Bockhorst, DMD n With the new Inclusive® Tooth Replacement Solution from Glidewell Laboratories, the clinician receives all the components necessary to place, provisionalize and restore an implant. Custom-designed temporary com- ponents allow for immediate provi- sionalization specific to each patient, and a matching custom impression coping communicates the final gingi- valarchitecturetothelaboratory.The InclusiveToothReplacementSolution supportsastreamlinedworkflowthat ensures predictability and long-term success. With this solution, experienced and novice clinicians alike can place and restore dental implants with greater confidence than ever before. Once you’ve selected a diameter and length of implant, forward the diag- nostic materials (impressions, mod- els, bite registration, shade, implant size)toGlidewellforfabricationofthe custom components. The laboratory will pour and articulate the models and assemble the components, delivered to you in an all-inclusive box, including a prosthetic guide, custom temporary abutment, BioTemps® provisional crown (Glidewell), custom healing abutment, custom impression coping, surgical drills and Inclusive Tapered Implant (Glidewell).

After placing the implant and veri- fyingitsposition(Fig.2),decidebased on the level of primary stability whether to place the custom healing abutment (Fig. 3) or custom tempo- rary abutment and accompanying BioTemps crown. Either option will begin sculpting the soft-tissue architecture around the implant to develop the future emergence profile. Upon successful osseointegration, the restorative phase begins. Con- toursofthecustomimpressioncoping match those of the custom abutment, so it’s simple to remove, seat the impression coping and take an accu- rate full-arch final impression.

More than 20 programs represent- ing a wide spectrum of dental inter- ests were presented, including 12 hours of CORE-approved courses. Liz Pearson, one of TAD’s featured clinicians, unveiled her new book and was also available for book signings. The proceeds of the signings when to About Face. The Canadian Armed Forces were active participants with a program on nation building and a display on the exhibit floor of a mobile dental suite. Many lecture rooms were at capac- ity and overflowing. The academy launched its new initiative with the Mikey Network, a program geared to placing automatic external defibrilla- tors (AEDs) in public places. The team concept of Winter Clinic continues to attract dentists, hygien- ists, assistants and office administra- tors from not only the Toronto area but from all over the province and even from the United States, the academy said. Congratulations to the winners of the photography contest, and congrat- ulations to the winner of the free trip for two donated by Sandals, Dr. Juris Michelsons of Cambridge, Ontario.
