Changes Effective with the 2007 Examinations: Beginning with the 2007 oral/case examinations, all cases submitted for the Associate Fellow and Fellow examinations must have been in function 2 news JULY 2005 for at least one year by the examination date. The Board reinstated this requirement since at least one year is needed to evaluate the implant treatment. Beginning with the 2007 examinations, the Board will also offer candidates the option to submit their cases in digitized form. Guidelines for digitized case reports are currently in development and are expected to be available for distribution in late 2005. Learn about the Examination Process at the 2005 Annual Meeting: If you have questions about the requirements for Associate Fellow and Fellow membership, the examination process or how to prepare your case reports, plan to attend one or more of the three sessions that the Board will hold during the 2005 Annual Meeting. During the Lunch and Learn session on Friday, October 21, Emile Martin, DDS, chairman of the A & C Board, and Joyce Sigmon, staff liaison, will explain the examination requirements and process. To participate in this session, pre-registration is required.

The 2006 annual oral/case examination is the last one that will be given during the three-year eligibility period of those who passed the written examination in 2003. www.aaid-implant.org news PRESIDENT’S REPORT By Kevin J. O’Grady, DDS I have had the privilege of attending several district meetings this year; in fact, this has taken me from sea to shining sea. The planning efforts by the District Officers were outstanding and the educational opportunities offered to attendees were excellent. The Central District held a oneday meeting in February in Chicago that featured Dr. David Vassos. He gave an entertaining and educational program on marketing and grafting techniques. Dr. Jeffery Meister, the district’s PresidentElect, and his office staff conducted a well-organized meeting. The Western District meeting in March was held at Loma Linda University and included live surgeries. LLU offers a great venue for learning and I saw a lot of new faces. In addition, the meeting gave a number of predoctoral and postdoctoral dental students a chance to learn about the Academy. My thanks to Drs. Jaime Lozada, Michael Nishime, Nicholas Caplanis, Jay Elliott and Duane Starr, the Western District Officers, for organizing the meeting. I am pleased to report that they are already planning the 2006 district meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. On to the East Coast I traveled and New York City, where in April I participated in the Northeast District’s meeting held at the NYU College of Dentistry. An assortment of implant topics were presented, all of which could be used on Monday when the participants returned to their offices. The evening cruise around Manhattan with dinner put an excellent finish on the day. My thanks to Drs. Shankar Iyer and John Minichetti for managing this meeting. The District’s 2006 meeting will be held in Atlantic City. I hope to attend the Southern District meeting in July to make it a clean sweep of district meetings this year. Where were you during these meetings? Did you attend your district meeting? To make these quality meetings a true success, our members need to “step up to the plate” and show their thanks for the hard work that goes into these meetings by attending. Yes, I know we can usually find an implant meeting to attend just about every month, but why do we have to look for something when we have it right here within our Academy? Watch the newsletter or visit our web site to confirm the dates of our future district meetings – and then attend. It will enhance your implant knowledge and help support your Academy. I also attended a Leadership Team Forum in Chicago presented by the ADA along with Dr. Frank LaMar and our Executive Director. The meeting is designed to bring the volunteer leaders and appointed CEO together to discuss leadership trends. I found the session on preparing a one-page dental society strategic plan particularly applicable as the Academy recently adopted its own strategic plan. Divergence of www.aaid-implant.org thinking within an organization seemed to be a theme throughout this year’s Leadership Team Forum. We learned about effective role negotiation and fitting leadership into context. I am pleased to report that the Academy’s committees are working hard on your behalf. The June meeting of the Board of Trustees included a review of their progress reports. Watch future newsletters and web site summaries of these committee’s activities. Final plans are being implemented for the Academy’s 2005 Annual Meeting that will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 19 – 23. Make sure you attend! New this year will be the Research Foundation’s Golf Outing set to tee off on October 18. This first-time event should not be missed. Not only is the course magnificent and the camaraderie second to none, but you will be supporting the Research Foundation, a very valuable tool furthering the profession of implant dentistry.

