The Neuromuscular Prosthesis Gone Digital |
Joseph J. Massad, DDS |
More Details |
- Presenter: Joseph J. Massad, DDS
- Time: 9:00am - 10:00am
- Description:
The concept of treating the totally edentulous has been driven from anatomical landmarks and averaging measurements. However, since patients are living longer, it is necessary to also record muscular components. On average the aging population has some degree of neural muscular atrophy, the muscles of facial expression begin to diminish in tone, affecting both esthetics and efficient chewing of a bolus of food. Understanding this we can capture the appropriate information and make a new customized prosthesis based on anatomical features and incorporates neuromuscular components that enhance the overall esthetic, function, and comfort. This method also identifies ideal implant placement.
-
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and record patient muscular components to form a customized new prosthesis.
- Identify the neutral space for the ideal implant placement.
- Digitally fabricate the final prosthesis using the muscles of facial expression and mastication.

Keynote 2: Full-Arch Hybrid Implant Prosthetics Driven by Digital Dentures |
Stephen F. Balshi, MBE |
More Details |
- Presenter: Stephen F. Balshi, MBE
- Time: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
- Description:
Full-arch reconstruction with dental implants has evolved over the years from the conventional two-stage protocol and transitioning to single-stage or immediate loading protocols. In more recent history, the inclusion of preoperative virtual implant planning and computer-assisted guided surgery has played a role in advancing this type of treatment for more accuracy and efficiency. This presentation will cover a workflow for full-arch reconstruction that uses a monolithic conversion denture that is uniquely prepared based on a digital denture design and virtual implant planning. This workflow can result in surgery that is performed by either 1) freehand implant placement following the virtual implant planning, 2) surgical guidance with dynamic navigation, or 3) surgical guidance using the conversion denture itself as a static guide. This workflow is intended to simplify and reduce treatment time and cost compared to the various "stackable" systems currently available for guided full arch prosthetics.
-
Learning Objectives:
- Detail the comprehensive evaluation patient appointment.
- Show virtual implant planning that is prosthetically driven by digital denture prosthetics.
- Using patient examples, illustrate protocols for provisionalization and delivery of definitive prostheses.
