Dr. Dane McMillan – Prosthetic and Surgical Reconstruction After Trauma: From Dentoalveolar to Craniomaxillofacial.

Facial trauma is a prevalent concern encountered by all dental professionals. However, each patient presents a unique set of circumstances, necessitating tailored treatment approaches. This presentation will explore both prosthodontics and surgical reconstructive options, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment plans with custom devices and prosthetics for managing craniomaxillofacial trauma.

Leaning Objective:

To explore the treatment of dentoalveolar and craniomaxillofacial trauma utilizing implant-specific prosthetics and devices.

Dr. Kale McMillan – Surgical Considerations of Mandibular Reconstruction in Malignant Pathology.

Ablative surgery for malignant pathology often leaves patients aesthetically and functionally debilitated. Surgical reconstruction using free tissue transfers offers multiple reconstructive benefits to these patients, including minimizing time to prosthetic rehabilitation. This presentation will discuss the surgical considerations in planning free tissue transfers prior to implant supported prosthetic rehabilitation.

Learning Objective:

To discuss the various surgical and prosthetic methods of reconstructing mandibular defects after pathologic ablative surgery.

Dr. Heather J. Conrad – The Impact of Maxillofacial Prosthetic Rehabilitation on OHRQoL and HRQL for Patients with Oral Cancer.

Maxillofacial Prosthodontics is the branch of prosthodontics that involves the rehabilitation of patients with defects or disabilities that were present when born or developed due to disease or trauma. Healthcare outcomes are shifting from achieving traditional clinical endpoints to prioritizing the functional health and well-being of the patient. This presentation will evaluate the effect of prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary or mandibular defects in the oral cancer patient on their OHRQoL and HRQL.

Learning Objective:

To appreciate how maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation can improve a patient’s oral health-related quality of life.
