AEGD takes first and third place awards at annual ODA meeting
AEGD residents were awarded first and third place in the table clinic competition at the Ohio Dental Association (ODA) annual session held in Columbus OH. Mohamad Othman, Abdulaziz Al-zahrani, and Steve Wang won first place for “Rationale for Socket Preservation in Implant Dentistry,” their project showing that socket preservation procedures at the time of tooth extraction improve the prognosis regarding maintenance of the width and height of remaining bone. Also socket preservation can lead to more successful implant-supported restorations, with reduced treatment time overall. Joe Merci and William Chin were awarded third place for their presentation, “Stretching Bone to Allow Dental Implant Placement Increase Alveolar Bone Height Using Distraction Osteogenesis (DO),” where Drs. Merci and Chin reviewed the current literature on Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) with different types of DO devices available today and compared them to conventional methods used in gaining bone. DO showed more bone gain on average and a higher success rate when compared to other methods.
