train the members of your staff to be knowledgeable,effective team members in the management of emergen-cies. We will review how to store and organize youremergency medications, intubation supplies, intrave-nous drip supplies, etc in your crash cart for instantretrieval. Plans for virtually “fool proof” labeling andorganization for all items—from drugs to batteries—willbe discussed. Tips will be provided on how to effectivelyuse your office computer to help provide first–rateteaching materials for your entire office staff.
Actual clinical and legal case examples will be utilizedto demonstrate fatal outcomes associated with insuffi-cient office organization and emergency drills. In addi-tion, videos of emergency drills will illustrate how tomaximize the teaching potential of the drills. The pro-gram will benefit, and is appropriate for, surgeons, man-agment, and staff.

M632CT-Guided Surgery Versus ConventionalSurgery: Pros and ConsEdmond Bedrossian, DDS, San Francisco, CA
The growing interest for flapless surgery in conjunc-tion with immediate loading of the edentulous patientshas led to the development of software programs whichallow for treatment planning, fabrication of a surgicaltemplate, as well as the production of a prosthesis whichcan be secured to the patient immediately following theplacement of the implants. This presentation will helpthe implant team understand the steps required for treat-ment planning as well as the fabrication of the provi-sional, immediate–load prosthesis once the surgical tem-plate has been produced from the stereolithographicmodel. The fact that the prosthesis is connected to theimplants immediately following the surgical procedureleaves no room for error. It is imperative that the oraland maxillofacial surgeon, the restorative dentist and thelaboratory technician be aware of each others abilitiesand limitations. Understanding each other’s responsibil-ities will lead to a more predictable outcome, minimizeerrors, and allow for correction of minor discrepanciesduring the execution of this treatment concept.
Immediate loading of the edentulous patient may alsobe predictably executed using chair side conversiontechniques immediately following the installation of theimplants. Treatment of certain clinical conditions includ-
ing patients who have existing full complement of nonrestorable teeth or existing implants with peri implanti-tis are better managed using chair side conversion tech-nique. This presentation will compare and contrast “an-alogue versus computer assisted” protocols for the im-mediate loading of the edentulous patient.

M633Tibia Bone Graft in the OR and in theOfficeGeorge M. Kushner, DMD, MD, Louisville, KYBrian Alpert, DDS, Louisville, KY
The oral and maxillofacial surgeon faces many recon-structive challenges in contemporary practice. Recon-struction of the bony maxillofacial skeleton is frequentlyrequired for trauma, pathology, implant site preparationand a host of other clinical scenarios. The “gold stan-dard” in bony reconstruction is autogenous grafting.Several sites, including the calvarium, iliac crest, tibiaand the mandible itself are currently popular in clini-cians’ hands. Each site has its own advantage and dis-advantages or limitations must be evaluated for eachpatient.
We feel the tibia bone graft site is very versatile,technically easy to perform and has a low complicationrate. The amount of bone that can be harvested is usuallymore than adequate. Additionally, this procedure caneasily be adapted to use in the office. We will present thetechnical aspects of this surgical procedure and show itsuse in a variety of surgical cases. Lastly, we will discussthe University of Louisville experience and our compli-cations with the tibia bone graft.
