Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) March 25, 2016
Drs. Melvin Ford, Klaus Guter, and James Gray of Oral Surgery of Tidewater recently offered two continuing education courses to teach other dental professionals and oral surgeons how to improve the care they provide patients. One course introduced dental professionals to the All-on-4® technique, which uses multiple strategically located dental implants to stabilize a full bridge. The other course focused on various techniques for more effectively diagnosing and treating head and neck cancer.
The All-on-4® course gave 22 attending dental professionals and oral surgeons near Virginia Beach, VA, the opportunity to learn about this implant dentistry technique and strategies for explaining it to patients. The All-on-4® technique, which relies on dental implants that are permanently anchored in the jawbone, provides a functional solution for patients who cannot receive individual implants because of bone density loss. Drs. Ford, Guter, and Gray hosted the three-part course on this technique in conjunction with Zimmer 3i, an organization widely recognized for its accelerated, hands-on dental education courses.
To offer the second course, which focused on the diagnosis of head and neck cancers, Drs. Ford, Guter, and Gray collaborated with multiple local healthcare providers. The Eastern Virginia Medical School’s Department of Otolaryngology, which specializes in developing new treatments and approaches to head and neck surgery, contributed to the curriculum. Drs. Ford, Guter, and Gray also partnered with Atlantic Dental Group, which is a general dental practice based in Virginia Beach, VA, to host the course.
