| 25 | VideoRestorative Options for a Severe Tetracycline Case | Dr. DiTolla treats a patient who is unhappy with the appearance of her porcelain veneers. The veneers are very opaque due to the fact that she has deep tetracycline staining throughout the entire tooth. Dr. DiTolla makes the decision that this type of case is well suited for Captek™ crowns. And because the teeth have already been prepped for veneers, it will not require much additional preparation. The patient, however, wants to try one more set of veneers prior to switching to crowns. Watch this clinical video to find out which restoration ends up providing the better esthetic result. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 26 | VideoCaptek™ Reconstruction of a GERD Ravaged Dentition | Dr. DiTolla treats a patient who is unhappy with the appearance of his smile. The patient suffers from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, which has resulted in the erosion of most tooth structure from the anterior teeth and, as a result, left him with short clinical crowns and a reverse smile line. In order to reconstruct his smile, his bite will need to be opened and posts/ buildups will need to be placed on teeth #7-10. To promote gingival health, Captek™ will be the restoration of choice. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 27 | VideoClinical Tips to Enhance PFM Esthetics & Predictability | Even after 50 years of regular service, PFM restorations still have room for improvement. To produce optimum PFM restorations, it is necessary for the dentist and dental laboratory to work together closely to ensure they communicate both impression and shade information accurately. PFM tooth preparations require approximately 1.2-1.5 mm of reduction on all surfaces except for the occlusal, which requires 2.0 mm of reduction. Strategically placed cuts at these specific depths are quite beneficial in ensuring proper reduction has been accomplished. Without proper reduction, the longevity and overall esthetics of the PFM restoration will be negatively affected. PFM impressions need to be as accurate as possible. A national laboratory association reports that 90 percent of impressions for full crowns do not include all tooth preparation margins around the entire periphery of the tooth. Modern ceramics have excellent strength and esthetic characteristics when they are fired no more than 1.5-2 mm thick (porcelain will likely fracture when fired thicker than 2.0 mm). Resin reinforced glass ionomers are the most popular cements used today because they are easy to use, strong, relatively insoluble, fluoride releasing and bond to tooth structure. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 28 | VideoBioTemps - Clinical Techniques For Indirect Temporization | Commonly encountered dental challenges are highlighted for several cases, and obtaining desired esthetic and functional results using laboratory-fabricated temporaries is demonstrated. From planning to the execution of a case, all of the necessary steps, a few optional approaches and many practice tips are provided to help practitioners use temporaries more effectively in order to achieve desired clinical results. Beginning with a brief understanding of laboratory-fabricated temporaries, the basics of fitting and cementing them serve as a backdrop for a productive discussion of many practice techniques (e.g., a review of the Reverse Preparation Technique or use of a clear suck-down splint to achieve enough reduction, removing old restorations, bonding a buildup in place for uniform thickness, temporary reline material, restoring and capturing a new bite relationship, and a demonstration of useful instruments). Also shown is how to use temporaries to create an ideal pontic receptor site, achieve desired tissue levels and promote gingival healing. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 29 | VideoSimplifying Combination Casework | This presentation is comprised of three combination cases to illustrate the rehabilitation of commonly-encountered oral situations using a combination of fixed restorations and both upper and lower removable partial dentures. Esthetic and conventional partials are discussed and demonstrated. An abundant use of diagnostic and working models, diagrams and an extensive exhibition of “before” and “after” situations are used to focus on important facts and to provide tips on how to provide functional and esthetic results. Various attachment and clasping options are thoroughly discussed. Many practice pointers are provided, including tooth-preparation, impression materials and techniques, and the cementation of final restorations in combination with the placement of removable restorations. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

A straightforward execution of the necessary steps—based on some basic placement and bonding principals that are presented—provides a useful approach to successfully placing and bonding porcelain veneers. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 31 | VideoUnique Use of No-prep Veneers to Correct Multiple Esthetic Concerns | Although many alternative restorative options are sometimes available—each offering positives and negatives—overcoming a challenge while creating a happy patient was the optimum solution in this case. No more spaces between the teeth and no tooth preparation were the patient’s primary concerns, whereas the lack of an ideal result was not a problem: understanding the patient’s goals and requirements and a willingness to think outside of the box helped to make a big difference for this dental-phobic patient. The case considered and accomplished the patient’s objectives in a single visit. No-prep veneers eliminated the need for preparation or temporization. An extensive analysis of the case is provided, and many practice techniques and tips are discussed and demonstrated. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 33 | VideoComparative Study of No-prep, Laser Removal, and Minimal-prep Veneers on the same patient | There seems to be an ongoing controversy in the world of esthetic dentistry as to whether prepped or no-prep veneers are the better restoration. In an attempt to find the answer, we compare the esthetic results achieved with both types of veneers. This fascinating case highlights the sometimes-subtle differences between these two veneer modalities. This video presents a patient willing to have no-prep veneers placed, removed with a laser, and then have minimal-prep veneers placed, offering a unique opportunity to compare the two side by side. The two techniques are then compared and discussed in detail using the “after” photos from each procedure. | 1/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
