Allied Staff Program
The Allied Staff Program consists of two full days on Thursday and Friday with two half-day programs presented exclusively for allied staff – the key members of the dental team.
New Trends, Techniques and Technology Sponsored Lectures
Wednesday’s New Trends, Techniques, and Technology forum includes presentations given by esteemed clinicians representing our corporate partners. New and innovative information will be presented on novel implant designs, immediate loading, virtual guided surgery, Cad-Cam generated prosthetics, predictable use of short implants, and much, much more.

Main Podium Presentations
Main Podium presentations are open to all attendees and feature world-class experts taking you beyond boundaries in several areas of implant dentistry. On Thursday, we will “Break the Barriers in Implant Surgery” and “Raise the Bar in Implant Prosthodontics.” Live surgery will highlight the conference on Friday via high speed internet streaming from the operating suites of Loma Linda University. Later that afternoon, we will “Confront the Challenging Issue of Innovation” and debate current controversies in implant dentistry. The Main Podium programs culminate on Saturday as we “Think Beyond Boundaries."
Program For Dentists New To Implants
Regardless of your experience in dentistry, adding implant dentistry to your practice presents many challenges. What are the various implant systems and how to choose those for your practice? How to select cases that will be successful? What are the surgical and restoration concerns? Where to obtain the best training? This hands-on course is more than an introduction. It is a mentoring opportunity that will help you make the right decision about adding implants to your practice. The cost of $95 ($115 after September 15, 2008) includes admission to the Implant World Expo on Thursday afternoon.
Lunch and Learn Sessions
Lunch and Learn Sessions are limited to eight participants at each table. The cost is $80 ($95 after September 15, 2008). A Lunch and Learn provides an up close and personal opportunity to interact with a world class expert on a topic. Ask questions, interact with your peers, and learn from the best. These sessions fill up quickly so be certain to register early and indicate your top four choices.
