Assessing Structural Integrity of Teeth & Implants Using AI and Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics (QPD)
Presenter: Dr. Cherilyn Sheets CE Supporter: Perimetrics
One of the more challenging diagnostic efforts in dentistry is the assessment of the structural integrity of teeth and dental implants. Cracked teeth, deteriorating/fracturing restorations, loss of cement seal or loss of osseointegration are often hard to diagnose until the results are advanced or catastrophic. Quantitative Percussion Diagnostics (QPD) has been shown in over 28 peer reviewed studies in engineering and dental journals to be an accurate and reliable test for determining the structural wellness of teeth or implants. QPD is a mechanical test similar to evaluation methods used in engineering for assessing structural stability of objects, in contrast to visually based dental diagnostics such as radiographs and visual examination. The mechanism that creates QPD data has been illustrated by Finite Element Analysis of novel models of uncracked and cracked teeth. QPD, FEA modeling plus the addition of AI and Machine Learning are currently creating a future for dentistry of predictive diagnostics, where structural problems can be diagnosed early and rated as to type or severity. Preventive or therapeutic steps can then be instituted earlier in the damage cycle prior to the occurrence of advanced or catastrophic results, providing dentists with a new aid to diagnosis.

Direct Resin Artistry: Creating Life Like Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Lineberry CE Supporter: DMG America
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.
