AAID’s annual conference
blends classic, cutting edge
Planners say what
attendees learn in
Vegas should not
stay in Vegas but
head back to the
practice with them
By Max Moses
AAID Communications Director
T
he science of implant dentistry
sees improvements and innovation every day. The American
Academy of Implant Dentistry’s
64th Annual Educational Conference at
Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, from Oct. 2124, blends the classic with tomorrow’s innovations.
Attendees have the opportunity to earn
as many as 20 hours of continuing education credit focused on implant dentistry.
The theme of the conference, “Where Classic Principles Support Cutting-Edge Implant Dentistry,” serves as a reminder of
the groundwork laid more than 60 years
ago by dental implant pioneers. Caesars
Palace serves as an ideal Las Vegas backdrop to fit the classic educational theme
of the conference.
More than 1,000 implant dentistry professionals will hear from Dr. Carl Misch,
one of those pioneers in implant dentistry,
as he delivers one of the keynote addresses
on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 22. Back by
popular demand is Dr. Daniel Alam, who
was the leading microsurgeon on the first
face transplant performed in the United
States. Alam brought the audience to its
feet at the 2010 AAID Annual Conference.
This year, he will inspire attendees with
his presentation on “Face Transplantation:
Past, Present, Future,” as the closing keynote speaker of the conference.
During the three and one-half days,
world-renowned clinicians will review
time-honored dental implant techniques
and explore cutting-edge dental implants.
They will evaluate the latest concepts in
dental implant treatment planning and
rethink the science and practice of implant dentistry.
“The AAID is known for ‘providing practical education for the practicing implant
dentist.’ Not only is that found in the di-
Caesars Palace will provide the backdrop for the AAID 64th Annual Education Conference from Oct. 21-24.

dactic and hands-on sessions but through
the interaction of peers in the halls and at
the social events during our conference,”
said Dr. John Da Silva, president of the
AAID.
“What happens in Vegas at the AAID
Annual Educational Conference is not intended to stay in Vegas. Bring it home and
put it to use immediately in your practice,” he added.
In addition to main podium presentations, attendees can choose from 16
hands-on workshops as well as 16 didactic seminars. Two days of team-oriented
training are also offered.
Dr. Daniel
Alam
A post-conference, full-day course on
advanced soft- and hard-tissue grafting will be offered. This course includes
hands-on experience on cadaver heads.
Next year’s AAID Annual Educational
Conference will be held in New Orleans
from Oct. 26–29.
Established in 1951, the AAID is the only
dental implant organization that offers
credentials recognized by federal and
state courts as bona fide. Its membership,
which exceeds 5,000, includes general
dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists and
prosthodontists from across the United
States and 40 other countries.
Dr. Carl
Misch
The academy is known worldwide for
its credentialing program in implant dentistry. The rigorous requirements, coupled
with AAID’s commitment to educate patients about implant dentistry and the importance of using a knowledgeable, experienced and trained implant dentist, such
as an AAID credentialed member, sets the
academy apart. More information about
AAID’s consumer outreach can be found at
www.aaid-implant.org. Information about
educational offerings, valuable member
benefits, credentialing program and other
offerings from the AAID can be found online at www.aaid.com.

he California Implant Institute
is pleased to present five-day,
Level I and Level II comprehensive live patient surgical
externship courses in Baja California,
Mexico, this year.
Level I course
Attendees of the Level I course will
implement step-by-step implant surgical protocols on live patients under the
supervision of Louie Al-Faraje, DDS, and
additional faculty.
The five-day course will include eight
hours of lectures on diagnosis and treatment planning of implant cases (around
two hours each morning). Each attendee
will place 10-15 implants and assist with
multiple implants on live patients.
Course participants will increase
their knowledge and skill in the areas
of flap design, alveoloplasty, implant
placement, bone grafting and suturing
techniques. Upon completion of the externship, attendees will have smoother
transition from the classroom to surgically placing implants in their own offices.
All patients are carefully selected by
the California Implant Institute faculty, and CT scans are provided for all
patients. During the most recent program, 15 participants placed more than
170 implants, including immediate and
computer-guided placements, and performed multiple bone-grafting procedures.

