I just came back from our annual meeting with ICOI in Las Vegas, NV. It was an excellent meeting with speakers from around the world discussing multiple topics on implant dentistry. There are some really exciting things happening in implant dentistry right now. A new product, rhBMP-2, is being used to grow “de novo” bone was presented by Dr. Spagnoli and his related research. It bascically gives us a way to help your own bone growing cells (osteoblasts) proliferate and be successful in turning over new bone. I think this is an exciting addition to what we already can offer in our office.
