Testimonial:
This program provided a unique opportunity for me and my staff to be trained and supervised performing implant surgery in a surgical setting on our own patients.
I think this program provides important credentials for any practitioner’s implant resume.

The First International Conference on
Dental and Craniofacial Stem Cells
Wednesday April 27 through Friday April 29, 2011
The New York Academy of Sciences in New York City

The First International Conference on Dental and Craniofacial Stem Cells will assemble for the first time the world’s leading scientists in the field of dental/craniofacial stem cells. Diseases and injuries affecting the craniofacial complex have a high impact on facial appearance and quality of life. The discovery of stem cells derived from dental/craniofacial tissue has generated great enthusiasm and interest due to the possibilities for regeneration and the clinical applications. This field offers great potential for the treatment of craniofacial tissues affected by chronic diseases, trauma, congenital anomalies, and tumors. This three day conference will set the stage for advancing the knowledge base about the biology, function and eventual clinical application of dental/craniofacial stem cells.

Topics will include:
Molecular and Functional Assays of Dental, Oral, Craniofacial Stem Cells
Stem Cells and Craniofacial Development
Origin of Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Stem Cells
Stem Cell Interactions with Immune Systems and Inflammation
Stem Cells: Regulatory Landscape and Policies
From Development to Tissue Regeneration Models
Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering
Dental and Craniofacial Regeneration
Tissue Regeneration back to Stem Cell Biology: Moving Forward
Course Directors:
Jeremy Mao, DDS, PhD, Columbia University
Darwin Prockop, MD, PhD, Texas A&M Medical Center
Pamela Robey, PhD, NIDCR

Bone and Soft Tissue Grafting for the Dental Implantologist - A Hands-On Cadaver Course Featuring Cone Beam CT Interpretation

Course Intent

     This course is designed to give clinicians the confidence to perform soft tissue grafts, appropriate flap design for full and partial thickness flaps, suturing and advanced bone grafting procedures upon returning to their offices. Our structure is a combination of in-depth lecture, over the shoulder demonstration and a hands-on workshop with models and fresh frozen cadaver heads on advanced bone grafting for implant placement. One of the unique features of our course is that we provide cone beam CT scans and Virtual Implant Placement software interpretation of every cadaver head to simulate a realistic learning experience. This is the closest thing to performing live surgery!

     Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual which compiles PowerPoint slides from the lecture. This makes following the lecture more enjoyable than having to take detailed notes, and provides an excellent reference back in the office after the course. Each participant will also receive a personalized monogrammed scrub which can be worn in the lab, as well as a soft sided attaché.

 
Course Objectives

     After completing this course the clinician should be able to treatment plan dental implants based on prosthetic classifications, divisions of available bone and classifications of bone density. The surgeon will be able to provide appropriate manipulation and grafting of the soft tissues, and have exposure to the practical use of cone beam software (Virtual Implant Placement). Finally, the implant surgeon will have a more thorough understanding of advanced bone grafting procedures which will ultimately improve implant success, longevity and esthetics for their patients..
