ADVENTURE & LEARNHAWAII 2017
The Hammer and the Nail: A two part series on the current developments in Oral Implantology.Dr. William Liang
Day 1 - The NailEvolution of dental implants. This will be an entertaining and informative presentation on the evolution of dental implants and the current dominance of the root form dental implants. We will examine the evolution of designs and bio-material for this application as well as take a brief look into the future of implant biomaterials.
Day 2 - The HammerMuch of our current successes in oral implantology revolves around our improved understanding of human physiology, biomaterials and surgical techniques. This presentation will look at some of the factors that have contributed to our improved success and examine some future possibilities. As well, we will consider the limitations of Oral Implantology and the ethical challenges they present.
“ The problem is that you give someone a hammer and everything becomes a nail” — Charles Shuler.

The role of dentists in a sleepy world Oral Appliances: the good and bad newsDr. Fernanda Almeida Efficacy of Dental Appliances in the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)objectives:• Discuss the basics of sleep• Describe the Efficacy of Dental Appliances in the
Treatment of OSA• Understand the differences between oral appliances
types and their uses
This session will focus on oral appliance efficacy for snoring and sleep apnea patients. In the last 15 years there has been an increased concern regarding sleep apnea and its consequences on overall health. It is well know that the most efficacious treatment for sleep apnea is nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), but because of its cumbersome nature, compliance rates are lower than what physicians would desire. The second best treatment for sleep apnea is oral appliance therapy. There are now many randomized controlled trials focusing on this type of treatment which has a higher compliance rate, and in some characteristics such as control of blood pressure and reducing markers of cardiovascular disease, it has similar efficacy as to nasal CPAP. The data from recent study and treatment outcomes will be discussed. OSA is a chronic disease, the treatments available are not curative and depend on high patient adherence for proper long-term effectiveness. CPAP is more effective in reducing apneas while mandibular advancement splints (MAS) is easier to use with likely higher adherence. Despite these differences, they have shown similar results in improving symptoms such as quality of life, sleepiness and health outcomes as seen for surrogates to cardiovascular disease such as blood pressure, endothelial function and microvascular reactivity. This session will discuss the recent trials assessing the impact of MAS on the cardiovascular system.
The oral appliance field involves many different types of mandibular advancement splints. This session will revise different mechanism of action and efficacy of different oral appliance designs. This session will review tools to help practitioners match therapy to patient preferences which may help identify the most appropriate treatment, with a greater likelihood of adherence
Side Effects of Oral Appliance Therapy and Combination Therapiesobjectives:• Discuss Dental and TMJ Side Effects of Oral Appliance
Therapy• Understand current Canadian Guidelines on Oral
Appliance Therapy• Explore the role of combination therapies.
As a life-long therapy, oral appliance side-effects are an important concern of the clinical practice of Dental Sleep Medicine. Based on the current literature, short and long-term side-effects will be reviewed. The contra-indications of oral appliance therapy related to Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) will be debated together with the consequences on the TMJ related to oral appliance therapy. Dental and occlusal changes due to the use of CPAP therapy will be presented and the clinical relevance of these dental changes to the patient will be debated in the scope of the treatment of this chronic disease; Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Possible new strategies of combination therapy will be presented and the role of multidisciplinary teams will be reviewed.Usually, patients are offered one treatment or the other, but the combination of CPAP and MAS therapies have been poorly discussed. We will discuss a recent publication showing the feasibility of using MAS as an alternative treatment in patients previously established on CPAP who wanted an optional treatment for circumstances such as short trips or camping. Other combination therapies will also be discussed.
Fernanda Almeida DDS, MSc, PhD, received her DDS from the university of Sao Paulo, Brazil and her PhD from the University of British Columbia. She is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Orthodontics in the Faculty of Dentistry at The
University of British Columbia. She also sees patients in a private practice restricted to the treatment of sleep disordered breathing. She has recently been awarded the WW Wood Teaching Award for her outstanding contributions to the educational progress of the undergraduate dental students at UBC. In the field of Dental sleep medicine, she was the recipient of the Pierre Robin Award from the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (2011) and the Meier-Ewert Award from the German Dental Sleep Society (2012) for significant, original and sustained contributions evidenced by publications, and academic appointments and other efforts. Dr. Almeida is associate editor for the journal Sleep & Breathing and Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine and is board certified by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Oral Healthcare for Patients with CancerDr. Charles ShulerNormal oral homeostasis is dramatically altered in patients with cancer and in particular during treatment for cancer. The cancer can alter normal tissue function leading to a physiologic state that alters tissue function and tissue response to stress. Cancer therapy, either radiation or chemotherapy can have a direct pharmacologic effect on the tissue either temporarily or permanently altering tissue function and response to stress. In patients who have had a successful course of treatment for their cancer they are subsequently unable to engage in activities or respond to stimuli that were previously routine. The cancer patient’s dentist needs to consider ways that they can interact in the oral health of the patient and help them achieve an optimum oral physiology. In this presentation the changes that occur in the oral tissues in a patient will be discussed and linked to the disease, the treatment(s) and the sequelae. Ways that a dentist can be proactive to assist their patient with cancer to attain the optimal protection of tissue homeostasis will be introduced. Management of oral complications due to the cancer or the cancer treatment will be presented and ways to moderate the situation for patients discussed. The incidence of cancer in the population is increasing and as the population ages there will be more patients in treatment or surviving cancer. It will be important for dentists to be familiar with the role they can play to help their patients at all stages of the cancer process.
Charles F. Shuler, DMD, PhD is the Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of British Columbia. Prior to UBC he was a faculty member at the University of Southern California for 18 years. At USC he served as the Director of the University
of Southern California Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology holding an endowed chair position as the George and Mary Lou Boone Professor of Craniofacial Molecular Biology. He also served as the Director of the Graduate Program in Craniofacial Biology and the Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs at the USC School of Dentistry. Dr. Shuler received his B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin, his D.M.D. from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, his Ph.D. in Pathology from the University of Chicago and his Oral Pathology specialty education at the University of Minnesota and the Royal Dental College, Copenhagen, Denmark. He has been active in assessing and managing clinical oral pathology patients with soft and hard tissue lesions. He maintains an active research program funded by the United States National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research that is focused on evaluating the molecular regulation of the secondary palate to better understand the etiology of cleft palate birth defects.
