Photo/ www.freeimages.com Record 28 hands-on workshops and 11 seminars planned for annual educational conference By A AID Staff The dental implant world is join- ing the American Academy of Implant Dentistry in San Diego at AAID’s 66th Annual Educa- tional Conference, Oct. 11–14. More than 1,000 implant dentistry professionals are expected to travel from around the world to learn from the top experts in implant dentistry, as well as from each other, over three- and one-half days. A full day of presentations by clini- cians from a dozen different countries will comprise AAID’s Leonard Linkow Memorial Global Symposium on Friday, Oct. 13. A record 28 hands-on workshops and 11 limited attendance seminars will supple- ment 20 hours of main podium presen- tations. An outstanding program for the dental office team has been planned and will include eight different presenters over two days. AAID’s conferences are known for the broadcast of live surgery with simulta- neous commentary from the surgeon, as well as the opportunity for attendees to ask questions during the procedure. This year is no exception as two surgeries will be presented on Thursday, Oct. 12 — one performed at the University of Nevada Las Vegas in the morning and another from Loma Linda University in the after- noon. A full-day implant placement and bone-grafting course on cadavers is of- fered along with a full day track on seda- tion, both on Friday, Oct. 13. “Practical education for the practicing implant dentist®” is not just a catchy slo- gan. It is the brand promise of the AAID’s educational offerings. You will learn through didactic and hands-on sessions and, just as valuable, through the inter- action with peers in the halls, visiting more than 130 vendors at the Implant World Expo and at the social events dur- ing the conference. The AAID encourages you to bring home what you learn and put it to use immediately in your practice. AAOMS to host its 99th annual meeting in San Francisco By A AOMS Staff The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) will host its 99th Annual Meeting, Scientific Sessions and Exhibition — one of the largest and most compre- hensive educational conferences in the world developed exclusively for oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their staff — from Oct. 9–14 in San Francisco. Approximately 4,000 doctors and other attendees will convene to learn and share innovations in clini- cal research, procedures and prac- tice to ultimately improve patient outcomes. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their dental colleagues can gain expertise from attending sessions presented by renowned re- searchers and clinicians on topics ranging from sleep apnea treatment and management of gunshot wound injuries to replacement of the tem- poromandibular joint and the evo- lution of cleft lip and palate surgery. Covering the entire breadth of the specialty, the 26-plus hours of scientific and educational sessions are divided into more than 15 com- prehensive curriculum tracks focus- ing on trauma management, recon- struction, corrective jaw surgery and more. Highlights of the more than 110 educational sessions include: • The popular preconference pro- gram will focus on office-based anes- thesia, and the Anesthesia Assistant Skills Labs will provide hands-on clinical training to assist with anes- thesia administration. • With breakout sessions for further discussion, a Dental Implant Module will cover historical perspectives and state-of-the-art treatments, and a TMJ Module will discuss diagnosis and non- surgical and surgical therapies for the temporomandibular joint – the most constantly used joint in the body. • The Chalmers J. Lyons Memorial Lec- ture will explain “The Hidden Costs of Antibiotics,” including their unintend- ed consequences and role in contribut- ing to modern plagues. • New this year, two cadaver work- shops about pathology and cosmetic facial surgery at the University of the Pacific’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry will allow participants to per- form procedures under faculty super- vision. • A two-day “Beyond the Basics” cod- ing workshop will provide crucial infor- mation on issues such as health-care laws, reimbursement issues and com- pliance. “The AAOMS Annual Meeting is de- signed to be the most extensive educa- tional program and exhibition for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, faculty, residents and professional staff,” said AAOMS President Douglas W. Fain, DDS, MD, FACS. “We have planned four days of stimulating courses and intriguing exhibits that will benefit doctors, their staff and their practices. We look for- ward to numerous opportunities for learning, innovation and networking.” More than 200 vendors will display their products and services to benefit oral and maxillofacial surgery prac- tices at the three-day exhibit hall at the Moscone Convention Center South.
