DEAR AMED ATTENDEES,
WAYNE REMINGTON, DDS
President and Program Co-Chair
I am very excited to have the AMED 2014 meeting at the
University of Maryland School of Dentistry in Baltimore, MD.
This culminates a vision I have had for years to include surgical
microscopes in dental curriculum. Whether other dental
schools take to the surgical microscope as a great teaching tool
remains to be seen, but we are bringing the information directly
to a dental school.
Maryland has been visionary in searching out the best for
their school and for dental education- hence their desire
to have the entire perio department trained to use surgical
microscopes several years ago. And they have had
microscopes in their endodontic programs, as have many
other schools, for many years.
ARNOLD SINDLER, DDS
Program Co-Chair
It is fitting that the University of Maryland would be the first
dental school to host such a prestigious and international
continuing education meeting.
Those of you attending will be pleased with the depth and
caliber of the speakers for this year’s meeting.
We welcome you to AMED 2014!

2014 RECIPIENT OF THE:
Outstanding Service Award
DR. JORGE ZAPATA
This year’s recipient of the Outstanding Service award started
his association with AMED as so many have done - with an
introductory hands-on course at an annual meeting. I clearly remember
his enthusiasm in a course given by myself and Glenn van As in
Tuscon, Arizona. His passion for excellence was evident.
His question to me, then remains a statement and question for him to this
day- “Why doesn’t everyone use the microscope?” It is that question in his
mind that has driven him to try all in his power to advance the surgical
microscope as a clinical and teaching tool. It has also driven him to try to
advance AMED in every way possible.
His calm, accepting demeanor is beneficial to engaging others to
work together instead of being divisive. A voice of reason and compassion
is necessary on a board where passions can run high amongst talented
and opinionated members. This compassion does not dilute his high
moral value or ethics, rather, it is enhanced by them.
It is the high moral values and ethics that brings clarity, conviction
and purpose to all the tasks he has done for AMED. None more so than
that as Treasurer of this organization. He has provided completely
transparent accounting for all of us to have faith in the numbers we were
given as being accurate. This accuracy allowed us to use the numbers to
plan effectively.
His clarity of purpose extends from his dedication to his family. It
is evident from anyone who knows him that his family and faith are first
and that all his efforts flow from there. We as his extended AMED family
are the beneficiaries of his efforts. So, it is with great pleasure that we
bestow the Outstanding Service Award to Dr. Jorge Zapata.

Clinical Benefits of a Microsurgical Approach in Periodontal and
Peri-Implant Surgery - New Insights Into Biology of Wound Healing
RINO BURKHARDT, DDS, DMD | 1 CE LECTURE
K E Y N OT E S P E A K E R
Periodontal plastic surgery has developed in the last 25 years and is indicated
to solve functional and/or esthetic problems of the hard and soft tissues of
the oral cavity. A considerable amount of these interventions are technically
very sensitive and therefore, the results may vary a lot. Well investigated
are the regenerative procedures and the coverage of mucosal dehiscences.
The interest of the researchers has mainly been focused on two aspects,
namely on the regenerative materials and products on one side and on novel
surgical approaches and improvements on the other side. Concerning the
latter, it has been shown in other surgical specialties that the use of a surgical
microscope can enhance the clinical outcome and minimize the morbidity of
the patients. Nevertheless, in periodontal and peri-implant surgery, the use of
the microscope has not been established like it has in ophthalmology or vessel
surgery, and the single variables which are responsible for improved results
have never been elucidated in detail. It is the aim of this lecture to present
the indications for the use of a surgical microscope in periodontal and periimplant surgery and to carefully evaluate why there is a benefit for the patients
when treated with a minimally-invasive technique. Illustrated by clinical cases,
the differences between a minimally-invasive approach and a conventional
approach will be shown. Additionally, a new deeper insight into the biology of
wound healing has shown the potential mechanisms which are important for
the better clinical outcomes.
Rino Burkhardt graduated from the University of Zurich and received his doctorate
from the Medical Faculty of the same University. He is an EFP (European Federation of
Periodontology) certified specialist in periodontology and received his Masters degree
from the Medical Faculty of the University of Berne (MAS in Periodontology).
He maintains a private practice in Zurich, limited to periodontology and implantology.
He’s an active member of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (EAED), the
European Association for Osseointegration (EAO), the Swiss Society of Periodontology
(SSP) and Board member of the Swiss Society of Implantology (SGI).

