n Welcome to New Orleans! For the
next few days, you will have an opportunity to attend dozens of courses
while earning up to 32 C.E. credits,
taking in an exhibit hall featuring
more than 100 companies and attending a variety of social activities where
you can network and mingle with
friends, colleagues and other dental
professionals from around the country and the world.
This year’s AAMOS Annual Meeting, Scientific Sessions and Exhibition, the 104th, is centered around
the theme “Volunteerism: Individuals
United in Service,” and it’s fitting that
the event is offered both in-person and
online, allowing more professionals to
attend and learn together.
During the meeting, which goes
until Saturday, it’s education that will
take center stage — clinical tracks,
hands-on courses, master classes and
other sessions are all planned.

AAOMS Annual Meeting — Sept. 15–17, 2022
JOMS study: Penicillin allergy testing encouraged
to reduce infection risk in oral surgery patients
n Unsubstantiated, patient-reported
penicillin allergies are a risk factor
for surgical site infections (SSIs) after
oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS),
according to a new study.
The study, published in the January
issue of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery — the official journal
of the American Association of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS)
— suggests that testing patients for
a penicillin allergy before surgery
to clarify decisions about antibiotic
use could result in a reduced risk of
infection.
Beta-lactam antibiotics, such as
penicillin, are considered the most
effective agents in preventing infection after OMS procedures. When
patients report penicillin allergies but
do not have them, they receive other,
less-effective antibiotics before the
procedure, according to the research.
Penicillin allergy is one of the
most common allergies reported by
patients, the study notes. About 10
percent of patients say they have peni-

This year, the annual meeting’s
clinical education features 12 tracks
during the course of two days covering the entire OMS scope of practice: anesthesia, cosmetic, dental
implants, dentoalveolar, head and
neck, orthognathic, OSA, pathology,
pediatrics and cleft, reconstruction,
TMJ and trauma.
Expert speakers will present the
latest research and practice during a
high-level plenary session combined
with breakout sessions. Tracks also
will include oral abstract presenters
and a hot-off-the-press session.
In years past, attendees typically
were able to obtain up to 15 hours of
continuing education when attending
an annual meeting in-person. But this
year, you can more than double that
total, with up to 32 hours available.
Additional credits are available
via the on-demand content, which is
accessible through Dec. 31.
Other highlights include:
• “Volunteerism: Individuals
United in Service Spotlight Session”:
This spotlight session, focused on the
theme of the meeting, will discuss
the value and impact of volunteering.
Members can learn the multitude of
ways to get involved in supporting,
advancing and promoting the specialty and its mission.
• Keynote lecture with Kevin
Brown: Brown, creator of The HERO
Effect, will discuss how his philosophy separates world-class organiza-

cillin hypersensitivity, but 90 percent
of the cases are not actual allergies,
the study cites. Fewer than 1 percent
of patients have true penicillin allergies, according to the CDC.

in patients who report a penicillin
allergy. The alternative to penicillin
is other broad-spectrum antibiotics,
tions and high-performance people
from everyone else. Brown is passionate about helping individuals expand
their vision, reach their potential and
grow their results.
• Saturday education: Among the
more than a dozen morning sessions
are “Disasters from the Masters” and
the “Chalmers J. Lyons Memorial
Lecture: Epidemics Past, Present and
Future.” Starting at 1 p.m., practicing
OMSs and an attorney will use closedcase examples to identify patient
safety and risk management principles during the “Anesthesia Safety
Program.”
Exhibit hall
The 2022 AAOMS Annual Meeting
offers an exhibit hall filled with
specialty-related products and services from 200-plus exhibitors.
Show discounts, dedicated one-onone interactions with vendors and
a chance to explore the latest OMS
practice products and technology
are all on tap as well as “Eat, Drink
and be Industry-Educated” sessions
and “Industry Symposiums” that will
highlight the latest technologies and
innovations for practices.
The exhibit hall is open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to
1 p.m. Saturday. You can also visit the
virtual exhibit hall at AAOMS.org/
AMvxh.
Available 24/7, the virtual exhibit
hall allows attendees to download
informative documents, watch videos
such as clindamycin, which target a
wide range of bacteria and are associated with toxicities and development
of antibiotic resistance.
The study consisted of 2,058
patients, including 318 who reported a
penicillin allergy. Those who reported
a penicillin allergy were more likely
to be prescribed clindamycin while
those who did not report a penicillin
allergy were more likely to be given
beta-lactam antibiotics.
The authors of “Is Penicillin Allergy
a Risk Factor for Surgical Site Infection
After Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?”
are Daniel M. Roistacher, DMD, from
Mount Sinai Health System; Joshua A.
Heller and Nalton F. Ferraro, DMD, MD,
from Harvard School of Dental Medicine; and Meredith August, DMD, MD,
from Massachusetts General Hospital.

