Mark W. Ochs, DMD, MD

Technologic Advances in Implant Surgery: Pixels, Proteins and Planning



 

 

 

Abstract, Learning Objectives and Bio

Abstract

 

Advances in imaging, virtual planning and biologics allow us to more accurately define the condition and develop personalized plans and modalities to achieve better outcomes.  Focus will be on replacing what has been taken away by trauma or disease and to regenerate what was never there to begin with.

Learning Objectives

 

At the completion of the presentation the participant will be able to:

  • Adequately evaluate and treatment plan all types of alveolar ridge defects and developmental facial deformities.
  • Formulate a sequential operative and restorative driven treatment plan to address the missing tissues and appreciate critical prosthetic parameters.
  • Identify ridges and anatomic situations where bone grafting or tissue regeneration is indicated, then proceed with an appropriate procedure and select biologics to achieve successful augmentation.
  • Utilize various surgical guides and adjunctive measures to accurately place implants in an optimal position for the restoring dental colleague.
Mark W. Ochs, DMD, MD

Sean P. Edwards, DDS, MD

Hard and Soft Tissue Engineering for Large Composite Defects




 

 

 

Abstract, Learning Objectives and Bio
Abstract

 

Modern reconstructive techniques have evolved tremendously over the past century yet limitations remain when dealing with the complex three dimensional anatomy of the face and the tremendous functional demands placed on these facial parts. Composite defects, those comprising both hard and soft tissue, are particularly challenging. Regenerative medicine techniques may one day solve these difficult reconstructive challenges through a variety of approaches. This lecture will provide an overview of the current state of reconstructive surgery, its limitations and provide an update on contemporary regenerative medicine efforts to solve them. 

Learning Objectives
  • Understand the current state of reconstruction for large facial defects and its limitations
  • Overview of current tissue engineering efforts for management of composite tissue defects
  • Be aware of future directions for customized composite tissue reconstructions

James Hayward Endowed Clinical Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Clinical Associate Professor of Dentistry

 

Chief of Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital 

University of Michigan

 

Dr. Edwards received his dental degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He then came to the University of Michigan where he completed his medical degree and residency training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. He then completed fellowship training in pediatric cleft and craniofacial surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. A second fellowship in head and neck oncologic surgery and microvascular surgery brought him back to the University of Michigan where he has since remained as faculty. Professionally, Dr. Edwards is the Chief of Pediatric Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and the residency program director. His research has focused on cleft and craniofacial care and sleep disorders, their genesis and treatment. Dr. Edwards serves on many regional, national and international committees, has served as a section editor for the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and reviews for many journals. Academic and surgical interests include orthognathic surgery, facial trauma, bone grafting/reconstruction and implants.
