It clearly shows that the AO and its foundation are committed to supporting innovative research ideas especially in the ield of implantology,” said Dr. Wang, collegiate professor of periodontics, and professor and director of graduate periodontics, in the depart- ment of periodontics and oral medicine at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and a diplomate of the Ameri- can Board of Periodontology. “The grant will be used to help support our team’s research to understand if soft- tissue biotype plays a role in inluencing implant marginal bone loss. The grant will also help us to further support the AO’s mission: dedication to the highest standards in patient care, research and education.” The 2015-2016 OF Research Grant re- cipients presented their indings at AO’s 2016 Annual Meeting and are expected to submit manuscripts to the Interna- tional Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants (JOMI) later this year. A call for applications for the 2017-2018 OF Research Grants will be announced this fall. Follow AO on Facebook and Twit- ter to stay informed. With 6,000 members in 70 countries around the world, the AO is recognized as a premier international association for professionals interested in implant den- tistry. AAID releases comprehensive implant dentistry benchmarking study By AAID Staff T he American Academy of Implant Dentistry recently announced the release of the irst benchmarking study for the implant dentistry practice in the United States. This comprehensive resource pro- vides dental professionals with criti- cal information and statistics about the implant dentistry ield. The AAID Benchmarking Study helps dentists better understand trends related to: • Stafing models, compensation and beneits • Overall practice performance in terms of revenue and expenses • Procedures and fees • Effective marketing techniques used to drive business The AAID retained McKinley Advi- sors, a highly regarded research and consulting irm, to develop the ques- tions, collect and compile the data, and provide insights based on years of experience in analyzing research data. Nearly 600 dentists completed the online survey during late summer and early fall, 2015. Respondents in- cluded both AAID members and non- members. Some of the key indings were pub- lished in the Spring 2016 issue of the AAID News. Here’s a sampling: • 57 percent of implant dentists re- ported that implant dentistry repre- sents less than 25 percent of the gross receipts of the practice. Another 25 percent said it represented between 26 percent and 50 percent. • 75 percent practice both surgical and restorative phases of implant den- tistry • 42 percent reported total receipts in the practice of less than $1 million The AAID study is an essential tool for all implant dentistry profession- als. With it, practicing implant dental professionals can benchmark practice performance against peer practices of similar size and focus, and against the broader ield as a whole. Participants in the study received a free copy of the full report. The full 68-page report can be purchased from AAID for $245 to $295 for members of the AAID and $345 for non-members.