‘W&H has been the tool
that I can always count on’
An interview with Dr. Vishtasb ‘Vishy’ Broumand of Desert Ridge Oral Surgery in Scottsdale, Ariz.
By W&H Staff
n Chuck Harper, director of sales &
marketing, oral surgery and implant
surgery, for W&H, recently sat down
with Dr. “Vishy” Broumand of Desert
Ridge Oral Surgery to speak about
the surgical procedures he performs
in his Scottsdale, Ariz., practice;
the tools he feels help him to succeed;
and the zygomatic and pterygoid
cases he’s been treating and teaching at the Desert Ridge Oral Surgery
Institute.
Thank you for giving us this time,
Dr. Broumand.
You’re welcome, and thank you
for sharing information about the
patients we treat.

You’ve been trained by some
recognizable names in oral surgery,
including Dr. Robert Marx, correct?
Yes, I completed my oral surgery
residency at the University of Miami
under Dr. Bob Marx, and after, I continued my training with a fellowship
focused on head and neck tumor and
reconstructive surgery.
I’ve now dedicated my practice to
tackling the more difficult cases that
many clinicians aren’t interested in
treating.
At Desert Ridge Oral Surgery, you
treat many patients with almost
no maxilla. How or why do you get
referred so many patients in this
situation?
Many of these patients have simply
outlived their initial all-on-four treatments. For most of these patients, the
all-on-four was a great surgical and
restorative procedure that lasted 15
to 20 years.
Now, because of many different
factors — including the patient’s home
care — the prosthesis and implants
had to be removed, the peri-implantitis treated, and often the result is
the patient has lost almost all of the
maxillary bone.
In order to help these patients,
I now perform both zygomatic and
pterygoid implant procedures using
specific tools, including W&H’s new
handpiece and a specially designed
retractor.
Have you always used W&H motors
and handpieces?
Yes, I’ve used W&H and other brands
throughout my career … and W&H
has been the tool that I can always
count on. In fact, this year we had
to replace two motors that I’ve been
using to treat patients for almost 20
years. These were basic systems, but
they just kept working — they were
so reliable. Nearly every other tool
or device in my surgical practice has
been replaced two or three times, but
the W&H motors and handpieces have
kept running.
But I know you’ve had handpieces
serviced during that time.
Sure, all handpieces have moving
parts inside, and all handpieces will
require maintenance occasionally. I
appreciate how W&H handles repairs
and how quickly our equipment
returns back to the practice.
I recently welcomed an associate
into the practice, and we had four
older handpieces that went in for
service at the same time. Once the
handpieces were received, W&H sent
us an email with a quotation itemizing everything that needed to be
done. After my team approved the
work, everything was in route back
to us within a day.
It’s impressive to get our repaired
equipment back from W&H so quickly,
Dr. Vishtasb ‘Vishy’ Broumand, Desert Ridge Oral Surgery in
Scottsdale, Ariz.

