Symposium Course
Description and
Objectives

The thirty-fourth Hinds Symposium will focus on an area of importance and interest to the oral and maxillofacial surgery practitioner.

This year’s symposium brings together cutting edge practitioners in digital dentistry with a focus on the management of complex edentulism. The speakers will highlight important concepts and recent developments in the field. Presentations will describe changes to traditional analogue techniques, the technological advances made in diagnosis and treatment planning, and special devices and techniques to address the surgical management of difficult cases.

Upon completion of this activity, the learner should be able to:

  • Review the digital technology available for the diagnosis and treatment planning of patients with partial or complete edentulism.
  • Describe different techniques for the prosthetic and skeletal reconstruction of segmental defects of the jaws.
  • Outline non-alveolar sites for the placement of dental implants in severely atrophic jaws.
  • Describe proper patient selection and surgical and prosthodontic applications of novel sub-periosteal implant devices in the management of severely atrophic jaws and patients with jaw defects from pathology or trauma.
