B2 F ROM PAGE 1 Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2017 Dr. Arturo Llobell aims to help young clinicians avoid surprises in implant dentistry By Sierra Rendon, Managing Editor Implant Tribune recently sat down with AO 2017 Annual Meeting pre- senter Dr. Arturo Llobell, a clinician known to thrive in fast-paced envi- ronments. He’s a renowned and practic- ing periodontist and prosthodontist, as well as a national race car champion. We asked Dr. Llobell to preview the “Young Clinicians’ Series,” where he will set a clear “roadbook” for predictability when facing complex full arch implant reha- bilitations. What is the purpose/goal of this session? The session will give a through and through vision on an array of important steps involved in today’s full arch reha- bilitations, while contemplating differ- ent treatment options and sequences re- lated to both prosthodontics and surgery aimed to achieve predictable esthetic and functional outcomes. What topics will be covered? The lecture will have an interdisciplin- ary focus based on treatment planning and execution, involving both surgical and prosthodontic aspects related to im- “ ORLANDO, Page B1 Worklow for Planning and Treatment.” These sessions will be illed with recog- nized and some underexposed experts. On Friday evening, Dr. Alan Pollack will host the president’s reception, which is complimentary to all attendees and reg- istered guests. This event promises to of- fer an exciting and fun-illed evening at the Latin-themed Mango’s Tropical Café. Transportation will be provided for this premier social event that you won’t want to miss. The main Saturday program will return to the “Good to Great” refrain as well, looking toward future advances in all as- pects of the ield. An underlying theme will be to leverage the multidisciplinary approach of AO with the multi-specialty sponsorship of this meeting throughout the day. Topics will include new technologies, short implants, imaging, digital planning and guided treatment, socket manage- ment and site redevelopment. The multi- disciplinary approach will be particularly evident in the afternoon team presenta- tions, where internationally renowned groups from the United States, Venezuela and Australia will illustrate their evalua- tion and treatment methods to elegantly tackle dificult patient problems. Saturday, March 18, will also offer full- day programs for both Allied Staff Pro- fessionals and Dental Laboratory Tech- Photo/Provided by the AO plant dentistry. The surgical portion will involve different approaches and keys to success in guided bone regeneration and bone resection, while debating the im- portance of implant selection and plan- ning in guided surgery and immediate load protocols. The prosthodontic por- tion will discuss the beneits and limi- tations related to different prosthetic designs and material selection, involving new technologies such as the facial scan or contemporary CAD/CAM protocols. Why is it important for young clinicians to attend? During the session, I will also show tips that I’ve learned during my training as well as those that I now try to teach ” See YOUNG, page B3 Patient Experience with Ideal Team Inter- action.” This panel will be composed of a surgeon, restorative dentist, laboratory technician and industry representatives including manufacturers and inancing, who will provide their input on creating great patient experiences in implant den- tistry. Lastly, be sure to experience a one- on-one learning environment with our invited clinicians in the personalized atmosphere of our Lunch and Learn sessions on Saturday. This will be your chance to get up close and personal with current and future leaders, putting indi- vidual topics and cases under the micro- scope. The program committee has worked hard to provide an innovative, balanced, fascinating program that will be clini- cally relevant. I believe we have a fantastic blend of “veteran” speakers with undiscovered rising stars covering both traditional subjects as well as new topics that will de- mand our consideration as we head into this next era of dental implant therapy. AO’s 2017 Annual Meeting will be held March 15–18 at the Orange County Con- vention Center. For more information, please visit the AO website at www.osseo. org.
