BONE GRAFTING -THE CHOICES

Blake Nicolucci DDS, London, Ontario

Dr. Nicolucci is an Associate Clinical Professor in Implantology at Temple University in Philadelphia. He is President of the Canadian Society of Oral Implantology, Implant Editor of Oral Health and lectures both nationally and internationally. He is on the Faculty of the Misch Implant Institute in Toronto, and the Canadian Dental Implant institute of Quebec.

“The loss of bone from infection, or iatrogenically from extraction, can leave the restorative dentist with very few prosthetic choices unless bone augmentation is part of the rehabilitation treatment planning. This lecture will

introduce some very successful techniques to regain lost bone. This programme will discuss the needs and protocols for successful bone grafting prior to prosthetic care.”

PERIODONTIST AND IMPLANT SURGEON -A NEW PERSONALITY DISORDER?

Peter Birek DDS, Toronto, Ontario

Dr. Birek is an Associate Professor in the Department of Periodontics and staff surgeon with the Implant Prosthodontic Unit at the University of Toronto. He maintains a private practice in Periodontics and Implant Surgery.

” The introduction and the wider usage of dental implants lead to a paradigm shift in treatment planning. Heroic periodontal treatments and the use of dental implants with abandon are two extremes that seem to collide and lead to uncertainty in treatment planning. Can they coexist? This presentation will allow participants to reconcile seemingly colliding treatmentplanning principles and apply them daily.”

TEETH, TRAUMA AND RECONSTRUCTION

Bruce Pynn DDS, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Dr. Pynnisstafforalandmaxillofacialsurgeonat theThunderBayRegionalHealthSciencesCenter, AdjunctProfessor, Department of Public Health, Lakehead University and maintains a private practice in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He has published more than 50 papers.

” Proper restoration of facial features and occlusion following severe facial trauma requires cooperation of all the dental disciplines within the community. Completing one of these complex cases often takes two or three years because of the many surgical steps involved, including major bone graft procedures. Several of these trauma cases will be presented to illustrate these steps. The treatment plan in these cases requires extensive consultation with the multidisciplinary dental team to achieve an optimal result. “
