Viva Las Vegas..... our Return to the Bellagio Brings Record CrowdsICOI’s Winter Symposium “raised the bar” for excellence in the Scientific program and in overall attendance. Over 1,700 people flocked to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas to enjoy ICOI’s Winter Symposium as the Program Chair, Dr. Michael Pikos, arranged a stellar scientific program of topical subject matter.

With over 1,000 doctors, 360 auxiliaries, 125 accompanying persons and 300 plus industry representatives, our Winter Symposium surpassed even past World Congress attendance numbers. The dates of this record setting symposium were February 10-12, 2011. The meeting was held during the Chinese New Year’s celebration which added to the festive spirit at the Bellagio (the hotel was festooned with symbols for the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. )

The theme for the Winter Symposium was, “Implant Dentistry 2011: Innovations to Esthetics”, and Dr. Pikos’ faculty provided 2 ½ days of outstanding dental implant continuing education. Thursday afternoon, the program was begun with a full afternoon devoted to CT related technologies and the most recent advances in the use of growth factors in implant surgical reconstruction. This subject was clearly defined by lectures from Drs. Scott Ganz from Fort Lee, New Jersey; Alan Rosenfeld from Park Ridge, IL; James Rutkowksi from Clarion ,PA; Joseph Choukroun, from Nice, France; Eduardo Anitua from Vitoria, Spain and Daniel Llop, CDT, from Reno, NV.

Friday was devoted to the esthetic zone reconstruction with emphasis on complications expertly addressed by Drs. Jaime Lozada from Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, CA; Guiseppe Cardaropoli from UMDNJ – New

Jersey Dental School; Nick Caplanis from Loma Linda University; Nick Elian from New York University, NYC ; Michael Pikos from Palm Harbor,FL; Pat Allen from Dallas, TX; Joseph Kan from Loma Linda, CA; Zeev Ormianer from Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel; Hom-Lay Wang, from the University of Michigan; Homayoun Zadeh from UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; and Ady Palti from Baden-Baden, Germany.

Saturday’s schedule was introduced by Dr. Dan Spagnoli who gave a state of the art presentation on bone morphogenic proteins and their clinical application to implant surgery reconstruction. Following this, the remainder of the conference focused on innovative strategies for esthetic zone reconstruction including immediate loading in the maxilla for single, multiple and complete tooth replacement. The outstanding international faculty for this portion of the program was led off by Drs. Timothy Hottel from the University of Tennessee, Memphis, TN; Carl Misch, Director of the Misch International Implant Institute; Nigel Saynor from South Manchester, United Kingdom; Jeffrey Ganeles

This course also offered a hands-on exercise in the use of allograft and PTFE membrane for socket augmentation. The course was sponsored by Osteogenics; Dr. Carl Misch and the Misch International Implant Institute sponsored a half-day course on a treatment plan sequence to decrease the risk of biomechanical overload in implant placement; Dr. Dwayne Karateew’s course focused on Dentsply’s Ankylos Implant and the Tissue Care Concept: The Foundation of Hard and Soft Tissue Preservation and Esthetics; Dr. Joseph Choukroun gave a compelling course on PRF Membranes complete from the background, research and applications of PRF membranes followed by a hands-on workshop devoted to the actual production and handling of the PRF membranes. The course was sponsored by Intra-Lock International; and finally, Dr. Ziv Mazor presented a course on Current and Future Trends in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation. This course was sponsored by MIS.

Given the outright success of this meeting and the interest in this venue, we are planning to return to Las Vegas and the Bellagio for our Winter Symposium in February 2013. MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

The ICOI co-hosted its first symposium with New York’s Columbia University, College of Dental Medicine, December 10-11, 2010 at Columbia Medical Center. Dr. Dennis Tarnow, newly appointed Director of Implant Education at Columbia College of Dental Medicine was the scientific chair for this symposium. He did not disappoint. With a powerful international list of invited speakers, this meeting was SOLD OUT!! The main lecture hall was filled and we had to telecast the meeting into an alternate hall in the Medical Center. Nearly 500 doctors attended Dr. Tarnow’s first implant symposium at Columbia. The exhibition space was filled to capacity with several companies on a waiting list.

