This course gives deep insights in the Concept of Biological Bone Augmentation (BBA) with pure autogenous bone and tissue and is addressed to all clinicians who have already own experience in augmentation techniques. Clear guidelines for the use of autogenous bone harvesting and augmentation techniques in order to achieve predicable results will be provided as well as reliable techniques in complication treatment.

In recent years, the rise of digital technologies such as Cone Beam CT, Intraoral Scanning and Rapid Prototyping and their implementation into everyday Dentistry, has led Prosthodontics into a new era .Particularly in the field of Implant Prosthodontics, it is now possible to complete the restoration following a full digital workflow without the need for a physical stone or plastic cast. The increase in IOS accuracy, the advent of new aesthetic monolithic materials and their improved production methods has allowed dentists to realize a Scan-Plan-Produce-Fit workflow that promises shorter and fewer clinical and laboratory steps, increased aesthetics, greater patient acceptance and thus greater overall treatment efficiency. This two-day course will focus on this particular workflow, discuss its advantages and disadvantages and ultimately answer the question in hand, Is modern Prosthodontics going through a paradigm shift?

Dental inlays and onlays are a dental procedure that is used to restore a decayed or damaged tooth to its original condition and can actually strengthen it. They are a more conservative approach than a dental crown because they don't involve the removal of healthy tooth structure. For this reason inlays and onlays are considered a minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry treatment and for many dentists and patients is a much better choice. A crown although not a bad procedure involves the removal of more healthy tooth structure than needed and can increase the risk of tooth fracture and the need for a root canal treatment.

What makes BILD and MERIMNA INSTITUTE stand out from the crowd is the practical aspect, which allows dentists to leave the course and have the confidence to start using their laser straight away. Gain valuable experience in Laser dentistry with advanced techniques in clinical and cosmetic procedures. The one day course includes an introduction of lasers from fundamentals to clinical procedures, with live patient demonstration and hands-on in the afternoon performing clinical procedures using the Quicklase lasers practicing on sheep heads.

The all-on-4 concept of placing 4 well distributed implants to support a fixed full arch screw retained prosthesis is well documented and accepted as an implant treatment modality. This unedited live surgery webinar will show the surgery of placing 4 implants in the maxilla and 4 implants in the mandible with a good primary stability – insertion torque of >45Ncm and in a reasonable A-P (anterior – posterior) spread to support a fixed retained prosthesis. Transmucosal multi-unit type abutments will be placed at the time of surgery and torqued to 45Ncm. Upper and lower full arch abutment level silicone impressions will be taken for immediate loading with screw retained prostheses.

This Microscope based simulation Endodontic course outlines the current best practices in endodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and execution. Developed and regularly updated by Dr. Chaniotis Antonis and Merimna Institute this course includes indications for treatment, explanation of procedures and objectives for the scope of endodontics including vital pulp therapy, regenerative endodontic procedures, initial root canal treatment, nonsurgical retreatment procedures and endodontic microsurgical procedures. Microscope Endodontic development it’s your gateway to endodontic excellence.

This series of webinars involves modern clinical concepts in daily endodontic practice. Some of the principles that are thoroughly presented in these webinars are the minimally invasive approach on non-surgical and surgical endodontics with respect to the natural dental and periradicular tissues, the preservation of the vital pulp and the use of recent bioactive endodontic materials. All concepts are presented in a clinically relevant and step-by-step procedural way so that they are easily comprehensible by the general dentists. Aim and Objectives, to be informed on the most updated protocols of clinical endodontics, to familiarize with clinical application of endodontic biomaterials, to acquire a knowledge on the 2D and 3D diagnostic approaches in endodontic case, to understand the success rate and organize and effective treatment plan in endodontics.

“Innovative Implant Design for Ultimate Aesthetics”. The use of coronal “body-shift” design implants allows a greater gap distance for blood clot formation and eventually new labial bone maturation . This predictably & reproducibly results in better soft tissues support , papilla preservation and ultimate aesthetics. Simultaneously the wider apical end ensures high insertion torque values at the time of implant placement for immediate function. The 12-degree angle which is incorporated into the body of these implants allows for sub-crestal angular correction and for a screw retained restoration. With good primary stability these reverse tapered implants can also be loaded immediately with SameDay® Teeth for immediate reconstruction & immediate function. In the single implant case, it is possible to deliver the permanent all ceramic zirconia screw retained restoration routinely & predictably within 4 hours. In cases of multiple implants, it is possible to deliver acrylic screw retained temporary teeth within 4 hours and permanent all-ceramic or metal-ceramic teeth within 7 days. High treatment acceptance and patient satisfaction are the most important advantages of this protocol. By avoiding excessive bone grafting with the use of Site Specific implants placed in available native bone, the gain in time for the patient implies an economic & time benefit which is important especially for professionally and/or socially active patients.

Impacted teeth are one of the most common reasons for surgical treatments in everyday dental practice. The main aim of the webinar is to familiarize general dentists with the basic principles of surgical management of impacted teeth. Reference is made to the anatomy of the area of interest and to the assessment of the surgical difficulty of an impacted tooth. There are also bibliographical references presented regarding frequent dilemmas that dentists face on this subject daily. A number of clinical cases are also presented that provide clinical tips to those who are dealing with such cases in their clinical practice. Finally, reference is made to intraoperative and postoperative complications and ways to avoid them.
