HW6: Vertical Ridge Augmentation (Hands-On Workshop)


1–5 p.m. Program Track: Regeneration/Tissue Engineering Speaker: Istvan Urban


Cost: $750; limited attendance.


Vertical augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges of bone regeneration in implant dentistry. Reconstruction of the anterior maxilla, as well as the posterior areas, will be discussed in detail. Review of the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth, in addition to lingual flap management during posterior mandibular surgery, will be presented. Diagnosis and management of post-operative complications will also be addressed. During this session, several high- definition surgical videos will support the understanding of these demanding surgical procedures.


Educational Objectives:


• Apply indications, patient selection, and treatment alternatives for vertical augmentation.


• Identify a comprehensive approach for the anterior maxillary vertical defect.


• Review the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth, and the successful surgical technique of the posterior mandible.


HW8: Minimally Invasive Flap Technique for Regeneration (Hands-On Workshop)


1–5 p.m.


Program Track: Treatment of Inflammatory Periodontal Diseases


Speaker: Pierpaolo Cortellini Cost: $1,150; limited attendance.


A growing demand for more friendly, patient-oriented surgery has prompted periodontists to focus their interest in the development of less invasive approaches. Radical changes to reduce invasivity have been developed through the application of surgical procedures in medicine and in dentistry. The minimally invasive surgical technique involves procedures that can be applied for the treatment of shallow and deep intrabony defects (up to the apical third


of the root surface). This course will include two different minimally invasive techniques: 1. Procedures that include the elevation of a tiny buccal flap as well as the elevation of the interdental papilla and of the palatal flap; and 2. Techniques that are limited to the elevation of the buccal flap.


Please note, each participant will need to bring a magnification device/loupe with independent light source (2.5X to 5X).


Educational Objectives:


• Explore how to design the minimally invasive flap according to the soft tissue and defect anatomy.


• Choose the regenerative material(s) that will ideally combine with the selected flap design.


• Evaluate how to select the suturing material and technique for stable primary closure of the wound.


Corporate Forum 1–4:45 p.m.


Join the AAP’s corporate sponsors at the 2017 Corporate Forum. All Annual Meeting attendees are welcome to attend. More information can be found on pages 22-30.


ABP2: American Board Review Part 2 1–4 p.m. Program Track: Practice Development and Management Moderator: Kent G. Palcanis Speakers: Ramzi V. Abou-Arraj and Jennifer Bain


The main focus of this session is to shed light on what to expect—and how to approach—the oral portion of the American Board exam. The speakers will share personal experiences and provide guidance in approaching the examination. All areas of testing and exam mechanics will be presented and discussed.


Educational Objectives: • Examine resources available to prepare for the oral exam.


• Assess methods on how to use clinical judgment to evaluate Board case protocols.


• Learn how to deal with the various pressures in the certification process.