The meeting showcased live surgery performed by Dr. Trevor Bavar and an impressive line-up of lecturers. Dr. Jack Piermatti spoke on the use of CAD-CAM technology; Dr. Charles Weiss on the successful management of an implant practice; Dr. Richard Elias on diagnosis and treatment of lingual and inferior alveolar nerve injuries and Dr. Peter Glavas on implant overdentures. The latest in bone grafting techniques were presented by Dr. Joel Rosenlicht and the newest imaging techniques using CT scanning were presented by Dr. Robert Miller. The participants agreed that the entire speaker line-up was excellent. Over 40 doctors attended the AAID’s Northeast district meeting last month in Manhattan. Shown from l to r are: Dr. Kevin O’Grady, AAID President; Dr. Leonard Linkow; Dr. Charles Weiss; Dr. Kim Gowey, President-elect; Dr. Shankar Iyer and Dr. John Minichetti. Drs. Iyer and Minichetti were the meeting co-chairs. On Friday, a social evening aboard the glass-enclosed Bateaux ship provided all a chance to catch up with their colleagues in a more relaxed setting. Everyone enjoyed an elegant three-course dinner, dancing to the jazz band trio and cabaret singer and the spectacular views of the illuminated Manhattan skyline. Dr. John Minichetti, co-chair of the 2005 meeting, said, “This was a great opportunity for us to demonstrate the latest surgical and prosthetic techniques in an optimum setting. NYU’s amphitheatre combines surgical and lecture hall components; it was an ideal facility for us.” Continued on page 17 NOTES FROM THE EDITOR Recently, I returned from the A&C Board’s examination of candidates for their credentials. Dr. Emile Martin, the chairman, provided leadership, which allowed this board to examine a record number of applicants. Four days were required to complete the job at hand. On certain days this entailed a 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. schedule. The professional mind-set and responsibility placed with the board members was reflected throughout the process. Our Academy should be very proud of the examination process we offer. Those members who pass should feel a great sense of accomplishment and pride.

JULY 2005 news 11 news AAID MEMBERS BECOME TV STARS Dr. Larry Bush, a Southern District Trustee on the AAID Board of Trustees and Dr. Frank Recker, AAID Legal Counsel made their television debut on the May 12 season finale of The Simple Life. Dr. Bush, his staff and his office in Goodlettsville, Tenn. were selected by the Fox network for Episode 316 in which the realitybased series’ stars, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie work as interns. Filmed in March 2005, Dr. Bush’s operation was selected by producers who wanted a stable dental office that had been in existence for a long time and offered comprehensive 12 news dental services. The fact that Dr. Bush’s office is state of the art and his staff is extremely professional also convinced the producers to offer him the opportunity. The decision to accept was not an easy one for Dr. Bush. In fact, that is how Dr. Recker and his son, Mac, became patients for Paris and Nicole. Dr. Bush called Dr. Recker for legal advice when he was deciding whether to participate in the show. It turned out that ten-year old Mac needed a baby tooth pulled and Dr. Recker opted for a teeth whitening procedure. Two more stars were born. JULY 2005 Dr. Bush agreed to participate but insisted that his office, his practice and the dental profession be portrayed in the most professional light. The day of filming arrived. At 7 a.m. the office was filled with a 50-person production crew along with Dr. Bush, his son, Allen, also a dentist in the office, their staff and six patients. Of course, befitting their celebrity status, Paris and Nicole arrived fashionably late with their bodyguards at 10:30. Paris and Nicole assisted with Dr.Recker’s teeth whitening and Paris actually “pulled” Mac’s tooth, albeit with some significant prep by Dr. www.aaid-implant.org news Bush. Despite receiving low marks on professionalism when graded (F-) and a D on understanding of dental methods, Dr. Bush was very impressed with the hand-eye coordination demonstrated by Paris and Nicole, giving them both an A. Both received a grade of B for their relationship with patients and a C for their problem-solving skills. Overall, Dr. Bush gave them a final grade as dental interns of C-. Dr. Bush and his dentist son and staff received much higher praise from the producers of The Simple Life. According to reports in the press after the show aired, “the producers of the show applauded Dr. Bush’s team effort and reported this had been one of the easiest intern filmings in the show’s three-year history.” Nicole Richie (left) and Paris Hilton “assist” Dr. Larry Bush on The Simple Life.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE AAID Dental Student Award: This spring, 29 dental schools in the U.S. and Canada participated in the AAID’s award program that recognizes undergraduate dental students for their interest in implant dentistry, both academically and clinically. Each recipient was selected by his or her dental school, using its established procedures for such student awards. In addition to a Certificate of Recognition, each award recipient received a year’s free membership in the AAID and a complimentary registration at the 2005 AAID Annual Meeting, which will be held in Scottsdale,Arizona, October 19 – 23, 2005. This is the first year that the AAID Award was offered to all of the dental schools in the U.S. and Canada. Last year, in a pilot program, the award was presented in five U.S. dental schools and was expanded upon the Education Committee’s recommendation. “We are delighted with the level of participation in the award program that recognizes these outstanding students who represent the future of Implant dentistry and welcome them as members of the AAID,” said Kevin J. O’Grady, DDS, president. Education Committee Sponsors Limited Attendance Workshop at Annual Meeting: Would you like to know how adults learn and how teaching a course differs from presenting a lecture at a dental meeting? If so, plan to attend “Strategies for Promoting Usable Information to Peers,” a limited attendance workshop at the 2005 Annual Meeting that will be presented by Eugene L. Hittleman, EdD, Associate www.aaid-implant.org Professor, Behavorial Sciences at NYU College of Dentistry. This workshop will provide insight into the basic learning style preferences of adults and how this information enables a speaker to develop a presentation that will appeal to an audience and satisfy the objectives of the presentation. Register for the workshop, using the registration form in the Preliminary Program, which was mailed to the membership in June, or online.
