SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: The Academy of General Dentistry held its annual meeting — AGD 2015 — June 18 to 21 at Moscone West Convention Center. The event offered advanced learning, hands-on experiences and dental product shopping. Meeting organizers said that attendees could surely find a “golden opportunity” for education, networking and camaraderie.
Internet travel pioneer Terry Jones of Travelocity.com, Kayak.com and WayBlazer offered an address about survival of the fittest. Jones said that surviving, whether it’s in nature or the marketplace, isn’t about being the strongest or the smartest. It’s about adapting to change.
“Live Implant Surgical Demonstration — The Magic Circle,” was presented by Todd B. Engel, DDS. This surgical treatment course included information on the initial consultation and case blueprinting, biological preparation of the patient, occlusion for the proposed plan and the surgical component.
Other courses included “Can’t We Just Pull Them?” with Dr. Gregory L. Psaltis; “The Art of Endodontics: A Hands-On Participation Workshop,” with Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan; “Dental Implants: The Surgical and Prosthetic Rationale for the General Practitioner,” with Dr. Stace D. Lind; and “CBCT: More Than a Panoramic, Less Than a Panacea,” with Dr. Richard Monahan.
