Bambara, M.S., D.M.D., F.A.C.D., F.I.C.D. Faculty, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine Clinician: John A. Galli, D.D.S., F.A.A.P. Attending, Maimonides Medical Center Synopsis: This course covers all aspects of attachment dentistry in detail and takes the mystery out of treatment planning segmented fixed bridges, removable partial dentures and overdentures on natural teeth or implants. It emphasizes the rationale for using precision and semiprecision attachments in the treatment planning of fixed and removable partial dentures, overdentures and implants. Each of these prosthetic options will be discussed in detail, especially implants, which require special treatment planning considerations. The role of the restorative dentist will be clarified as the one who initiates treatment planning the number of implants that will ensure success through the use of study models, wax bites, occlusal set-ups and surgical stents. A clear understanding of what needs to be achieved must be established first by the restorative dentist and communicated to the surgeon and the patient. A greater understanding of these disciplines will lead to greater practice utilization and incorporation of dental attachments in our practices. Various types of coronal and radicular resilient and non-resilient attachments will be discussed including bar joints and bar units, studs and magnets. Synopsis: This program will provide practitioners with an examination of some of the advanced issues they might encounter when treating pediatric patients. It will begin with a discussion of the diagnosis of and treatment planning for deep carious lesions into or near the pulp. Both anterior and posterior full coverage restoration will be shown in detail. The general practitioner or pediatric dentist will learn to rule out pulpal pathosis and create strong aesthetic restorations in the comprehensive care for nursing caries in children. The presentation will then transition into pediatric oral surgery, with an illustration of hard and soft tissue trauma and information on how to evaluate and prepare a treatment plan. Emergency care and elective pediatric oral surgical procedures such as neonatal tooth extractions, mesiodens, supernumerary teeth and lingual frenectomies, etc., will be reviewed. This is a digital presentation of 39 years of clinical experience in private practice. A logical approach to the treatment planning of attachment dentistry will be presented, thus ensuring long-term success and patient satisfaction. Clinical cases will be reviewed and participants will gain knowledge, excitement and confidence, enabling them to utilize attachments in their daily practice immediately. Participants are encouraged to bring questions which will be discussed throughout the presentation, as well as any of their past experiences with dental attachments. Upon successful completion of this course, attendees will learn how to control loading and rotational forces, the “dos and don’ts” of attachment case treatment planning, how to first do occlusal set-ups and create surgical stents and become familiar with relining techniques.
