Fellowship awardees become clinicians who are educated in multidisciplinary subject areas.
We invite you to embark on this journey with us. We believe in your ability to obtain your Fellowship and are excited to enable you to achieve your potential.
8 CE Participation – AGD subject code 310 (Oral Surgery) With: Robert J. Miller DDS, FACD, DABOI
Description: Indications and usage of PRP/PRF in grafting and implant dentistry.
Hands-on course involving venipuncture/phlebotomy and use of the centrifuge.
Course Objectives:
Enhance your bone grafting results by using L-PRF (Leukocyte-and Platelet-Rich Fibrin).
Clinically, L-PRF is an outstanding material to work with as it is resilient, strong, supple and pliable. It is also easy to manipulate, place and suture. When formed, it can be trimmed to proper size for placement into specific anatomical sites.
L-PRF is an ideal carrier for bone material. When incorporated into the fibrin clot, the particulate biomaterial is suspended in the fibrin matrix. This dramatically enhances the handling characteristics of the graft.
Periodontists, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, Prosthodontists and General Practitioners placing implants have all praised the clinical efficacy of L-PRF when used for the treatment of ridge defects, extraction sockets, sinus grafts and extraction/immediate implant placement.
Instructor Bio:
Dr. Miller received his B.A. from New York University and M.A. from Hofstra University, both in biology. He graduated with honors from New York University College of Dentistry in 1981 where he received the International College of Dentists Award for clinical excellence and then completed his residency at Flushing Medical Center in New York City.
Dr. Miller is a Fellow American College of Dentists, Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology, Honored Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Diplomate International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Fellow Academy of Osseointegration, and is the acting Chairman of the Department of Oral Implantology at the Atlantic Coast Dental Research Clinic in Palm Beach, Florida.
He is Director of The Center for Advanced Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry in Delray Beach, Florida, and Co-Director of the Pacific Institute for Advanced Dental Education.
Dr. Miller has a full-time practice dedicated to Implant Dentistry and revision surgery and has an active international lecture schedule as well as being engaged in biomaterial, laser, and implant research.
Guided Bone Regeneration or “GBR” as commonly referred, is a technique based on the theory of guided tissue regeneration and most often used in conjunction with dental implant placement. The goal of a successful GBR is to augment alveolar ridge defects in an effort to enhance the functional and esthetic outcome of implant-supported restorations.
Guided Bone Regeneration is a procedure that utilizes barrier membranes to promote bone growth at sites with an insufficient volume of bone. There are several common situations in which GBR is extremely useful for short and long-term healing success, such as after the removal of an impacted tooth or a root. But for the clinician it is most commonly used to aid the growth of bone around a fresh implant site or to prepare an extracted socket for future implant placement.
Course Objectives:
Recognize clinical indications for guided bone procedure.
Understand the biological principles for guided bone procedure.
Explore the latest techniques and materials available.
Understand the rational of socket regeneration and preservation.
Instructor Bio:
Dr. Neema Bakhshalian is specialized in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. He earned his DDS degree in 2005, and subsequently earned his PhD degree from the Florida State University with a focus on Bone Biology. With his background in tissue engineering, he started his residency program in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry at the University of Southern California in 2011. He is currently teaching Periodontology full time at the University of Southern California while maintaining an evidence-based state-of the art practice.
