Immediate Placement of Wide Diameter Implants (7-9 mm) in Molar Extraction Sockets
Andrew Ackermann, BChD, MChD
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) identify the indications and risk factors for immediate placement of wide diameter implants in molar sockets; 2) conceptualize the surgical protocol for implant placement in the molar socket; and 3) describe the restorative protocol associated with this indication for implant therapy.

Distraction Osteogenesis Versus Angled Placement of Implants
Marianela Gonzalez, DDS, MS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) describe the difference between placement of tilted implants in a distraction ostegenesis site to bone graft; 2) identify the benefits of the use of tilted implants in a severely resorbed mandible; and 3) discuss the benefits of the use of tilted implants for mandibular reconstruction after tumor resection.
RT-6
Image Guided Surgery - Producing an Esthetic Result
Michael L. Ellis, DDS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) demonstrate a working knowledge of imaging techniques historically utilized for implant placement; 2) discuss the basis for image-guided surgery to enhanced dental esthetics; and 3) make an informed decision regarding the level of imaging indicated for individual implant case types.
RT-7
Ridge and Sinus Augmentation Using rhBMP-2 Versus GBR for Implant Placement
Sascha A. Jovanovic, DDS, MS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) describe the physiology of bone regeneration using rhBMP-2; 2) identify the clinical indications of recombinant bone morphogenic proteins; and 3) apply a new bone grafting technique to the clinical practice.
RT-8
Decision Criteria - Fixed Versus Removable Implant Prostheses
Joseph R. Carpentieri, DDS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) describe the evolution of implant options which have led to a great deal of confusion; 2) identify factors needed to consider the number of implants, the surgical goals of implant placement and position and when and where to utilize splinted and unsplinted designs for implant overdentures; 3) differentiate treatments in the mandibular vs. maxillary arch; and 4) discuss long-term predictability, patient satisfaction and maintenance considerations.
RT-9
Occlusal Complications on Implant Restorations
Gary S. Solnit, DDS, MS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) review long-term complications with implant restorations including materials failure and tooth positional changes; 2) identify simple, practical techniques for handling restorative complications; and 3) describe the potential complications, treatment planning and complex restorations that will last several years.
RT-10
Restoration of Immediately Placed Implants in Three Appointments -
From Surgical Placement to Definitive Prostheses
Carlo Ercoli, DDS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) immediately load the implants with a provisional fixed complete denture at the time of implant placement; 2) record the relative positions of the implants and soft tissues, the occlusal vertical dimension, maxilla-mandibular relationship, and tooth position at the second appointment; and 3) insert the definitive prosthesis at the third appointment.
RT-11
Piezoelectric Surgery for Implant Site Development - Assessing the Value and Clinical Usage in 2010 and Beyond
Jeffery R. Thomas, DDS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) provide participants a straightforward cost-benefit analysis for decision making regarding purchase and/or use of piezoelectric technology; 2) describe clinical procedures and supporting evidence of piezoelectric implant site development, plus proper armamentarium, risks and 'reality' for each procedure; and 3) provide participants with innovative ideas to help broaden their use of piezoelectric surgery for implant site development.

Developing a Scientific Paper from Concept To Publication
(complimentary to the first 30 registrants)
Steven E. Eckert, DDS, MS
Objectives:
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to 1) understand the structure of a scientific paper and 2) understand sample size. This presentation will explain the reasons for many of the requests made by editors when revisions are needed.
