LUBBOCK, Texas, USA: Osteogenics Biomedical recently announced that its 2012 Global Bone Grafting Symposium, unique for its focus on dental bone grafting and treatment planning, will be held April 19 to 21, 2012 at The Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio, Texas. The symposium will feature presentations by world-renowned speakers, interactive treatment planning sessions with an expert panel, and optional hands-on workshops.

Speakers include Dr. Stephen Caldwell, Dr. Sascha Jovanovic, Dr. Bradley McAllister, Dr. Alvaro Ordonez, Dr. Michael Pikos, Dr. Istvan Urban, Dr. Hom-Lay Wang and Dr. Thomas Wilson.

“After 30 years of attending a wide variety of CE courses, this symposium is at the top of my list,” said Dr. Catherine Hebert about the 2011 symposium. “Fabulous speakers sharing an in-depth knowledge of the art and science of bone grafting … I will be back for more like this!”

On April 20 and 21, the symposium will feature 90-minute main podium lectures, question and answer sessions, and interactive treatment planning sessions. Optional hands-on workshops will be offered on Thursday afternoon, April 19. Workshop topics include: vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation techniques, ridge sculpting using tenting screws and acellular membranes, and socket augmentation techniques to minimize buccal bone resorption and improve implant esthetics.

“This symposium is unique in that it offers a broad scope in treatment perspectives and protocols from several of the more prominent clinicians and researchers in our field,” said Dr. Philip Bird. “I would recommend it to anyone treating patients in the field of implant and regenerative dentistry.”

The Westin La Cantera Resort is an ideal location due to San Antonio’s enjoyable spring weather and national attractions. The resort features 36 holes of championship golf, a world-class spa, six swimming pools, and nature trails. The resort offers complimentary shuttle service to The Shops at La Cantera, an upscale shopping experience with a variety of dining options, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Perched on top of 300 acres, the resort has memorable views of the Texas Hill Country. Within driving distance are a number of top entertainment attractions including the San Antonio Riverwalk, The Alamo and SeaWorld.

Tuition for the main symposium on April 20 and 21 is $795, offering up to 14 CE credits. Assistants and office personnel are welcome for $350. Clinicians can participate in one hands-on workshop of their choice on April 19 and earn four CE credits for an additional $695.
