DENTAL TRIBUNE The World’s Dental Newspaper · US EditionBahamas is site of implant training and conference By Paradise Dental Institute Staff Nassau, Bahamas-based Paradise Den- tal Institute formally launches this July with a live-surgery implant training course followed by a working conference. The working conference, “Summers in Paradise,” which the institute intends to hold annually, will be from July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Atlantis Resort and Casino. Themed “Navigating the Past, Sailing to the Future,” the conference will explore the exciting but challenging world of im- plant dentistry. The institute will feature its faculty members as speakers (“cap- tains”) and also have guest speakers, with sessions ranging from an introduction to single-tooth implants to full-mouth re- construction surgery and prosthetics. The speakers will navigate traditional, sound surgical practices of the past and sail to guided treatment planning and surgery, which are both the present and future of dentistry. The three-day working conference will help dentists improve their ability to diagnose, treatment plan, perform sur- gery, manage post-surgery needs (in- cluding potential complications) and deliver a final prosthesis. The interactive sessions will provide dental profession- als — whether new or experienced with implant dentistry — with a deeper under- standing of the “when, why and how.” Following is the conference schedule: • July 30: “Introduction to Implants and Soft-Tissue Grafting” with speakers Dr. Rick Ferguson and Dr. Avi Schetritt. • July 31: “Predictable Impression Tak- ing and Temporization” with speaker Dr. Stace Lind. • July 31, 6–9 p.m.: “Official Launch Par- ty” (all-white attire on the beach). • Aug. 1: “Guided and Non-Guided Full-Mouth Reconstruction — Implant- Supported Zirconia Bridge Surgery and Prosthetic Parameters for Success” with speaker Dr. Michael Tischler and “Max- illary Arch Regenerative Strategies — Single-Tooth to Full-Arch Reconstruc- tion” with speaker Dr. Michael Pikos. Each day will include continental breakfast from 7–8 a.m. Lectures will be from 8 a.m.–1 p.m., with breaks in be- tween. Lunch and exhibit-only hours will be from 1–3 p.m., with a live calypso band, local and American cuisine and a happy hour with the exhibitors. After 3 p.m., guests can continue with happy hour or explore Atlantis. Friday night is the offi- cial launch with an all-white-attire beach party and cultural entertainment. Bringing families is encouraged. At- lantis has something for everyone, and the group rate ($226 per night, including spouses and children) is available three days before and after the conference. The institute and the summer confer- ence are the brainchild of founder and The Summers in Paradise conference will be at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas this summer. The conference is being presented by Paradise Dental Institute, with details available at www.paradisedentalinstitute.com.

The faculty comprises oral surgeons, American Board of Oral Implantology- certified dentists, hygienists, lab techni- cians, surgical assistants and office man- agers.
