events Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | February 2016 C8 AD Symposium speakers to showcase latest in bone-grafting techniques, research By Osteogenics Biomedical Staff O steogenics Biomedical an- nounces the Osteogenics Global Bone Grafting Sym- posium 2016, unique for its focus on dental bone grafting and treat- ment planning, to be held March 31– April 2 at the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz. The symposium will feature presen- tations by world-renowned speakers, interactive treatment planning ses- sions with an expert panel, and option- al hands-on workshops. Speakers include Dr. Michael Pikos, Dr. Sascha Jovanovic, Dr. Thomas Wil- son, Dr. Gustavo Avila-Ortiz, Dr. Eiji Fu- nakoshi, Dr. Maurice Salama, Dr. Melle Vroom, Dr. Istvan Urban, Dr. Kirk Pas- quinelli, Dr. Pier Gallo and Dr. Daniel Cullum. The 2016 event will mark the seventh Osteogenics Global Bone Grafting sym- posium. Since 2008, the symposium has grown from 45 attendees from the United States to a sold-out 500 attend- ees from 15 countries and 44 of the 50 states in 2014. Strategically capped at 500, this year’s event is expected to sell out again. “I felt that the caliber of presenta- tions — from the quality of the images, videos and statistical analyses, to the patient manner each presenter shared materials and fielded questions — was among the finest I have enjoyed in my 28 years as a periodontist,” said Dr. Lloyd Nattkemper about the 2014 sym- posium. “The quality of the presenters, without exception, was in my opinion, the finest available in the world.” On April 1 and 2, the symposium will feature main-podium lectures and in- teractive treatment-planning sessions. Optional hands-on workshops will be offered on Thursday, March 31. Workshop topics include advanced hard- and soft-tissue regenerative tech- niques in implant therapy, socket graft- ing and guided bone regeneration in various single-tooth implant scenarios and state of the ridge expansion tech- niques. “I like the great selection of speakers. The quality of the materials as well as the clinical results are very impressive, but at the same time with options to ap- ply the techniques to our practice,” said Dr. Bernardo Villela. “I would recommend this course to periodontists, oral surgeons and gener- al practitioners who have been involved in implantology.” The Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch is an ideal location due to Scottdale’s enjoyable spring weather and breathtaking views. Explore the endless wonders of the 27-acre prop- erty set amidst the majestic McDowell Mountains. Enjoy breathtaking vistas blended with intriguing Native American cul- ture and amenities, including champi- onship golf, Spa Avania, a 2.5 acre water playground, tennis and Camp Hyatt Kachina.
