It was geared toward intermediate- to advanced-level practitioners.

Topics included soft tissue management, esthetics, smile design, ridge augmentation, single tooth and full-arch restoration and digital technology.

Expert speakers came in from around the world to share their expertise and knowledge. Among them, Dr. Stephen J.

The home base for attendees was the Grand Hyatt New York Hotel, where a welcome breakfast was held Monday morning and a welcome reception, product fair and scientific poster presentations submitted by participants were held Monday evening.
