GS3: UNDERSTANDING SUCCESS AND FAILURE
IN PERIODONTAL REGENERATION 
8:00 - 10:00 am
Program Track: Regeneration/Tissue Engineering
Moderator: Myron Nevins
Speakers: Pamela K. McClain, Paul S. Rosen,
Maurizio Tonetti
Successful regenerative treatment for teeth with
angular osseous defects can be more predictable
today than in the past. We have at our disposal a
stronger evidence-based understanding of the factors
that contribute to success and failure. The materials
that have demonstrated regenerative capability continue
to increase, and the burgeoning area of biologic agents
makes the future of regeneration seem brighter than
ever. Despite this positive outlook, failures still occur,
and we are faced with the unenviable challenge of
managing these patients.
Educational Objectives:
- Present successful evidence-based algorithms to manage the intrabony lesion.
- Discuss the bone graft materials preferred for predictable regeneration, and how a combined approach with barriers increases predictable success.
- Review where biologic agents may fit into the regeneration of teeth.

Jeffrey R. Thomas, Steven S. Wallace
The use of the piezoelectric handpiece has become an
essential part of clinical practice for performing stateof-
the-art periodontal and implant procedures. The
recent upsurge in piezo use relates to both reducing the
complication rate of some of the more technique- sensitive
procedures, along with good basic science research
supporting its positive role in wound healing. This session
will present the positive impact of piezoelectric surgery on
tooth extractions, ridge contouring, ridge expansion, sinus
augmentation and implant osteotomy preparation
techniques. The speakers will review how intra-operative
complications such as nerve damage, intra-operative
bleeding and sinus membrane perforation can be obviated.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the technology of piezoelectric surgery and the armamentarium available.
- Discuss the various piezoelectric surgical techniques.
- Demonstrate how piezoelectric techniques can reduce intra-operative complications.
FCE9: 3RD GENERATION NUTRITION AND
PERIODONTAL DISEASE 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Periodontal-Systemic Relationships
Moderator: Roberta L. Shaklee
Speaker: Kenneth S. Kornman
Recent studies show that specific nutrients have
powerful effects on inflammatory mechanisms,
raising the potential for nutritional approaches to
the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as
periodontitis. This presentation will discuss the new
science of 3rd generation nutrition, and how it is being
applied to enhance management of periodontitis.
Educational Objectives:
- Understand the characteristics of 3rd generation nutrition, and how it differs from traditional concepts of nutrition and disease.
- Learn how 3rd generation nutrients interact with an individual’s genetics to determine health benefits.
- Discuss applications of 3rd generation nutrition to periodontal disease prevention and treatment.

ADVANCED PERIODONTAL PATIENT 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Interdisciplinary Therapy
Moderator: Roger J. Wise
Speaker: Maurice A. Salama
Treatment of the advanced periodontal patient can be
one of the most challenging case types. Bacterial and
genetic testing have become part of initial diagnostics,
followed by inflammatory control, and only then,
regenerative periodontal therapies prior to occlusally-
“controlled” orthodontic treatment. Team-oriented
treatment planning and sequencing of therapy will
similarly be emphasized.
Educational Objectives:
- Learn the importance of periodontal diagnosis in case planning.
- Understand the potential of “controlled” orthodontic treatment in advanced periodontal patients.
- Appreciate the importance of proper sequence of treatment on case success.

Moderator: Cecil White, Jr.
Speaker: Myron Nevins
The treatment of multi-rooted teeth demonstrating
inter-radicular loss of the periodontium continues to
present a significant challenge. The application of the
principles of tissue engineering has been applied to
the treatment of class-11 furcations with predictable
success, but there is still the need to consider
osseointegration as an alternative. This program
will explore the decision-making process for both
treatment modalities.
Educational Objectives:
- Learn to develop an accurate classification, diagnosis and prognosis for teeth with furcation involvement.
- Discuss the principles of tissue engineering and biometric parameters of growth factors.
- Understand the decision-making algorithm associated with treatment of the diseased furcation vs. osseointegration.
FCE15: NARROW DIAMETER IMPLANTS:
EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF YOUR PRACTICE 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Implants
Moderator: Michael S. Reddy
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,
providing 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 offered.
Educational Objectives:
- Become familiar with the armamentarium, surgical placement and provisionalization of NDIs in areas of limited-spaced, atrophic bone.
- Learn the advantages of using NDIs with screwretained restorations for ease of retrievability.
- Understand the variety of ridge augmentation procedures (block grafts, GBR, allograft blocks) where employing NDIs facilitated success.
FCE16: TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING
SINUS COMPLICATIONS 
10:15 - 11:45 am
Program Track: Implants
Moderator: John D. Moriarty
Speaker: Paul A. Fugazzotto
The advent of newer armentaria, materials and
techniques has greatly simplified augmentation of the
posterior maxilla. However, potential short- and longterm
post-therapeutic complications remain a concern.

GS4: LONG-TERM HARD AND SOFT TISSUE
STABILITY 
2:00 - 4:00 pm
Program Track: Implants
Moderator: Robert A. Faiella
Speakers: Urs C. Belser, Steven E. Eckert, Ueli Grunder
Long-term clinical performance with implants relies on
maintaining the stability of both the soft and hard tissues.
Many factors can impact this, including implant surface
topography, the abutment-implant interface, implant
positioning/placement, soft and hard tissue management
along with prosthesis design and execution. Today, the
clinician attempts to achieve outcomes that will maintain
long-term stability with materials and concepts that
continue to evolve. Clinicians need to make informed
decisions based upon the existing evidence, and try to
apply this to the clinical situation at hand.
Educational Objectives:
- Discuss the lab technician’s perspective on how to achieve long-term success based upon implant positioning or malpositioning.
- Understand the long-term clinical performance of machined- and surface-modified implants.
- Review emerging information on how the abutment implant interface will impact success.
