No mat- ter if you are a general practitioner or a specialist, a hygienist or an office manager, there is a lecture or work- shop you can benefit from. And you can put your newfound skill to work just as soon as you get back to your practice. In one of the many educational highlights here at the Boston Con- vention and Exhibition Center on Thursday, Dr. Charles Schlesinger presented “The Advantage of Osseous Fixation,” a lecture and live surgery. Attendees learned about osseous fixa- tions and how implants can change the way they practice dentistry. Also Thursday, “Interprofessional Symposium: Complete Health Den- tistry,” a new offering this year, fea- tured an expert panel of physicians discussing management of patients with medical issues that dental pro- fessionals may encounter in daily practice. 5 Dr. Charles Schlesinger places a dental implant Thursday morning during a lecture and live surgery on the exhibit hall floor.
