Academy of General Dentistry Leaders Head to Capitol Hill in May
AGD leaders met in Washington, DC, recently to address legislative issues impacting dentistry and ways to protect oral health care. As part of the two-day event, about 30 general dentists representing AGD meet with lawmakers on legislative issues impacting their profession and how patient care is delivered to dental patients.
AGD Statement on American Medical Association’s Approval of a New Category III CPT Code
The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is concerned that the American Medical Association’s (AMA) recent decision to allow non-dental health care workers to administer silver diamine fluoride is a temporary solution to a growing oral health crisis.

Ryan S. Kang, DMD, MS, ABGD
Subject: 690 Implants
Credits: 1
Method: Lecture

Description
Dental implant therapy in the anterior and posterior regions presents unique challenges to clinicians trying to achieve ideal esthetic and biologic results. In the past, implant surgery was performed wherever the patient’s anatomy allowed an implant to be placed. This strategy led to unpredictable outcomes and challenging restorative scenarios that did not meet patients’ high expectations. Many strategies have since been developed to reduce the variability and unpredictability of implant therapy and the final prosthetic outcome. The biggest paradigm shift is restorative-driven planning and the use of implant surgical guides. This shift has opened up the possibility of treating esthetic regions with high predictability. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate one such strategy.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the benefit of digital presurgical planning and fully guided implant surgery.
- Understand the benefit of prefabricating an implant temporary “shell” crown vs. the traditional “injection mold” technique.
- Learn what patient data is required to digitally plan, design and fabricate surgical guides and pre-indexed temporaries.
