AAID: Botox,
fillers can
maximize
cosmetic
outcomes
For many dental implant patients,
restoring facial volume can be as
critical as the dental restoration for
optimizing cosmetic outcomes.
In a workshop at the American
Academy of Implant Dentistry Annual Scientific Meeting, Pankaj Singh,
DDS, urged attendees to pay close
attention to facial structures and consider using Botox and dermal filler
agents for patients who need facial
volume restorations.
“Besides creating beautiful smiles,
we like to create harmony between
the dento-facial complex by addressing the deep lines and wrinkles in
the face that can prevent our patients
from looking their best,” Singh said.
“Soft tissues that ring the mouth are
as important as perfectly restored
teeth for an attractive and confident
smile.”
Botox is a natural and purified
protein that relaxes facial muscles by
blocking nerve impulses. Once the

American Academy of Implant Dentistry’s longevity,
legacy recognized at annual meeting in Las Vegas
By Sierra Rendon, Dental Tribune
What better city than Las Vegas
to celebrate a major milestone?
In October, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID)
commemorated the 60th anniversary of dental implants during its
annual scientific meeting at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Most AAID conference attendees
were not around in 1951. At the
time, dental implants had, at best,
a dubious reputation among most
dental professionals. What a difference 60 years makes, as implants
are now the preferred choice for
replacing missing teeth.
“What I believe is most compelling about AAID’s history is the courage and confidence shown by the
founders who stepped out of comfort zones and went against their
professional societies to promote
dental implant training and establish the AAID implant credentialing program,” said AAID President
Joseph Orrico, DDS. “Today, the
AAID credential is the most rigorous and respected implant training
program in the world, and without
the vision and fortitude of our founders, implant dentistry would not be a
mainstream procedure in dentistry.”
AAID’s goal at the meeting was to
“Stack the Deck in Your Favor” with
sessions aimed to give attendees
the most success in their clinical
endeavors. For instance, in one session, Dr. Jack Hahn offered “Tips
and Tricks for Single Tooth and
Partially Edentulous Replacements.”
Additionally, Hahn spoke on
“Implants for Immediate Function —
Fact or Fiction” at a separate session.
“The benefit of immediate function for patients is they leave with
stable teeth at the first surgical
appointment,” Hahn said. “From
a practice marketing perspective,
it creates a ‘wow’ effect that can
generate more referrals. Implicag IT page 2B

tions for patients considering dental
implants are significant because of
the time-saving convenience, lower
cost and ability for patients to eat
and chew normally immediately following the procedure.”
Hahn said newer dental implants
designed with tapered aggressive
threads and rough surfaces are simple to place and offer more convenient restorative options. He added
that advances in imaging technologies also have made immediate load
implants more predictable.
“With cone-beam radiography
and computerized treatment planning, we can predetermine implant
positioning according to the desired
prosthesis and bone quality,” Hahn
explained.
Other main podium presentations
included “Risk Assessment in the
Esthetic Zone” with Dr. Andre Saadoun and “Soft-Tissue Esthetics and

patients feel little, if any, discomfort

For older dental implant patients

mouth begin to turn down and wrinkles appear around the lips. “Botox

successful and satisfying outcomes,”

causes facial lines to appear,” Singh
explained.
He added that it takes about two
weeks for dermal filler agents to show
results, and some patients experience
side effects, such as localized pain,
infection, bleeding, swelling, redness,
bruising and tenderness in and near

repeated periodically to maintain the

in North America now provide Botox

allow dentists to use the agents for

“Facial volume restoration is the
future for achieving optimal esthetic

AAID pioneers
blazed a
controversial
and lonely trail
Sixty years ago, a small cadre
of dental pioneers braved a firestorm of professional criticism
and met in Chicago to share ideas
to stimulate research and training in implant dentistry. This was
the beginning of the practice of
implant dentistry and paved the
way for eventual public and professional acceptance of the procedure. That meeting led to another
meeting held Feb. 4, 1952, also in
Chicago, with 14 dentists and four
laboratory technicians.
It was the inaugural conclave
of the American Academy of
Implant Dentures, which today
is AAID.
In the 1950s, very few dentists were performing implants
and the nation’s dentals schools
refused to teach the procedure.
“Implant dentistry had no respect,
and when we started doing
implants, it was kind of a mentor
system. You tried something out,
and if it worked, you told your
friends and they did it or they’d
come to your office to watch you
do a procedure,” recalled Norman
Goldberg, DDS, a spry nonagenarian who served as AAID’s first
president.
“We had enough people
involved in implants after the first
teaching and decided it was too
important to go without further
development. So we decided to
form an academy to discuss the
different problems that come up
with implants and provide forums
for everybody to learn from everybody else,” Goldberg said.
Today, the persistent work
and advocacy of the AAID pioneers helped create interest and
escalating demand for dental
implants.

to that, MIS will honor him during
a cocktail reception on Nov. 13
