Dugoni School of Dentistry is proud to sponsor the 59th Annual Colonel Allyn D. Burke Memorial Dental Symposium. Named in honor of Colonel Allyn D. Burke, a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons (now the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry), this annual dental symposium showcases excellence in continuing dental education and continues to honor the long-standing affiliation between military and non-military dental professionals throughout the United States. Monterey Conference Center Monterey, CA Austin Davies, DDS Paul Subar, DDS, EdD Chandur Wadhwani, DDS, MSD Day 1: Friday, June 7 7 Habits for Highly Successful Implant Restorations Chandur Wadhwani, DDS, MSD Dental implants appear to be simple to restore. However, the details of how implants are connected and what materials are used all add to the risks of failure. It is estimated that 28-52% of dental implants will lead to peri-implantitis and a major cause is the restorative treatment. This science-based lecture explores the details of how to best restore dental implants today, minimizing risks and improving success. Dr. Wadhwani will discuss the latest university-based research on what to use and why. You will learn concepts, techniques and smart clinical tricks to improve everything about implant restorations. You will also be shown how to monitor the implant site and what to do if the implant prosthesis or the implant starts to fail. All concepts will be evidence-based and the underlying research will be presented. You Will Learn To prevent complications of cemented implant restorations To minimize the issue of preload and screw loosening To correctly assess implant stability How titanium can be optimized to improve biological responses To understand evidence-based clinical concepts and techniques to improve the aesthetics and health of dental implants To monitor the implant site and manage the warning signs of implant prosthesis and implant failure Chandur Wadhwani, DDS, MSD, received a BDS with honors from University College London and a master’s degree with a certificate in prosthodontics from University of Washington (UW). Currently, he is in full-time private practice limited to prosthodontics in Bellevue, WA. He is an affiliate assistant professor in prosthodontics at UW and LLU as well as an associate professor in periodontics at OHSU. He conducts research with multiple groups directed towards best clinical practices. He lectures internationally and was awarded the prestigious Distinguished Lecturer Award by the American College of Prosthodontics, as well as the Academy of Osseointegration Innovations Award. He has authored more than 100 articles and has written chapters in multiple textbooks. Day 2: Saturday, June 8 The Practice of Surgical Pathology Relating to Oral Care: Past, Present and Future Austin Davies, DDS, MS For most dental professionals, the practice of pathology ends at specimen submission—a bottle with tissue gets mailed off and a report comes back. But, more than 150 years of innovation, technology and research has led to outstanding changes in this field. What goes on between submission and report, how did we get here and where are we going? This lecture takes the dental practitioner through the past, current and future states of pathology—all of which have practical implications for your patients. Dr. Davies will discuss the history of this dental specialty with techniques to improve patient care, current applications of surgical pathology for dental patients and future advances that are of importance to healthcare providers. You Will Learn To integrate treatment approaches that lead to exceptional surgical pathology specimens To identify diagnostic techniques for clinical pathology patients To present contemporary testing methods for patients with head and neck cancers To understand the future of surgical pathology and how it will relate to your patients Austin Davies, DDS, MS, is an assistant professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Dugoni School of Dentistry. A fellow of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, a board-certified pathologist and a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, he lectures to study clubs, dental organizations and oral surgery residents throughout the western United States. Prior to returning to San Francisco, Dr. Davies was in private practice for seven years as lab director. Medical Implications in Dentistry: How Aging, Pharmacology and Head and Neck Radiation Treatment Affects Oral Health Paul Subar, DDS, EdD Advances in medicine have increased the life expectancy of patients with complex medical conditions. As a result, dentists are observing an increase in the number of patients visiting their offices for routine care. Because of these trends, it is important that members of the oral healthcare team develop foundational knowledge for the care of these special populations. This lecture will provide attendees with information on aging, pharmacology and the treatment of head and neck cancer that may be encountered in patients with complex medical conditions. This will ultimately aid the clinician in developing appropriate treatment plans and continuing care regimes that best serve their patients. You Will Learn To understand the physiological changes that occur in dental patients as they age To recognize important medical implications of the medications you prescribe for aging dental patients To list commonly prescribed drugs for the elderly and their adverse reactions To understand the importance of evaluating the aging patient To describe the effects of radiation therapy on oral tissues To interpret radiation therapy’s impact on dental treatment planning To identify risk factors for the development of osteoradionecrosis Paul Subar, DDS, EdD, is a tenured professor, chair of the Department of Diagnostic Sciences and director of the Special Care Clinic/Hospital Dentistry program at the Dugoni School of Dentistry. His primary interest is in access to oral health for patients with special needs, including those with severe medical, developmental and psychosocial conditions. He is the first recipient of the CDA Foundation’s Arthur A. Dugoni Faculty Award and a graduate of the ADEA Leadership Institute. He received his DDS from UCLA and completed his hospital training at the UCLA Medical Center. He also holds a doctorate in education and professional leadership from Pacific’s Gladys L.
