Luncheons for Learning
Surgical Considerations for the NeXsmile Procedure

Benjamin W. Young, D.D.S

FORMAT
One day a month a speaker discusses a dental topic during lunch. The sessions are informal and the group has an opportunity to interact with the speaker during the short discussion period at the end of the lecture. It requires only about one and one-half hour of your time to learn the latest developments in many areas of dentistry. It also offers the opportunity to become better acquainted with your colleagues and their staff since all dental allied personnel and technicians are also invited to attend.

OVERVIEW
The surgical placement of implants always affects the restorative outcome for better or worse. CT scans and 3D imaging now enable surgeons to get it right. Surgical guides can be fabricated from CT and scanned dental model data that will provide the correct trajectory and also indicated when and where bone should be removed. Without these two components, implants
frequently end-up violating the restorative space.

Dr. Young developed the surgical approach to the NeXsmile procedure and can show you why it is always better to transition patients to implants who have teeth (even poor ones) rather than first taking them through a complete denture phase.

OBJECTIVES
Understanding surgical placement of implants
Understanding CT scans and 3D imaging
Understanding Surgical guides