and it allows our practice to keep running smoothly.
You also use the 1:2 surgical
handpieces from W&H, correct?
Yes, I’ve had the longer nose S-12
handpiece for years. I use it to section
teeth, and it runs like a champ — on
the same motor that I use to place
implants.
I’m looking forward to using the
new S-16 handpiece on patients this
year. I’ve heard great things about
this new handpiece from other surgeons that use it exclusively for
thirds.
It just makes sense to have only
one system in each operatory that can
handle all of the surgical procedures.
We appreciate the reliable, quality
equipment in addition to the variety
of handpieces W&H offers.
What does the future hold for you?
Well, Dr. Kirchhofer will be growing
his practice and providing great care
to the patients he is treating. I will
continue to treat patients but will
also be teaching. A lot of patients are
referred who need extensive work,
including zygomatic and pterygoid
implant surgeries, plus the immediate dentures, and some of these
patients don’t have the ability to pay
$30,000 to $50,000 for the procedure.
So, I will continue to invite clini-

cians to learn through Total Dental
Implant Solutions while giving these
patients an amazing result without
charging them for the care we deliver
during the course.
Together, oral surgeons and the
restorative team can deliver so much
for the patients. It is emotional for
patients to begin surgery with no
teeth and then wake up from sedation with a fixed, 3-D printed prosthesis in their mouth. The patient
responses are dramatic, particularly
for those patients who have been told
by multiple dentists that their only
option is a 4 to 6 mm thick removable
denture. Now, by using zygomatic
and pterygoid implants, along with
our all-digital workflow, we can provide same-day functional and natural
looking teeth for all patients.
It isn’t easy, but it is one of the most
rewarding things I’m blessed to be
able to do.

AAOMS Annual Meeting — Sept. 15–17, 2022
X-Nav achieves a milestone
with its navigation system
By X-Nav Technologies Staff
n More than 150,000 dental implants
have been surgically placed using
X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation — a
system designed to assist dental surgeons in achieving more accurate and
less invasive dental implant results
than freehand surgery.
The announcement was made by
X-Nav Technologies, the company
behind the system. X-Nav is a medical device company that develops
surgical products for the dental market that advance patient care while
improving doctor productivity.
According to the company, the
X-Guide surgical implant navigation
system has been eagerly accepted by
the dental community. Its success can
be attributed to remarkable ease-ofuse and seamless integration into the
fully digital surgical and prosthetic
workflow, the company said.
“We are proud of our customers
for believing this is the best technology for their practice and opting
to offer the capabilities of X-Guide
surgical navigation to their patients,”
said Edward Marandola, president
of X-Nav Technologies. “The significance of this growth shows that not
only does X-Guide surgical navigation
have a place in today’s dental implant
practice, but that the technology is
utilized regularly to improve patient
care.”
The X-Guide system is being used
in more than 40 countries to offer
patients a minimally invasive option
for dental implant surgeries. It is
designed to assist dental surgeons on
a broad range of clinical implant procedures, from a single tooth replacement to full-arch mouth reconstruction.
Dental implants can be navigated
more precisely with the X-Guide system, which plays a key role in the
functional outcome of the procedure,
as well as facilitating more immediate esthetic and restorative success,
according to the company. The benefits of more accurate placement to
both the surgeon and the patient are
profound, the company said.
The X-Guide Dynamic 3D Navigation system allows the surgeon to
digitally plan the ideal treatment and
then provides turn-by-turn guidance
of the handpiece to that target during
live surgery — like GPS for the dental
drill, the company said.
Dentists around the world embrace advanced surgical navigation technology. X-Nav Technologies has received FDA 510(k)
clearance to expand the use of X-Guide surgical navigation for endodontic access procedures, apicoectomies and calcified
canals. (Photos/Provided by X-Nav Technologies)

“It is exciting to see the global
dental community embrace X-Guide
Dynamic 3D Navigation so enthusiastically over the past few years,”
Marandola said. “We look forward to
continuing the momentum by driving
innovative and useful advancements
to the technology that will further
enhance patient care and doctor productivity.”
