The Hammer and the Nail:
A two part series on the current developments in Oral
Implantology.
Dr. William Liang
Day 1 - The Nail
Evolution 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 biomaterial for this application as well as take a brief look into
the future of implant biomaterials.
Day 2 - The Hammer
Much 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 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
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

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 longterm 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.
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.

objectives :
Normal 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.
