Mediterranean Esthetic Program 2012
Session I - February 24 - 27, 2012 - Geneva, Switzerland
with Dr. Didier Dietschi and Dr. Panos Bazos, Dr. Jason Smithson

Direct Restorations and Adhesives in Esthetic Dentistry
The dramatic improvement in the overall population oral health as well as the growing concern of patients for tissue preservation and dental aesthetics has rejuvenated "free-hand bonding" and made it a primary treatment option for the anterior and posterior teeth. Today, composite resin restorations offer conservative, biological and esthetic solutions to many problems, which formerly could only be approached by expensive and more invasive ceramic restorations. However, composite systems are based on different layering concepts and as a consequence, the restoration esthetic potential is strictly linked to a perfect understanding of the shading concept and optical properties of the composite masses in relation with those of natural tissues.

Based on a thorough observation of natural esthetics and the application of the so-called "natural layering", together with an appropriate selection of composite brands, the clinicians can produce beautiful natural like direct composite restorations. The lecture will cover fundamental knowledge about colour and optical properties of natural tissues, will overview the indications of composite restorations in the front and psoterior teeth and will provide a comprehensive description of clinical procedures.




Session II - May 24 - 27, 2012 - Athens, Greece
with Dr. Daniel Edelhoff, Dr. Panos Bazos & Dr. Stratis Papazaglou

Indirect Restorations, Full Ceramic Crowns and Veneers
Creating the precision in terms of the preparation, fit and the aesthetic final outcome with veneer restorations needs a detailed treatment plan which is unique to each case. Designing a new smile for a patient consists of many steps which are very important and if followed correctly, produce predictable success. The key to aesthetic excellence requires patient communication as well as the communication with the laboratory and the specialists from the beginning of the case till the end. This presentation will help the clinician to understand the clinical steps as well the patient communication steps.

In today's dentistry success depends on an interdisciplinary team work. Every member of the team (including the specialists, lab technicians and the patient) should be aware of the treatment planning and the end result from the beginning. Every effort should be spent to bring the teeth to their natural position on the dental arch, hence creating enough space for the restoration to be received so that the aim should be minimum tooth preparation.

After that stage, in order to achieve a very precise and predictable tooth preparation, wax-up, silicon indexes and related techniques such as APR (Aesthetic Pre Recontouring), APT (Aesthetic Pre-evaluative Temporaries) and preparation through the APTs are extremely crucial. This eliminates all the possible mistakes and destruction of the depth cutters that could have been done if the tooth was to be prepared without realizing the aging affects on the enamel (volumetric enamel loss) or their inappropriate teeth positions on the dental arch.




Session III - October 9 - 12, 2012 - Athens, Greece
with Dr. Mauro Fradeani & Dr. Egon Euwe

All Ceramic Restorations and Fixed Prosthodontics:
Designing anterior and posterior restorations with optimum esthetics requires correct treatment planning, evaluation of a suitable ceramic material, and skillful application and techniques. The use of metal-free ceramic materials allows to achieve excellent esthetic results in the anterior and posterior areas for crown and bridge fabrication. Material selection with dental ceramist is fundamental in management of complex rehabilitation cases. Several clinical follow-up of glass ceramic and alumina and zirconia systems indicate the adequacy of these materials for anterior and posterior restorations. Clinical and technical suggestions for obtaining esthetic and durable results will be supplied.




Session IV - December 3 - 7, 2012 - Los Angeles, CA

Testimonials:
"The Master Clinician Program is everything I expected. It has allowed me to implement many implant procedures, both basic and advanced, immediately into my practice. With the included full gIDE library Membership, it is the best practice investment I've made second only to building my office 25 years ago."
Dr. David Azar, Master Clinician Program 2009-2010

"Sascha, thank you again for you and the gIDE teams mentorship throughout the gIDE program. I am now placing implants on almost a daily basis and am using many of the skills and techniques I learnt during the program."
Dr. Craig Mallorie, Australia Master Clinician Program 2010-2011
Melbourne, Australia
"With 15 years of experience and having attended numerous certification programs ranging from the elementary to the advanced, I entered the gIDE program with only moderate expectations. I have been exceptionally impressed with the course content and the quality of the educators. I have taken more from this course than any of my previous courses combined. Well done, gIDE."
Dr. Nigel Reynolds, Mediterranean MP 2011
Bristol, England
"From the perspective of a general dentist, who has an interest in implant dentistry, with good prosthetic knowledge (but limited surgical experience), this program is ideal. I feel that I have gained a lot from it and it has given me the confidence to take the next step and launch my surgical implant career within the bounds of general practice. What attracted me was the significant knowledge base we are taught and the evidence-based approach. It has been a privilege to personally learn from world-class clinicians and receive a certificate of recognition."
Dr. Safranek, Australia Master Clinician Program 2011
Suffolk Park, Australia
"My philosophical and practical view of dentistry has changed. Being in touch with such inspiring clinicians from around the world, is really a luxury. Spending money on education is the best investment you can do, and this is especially true with this Master Clinician Program. Thank you so much."
Dr. Julio Garzon, North America MP 2011
Bogota, Colombia
"The Master Clinician Program was an excellent training course to gain confidence in approaching advanced and complex implant patients. It has also helped me to achieve a scientific and evidence-based approach to my patient concerns. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in providing the best and informed treatment for their patients."
Dr. Gordon Wong, North America MP 2011
Toronto, Canada
"High level professional program that provided excellent enhancement for the treatment modalities I offer my patients. Thank you for the initiative and leadership of gIDE, a unique organization that shares state-of-the-art knowledge, crossing the borders of nations, languages, and ages.

