8:00AM – 8:45AM |
The Role of Nutrition in Healing of Maxillofacial SurgeryDr. Teresa Biggerstaff Session Overview: Bone grafting and soft tissue grafting has become more and more sophisticated over time due to the innovative development and use of biomaterials. These regenerative procedures allow for dental rehabilitation utilizing dental implants. Careful patient selection, surgical technique and selection of appropriate biomaterials and sound functional design are the foundational principles of predictable outcomes. But sometimes, even when all of these guiding principles are followed, we still see failure of the regenerative procedure or failure of the dental implant. Increasing evidence suggests that a lack of certain micronutrients may contribute to these failures. We will review the effects of micronutrients on bone health, bone grafting, periodontal health, soft tissue healing, implant osseointegration and immune regulation and discuss strategies to optimize serum levels of micronutrients to prepare for regenerative procedures. As our society continues to rely more and more on processed foods and fast foods that are less nutrient dense, we are seeing an increase in micronutrient deficiencies, especially in our patients who are more advanced in age. These patients who are advanced in age also tend to be the ones most commonly seeking dental rehabilitation with dental implants. Learning Objectives:
Teresa Biggerstaff, DDS, MD is an oral and facial surgeon in private practice in Kernersville, North Carolina. She is fellowship trained in facial cosmetic surgery and she operates a busy, full-scope oral and facial surgery practice and medical spa. She serves in leadership positions in state and regional Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon societies. She also serves as a senior clinical mentor in the Osteo Science Foundation Clinical Observership Program. |
8:45AM – 9:30AM |
Using Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for Orthognathic SurgeryDr. Mark A. Green Session Overview: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are evidence-based, patient-centered, and multidisciplinary team approaches to optimizing surgical recovery. We explore the various preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative interventions to improve patient outcomes, reduce complications and accelerate patient recovery after orthognathic surgery. Learning Objectives:
Mark A. Green is a Clinical Instructor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Boston Children’s Hospital. His clinical interests include orthognathic surgery, pediatric pathology, and bone grafting/dental implants in patients with cleft and craniofacial conditions. |
9:30AM – 10:00AM |
Question & AnswerFollowing the conclusion of both sessions, a Moderator will conduct a question and answer opportunity and present additional cases surrounding complications. About the Moderator (Coming Soon) |
