About the Academy of Osseointegration With 6,000 members in 70 countries around the world, the AO is recog- nized as a premier international asso- ciation for professionals interested in implant dentistry. AO serves as a nex- us where specialists and generalists can come together to evaluate emerg- ing research, technology and tech- niques; share the best information; and coordinate optimal patient care using timely, evidence-based science and methods. Follow AO on Face- book, Twitter and LinkedIn and use #AOOrlando for meeting news. clinicians should consider for each specific patient, including: What is the maxillary/mandibular ridge relationship? What is the quality and quantity of available hard and soft tissue? Can the patient maintain adequate oral hygiene? Do habits or disease put this patient in an at-risk category? “Management of the edentulous maxilla cannot be one size fits all,” said AO Board Member Tara L. Aghaloo, DDS, MD, PhD, professor and assistant dean for clinical research, division of diagnostic and surgical services, University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry. “That’s why clinical practice guidelines are so important for dentistry, especially implant dentistry. Some treatment options require advanced training and skill, and should not be performed by less experienced clinicians, at least not without the proper training. “The future is extremely bright for the management of the edentulous maxilla, whether it is severely atrophic or not,” Aghaloo added. “It is apparent that technology will continue to improve, resulting in implants that can be loaded sooner and used in more compromised sites.” For more information, visit the Academy of Osseointegration on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
