2005 AAOMS DENTAL IMPLANT CONFERENCE
The 2005 AAOMS Dental Implant Conference will convene December 2-3 in Chicago, IL. Friday’s major session is devoted to Treatment of Clinical Challenges, with afternoon concurrent breakout sessions offering a more concentrated and technical look at various facets of dental implant placement and treatment. Saturday turns its focus to the latest technology in implant design and placement, immediate loading, and discussion of medicolegal issues. An exhibition, featuring over 80 manufacturers and providers of the latest services and equipment for today’s busy oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, complements the conference. Beverage breaks and lunches are scheduled in the exhibit hall each day. In addition, a reception will be held in the hall on Friday evening from 4:30 to 6:00 PM.
