The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning and 3D image planning software programs are becoming mainstay to contemporary dental practice and more so in implant dentistry. Utilization of these digital technologies has allowed the dental and surgical teams to plan complex surgeries virtually and has enabled guided tools to assist with the surgical placement of endosteal dental implants. Three types of guided implant surgeries have emerged from 3D imaging and planning technology: physical static guides, stereoscopic camera-based dynamic navigation, and more recently haptic robotic guidance.
Robot-assisted dental surgery combines the advantages of both the physical constraints of static guides and the flexibility of image-based dynamic navigation. The first FDA approved commercially available robotic system for dental implant surgery provides physical (haptic) as well as visual guidance to the surgeon during dental implant surgery. Robotic technology also provides a valuable aid to the dental prosthetic and surgical teams during dental implant rehabilitation. Based on the widespread use and reliability of robotic technology in other areas of medicine, robotic technology will play a significant role in the accuracy of metal free implant rehabilitation in the future as well as in predoctorial and postgraduate education.
Content of the lecture:
Thomas G. Wiedemann, MD, PhD, DDS is currently a full-time Clinical Associate Professor at New York University, College of Dentistry, Department of Oral- and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is a Fellow of the European Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Head and Neck Surgery (EBOMFS) and the title of a Diplomate of the International congress of oral implantologists (ICOI) has been conferred upon him.
Professor Wiedemann´s career consists of 25 + years of surgical and educational experience in an academic setting as well as successfully operating private practices and providing the full scope of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery including surgical Implant Dentistry. In addition, he offers 15+ years of professional experience as Expert Witness and Consultant in Health Care Management.
He is the author of many publications, speaker and course director in national and international conferences on oral surgery and implantology related topics and serves on the editorial board of several renowned and peer reviewed scientific journals.
Research interest
His special research interests are: minimal invasive surgical techniques of the full scope of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, medical and dental emergency care, ceramic implants, titanium intolerance, peri-implantitis and implant failures, surgical complications management in implant dentistry and oral surgery. He has acquired extensive expertise in implant surgery with multiple implant systems (titanium and zirconia) since 1995 and is well versed in innovative concepts of bone augmentation and soft tissue regeneration, CBCT-guided, robotic-assisted and piezo-surgery.
In the last decades the blood concentrates proved more and more to promote the outcome in dental surgery. A significant better wound healing process was observed. This positive benefit let to introduction of a relatively large number of different centrifuge types and different protocols. The latter aspects, however, makes it very difficult for dentists to choose the right protocol or centrifuge.
In the present lecture, a scientific overview about different blood concentrates with and without anticoagulants is given. By introducing the Low Speed Centrifugation Concept, it will be highlighted that exactly similar solid liquid matrices can be gained by different centrifuge types, when respecting that RCF (relative centrifugal force) can be calculated for every centrifuge when maximal radius of the latter is known. By presenting five ongoing randomized clinical trials the positive contribution of solid and liquid blood concentrates will be highlighted, especially in augmented regions along with tissue level ceramic implants by means of the open healing concept.

Is Titanium (as Biomaterial) Responsible for Peri-implant Diseases?
Peri-implant diseases are relatively common in Implant Dentistry and there is no evidence about the best treatment approach. The main etiological factors are the bacteria accumulation in the per-implant area and the host response. However, recent studies show presence of titanium particles and Titanium ions in the soft tissues and therefore a supplemental possible aetiology for peri-implantitis. Decontamination of the implant surface is associated with additional accumulation of particles in the peri-implant area.
The lecture will present alternative options to titanium and how implant dentistry in the future can allow aesthetic improvements and an establishment of a peri-implant soft and hard tissue interface without risks. We will focus on the titanium contaminants from the moment of the implant insertion in the dense bone, under loading conditions as well as at the peri-implant inflammatory reactions at the titanium-bone interface. Last but not least the use of laser-assisted technology to decontaminate titanium and zirconia implants to treat peri-implantitis will show the potential risks of this technology on titanium compared to zirconia dental implants.