The faculty included the following speakers: Drs. John Beumer, Lyndon Cooper, Sidney Eiseg, David Garber, Axel Kirsch, David Kohavi, Michael McGuire, Alan Meltzer, Neil Meredith, Peter Moy, Joerg Strub and Tiziano Testori.

Dean of Columbia Medical Center, Dr. Ira Lamster, opened the meeting with welcoming remarks, followed by Dr. Kenneth Judy, ICOI Co-Chair and Dr. Tarnow. As is his custom, Dr. Tarnow’s program allowed for several minutes of Q&A following each lecture which underscored the educational value of the program.

At the conclusion of the symposium on Saturday, December 11th, many doctors were awarded their ICOI advanced credentials . Receiving their ICOI Fellowships were the following:

A PAT On The BACk...Many ICOI members have shown their dedication to implant dentistry education in general and to the ICOI in particular. While we have several such individuals, below are four that we would like to thank at this time for “growing the ICOI”, by exposing their graduates to ICOI membership, meetings and advanced credentials.

Itemsof Interest

Dr. Carl E. Misch, founder of The Misch International Implant Institute located in Philadelphia Temple University, Orlando, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto and Singapore, has actively recruited members and encouraged their participation in ICOI Fellowship and Diplomate credentials, as well as presented ADIA certification programs for over 25 years. Graduates of The Misch International Implant Institute are well represented.

Dr. Rick Ferguson, Director of Implant Educators, has expanded his courses to include Miami, Tampa, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. This extension has had a major impact on ICOI membership and Fellowship in those areas. At each location, Implant Educators supports an ADIA certification program for all team members.

Triangle Dental Institute, Durham, NC, was created by Dr. William Hunt in 2008. Since its founding, many graduates have joined the ICOI, the ADIA and become ICOI Fellows. He is committed to the ICOI and continues to encourage large groups of new members to attend ICOI symposia.

The Institut Canadien d’Implantologie located in Quebec and France, under the guidance of Dr. Yvan Poitras, has been a long standing supporter of ICOI, its meetings and Advanced Credentialed Commission. The Institut and its on-going study club activities have significantly increased ICOI international membership and the Canadian Society of Oral Implantology (CSOI), an affiliate society of the ICOI.

nobel Biocare’s Replace select TC system

Osteogenics Biomedical introduces enCore™, the first particulate combination allograft

Nobel Biocare’s product Replace Select TC is a versatile, and easy-to-use implant-supported over denture solution. Backed by more than 40 years of successfully treating edentulous patients, Nobel Biocare introduces another versatile product for implant-supported over denture solutions. Replace Select TC is a two-piece implant with a 3 mm high, extended machined collar, which enables platform access at tissue level. Simultaneously, its color-coded internal tri-channel connection facilitates accurate and quick restorative component identification and placement.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Osteogenics Biomedical, a leader in the development of innovative dental bone grafting products, introduces enCore™ Combination Allograft, the first particulate grafting product combining mineralized and demineralized bone in a single bottle.

By combining these two distinctly different allografts, the surgeon is able to employ the complementary benefits of space-maintaining mineralized bone with osteoinductive demineralized matrix to optimize the environment for the regeneration of vital bone.

Each lot of enCore™ Combination Allograft undergoes a post-sterilization in vivo test for verification of osteoinductive potential. Additionally, each lot is bio-assayed for a threshold of BMP-2 to ensure product consistency.

During the processing of enCore™, best practices in tissue safety are utilized, such as single donor sourcing, rigorous donor screening and testing, terminal sterilization, and processing according to both FDA and AATB guidelines.
