17.01.2022 The pandemic will significantly affect our ability to plan and execute prosthodontic rehabilitation that balances quality of life expectations, attainable outcomes, and cost considerations for our patients. Tomorrow Dr Sreenivas Koka, San Diego Prosthodontist, TED Speaker and President of the International College of Prosthodontists, will give a complimentary webinar titled "Post-Pandemic Prosthodontics." He will discuss his experiences and the available evidence comparing oral health-related quality of life provided by tooth-borne and implant-borne, fixed and removable dental prostheses. This lecture will not be recorded. Sunday 16th August 10:00AM (AEST - Sydney, Australia) Register at https://www.creedce.com/webinars

15.01.2022 Doctors and health workers across the world are giving up time with their loved ones to help keep ours safe and well. They have a simple request for all their h...ard work in combating COVID-19 ... Social distancing. Hand washing, personal hygiene and cough/sneeze etiquette also remain key to limiting transmission.

15.01.2022 Gobbato L, Paniz G, Mazzocco F, Chierico A, Tsukiyama T, Levi P, Weisgold A. Significance of crown shape in the replacement of a single central incisor with a single implant-supported crown. Quintessence Int 2013;44:407413. The aim of this study was to analyse the significance of natural crown shape when replacing a central incisor with an implant-borne crown. Included in the study were 60 patients, who received a single implant-borne crown to replace a maxillary central inc...isor, and whose final aesthetic result had gingival symmetry, dental symmetry, no black triangles, and no diastema. Most (65%) of the teeth that were triangular in shape received an additional restoration on the adjacent central incisor, while some (40%) of the square-tapered group required an additional restoration, and few (13.3%) of the square group required an additional restoration. All teeth requiring additional restorations had their original shape changed to a square form. Additional restorations included composite resin restorations, porcelain veneers and crowns. When obtaining consent from a patient requiring the replacement of a maxillary central incisor with an implant-borne crown, the potential need and cost (financial and biological) for an adjacent restoration should be discussed. The shape of the natural tooth may be a predictor of the need for an adjacent restoration. The patient should also be advised about the potential need to change the original shape of the tooth in order to close black triangles, diastema or to achieve symmetry.

13.01.2022 COVID-19 will no doubt change the way we as dentists practice. When this is all over and we are finally able to return to normal practice I foresee additional measures required of us to safeguard our patients, our staff and ourselves. In the days before Level 3 restrictions and closure of my practice I implemented some measures which some may find useful or interesting. Disclosure: I have no financial interest in any of the products.

12.01.2022 The Order of Australia is an order of chivalry established on 14 February 1975 by Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, to recognise Australian citizens and other persons for achievement or meritorious service. It confers the highest recognition for outstanding achievement and service. Congratulations Dr Stephen Chen. It is well deserved.

11.01.2022 The Split Key Technique - a method that I have developed for the fabrication of provisional veneers. Happy holidays everyone :)

10.01.2022 Hi all, sorry this is a repost as I accidentally deleted it from a while back. It's been a crazy year but I will endeavour to post once more before the year's end. Cheers y'all

10.01.2022 PFZ Screw-retained implant-borne crown. Type II implant placement concurrent with guided bone regeneration. Technical work by Ricky Lee.

09.01.2022 It was an honour to be invited to Japan to attend Tokyo Medical and Dental University, where I had the opportunity to observe the use of optical coherence tomography in an intra-oral scanner on a live subject. The short video shows an all-ceramic crown being scanned and a bubble in the cement layer being discovered unexpectedly. Unlike current intra-oral scanners on the market this technology is able to produce a true 3-dimensional image with volume, much like micro CT (witho...ut the radiation). The scanner has sub 10 micron resolution and uses infra-red which can penetrate soft- and hard-tissue. Sub-gingival crown margins, marginal gaps, residual cement, cracks, periodontal pockets, sub-gingival calculus, caries, the dentino-enamel junction, and even the orientation of connective tissue fibres in the periodontium can be visualised. I was awed. This is the future of intra-oral scanning.

07.01.2022 On behalf of the University of Sydney, here is the final advert for Extended Fixed Prosthodontics 2: Implantology, followed by a short case about managing peri-implant soft tissue aesthetics. EFP2 is a premium implant pros course that is practical, unsponsored, unfiltered - the real deal. Thanks y’all for your support :)

04.01.2022 Use of subcrestal angulation correction implants to avoid staged bone grafting.
