The Diode Lasers in Peri-Implantitis Therapy: Antimicrobial and Bio Stimulating Effects
THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2022 | 7:30 PM – 8:05 PM
Sebastiano Andreana, DDS, MS The State University of New York, University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine | Buffalo, New York, USA
The presentation will focus on the clinical applications of 810-980 nm diode laser wavelengths for therapy of peri-implantitis. Diode lasers are used with dual purposes, for their antimicrobial effects and their biostimulating effects. This lecture will show the techniques with clinical cases, focusing on the safety of the procedures, and supporting the procedures with findings from laboratory studies. The antimicrobial effects will be presented, with data from laboratory and published studies, and the biostimulating effects, including regenerative effects and enhancement of host-response with a protective role will be also elucidated.

The Use of Photobiomodulation to Aid Healing After Surgery
TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2022| 8:05 PM – 8:40 PM
James Carroll, AMInstP, FRSM
THOR Photomedicine Ltd, Chesham | Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the application of low-intensity monochromatic light (usually in the red and near-infrared spectrum) to aid healing and relieve pain. This light is absorbed in mitochondrial enzymes and leads to improved adenosine triphospate (ATP) production and reduced oxidative stress in acute injuries or degenerative pathology. One of the most important pathways appears to be through the gene transcription factor NF-κβ (sometimes known as the “master switch for inflammation”). PBM changes NF-κβ from a cytokine-producing enzyme to an initiator of tissue regeneration. There is a dose and a dose rate effect. If not enough light is applied, there is no effect; and even if the right amount of light is applied but applied too quickly, then the effects may not appear at all, or are diminished. An introduction to the science and clinical use of PBM, a short introduction to the mechanism of action, and evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
Note: This presentation discusses investigational devices that have not yet received U.S. FDA approval or clearance for the specified clinical indications, or describes off-label uses.

Removal of a dental implant can be a catastrophic experience for both the clinician and the patient. Clinicians can prevent loss of implants with innovative chairside techniques to reverse implant mucositis and manage peri-implantitis. Minimally invasive laser surgical intervention can degranulate, decontaminate, and decorticate target tissues and surfaces. Long-term implant survival can depend on quality prevention, treatment and maintenance. The dental team can have successful systems and tools to enhance longevity and implant health.

Treatment of Peri-Implantitis Utilizing UVC Lasers
THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2022 | 7:30 PM – 8:05 PM
Robert Miller, MA, DDS, FACD, FAAID, DABOI/ID
Private Practice | Jefferson, Oregon, USA
The occurrence of peri-implantitis is growing at an exponential rate commensurate with the numbers of implants being placed worldwide. Treatment of peri-implantitis can be very refractory with failures related to changes within the titanium oxide or zirconia oxide surface. Inorganic and organic contamination of the implant surface can reduce hydrophilicity of the implant surface, resulting in poor fibrin adhesion and lowered percentage of bone-to-implant contact. Photofunctionalization (PFL) can reverse the degradation of the implant surface, restoring hydrophilicity and enhancing fibrin adhesion. PFL can be used preoperatively on implants or postoperatively on implant abutments to enhance tissue adhesion to the transmucosal components. PFL can be used to remove organic and inorganic contamination of the implant body prior to regenerative procedures.
Learning Objectives:
Note: This presentation discusses investigational devices that have not yet received U.S. FDA approval or clearance for the specified clinical indications, or described off-labels uses.
Biography Dr. Robert Miller received his BA from New York University and MA from Hofstra University in New York, both in biology.

Nierman Practice Management | Tequesta, Florida, USA
Many services performed in the dental office are being recognized as medically necessary and billable to health insurance plans and policies. Dental practices are recognizing the significant benefits to offering medical insurance reimbursement such as increased case acceptance, expanded referral networks, and increased revenue. Dental practices that utilize the patient’s medical insurance are maximizing the patient’s benefits, thus providing access to much-needed care. In this presentation, attendees will learn how to incorporate cross-coding and medical billing into their office. Discussion will include services procedures such as bone grafts, implants, peri-implantitis, mucositis and the use of laser technology.
Learning Objectives:
