Geistlich Biomaterials to offer ‘Multidisciplinary Treatment Solutions for Peri-Implantitis Symposium’

This multidisciplinary symposium is for all dental professionals who are responsible for or interested in the placement, maintenance, restoration and preservation of dental implants.

“Peri-implantitis is not a regional problem; it’s a worldwide problem, so coming together [at this symposium] for hands-on training and an honest discussion about what we know and what we still need to learn is what this conference will be all about,” said Dr. Stuart Froum, co-organizing chairman. “It will stress a multidisciplinary approach with both surgeons and restorative dentists learning how collaboration on diagnosis and treatment can increase successful outcomes.”

Global exchange of high-level ideas and information will be carried throughout the event. The hands-on workshops, on June 9, will be limited in attendance and are sure to sell out quickly.

These interactive programs will review “Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy,” presented by Dr. Marisa Roncati of Italy, and “Corrections for the Prevention and Management of Peri-Implant Diseases,” presented by Prof. Dr. Frank Schwarz of Germany.

General sessions will take place on June 10 and June 11 and will include topics such as:

• “Prevent Peri-Implantitis and Plan for Long-Term Success,” presented by Dr. Myron Nevins, U.S.
• “Identifying Factors Associated with Peri-Implant Bone Loss,” presented by Dr. Paul Rosen, U.S.
• “Surgical Regenerative Therapy of Peri-Implantitis,” presented by Prof. Dr. Frank Schwarz, Germany
