Workshop #3- Update and New Strategies on Treatment of Patients with Bisphosphonates (Limited attendance: 45)
Attendance: A limit of 45 participants accepted, based on date of workshop registration payment

Workshop fee: $135

Instructors:

Pit Voss- Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Freiburg, Germany Marcus Heufelder- Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Ulm, Germany

Dr. Voss and Dr. Heufelder are members of the scientific task force “BP-ONJ” of the German-Austrian-Suisse Organization for the Investigation of Tumors in the Head and Neck Area

Description: Since the first description in 2003, BP-ONJ is a growing clinical problem. Even though an increasing number of case reports and articles has been published, a clinical standard has not been established. This workshop will discuss the relevant literature with special regard to imaging and prophylaxis and give an update of successful treatment concepts.  A wide selection of cases will provide a close clinical relation.

Instructional Level: Lecture and demonstrations

Course Objectives:
Indications of Different Imaging Modalities
Management of at Risk Patients
Management of Patients with BP-ONJ

Workshop #4- An Exploration of Digital Technologies in Facial Prosthetic Rehabilitation (Limited attendance: 20)
 Attendance: A limit of 20 participants accepted, based on date of workshop registration payment

Workshop fee: $135

Instructors:

Ms. Rosemary Seelaus- Senior Anaplastologist at The Craniofacial Center, University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. Mr. Peter Evans- Consultant in Maxillofacial Prosthetics  at Morriston Hospital, Welsh Centre for Burns Plastics and Maxillofacial Surgery, Swansea.
Dr. Dominic Eggbeer- Research Officer and Head of the Medical Applications Group at PDR.  University of Wales Institute Cardiff, Wales Mr. Ben King- Industrial Designer at iRSM, Edmonton, Alberta.
 
Mr. Andrew Grosvenor- Maxillofacial Prosthetist and Technologist at iRSM, Edmonton, Alberta.  
Description: Technology in the 21st Century continues to bring amazing advances in healthcare.  Wider availability of graphic computing and CAD CAM technologies is enabling better and faster treatment for patients that require prosthetic rehabilitation. To the practitioner, the array of constantly evolving technologies can seem bewildering; this information session is aimed at clinical and technical practitioners with limited knowledge regarding the integration of digital technologies within facial prosthetic rehabilitation. This session will serve as an introduction to the continuing professional development workshop series ‘3D Modeling for Medical Applications’ provided at the Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine (iRSM).

Instructional Level: Lectures and demonstrations

Course Objectives: Introduction to the continuing professional development of 3D Modeling for Medical Applications

Description: Designed to familiarize the clinician with new approaches in imaging and rapid prototyping, this workshop will present use of this technology in treatment planning, impression techniques, fabrication of surgical guides, and custom implants for head and neck reconstructions with an emphasis as to how to make this technology accessible to your routine practice.

Instructional Level: Lectures and demonstrations

Course Objectives: Familiarize the clinician with new approaches in imaging and rapid prototyping

Attendance: A limit of 20-30 participants accepted, based on date of workshop registration payment

Workshop fee: $135


Instructors:

Ralf Gutwald- Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Freiburg, Germany Pascal Tomakidi- Department of Oral Biotechnology, University Hospital Freiburg, Germany

Description: This Workshop will demonstrate research tools for Tissue Engineering. The first issue addresses the cell types including their immortalization and their establishment and characterization of tissue-specific biomarkers in conventional monolayer and interactive coculture cell systems as well. Further, examples for applications of the cell systems in clinically-oriented basic research, such as cell and tissue compatibility of materials or testing of biomaterials as cell culture matrix will be given. The second issue deals with the extracellular environment and its biomechanics in particular, and shows that the micropatterns of cell adhesion points and the environmental elasticity govern cell behavior. Issue three points to putative Biomimetic concepts for materials, e.g. by their bioactivation with tissue-relevant matrix molecules and growth factors. The last issue offers insides in progress, applications and limits of 3-Dimensional Constructs and Bioplotting.

Instructional Level: Lectures and demonstrations

Course Objectives:

  • Basic and current clinical use of Tissue Engineering
  • Research options
  • Demonstration of Biomimetic and Bioactivation strategies
  • Progress, applications and limits of 3D-Constructs and Bioplotting
