The First International Conference on Dental & Craniofacial Stem Cells

Dental Continuing Education — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:00:50 +0000



	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 Nadya Lumelsky, PhD, NIDCR Conference website http://dental.columbia.edu/ICDCSC/ CE Office website: www.dental.columbia.edu/ce Email: dentalce@columbia.edu

The Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontic Technique

Dental Continuing Education — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 18:30:36 +0000


Upcoming Course Dates March 25-26, 2011 June 3-4, 2011 October 21-22, 2011	Course Objective This two day course is designed to expose the clinicians to the advanced surgical and orthodontic aspects of the Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™ (AOO) technique and to the unique manner in which these must be coordinated to maximize the potential of this technique. Upon completion the clinician should be able to utilize the new diagnostic parameters needed to treatment plan the various orthodontic classifications and properly design the surgical aspects needed to support the orthodontic objectives. Attendees receive 16 CE credits (AGD). Testimonials From Former Course Attendees: “As a Periodontist, I work with a number of Orthodontic colleagues who utilize AOO™ as a vital treatment option for their patients. AOO™ not only accelerates the movement of teeth but the bone regenerated allows for better and more stable orthodontic results. After performing the surgery for AOO™ on hundreds of patients, I can vouch for the safety and efficacy of this procedure.” - Dr. Charles A. White, Periodontist, Bentonville, Arkansas “I have used this innovative surgical technique on over eighty cases in a variety of indications with impressive results and more importantly minimal complications and excellent stability. I would highly recommend this course to both orthodontists and surgeons.” - Dr. Jeff Pulver, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Los Angeles, California

About the Speakers This course is presented by Dr. William Wilcko and Dr. Thomas Wilcko, who over the past 14 years have developed and perfected the Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™ technique. More than 700 professionals in 29 countries have been trained in the AOO™ technique. William M. Wilcko, DMD, MS Private practice in Orthodontics, Erie, PA M.

The role that CT scan imaging can play in orthodontic diagnosing and treatment planning. • Sorting through the misunderstandings of rapid tooth movement. Shedding the mechanical mind set of “bony block” movement and replacing this with the physiologic interpretation of “bone matrix transportation”. • Proper utilization of bone thinning and activation to take full advantage of the demineralization phase of the RAP. • Adapting to new orthodontic treatment parameters that take into consideration the significant increases in the limits of tooth movement and the increase in the speed of tooth movement. • The importance of alveolar and gingival grafting to provide a more intact periodontium and increased long term stability. Friday 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm • Orthodontic versus orthopedic forces in de-crowding, expansive movements and space closing. Modifying orthodontic adjustment scheduling to take full advantage of the “window of opportunity”. • Understanding the potential and limitations of subtle facial reshaping as a substitute for orthognathic surgery. • Review the coordination of the surgical and orthodontic aspects of the treatment plan. Saturday 8:00 am – 12:00 pm • Treatment Planning, treatment planning, & more treatment planning. • The proper sequencing of the rapid forced eruption of shallow versus deeply impacted teeth. • Understanding various health issues and medications that can impact the delivery of AOO™. • Points of interest and how to avoid complications. Saturday 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm • Addressing the esthetics of the entire lower face and the adjustment of lip lines. • Marketing this technique to your patients. You will have the option of purchasing special marketing materials that have been developed to aid you in patient education and case acceptance.

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 indepth 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 EasyGuide™ 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 (EasyGuide™). 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.
