Dental Tribune U.S. Edition

The American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP) joined with its affiliates, Atlantic Dental Implant Seminars (ADIS) and the Linkow Implant Institute, to present a five- day comprehensive implant training program in Montego Bay, Jamaica, for 10 dentists from Kazakhstan. The course, held August 4–8, included two days of lectures and three days of clinical patient treatment. Taught at Cornwall Regional Hospital, the course was the fourth cooperative effort of the Jamaican Ministry of Health and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics. Under the direction of Dr. Mike Shulman, the students placed 37 implants and performed 10 sinus lifts. Prosthodontic treatment of the patients will be performed at sub- sequent implant courses in Jamaica sponsored by the AAIP and ADIS. American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics membership certifi- cates were presented to the course participants. Dr. Anara Zhumadilo- va, director of the Department of Dental Therapy and Oral Surgery at Astana Medical University, Kazakh- stan, received her AAIP mastership certificate and medallion. Dr. Mike Shulman is course coor- dinator, Dr. Leonard I. Linkowis course director and Dr. Sheldon Winkler is course advisor for AAIP/ ADIS-sponsored programs in Mon- tego Bay and Kingston, Jamaica. DT AD People from around the world flock to the annual Greater New York Dental Meeting (GNYDM) — held this year Nov. 27–30 — for rea- sons that go well beyond the fact that there is no registration fee. New York city is a delight at this time of year, offering lots of options outside the convention center. Dental Tribune, the official media partner of the GNYDM, has joined forces with GNYDM orga- nizers to offer four days of Dental Tribune Study Club (DTSC) Sym- posia in various areas of dentistry. Participants not only earn C.E. credits, but also have the oppor- tunity to learn diverse aspects of dentistry and how to integrate a variety of treatment options into their practice. For exact program details, please check the schedule at www.dtstudy club.com/gnydm. Be sure to pre- register as a GNYDM visitor for free at www.gnydm.com.
