This past week, I had the privilege of attending the annual Academy of Osseointegration (AO) conference in Orlando, organized by our very own advisor Dr. Jeffrey Ganeles. On a superficial level, the academy invites specialists in 3 dental fields (Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and Oral Surgery) to learn about recent research in each field as well as treatment modalities involving dental implants. On a much deeper level, the conference allows for a ‘meeting of the minds,’ bringing together thought leaders in each of those specialties and facilitating the exchange of ideas to enhance patient care.
