NEW ORLEANS, La., USA: It’s all business and beignets this week for attendees of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry’s 65th Annual Implant Dentistry Education Conference. For three and a half days, attendees here have the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading experts in implant dentistry and also to meet with implant companies showcasing the latest technologies and products.

Main podium sessions began with “Laser-Assited Peri-implantitis Procedure” with Dr. Allen Honigman and “Contemporary Treatment of Peri-implantitist” with Dr. Tara Aghaloo, leading into “Autogenous Bone vs. Biologics: Graft Selection for Success” with Dr. Craig M. Misch.

Attendees also had the opportunity to hear from keynote speaker Dr. Leonard Bailey, who performed the first successful human-to-human heart transplantation in a newborn baby. Bailey, surgeon-in-chief of Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in Loma Linda, Calif., said one of his missions now is to provide clinicians the inspiration to remain solidly committed to optimal patient service.

In addition to these presentations, a wide variety of educational sessions including hands-on workshops, seminars, dental team programs and poster displays help round out solid education for AAID attendees.

After a day of thorough training and learning, the Implant World Expo Reception, held Thursday evening, was a great way to cap off the night. More than 130 exhibitors were available to meet and mingle with attendees.

In the exhibit hall, attendees can learn about all the new products and technology meant to make your clinical life smoother. Here is just a sampling of the products and technology in the AAID exhibit hall:

Implanova: If you have never heard of Implanova before, there is good reason! The company’s official launch was just eight months ago, and Dr. Parsa Zadeh, CEO and founder, is sure you’ll want to come learn more about his product that simplifies dental implant placement and restoration. Meet Zadeh, and let him tell you personally why he believes Implanova helps to overcome the shortcomings of existing implant systems.
Versah: There’s good reason that the booth for Versah stays busy, but there’s also a good chance you’ll want to battle the crowd to bring this technology to your practice. Versah was created by a practicing periodontist, Dr. Salah Huwais, to offer an improved and unique way to prepare osteotomies for implant placement. His goal was to create a new instrument and procedure to maintain healthy bone while preparing osteotomies — rather than simply remove it to make space. The Densah Bur Kit does not drill away bone. Instead, the Densah burs are rotated in reverse at 800 to 1,500 rpm and, when coupled with irrigation, hydro-dynamically densify bone through compaction autografting or “osseodensification.” The result is a consistently cylindrical and densified osteotomy.
Glidewell Laboratories: From Dr. Jack Hahn, creator of the original tapered implant, the Hahn Tapered Implant System combines clinically proven features with contemporary innovation to meet the demands of modern implant dentistry. At the Glidewell booth, attendees can ask about this advanced system and may even have the pleasure of speaking with Hahn himself.

Finally, once you’ve got the business end of things wrapped up at the AAID annual meeting, head out into the city of New Orleans, and get yourself some beignets!