Dental-Labial Harmony Through Cosmetic Dentistry and
Injectables
LAURENCE R. RIFKIN, DDS | 1 CE LECTURE
CONTEXTUALISM IN ARCHITECTURE AND ART IS? “The aesthetic position
that a building or the like should be designed for harmony or a meaningful
relationship with other such elements already existing in the vicinity.” This
ancient Greek philosophy holds true in Aesthetic Dentistry as well. The
execution of this ultimate end goal is built upon the observation of these
elements both micro and macroscopically. We must have the combined vision
and skills to achieve this outcome. Hence, we as dental professionals must
acquire the control of both hard and soft tissues that interact harmoniously
creating a beautiful smile and face. This presentation will address the
diagnosis and treatment of the soft tissue contours of the surrounding lower
face and lip structure to complete the dento-gingival complex. In addition
to aesthetic dentistry, the utilization of neurotoxins and dermal fillers as
injectable solutions to the aging face, soft tissue asymmetries and soft tissue
augmentation will be described with techniques and before and after examples
will be presented.
Dr. Laurence R. Rifkin practices dentistry in Beverly Hills, California, with a focus on
Dento-Facial Aesthetics and Comprehensive Periodontal-Implant Rehabilitation. Dr.
Rifkin graduated USC School of Dentistry in 1976 where he received his dental degree.
As an international lecturer, Dr. Rifkin has spoken to numerous dental and cosmetic
surgery academies on various topics such as: Team Approach to Comprehensive Facial
Beauty, Natural Beauty for Teeth and Implants, Microscopic Dentistry, and Complete
Mouth Rehabilitation. In addition to lecturing, he has also been a faculty member of
Both USC and UCLA s schools of Dentistry. Dr. Rifkin is also a member of the Academy
of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry, American and European Academies of Esthetic
Dentistry as well as one of the few dental members of the American Academy of Cosmetic
Surgery. He has published numerous papers in Facial Aesthetics and restorative and
implant supported dentistry. Dr. Rifkin is passionate about combining a foundation of
excellence in function, periodontal health and Dento-Facial aesthetics utilizing science,
technology, and fine arts. He believes in a team approach to achieving the optimal result
for our patients working with both dental and medical specialists in both health and
Facial Cosmetics.

Microsonic Management of Calcified Canals
NOUSHAD RAHIM, BDS, MDS, MFGDP, MJDF RCS ENG | 1 CE LECTURE
Locating and negotiating a calcified canal for non-surgical root canal therapy
can be both taxing and frustrating to the dental practitioner. The prognosis
of a tooth indicated for endodontic therapy can rapidly deteriorate during
attempts to find the calcified canal. Risks of perforation, blockages, and
instrument separation are high in these challenging cases. The use of an
operating microscope and ultrasonic has made locating the calcified canal
more predictable and safe. This presentation will outline approaches to
manage calcified canals.

Protocol of Preparation for Full Crowns and Veneers with
Microscope - Full Mouth Micro Invasive Rehabilitation
NAZARIY MYKHAYLYUK, DMD | 1 CE LECTURE
Nowadays technologies in dentistry are improving very fast. But whatever
technology or approach you use, you are supposed to visually control all
your steps. So when it comes to prosthetic dentistry (analysis, preparation,
provisionals restoration, impression control), magnification is really
important to get the result we want in the end. We’ll discuss the use of
microscope in prosthetics on every step of the patient’s treatment. We will
implement the microscopic approach into a full mouth rehabilitation—
macro and micro together.

Microscopically Guided External Sinus Floor Elevation (MGES)
- A New Microsurgical Protocol in Oral Implantology
BEHNAM SHAKIBAIE, DR. MED. DENT | 1 CE LECTURE
Sinuslift procedure has become the most scientifically recognized bone
augmentation technique in posterior maxilla in oral implantology. But
intraoperative complications such as sinus membrane perforations, the
high rate of patient morbidity related to the extensive surgical trauma and
insufficient implant primary stability still cause surgeon’s and patient’s
discomfort. Therefore in recent years intraalveolar (internal) sinuslift is
getting more popular. But especially in cases with advanced 3-dimensional
alveolar bone atrophy internal sinuslift is contraindicated. Therefore Shakibaie
published the new surgical technique of MGES (Microscopically guided
external sinus floor elevation) in 2008 and 2010 as a minimally traumatic
alternative to internal sinuslift. MGES enables the microsurgically experienced
surgeon to reduce the trauma of sinuslift significantly and to increase the
safety of this technique too. MGES main conditions are optical magnification
of surgical microscope or loupe, specially developed microsurgical sinuslift
instruments, technically trained surgeon and assistance.

Minimally Invasive Interventions for Esthetic Dentistry
MASAYUKI OKAWA, DDS | 1 CE LECTURE
Lately, favorable results are seen in many esthetic cases with minimally
invasive techniques. This became possible due to the development of
biomimetics, advancement in bonding technique, and treatment using the
problem-based approach. In addition, the use of the microscope has allowed
us to obtain precise and predictable outcomes.
Using my Minimally Invasive Full Mouth Rehabilitation cases, the use and
effectiveness of the microscope in direct composite and porcelain-bonded
restorations in esthetic dentistry will be discussed.

