‘Hygiene Symposium’ part of AAP’s 100th anniversary annual meeting

While cable cars get most of the attention, the electric streetcars on San Francisco’s F Market Line also add to the city’s atmosphere. The heritage service uses vintage local streetcars as well as a number of cars from other cities’ retired fleets, including No. 1895 from Milan, Italy, pictured. The line is a block away from the San Francisco Marriott Marquis, site of the Dental Hygiene Symposium being held in conjunction with the 100th anniversary AAP annual meeting.

NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The California Society of Periodontists is presenting a Dental Hygiene Symposium in conjunction with the American Academy of Periodontology annual meeting. The symposium is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20, at the annual meeting’s headquarters hotel, the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Registration is at 8 a.m., with the program running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It is worth four C.E. credits. The symposium is at additional cost and separate from the meeting’s one-day pass for hygienists.

The symposium has three presentations.

“Dental Implants & Maintenance for the Dental Hygienist” provides insight into common dental implant prosthetics, complication diagnosis and routine maintenance, which can help lead to long-term success for patients. The presenter is Erik F. Sahl, DDS, MSD, assistant professor, department of periodontics, Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Sahl has won a number of awards and also maintains a private practice.

“The Perio-Systemic Health Connection: Where Are We Today?” provides an overview of the connection between inflammatory periodontal diseases and commonly encountered systemic conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and pregnancy complications. The presenter is Brian L. Mealey, DDS, MS, professor and graduate program director in the department of periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center. Mealey also is a director of the American Board of Periodontology and maintains a clinical practice in periodontics and implant dentistry.

“Periodontal Microsurgery and Endoscopy: Seeing is Believing!” enables you to experience technology that enhances “vision” of dentists, hygienists and periodontists to provide effective, minimally invasive care. Growing numbers of hygienists are providing non-surgical treatments using micro ultrasonic instrumentation, visualizing with the periodontal endoscope. The presenter is John Y. Kwan, DDS, associate clinical professor at UCSF School of Dentistry. Kwan has been published in national and international peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. He maintains a private practice, which includes clinical research and education, and he also is president and CEO of Perioscopy Inc.
