“Management of Implant Site Development & Immediate
Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone:
An Evidenced-Based Team Approach.”
|
The title of Dr. Levine’s presentation is, “Management of Implant Site Development & Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone. An Evidenced-Based Team Approach.”
This clinical, usable information-packed presentation will describe and identify 10 essential “keys” for performing tooth replacement focusing on treating hopeless esthetic zone teeth. The esthetic zone is considered an Advanced to Complex SAC procedure and a team approach is suggested. The “Updated 10 Keys checklist” was published in the Academy of Osseointegration News (2022), if sequentially followed, will provide high predictability in preventing esthetic complications. It offers guidelines to ensure high success based on published studies by Dr. Levine and his clinical research group which confirm the use of the 10 Keys protocol (2 diagnostic, 5 surgical and 3 prosthetic keys) for the treatment of the hopeless maxillary central incisors. The 10 Keys checklist concepts applies to all implant site development procedures that clinicians treat daily at the time of extraction, i.e., spontaneous healing, alveolar ridge preservation or immediate implant placement. The development of the 10 Keys checklist is based on CBCT and clinical documentation of completed cases of Dr. Levine placed over 20 years ago ranging from tissue level to bone level implants which were analyzed at the University of Maringa, Brazil by Drs. Mauricio Araujo, and Debora Dias. Patient–reported outcome measures (PROMS) and practice “pearls” will be shared to make this treatment a seamless experience for the whole team.
Education Objectives
- Recognize the “human factors” that can be primary causes of technical and environmental complications in implant dentistry due to the lack of “checklists.”
- Describe the “10 Keys” team approach and its use as a diagnostic, surgical and prosthetic sequential checklist to avoid esthetic implant complications.
- Understand bone grafting concepts, membrane usage and biologic modifiers that can “supercharge” your grafting procedures
- Recognize the importance of using and reviewing with the patient the ITI’s Esthetic Risk Profile (ITI Treatment Guide 2017) and need for “virtual” CBCT implant planning.
- Understand the importance of phenotype modification as part of the surgical protocol with use of autogenous soft tissue grafting or a new volume stable collagen matrix (VSCM) for a “palate-free approach” to implant placement.
- Describe how Google® literally drives patients to our practices thru 5-star reviews as “we treat people, not patients.”
- Hands-on portion reviewing the concepts discussed in seminar.
Dr. Robert A. Levine maintained a private practice in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics for over 35 years. He graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry in 1981, received his post-grad certificate in Periodontics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984 and is presently a Clinical Professor in Post-Graduate Periodontics and Dental Implantology at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. He holds clinical teaching positions at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry at Chapel Hill, the University of Illinois College of Dentistry at Chicago and the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Levine is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, Fellow of the College of Physicians in Philadelphia (FCPP), President, and Fellow, of the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons (ISPPS), and a Diplomate, Fellow, and on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO). He has lectured extensively and has or presently serves on the Editorial Boards or reviewer of numerous international scientific dental journals including International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (IJOMI), International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry (IJPRD), Journal of Implantology, Clinical Implant Dentistry & Related Research (CIDRR), International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants (IJOMI), Clinical Advances in Periodontics (CAP) and the Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry where he served as the periodontal section editor for over 10 years. Dr. Levine has authored over 100 publications including 5 textbook chapters. He is a Fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI) and participated in the 4th thru 7th ITI Consensus Conferences to establish treatment protocols for implant dentistry worldwide. He presently serves on the US ITI Leadership Team as US Section Membership Coordinator and in the fall of 2024 will become the US ITI Section President.
His current research focus is on the avoidance of surgical and prosthetic complications and improving clinical outcomes using “checklists” and in 2020 created and led the “10 Keys Implant-Perio Clinical Research Group” with 17 clinical researchers from eight dental universities from around the world with the goal of establishing clinical protocols with checklists to avoid surgical and prosthetic complications in the fields of implant dentistry and periodontology. He will review several of his recent clinical research publications.
Since 2021, Dr. Levine has also organized, mentors and runs a monthly Multi-School Zoom Webinar Series thru the department of post-graduate periodontology at Temple University for over 15 post-grad periodontology and prosthodontic residency programs on interdisciplinary team approach to complex cases.
The program is open to The LSU Periodontics Department faculty, residents, staff and donors and The LSU Department of Prosthodontics faculty, residents and staff. 6 hours of clinical CE will be awarded. The event will be at LSU School of Dentistry Auditorium B for in person attendance, but will also streamed live via Zoom. The program will not be recorded. Participants desiring CE credits will be required to view the whole program and complete a very short questionnaire afterward. After the class, please allow three to four weeks to receive your certificate.
Kindest Regards,
Steven Spindler DDS, LSU Dent ’81 and Perio ‘83
The Show ‘N Tell event is underwritten by the R. Jack and Mary Louise Cassingham Endowed Chair in Periodontics.
The chair was established in 2003 two years before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the LSU school of dentistry. Because of Dr. Jack and Mary Louise Cassingham’s love and devotion to each other and their family as well as Dr. Cassingham’s lifelong dedication to dentistry, their family chose to fund the endowment in their honor. Dr. Gerald Evans, head of periodontics department, currently holds the Cassingham Chair.
In 1974 Dr. Cassingham helped launch the LSUSD Postdoctoral Program in Periodontics. He taught periodontics at LSUSD for 20 years and received the distinguished clinician award in 1987, all while maintaining his periodontics practice in the LSUSD Faculty Practice. Upon retirement in 1994, he was appointed Professor Emeritus to LSUSD. Mrs. Cassingham attended Loyola University School of law where she graduated law review. She worked as a law clerk with the Louisiana Supreme Court for 10 years. Dr. Cassingham passed away in 2007.
Show ‘N Tell Is an annual event hosted by the LSU School of Dentistry (LSUSD) Department of Periodontics. The event couples a morning lecture given by a noteworthy speaker followed by resident and fellow case presentations.
