• Periodontal Disease Alternative Treatment Three presentations for dental patients demonstrating some of the latest choices in Minimally Invasive treatments for treating and controlling Periodontitis.
  
  
• Periodontitis Intervention -Bone Loss Rehabilitation
  WARNING - This video clip is extremely GRAPHIC - Live Surgery involving mutliple extractions, creation of a Perio Flap to expose the bone ridge and suturing is displayed. A daring film clip designed to provide a visual outline of the surgical sequences used for treating advanced periodontal disease that includes multiple tooth extractions and bone grafting treatment. Puros Allograft is applied as needed in compromised bone areas. Temporary - provisional implants (IPI) are placed in healthy bone to accommodate a temporary prosthesis while bone grafts heal. An Ossix membrane is also sutured into two locations for maintaining successful bone regeneration. Media provided by Dr. Daniel Marinic of Chicago (Evanston) Illinois.
  
  
• Frenectomy: Laser Treatment for Tongue Tied Condition
  WARNING - This video is GRAPHIC - Watch how a laser is used to remove connective tissue on the underside of a tongue that has historically limited movement of the tongue and has caused speech problems. Pain and discomfort is minimal for this surgery, which typically can be completed in less than 5 minutes.

• Cytoplast Grafting Products: Live Surgery Demonstration
  WARNING - This video clip is extremely GRAPHIC - Cytoplast grafting products are used in treating two upper jaw anterior extraction sites that had significant bone and tissue loss. See how extraction sites are prepared for grafting procedures. Pulverized graft material is mixed and packed into extraction sites. A graft membrane is sutured into place to complete treatment and provide an optimized environment for successful hard and soft tissue regeneration. Video sequences produced by Cytoplast.

• Minimally Invasive Gum Recontouring
  Dental lasers are commonly used by skilled dentists for performing gum tissue reshaping and recontouring. Compared to other techniques, dental lasers offer the security of being minimally invasive, requiring a minimum of topical anesthesia. Suturing is eliminated. Lased tissue is self - cauterizing and can be altered with precision. Watch this 2 minute video that represents a gum reshaping procedure for the upper jaw. Multimedia file provided by Dr. James Sanderson of Birmingham, AL.
  
  
• Lip Sore - Hematoma Removal via Minimally Invasive Laser Tissue Therapy
  A live tissue lasing treatment session for complete ablation (removal) of a capillary hemangioma on the lower lip of a female patient. Minimally invasive therapy that eliminates the need for scalpals and suturing. Multimedia file provided by Dr. James Sanderson of Birmingham Alabama.
  
  
  
• Orthodontic Fibroma Lesion Removal - Surgery Alternative
  Orthodontic braces sometimes can cause the growth of Friboma. Left untreated they can become unmanageable. Watch a live lesion removal procedure performed with minimally invasive Erbium laser technology. Watch the steps taken to isolate the lesion and the steps taken to gently remove the entire mass. Traditional surgery involving the use of scalpels and suturing was avoided. Pain and discomfort were a non-issue for the patient. Listen for her reaction at the completion of treatment. Provided by Dr. James Sanderson of Birmingham Alabama.
  
  
• Orthodontic Cuspid Uncovering - Non Surgical Laser Alternative
  Orthodontic treatment frequently requires specialized procedures to "pull down" one or more tooth structures. In this treatment example, an impacted cuspid is treated via laser treatments to expose the tooth structure that will enable the mounting of an ortho bracket to begin the process. Non surgical lasing eliminated the need for invasive tissue surgery and suturing. Provided by Dr. James Sanderson of Birmingham Alabama.
  
  
• Gingival Tissue Harvesting - Gum Grafting Surgery
  An EXTREMELY GRAPHIC (warning - excising of live tissue is demonstrated) film clip that provides a visual outline of the steps involved in Periodontal tissue harvesting. In this particular treatment, a patient is undergoing gum tissue grafting to eliminate gum recession caused by periodontitis. Material provided by Dr. Mitchell Pohl and Dr. Ernest Orphanos, Boca Raton, South Florida
  
  
• Gum Recession: An Anatomy
  A brief discussion of anatomical characteristics of gum recession. In this particular case the recession discussion is limited to an upper jaw tooth structure. Relationships between soft tissue loss and impending hard tissue (bone) loss are further detailed.

• Gum Disease: An Anatomy
  An animation clip outlining causes and stages of gum disease. Learn about pocket formation and the reasons for securing treatment. Produced by PerioChip, a product line that provides alternatives to traditional periodontal disease treatment.
  
  
• Treatment of the Periodontal Pocket
  An animated film clip describing periodontal pocket formation, measurement of pocket depth and traditional scaling and root planing (for pockets exceeding 5mm). Animation graphics demonstrate the measuring and scaling procedures. Produced by PerioChip, a product line that provides treatment alternatives to traditional periodontal disease treatment.
  
  
  
  
• Gum Tissue Grafting: Gingival Recession Repair
  A GRAPHIC 8 minute video demonstrating an entire gum grafting procedure, from start to finish, for repairing tissue damage caused by gum recession. Grafting tissue was provided by the patient, excised from the roof of the mouth. Watch and learn how severe gum recession on one or more tooth structures can be modified to produce the desired aesthetic results and to help manage or halt on-going bone loss.

• Immediate Load (Same Day) Surgery
  Watch a live surgery showing the extraction of a broken anterior tooth that was immediately followed up with an immediate load implant. Proprietary tooth extraction instruments eliminated the loss of significant bone material, thereby not requiring a bone graft procedure. Material provided by Dr. Dan Marinic of Chicago Illinois (Evanston)
  
  
• Bone Compaction for Weak Jawbone Mass
  A multimedia outline of how ridge splitting and bone compaction instruments alter the integrity of jawbone material as it is being prepared for dental implants. Practiced by only a few accomplished implantologists nationwide, bone compaction can assure implant success for patients who have had a history of compromised jawbone mass. Implants for this patient (live surgery) were placed on upper and lower jaws. Material provided by Dr. Richard Winter of Milwaukee Wisconsin
  
  
• Sinus Lift Surgery
  Edited for graphic content and time constraints, this media segment outlines the process and procedures for performing a Sinus Lift surgery. See actual surgery sequences involved for performing sinus lift surgery that is accompanied by the insertion of bone grafting material as needed to fortify a dental implant site. Material provided by Dr. Richard Winter of Milwaukee Wisconsin
  
  
• Sinus Lift and Grafting Surgery
  Edited for graphic content and timeline, this segment outlines the surgical procedure used after tooth extraction in the Left Maxillary Quadrant. See how a sinus cavity or sinus lift procedure is performed in an actual surgery setting. Presentation provided by Dr. Richard Winter of Milwaukee Wisconsin