Creating a Strategic Plan For Your Practice
A wise mentor once said: “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” Too often Dentists go through the course of their practice existence acting reactively to the challenges and issues that continually develop. This leads to constant stress and frustration and never lends time to finding a way to get out in front of it all and reach your practice’s full potential. In this talk, Dr. Christopher Phelps, DMD CMCT is going to discuss how you can buy back your time, allowing you to create a strategic plan for your practice.
Discussing all of the raw materials you can use to create actionable and achievable goals. By taking this more proactive approach in your business thinking you’ll find the success you’re looking for. Whether that be a better work-life balance, grow multiple offices or just achieve a level of financial success you never thought possible.
Learning Objectives:
In his first 7 years of practice he grew the revenue of his practices by a factor of 10X, going from 1 practice location to 4 locations. After selling two of those offices for profit, Dr. Phelps focused on maximizing the capacity of his remaining 2 practices and had 2 consecutive years of $1,000,000 revenue growth at each of the two practices, effectively collecting with 2 offices what he had collected when he owned 4 offices. A major part of this success was the Call Tracker ROI program he developed which helped increase his new patient numbers from 60/month to averaging over 300/month; all the while decreasing his marketing expenses by 74%.
Dr. Phelps is a key opinion leader to several large dental companies was awarded the 2016 Doctor’s Choice National Dentist Award (from 6,000 nominated).

The concept that “Doctor knows best” has existed for decades and is largely to blame for the disconnect between patient and care provider. With such a heavy focus in pre-doctoral studies on core sciences such as biochemistry and microbiology it is understandable why the majority of doctors come into the work-force with a better understanding of how to interact with a petri dish than with people. This presentation will provide proven steps on how to deepen your relationships and better connect with your patients (and everyone else in your life!).
Dr. Blodgett will share how his educational background in psychology and work as a crisis counselor helped him develop the effective communication systems and grow his practice to 10-times its original production level.

Studies suggest that repeated statements are perceived as more truthful than statements made less frequently, “presumably because repetition imbues the statement with familiarity.” In simple terms: frequency breeds familiarity, and familiarity breed trust. Is your patient hearing a consistent message from the whole dental team? Having your staff fully trained in the aspect of the services the office delivers will increase 3 things: patient understanding, patient trust, and case acceptance. From the first call with the receptionist to the doctor’s chair, an office that is fully empowered is a successful one.

When it comes to the osseointegration of neutral or biological inert zirconia implants the osseointegration follows a different mechanism than their metal based titanium counterparts. Whereas the latter osseointegrate through an ongoing silent inflammation process with cytokines like TNFa and IL1-b involved, zirconia implants only osseointegrate in healthy bone without any help of a chronic inflammation. The body therefore must be able to build bone which requires a few physiological mechanisms. Think of this as building a new house: you would need bricks, wood, cement and of course a lot of workers to build the new home.
Supplying the body with enough building material and workers to build bone will boost the regeneration and buildup of new tissue like bone and surrounding gum. We will have a look at the timing and amounts of the macronutrients. protein, fats and carbs. We will review how to tune the food first approach with the right micronutrients like vitamin D3, vitamin K2, Omega-3 fatty acids, minerals like magnesium and other crucial cofactors in order to help the patient achieve optimal health, therefore ideal ossification which will lead to better results with the ceramic implant osseointegration.

Our world and way of life has changed a lot over the years. From the foods we eat to our environment, the chemicals and stressors we’re exposed to, our breathing and facial structures have changed. As a result the day-to-day face is longer, more compressed, and even more importantly our functional breathing is being hindered.
Utilizing a neuromuscular approach for implant and restoration cases, this lecture will discuss implants and osseous remodeling craniofacial deformities – creating nonsurgical facelifts. We will look at implantation, how the position of the lower jaw affects the airway, how the bite affects the craniofacial structure and posture, and approaches to treating patients with sleep apnea. Join me and let’s discover these possibilities together!
Learning Objectives:
Martha Cortés, DDS is a general, cosmetic, biological, neuromuscular and laser dentist who sub-specializes in the treatment of sleep breathing disorders, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been used in many aspects of human society, including medicine, and it is also being used more and more widely in dentistry.
AI can assist dental providers with valuable information in real time and can increase clinicians’ ability to measure the effectiveness of different treatment modalities. Currently, the applications of AI extend from research and development of new dental materials to diagnostic tools (e.g., to detect caries, periapical lesions, and periodontal disease), to treatment planning and oral health care delivery, to the post-treatment monitoring, and follow-ups. Since detection and diagnosis of dental decay, periodontal disease, and related treatment can be subjective, the use of AI can fill the void of inaccuracies and potentially standardize dental treatment. As a result, diagnoses can be more accurate and treatment planning can be more precise.
In this presentation the basic concepts and principles of AI, the new advancements, new approaches, and applications of AI along with other advanced technologies in dentistry will be discussed. Participants will get a basic introduction and will explore how AI is already being used, and its impact on dentistry, as well as its potential and what they can do with this transformational technology.
