Session 1
Determining Optimal Times for Tooth Preservation versus Extraction; Strategic Decision Marking
We will delve into the nuanced decision-making processes, focusing on the delicate balance between preserving natural teeth and opting for extraction. We will explore clinical indicators, patient-specific factors, and evidence-based practices to help you navigate these crucial decisions effectively. Through
case studies and evidence-based insights, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the decisions involved in preserving natural dentition and the rationale behind tooth extraction when warranted. The interactive session encourages sharing experiences and exchanging insights to collectively elevate our knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
Session 2
The Dual Zone Therapeutic Concept for Predictable Anterior Implant Aesthetics
In this session, we explore the dual zone therapeutic concept for achieving reliable esthetics in anterior implant procedures. Attendees will learn that by addressing both the gingival and bone zones, we can enhance the predictability of esthetic outcomes as it relates to immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets. Join us as we delve into the major concepts ; 1. The biologic criteria for patient selection. 2. Immediate surgical considerations. 3. Prosthetic considerations for esthetic success .
Our interactive session aims at enhancing your understanding to collectively elevate our knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
Session 3
Advanced Surgical and Restorative Factors in Managing End-Stage Dentition
During this session, we’ll embark on an extensive exploration of the hurdles faced when dealing with terminal dentition. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the collaborative efforts required between surgical and restorative teams to navigate the complexities of managing end-stage dentition successfully. By leveraging the latest techniques in both fields, we will pave the way to improving patient
quality of life through the utilization of implant-supported prostheses.
Session 4
Navigating Complexities: Real-world Challenges in Implant Dentistry
In this session, we’ll navigate the complexities faced by dentists, addressing real issues and providing practical strategies for overcoming them. From treatment planning dilemmas to surgical and prosthetic challenges, we’ll delve into the multifaceted challenges of implant dentistry. Through case studies, attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating these complexities in the hopes of avoiding
them.
Dr. Richard Ansong obtained his undergraduate dental training at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. He also completed a Masters of Science, and certificate in Prosthodontics training, at the University of Washington Graduate Prosthodontics Program, Seattle. Following that, Dr. Ansong also successfully completed a two-year Fellowship training in dental implants and dental implant related surgical procedures, at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.
He has lectured to numerous study clubs and dental meetings in New York, Seattle and Washington DC on relevant topics in prosthodontics and implant dentistry. Currently, Dr. Ansong works as a surgical prosthodontist in the North of Spain, Asturias. His interest lies mostly in bridging the gap between surgical and restorative dentistry.