AD
he Academy of Osseointegration (AO)’s Japan Chapter Charter recently held its inaugural
scientific meeting at the Tokyo
International Forum in Tokyo. More than
300 delegates representing implant associations from all across the country
gathered to discuss the theme “The Science of Implants and Associated Biology”
and learn from an international lineup of
speakers.
Dr. Takashi Sumi, Ichinomiya-City,
Aichi, Japan, the AO Japan ambassador,
organized the one-day scientific pro-
gram, which exemplified the successful
network AO is creating internationally
through its Charter Chapter initiative.
For more information about AO’s Global Outreach, including how to start a
charter chapter, visit www.osseo.org/
CharterChapters.html.
“The quality of all the presentations
was outstanding, with sound scientific
basis, relevant clinical applications and
a very high quality of clinical cases and
photography,” said Dr. Stephen Jacobs,
Glasgow, Scotland, vice chair, AO Global
Program Development Committee. “It
was inspiring to see so many clinicians
gathered together between AO’s Annual International Meetings to continue
learning and growing together.”
The day kicked off with Sumi and Drs.
Kenji Takeshita, Tokyo, and Kunihiko Teranishi, Tokyo, addressing the delegates,
welcoming them to the meeting and explaining the philosophy and purpose of
the Charter Chapter initiative.
AO President Dr. Russell Nishimura,
Westlake Village, Calif., then welcomed
AO members and non-members alike
to the largest academy event ever held
outside North America. He urged nonmembers to join the AO family, benefit from membership and support the
growth of the academy into the foremost
international dental implant organization in existence.
The morning was given over to the international speakers, with Dr. Michael
Norton, London, AO vice president and
chair of the Global Program Development Committee, followed by Dr. Jacobs,
presenting the first two lectures on immediate implant placement, including
options of managing the immediate provisionalization of adjacent anterior teeth.
After a short break, Professor Tara
Aghaloo, Los Angeles, AO board member,
delivered her lecture on “Alveolar Bone
Regeneration and Tissue Engineering.”
These first three lectures were assisted by
simultaneous translation into Japanese.
A traditional Japanese lunch was followed by six short lectures by some of
the most prominent Japanese members,
in Japanese, with the subject matter including inter-implant soft-tissue management, three-dimensional site development, sinus augmentation and photo
functionalization. The speakers were Drs.
Takahiro Ogawa, Los Angeles; Hideaki
Katsuyama, Yokohama, Japan; Tadakazu
Obama, Eiji Funakoshi, Fukuoka, Japan;
Yoshinori Nameta, Tokyo; Seiichiro Kinjo, Okinawa, Japan; Akiyoshi Funato, Ishikawa, Japan; and Masana Suzuki.
The meeting closed with Dr. Norton
thanking Dr. Sumi and inviting everyone
to meet again in San Diego for the AO Annual Meeting in February.

OsseoSpeed Profile EV: Offering 360-degree bone
preservation, even in sloped ridge situations
By DENTSPLY Implants Staff
I
When a standard implant is placed level
with the lingual bone, the implant neck is
exposed buccally, compromising soft-tissue
esthetics.
AD
When a standard implant is placed level
with the buccal bone, unsupported lingual
marginal bone is lost.
OsseoSpeed Profile EV is placed level with
both buccal and lingual marginal bone,
preserving soft-tissue esthetics and helping
reduce the need for bone augmentation.
t is well-documented that crestal
bone resorbs after tooth extraction or tooth loss.
Often resorption is pronounced
on the buccal side, resulting in a
lingual-to-buccal sloped ridge.
This situation occurs even if a standard implant is immediately placed in
the extraction socket. Because bone-toimplant support is three-dimensional,
it is important to have marginal bone
support around the entire implant.
Preserving the buccal and lingual
marginal bone in a sloped ridge situation will also positively influence mesial and distal marginal bone levels,
which optimizes soft-tissue esthetics.
The OsseoSpeed Profile EV is a
unique* implant specially designed to
follow the existing bone in sloped ridge
situations, maintaining soft-tissue esthetics and helping to reduce the need
for bone augmentation, DENTSPLY asserts.
Simplicity and accuracy
throughout your workflow
The OsseoSpeed Profile EV offers:
• Flexibility through a wide range of
implant options: Available in straight
and conical implant designs, 8–17 mm.
• Simplicity of an one-position-only*
placement of all indexed components:
The unique one-position-only placement for ATLANTIS patient-specific
abutments and indexed prefabricated
abutments makes the entire treatment
procedure simple and predictable,
from implant placement to the connection of the final abutment.
• Self-guiding* impression components for an accurate and predictable
workflow: This design provides a timeefficient installation procedure and a
predictable workflow between the clinician and dental technician.
• Supported by a full range of digital
solutions: Digital solutions are available from the planning to the final
restoration, offering the possibility
of working with a completely digital
workflow.

about the
new implant
system
M
icrodent Implant System
will participate in the
AAID’s Annual Education
Conference as part of its
continuing presence in the most prominent scientific congresses on implantology in the world.
The Caesars Palace in Las Vegas will be
the site of the conference from Oct. 21-24
and will offer a scientific program that
will cover topics such as “New Trends,
Techniques and Technology in Oral Implantology.”
The scientific program includes star
speakers, such as Dr. Jaime Lozada, director of implant dentistry at Loma Linda
University and advisor to Microdent, who
on Oct. 22 will offer a lecture, titled “3D
Printing Technology in Implantology.”
The course will discuss innovative techniques in 3-D printing for fabrication
of anatomical models, surgical templates
and future applications.
In addition and under the motto “Classical Principles that Support Innovation in
Oral Implantology,” Microdent will show
its new Ektos Implant System at booth No.
422 of the exhibit hall.
The Ektos’ hexagon-shaped universal
internal connection prevents rotational
movement and creates a coupling area
between implant and prosthetics for the
most effective connection sealing, according to the company. The implant design
maintains Microdent’s characteristic external thread, renowned for its great primary stability.
Microdent is expanding its international reach through a strategic plan based
on aggressive branding, continuing education and professional training courses
to show the quality of its products.
Microdent developed the first atraumatic bone expansor for placing implants, the sinus membrane-lifting device
Cortical Fix, and now the Ektos Implant
System, and you can see it all at for yourself at booth, No. 422, at AAID.
