Over 350 clinicians from 10 countries gathered in Scottsdale, Ariz., April 1 and 2 to attend Osteogenics 2011 Global Bone Grafting Symposium, a continuing education event focused on dental bone grafting and treatment planning, hosted by Osteogenics Biomedical. It was the third annual event.

World-renowned speakers led lectures, interactive treatment planning sessions and optional hands-on workshops offering a variety of treatment perspectives and protocols. This year’s speakers included Dr Paul Fugazzotto, Dr Suzanne Caudry, Dr Barry Bartee, Dr Tom Wilson, Dr Paulo Coelho, Dr Sascha Jovanovic, Dr Istvan Urban, Dr Dan Cullum and Dr Craig Misch.

“This year’s symposium attracted a record group of doctors,” said Shane Shuttlesworth, president of Osteogenics. “The growing success of our annual symposium is in a large part thanks to the quality, credibility and variety of speakers that we have been able to partner with.”

“Every year the program is unique,” said Dr Stephen Folson, a periodontist from Peoria, Ariz. “They bring speakers in world-wide, and I take home to my office on Monday morning applications that I have gleaned from the meetings on an annual basis.”

New to the symposium this year, clinicians had the option to choose one of three pre-symposium hands-on workshops. The limited attendance workshops, led by Dr Caudry, Dr Cullum and Dr Jovanovic, sold out weeks prior to the symposium. Based on the positive feedback from attendees, Osteogenics plans to offer pre-symposium workshops again next year.

Osteogenics Biomedical established Osteogenics Clinical Education in 2008 with a mission of providing interactive hands-on clinical education in bone grafting and implant dentistry. Since then, Osteogenics Clinical Education has hosted the Global Bone Grafting Symposium annually every spring. Each year the symposium offers clinicians the opportunity to improve their comprehensive treatment planning skills and integrate the latest technologies, materials and techniques into their treatment planning process.

Headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, Osteogenics Biomedical is a leader in the development of innovative dental bone grafting products serving periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and clinicians involved in regenerative and implant dentistry throughout the world.
