Think it. Test it. Build it. Prosthodontic Principles for Implant Treatments
Presented by Dr. Amit Punj
Implant success depends not only on osseointegration, but also on whether the definitive prosthesis is esthetic, functional, hygienic, and maintainable. This presentation will cover how the synergy between surgery and prosthodontics leads to better outcomes
Course Objectives:
• Recall treatment planning principles for full-arch implant treatment
• Explain the value of provisional restoration
• Evaluate various dental materials for definitive implant-supported restorations
Little Patients, Large Responsibilities: A Comprehensive Approach to Pediatric Anesthesia in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Office
Presented by Dr. David Beanland
Treating children in the OMS office setting requires unique clinical, behavioral, and pharmacological strategies. It requires your team to embrace a systematic approach to the anesthesia model you provide.
This session equips the OMS and their surgical teams with the knowledge needed to safely navigate pediatric anesthesia. Cases will be shown to demonstrate how
New England OMS uses a specific anesthesia protocol and system to provide general anesthesia to hundreds of children each year. Participants will explore the anatomical and physiological differences that make pediatric patients distinct from adults. The presentation
covers pre-operative risk assessment, patient selection criteria, and tailored anesthesia regimens for multiple situations. Attendees will also learn to optimize the surgical environment to reduce pediatric anxiety and improve cooperation. The session also reviews management protocols for anesthesia-related emergencies.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
· Implement a specific approach to the pediatric patient and anesthesia tailored for your office and team.
· Identify key pediatric anatomical and physiological variations affecting airway management.
· Evaluate pediatric patients using standardized pre-operative screening and risk assessment tools, as well as your “experienced based tools”. The “look from the door” matters greatly.
· Manage acute pediatric anesthesia complications, including laryngospasm, bradycardia and respiratory depression.
