events_ CIC 2013 I I 07implants1_2013 _On 17th and 18th May 2013, Healthcare Learn- ing; Smile-on will be presenting the 10th Clinical In- novations Confer- ence, in conjunc- tion with The Dental Directory and the AOG. The widely anticipated event will be held in the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in Kensington, London, attracting hundreds of dental professionals in their quest to remain abreast of the very latest developments in the industry. A selection of world-class speakers has been confirmed to attend this year’s event, taking delegates to the very cut- ting-edge of the profession. One of these is Dr Shakeel Shahdad (pictured). Dr Shahdad is a registered spe- cialist in Restorative Dentistry, Periodon- tics, Prosthodontics and Endodontics, as well as a consultant and Honorary Clini- cal Senior Lecturer in Restorative Den- tistry at The Royal London Dental Hos- pital and Queen Mary University, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Dr Shahdad will be speaking on behalf of Straumann at the event, discussing “Beauty or the Beast? Tissue-level im- plants in aesthetic zone”. “Osseo-integration of implants has become a well established technique, and the focus is now on achieving ideal aesthetics,” explains Dr Shahdad. “Long- term maintenance of soft tissue aesthet- ics around implants is a challenge, and we are only now coming to understand it better. Factors that influence peri- implant bone remodelling and timing of implant placement have a profound af- fect on labial bone maintenance. “My presentation at CIC 2013 will be based on current research findings, and will aim to demonstrate and highlight the important surgical and restorative dimensions for predictably achieving and maintaining aesthetically optimised implant restorations. Emphasis will be placed on integration of biological prin- ciples into planning and decision-mak- ing in aesthetic implant dentistry. I will also present the arguments for Tissue or Bone level, Immediate or Delayed place- ment.”_ SpeakerAnnouncedfor ClinicalInnovationsConference2013 17th and 18th May 2013, Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London implants For more information about Clinical Innovations Conference 2013 and to book your place call 020 7400 8989, email info@healthcare-learning.com or go to www.clinicalinnovations.co.uk _contact
