Injection Molding: Incorporating Innovative Concepts for Esthetic and Reconstructive Dentistry in Clinical Practice
This fast-paced program will introduce clinicians to multiple injection molding techniques and applications. Treatment planning and case selection for anterior esthetic cases, loss of vertical dimension cases, wear cases, and full mouth reconstruction will be reviewed. Focus will be placed on how to prepare for clinical cases using the injection molding method. Materials and armamentarium that lend themselves to injection molding will be explored. Proper bonding, placement and finishing techniques will be discussed and practiced.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how injection molding fit into your clinical practice with step-by-step techniques
2. Learn how injection molding maximizes your clinical outcomes and profitability from simple to complex case work
3. Practice multiple techniques using injection molding principles
4. Practice with various materials that are designed ideally for injection molding
5. Learn protocols for finishing and polishing to yield the most esthetic results.

Why are my teeth getting so short? – Managing, altering and improving vertical Dimension…An Overview
Many disease processes can cause the loss of vertical dimension of occlusion. Attrition, Germ, Bulimia, Bruxism, and Acid Erosion can all contribute to the process. Identifying and treating the condition requires proper diagnosis, jaw positioning and case design. This program will give a brief overview of a number of techniques and materials that can be used to restore vertical dimension. A step-by-step process of restore vertical dimension will be outlined and discussed. Particular attention will be paid to determining etiology and difficulties clinician may face in restoring vertical dimension.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how to diagnose vertical dimension
2. Differentiate between loss of vertical dimension and compensatory eruption
3. Gain a better understanding of the contributing etiologies to loss of vertical dimension
4. Explore different approaches to restoration vertical dimension of occlusion
5. Learn new techniques and materials to assist in simple, predictable results