Dr. Kuo Yi-Chia, Taiwan Master Clinican Program 2011
Kowloon, Taiwan
"I had done many courses on implant therapy; however this 1-year program is so comprehensive that it brought together many issues for me. The collaborating teachers are at the cutting edge of modern implant therapy and very approachable. Dr. Jovanovic has a gift as a teacher and one can only be motivated by his passion and art. The standard of lectures is exceptional from worldwide expert contributors in the different fields of augmentation, soft tissue and prosthodontics. In all cases evidence based therapies are pre-sorted and paper lists readily accessible. The combination of 3 modules in your country of origin and accessibility of lectures on iPad make for a seamless and well-organized experience. The final module makes for an enjoyable, collaborative final wrap. I would recommend this course as clinically relevant, comprehensive, and well managed."
Dr. Tim Hart
Australia MP 2011
Sydney, Australia
"Attending the lectures of the Master Clinician program from gIDE feels like being told the secrets of how magic is done. The program has revolutionized the way I think about implant dentistry. Prior to doing the course I had only placed 8 implants, but since starting the course I now place 2 or 3 per week and expect this number to increase. The knowledge I have obtained is invaluable to my patient practice. You really feel like the lecture content is at the cutting edge of implant dentistry, which ultimately enables me to provide my patients with the best-advanced treatment available. Thank you!"
Dr. Mallorie, Australia MP 2011
Melbourne, Australia
"I have placed implants for 10 years, learning the science of implantology by a piecemeal process. This course has drawn all my previous education together into a meaningful smooth integrated process. Couple this with our teachers basing our course around clinical cases that they have done themselves gives a practical approach which can be easily applied to our own implant practices. Being also university based we are also privileged to see leading edge research which gives an insight to the future of this discipline. The course although intense is most interesting with content that has kept me stimulated throughout."
Dr. Winter
Australia MP 2011
Napier, Australia
"It gives me the great opportunity to see the top class masters doing implants; more notably, is the fact that we are not only learning the newest techniques, but also the reasoning and thought process behind each decision. I have definitely gained a lot and would definitely recommend this course to anybody who wants to learn implant dentistry."
Dr. Cheung Man Fei, Taiwan MP 2011
Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong
"I have found the gIDE Master Clinician Program to be outstanding not only in its scope and content, but also in its provision of direct access to the leading clinicians in the field of implant placement and restoration. The comprehensive coverage of both hard and soft tissue procedures has completely changed the way I plan treatment to my cases. I would highly recommend this course to any dentist who wishes to understand the complexity of treatment planning, rather than simply imitating a local instructor."
Dr. Stephan Caddy, Australia MP 2011
Scarborought, Australia
"I am very happy with the lectures and live surgery. This year has been fantastic for me, namely, with implant treatment- both prosthodontically and surgically. I think I know much more now than ever before. A real ‘confidence booster’ for my professional life."

"This is a very comprehensive program in implant dentistry for me as a general practitioner who had just started learning and placing implants for patients who are in need of this treatment. I have gained extensive knowledge in the two essential areas: literature reviews/evidence-based dentistry and clinical components regarding implant dentistry. Therefore, I’d like to express my gratification and immense satisfaction to the faculty and, especially, Dr. Jovanovic for this thoughtful and extremely interesting program, which supported my learning and boosted up my knowledge and hence confidence as a GDP, who has been influenced positively after taking this program. Thank you to gIDE and faculty members this year. This clinician program is excellent. I will keep my interests in continuing education at gIDE in the future."
Dr. Chiu Lillian Pui Yuk, Taiwan MP 2011
Kowloon, Hong Kong
"This course is complete, excellent, and loaded with knowledge and expert experience from the wonderful faculty. It's the ultimate advanced course, which is why I think that all implantologists should join- to improve the whole outlook towards esthetic and functional Implantology, all while improving the success rate. We, the India chapter, feel very proud to be partners with gIDE. May the India and all the other programs be a great success, as always. Looking forward to being in a active, long-term association with gIDE."

"The most significant part, for me, is the live surgery.

"This was a very complete program. It covers most of the dental disciplines related to Implant Dentistry. I would have liked to see more on sinus lift techniques and Orthodontics as an important tool and part in the multidisciplinary treatment. This is the only thing I would add to the program. Apart from this, everything was just perfect, exceeded my expectations. I’m very happy with the teachers and their accessibility, always open to our problems and questions. The length of the session could not be better. This way we worked from sun to sun, but on selected day, we could still work at our own offices. This is, I think, one of the best advantages of your program. "

"The education I experienced from Dr. Jovanovic and his gIDE Institute surpassed all other dental continuums in my 30-year career. The breadth of information I learned was organized through live & online lectures & clinical surgeries. Indeed a revolutionary way in learning. Dr. Jovanovic's vision for the institute’s education style is certainly effective and unmatched. His extensive international contacts in implant dentistry is evident throughout the course and website which provides the best current information and techniques from around the world.
