OF THE MEDICALLY-COMPROMISED PATIENT 
8:00 - 10:00 am
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Periodontal
Medicine
Moderator: TBD
Speakers: Brian L. Mealey, Salvatore L. Ruggiero,
Sidney C. Smith, Jr.
The periodontist is critical in managing the treatment of
patients with systemic complexities. This course will cover
three medical issues which impact treatment decisions:
diabetes, bisphosphonates and anticoagulant therapy.
In a patient with diabetes, successful periodontal therapy
requires glycemic control, while successful medical
treatment is facilitated by good oral health. Critical
strategies for patient care based on an improved
understanding of diabetes and its current medical
management will be presented. The second section
will update bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of
the jaw (BRONJ). Anticoagulant therapy may alter
treatment planning and interact with other medications.
A physician’s view of our role in management of the
patient on this type of therapy will be presented.
Educational Objectives:
- Understand current diagnostic parameters for diabetes and methods for objectively assessing glycemic control.
- Comprehend contemporary medical strategies in managing diabetes and their impact on periodontal therapy.
- Review the clinical signs and symptoms of BRONJ, risk factors and treatment algorithms.

both anterior and posterior applications. A variety of
techniques for this demanding problem will be explored:
connective tissue (bi-laminar) grafting, coronally
advanced flaps, autogenous (mono-laminar) gingival
grafts and acellular dermal matrix. The indications,
advantages and clinical technique for each application
will be presented.
Educational Objectives:
- Understand the limitations presented by the shallow mandibular vestibule and the principles of each technique for proper case selection.
- Learn the techniques available to address gingival augmentation for this challenging presentation in both anterior and posterior sites.
- Ascertain technique modifications for successful outcomes without further reduction in vestibular depth.

FCE7: NARROW DIAMETER IMPLANTS:
EXPANDING YOUR OPTIONS 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Implants
Moderator: Sang-Choon Cho
Speaker: Stuart J. Froum
Narrow diameter implants (NDIs) add a valuable
and unique treatment modality, thus increasing the
opportunity to use implants in patients who would not
be candidates for conventional implant treatment. Two
types of NDIs will be discussed in this presentation, which
will provide a thorough review of all uses of such implants.
Step-by-step procedures will be shown to familiarize the
participants in the surgical, immediate temporization,
final prosthetic treatments and ridge augmentation
procedures with block grafts, and guided bone regeneration.
Home-study references and materials including clinical
photographs will be provided to each participant.
Educational Objectives:
- Become familiar with the armamentarium, surgical placement and provisionalization of NDIs in areas of limited spaced, atrophic bone and as support for immediate loaded restorations.
- Learn the advantages of using NDIs with screw-retained restorations for ease of retrievability.
- Understand the variety of ridge augmentation procedures (block grafts, GBR, allograft blocks) where employing NDIs facilitated the success of the augmentation.
FCE8: THE UNIVERSAL IMPLANT TREATMENT
ALGORITHM 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Implants
Moderator: Alan L. Rosenfeld
Speaker: Richard A. Mecall
The purpose of this program is to create a systematic
method using SimPlant software to analyze diagnostic
information that has checkpoints, which suggest that the
treatment plan is acceptable or needs further investigation.
The use of a basic treatment pathway and a universal
implant treatment algorithmis the centerpiece for computerguided
decision-making and implant treatment planning.
This presentation will apply an algorithm to four familiar
implant restorations, of which common patterns of
treatment for each case type will be explained. Application
of the universal implant treatment algorithm will allow
both experienced and non-experienced dentists to achieve
comparable results using CT, and will easily determine
what procedures are needed and their sequence in order
to solve a patient’s problem. It will also suggest the
optimal type of final restoration and accurate
determination of fees.
Educational Objectives:
- Review common normal and pathologic findings using CT.
- Assess basic treatment pathways and universal implanttreatment algorithms to simplify computer-guided implant treatment planning.
- Evaluate familiar patterns of treatment for five case types that will allow the periodontist to more effectively consult with the patient and referring colleagues.
FCE9: LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: PROTECTING
YOUR ASSETS 
10:15 - 11:45 am

1:00 - 3:00 pm
Program Tracks: Associate Member, Interdisciplinary
Therapy
Moderator: Robert A. Faiella
Speakers: Bobby L. Butler, Greggory A. Kinzer,
Ward M. Smalley
Each day, dentists are faced with helping patients resolve
complex cosmetic dental problems. The demand for an
esthetic as well as functional solution has elevated the
level of care over the past two decades to meet our
patient’s expectations. The interdisciplinary team
composed of the restorative dentist, periodontist,
orthodontist, endodontist and oral surgeon can provide
the necessary expertise to solve complex dilemmas. The
knowledge and skill of the “team” can properly diagnose
and treat these cases, provided the coordination and
sequence of treatment is understood. The attendee will
understand which dental cases should involve certain
specialty team members, and how to sequence their care.
Specific cases involving a combination of comprehensive
orthodontics cosmetic crown lengthening, gingival
augmentation, ridge augmentation and esthetic implant
placement will be shown. Patient cases will involve
multiple team members and difficult clinical problems.
Educational Objectives:
- Recognize which cases would benefit from the interdisciplinary team.
- Demonstrate that the quality and experience level of specialty care contributes to the level of successful outcomes.
- Understand how various procedures such as orthodontic site development, implant anchorage, periodontal crown lengthening, gingival augmentation and prosthetic provisional restorations may be required to optimize esthetic outcomes.
