LOS ANGELES, U.S.: For the first time in its history, the Academy of Osseointegration (AO) will be hosting its annual meeting in Los Angeles. Shining the spotlight on all the customary components, as well as new and interactive features, the event is intended to offer a place where specialists, general practitioners, laboratory technicians and dental hygienists can share their knowledge across a global network. The main conference program will run from March 1 to 3, with pre-congress courses and workshops being offered on Feb. 28.

Being held under the theme “Inspiring imagination—Enhancing health,” the event will be a reflection on how dental implant treatment affects health care, while also looking into future treatment concepts and modalities. With globally distinguished speakers taking part in lively discussions, the event’s reputation for being a premier multidisciplinary nexus for implant dentistry will once again be highlighted, according to the organizers.

In the afternoon session on the opening day, Dr. Harold Slavkin will be discussing personal health care and the future of implant dentistry, and Dr. Stephen Chen will shed light on socket wound-healing concepts. Following that, Dr. Matteo Chiapasco will share his tips on dealing with difficult maxillary sinus grafts. Finally, the prominent team of Drs. Markus Hürzeler and Otto Zuhr will wrap the afternoon up by looking at ideas, innovations and discoveries in implant dentistry over the years and determine which of these has stood the test of time.

With such a wide range of speakers, workshops and learning opportunities all bringing into focus critical areas of dentistry, the organizers believe this conference is an essential event for dental professionals across all areas interested in learning the newest techniques, observing demonstrations of the latest technologies and engaging about current issues affecting implant dentistry.