Papilla Reconstruction Around Teeth and Implant Using
Connective Tissue Graft
JUNYA OKAWARA, DDS | 1 CE LECTURE
Inter-dental and inter-implant papilla defects in the anterior region can
be a major esthetic concern for some patients. However, it is very difficult
to reconstruct dental papilla defects in the anterior region. Although the
techniques of papilla reconstruction around teeth and implants have been
described, none of the currently available surgical procedures for dental
papilla reconstruction provide predictable results.
Recently, the relationship between papillae height and facio-lingual thickness
of the papilla base have been described. In other words, if we want to increase
the height of the dental papilla, that thickness also must be increased. This
time, I will make a presentation on dental papilla reconstruction using a
connective tissue graft around the teeth and implant. And I will talk about the
importance of the soft tissue thickness of the papilla base for dental papilla
reconstruction.

Tooth Anatomy, Endodontic File Design and Dentin
Conservation - A New Paradigm
ERIC HERBRANSON, DDS | 1 CE LECTURE
This lecture will review how a nuanced understanding of tooth anatomy and
an appreciation of the value of conserving dentin will change endodontic
access and shaping protocols. It will explore the impact of endodontic file
design on restorative failure in endodontically treated teeth. It will also
discuss the importance of conservation of pericervical dentine as a factor in
preventing restorative failure of endodontically treated teeth. It will present
new instrument design that automatically and safely create more root form
appropriate shapes. And it will outline an approach to endodontic access
design that feature dentin conservation as an objective.
Dr. Eric Herbranson is co-founder and Executive Director of Brown & Herbranson
Imaging, a company that develops dental and human anatomy education software.
With over 30 years in practice, Dr. Herbranson is a dedicated clinical endodontist.

Intervention Study About the Effect of Arm Supports on Muscle
Activity, Posture and (Dis)comfort in the Neck and Shoulder
Region in Microscope Dentistry
JACQUELINE BOS | 1 CE LECTURE
Dental work implies many precision tasks, with lots of visual challenges and
demanding precision of movement, sometimes in combination with the application
of heavy forces and psychosocial stress. In fact, dentists would need some
of Superman’s superpowers to be able to perform optimally. Multiple ergonomic
solutions are designed to reduce the workload, without their effectiveness ever having
been scientifically evaluated. A group of 11 endodontists was asked to perform a
representative endodontic task under three conditions: 1) with Flexible arm supports,
2) with Fixed arm supports and 3) without arm supports. The self reported discomfort,
posture observation and surface electromyography of neck and shoulder were
assessed as outcome measures. In this lecture the results of this study will be shown:
which situation will decrease the physical load? Challenge yourself and start taking
measures to be able to work like Superman.
Jacqueline Bos, physical therapist and ergonomist, established BBO in 2005. BBO provides
ergonomic evaluation and training in the workplace and assists in designing or adapting
workplaces. BBO is specialized in dental ergonomics, veterinary ergonomics, and ergonomics for
medical specialists. Jacqueline lectures (inter)nationally about dental ergonomics and the specific
aspects of dental specialties such as endodontics and implantology. Jacqueline’s mission is to
teach people to work in a healthy manner. Thanks to her background as a physical therapist, she
is able to give students real experience in working comfortably, safely, and efficiently.

Documentation with the Surgical Microscope:
Improved communication with students, colleagues and patients.
WAYNE REMINGTON, DDS | 3 PARTICIPATION CE
This course is a live demonstration of the how’s and why’s of connecting
video and still cameras to surgical microscopes. The ability of demonstrating
what is going on at the business end of our hand piece connects staff with
the procedure at hand and keeps them engaged in the process. The same
ability gives unmatched communication to the patient on the procedure
being performed. And most importantly for educators, this ability allows
the instructor to demonstrate clearly to ALL the students (not just the ones
standing next to your shoulder) exactly what is going on at the tip end of
your bur!
Many dentists and dental educators have had difficulty getting easily obtained
images for instructional purposes. This course will show you in detail how to
connect cameras via HDMI or other cables to video outputs or computers; also
we will demonstrate wireless technology for NFC (near field connectivity) or
WiFi connections to tablets or smart phones.
Participants are invited to bring their current camera systems with them
(including beam splitter and mounting arm) if they wish personal coaching on
their particular camera system. Please give information about your system to
AMED prior to the course so that we may be adequately prepared to answer any
questions about your system.
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
1- Recognize the benefits of live images from surgical microscopes
2- Be able to tell the advantages of video cameras verses still cameras for
teaching and demonstration purposes
3- Be able to connect still and video cameras to video monitors
4- Be able to transfer images from still or video cameras to computers
5- Be able to connect wirelessly to tablet or smart phones with compatible cameras
