LAS VEGAS, Nev., USA: More than 4,000 attendees have gathered at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center here in Las Vegas for the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons’ 98th Annual Meeting, Scientific Sessions and Exhibition. Leading clinicians from around the world are on hand to share their knowledge and expertise on maxillofacial surgery.
A key educational element is the administration of in-office anesthesia, with special emphasis on anesthesia for geriatric patients and anesthesia management for patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
In the exhibit hall, there are plenty of new products and services to check out.
Among the key findings is the X-Guide dental implant navigation system, available from X-Nav Technologies. According to the company, the X-Guide system features patented technology that makes learning and integrating navigation technology easy. It is important to note that with this system, the surgeon concentrates on a single target to assist in precisely guiding the implant. The result: They consistently achieve a more desirable, functional and esthetic outcome, according to the company.

The X-Guide system offers clinicians the ability to achieve more accurate placement of implants, the company said. Interactive, turn-by-turn guidance during live surgery offers the ability to control the exact position, angle and depth — like a GPS for your handpiece.
At DENTSPLY Implants you can check out the OsseoSpeed Profile EV dental implant, which is designed to provide 360-degree bone preservation while maintaining soft-tissue esthetics. Instead of augmenting sloped ridges to accommodate flat-top implants, OsseoSpeed Profile EV allows you to follow the bone, according to the company. The implant reduces the need for augmentation and saves time and costs, and it increases case acceptance by helping to address patient concerns regarding pain and treatment time, the company said.
Salvin Dental is offering the Renovix Guided Healing Collagen Membrane, for for pre-implant grafting procedures, including socket preservation, ridge augmentation and sinus lifts. The membrane the ability to drape and conform to the specific anatomy of a grafted defect, while maintaining structural integrity and elasticity, according to the company. This combination of ideal handling characteristics helps to make grafting procedures easier and more predictable, the company said.
For sedation, Porter Instrument is offering a lightweight nasal hood that does not obstruct access to the oral cavity. The Silhouette Nasal Mask is a single-patient-use disposable nasal mask and circuit, featuring four size options (pediatric, small, medium and large). It is designed with the lowest possible profile, making it easier for the clinician to work around, according to the company. An adhesive strip for the bridge of the patient’s nose secures the mask in place, preventing gas from flowing into the patient’s eyes and reduces risk to the health-care provider from inhaling it, the company said. The nasal hood provides predictable results for the dentist and a pleasant experience for the patient, the company said.
