Expected to become a tradition, the conference was aimed at gathering MIS’
professional colleagues and fellow clinicians in order to share accumulating
knowledge as well as introduce new ideas, innovations and future challenges
in the field of dental implantology.
Held at the Hilton resort by the Caribbean beach of Cancun, the conference
hosted over 1,000 professional guests and clinicians from all around the world,
exploring business and professional opportunities and enjoying a tropical
paradise - all at the same time.
The get together has been informally opened on May 19th with a pre-conference
seminar and hands-on workshops, focused on BondBone – MIS’ recently
launched composite bone-graft. Aimed at key opinion leaders from over 30
countries, the workshops introduced a new innovative approach to bone grafting
challenges, extending the opportunity to learn more about BondBone’s unique
advantages and carry that knowledge onward.
The initial gathering accommodated a challenging prize awarding golf tournament
which invited all participants to take part in a joyful, ice-breaking experience
surrounded by the overwhelming climate induced by the Caribbean shore.
The conference has been officially opened with a reception cocktail party at the
Hilton Cancun garden. The opening speech was carried out by MIS Colombia
CEO, Dr. Claudia Esparza, who inspired and endorsed the conference formulation.
Dr. Esparza highlighted the significance of the event as a milestone in the
validation of MIS as an international leading brand, positioning the corporation
as a benchmark for professionalism worldwide. Dr. Esparza’s speech was followed

MIS’ Senior VP Sales and Marketing, Mr. Doron Peretz, introduced MIS’ upcoming
innovative products and services among which - C1 – MIS’ new innovative
implant, expected to be officially launched by the beginning of 2012, MGUIDE
– MIS’ web based virtual implant planning system and Periopatch – MIS’ solution
for the reduction of symptoms associated with post-surgery and root-scaling
inflammation.
The following two days were dedicated to lectures and interactive discussions
carried out by international opinion leaders and pioneering practitioners from
leading academic institutes.
Prof. Carlos E. Nemcovsky from the School of Dental Medicine in Tel-Aviv
University and Prof. Gabi Chaushu from the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial
Surgery in Tel-Aviv University, discussed controversies in lateral and vertical
ridge augmentation procedures and conducted an interactive debate with
regards to the different methods - blocks VS GBR with particulate allografts. The
following conclusion suggested that each case should be approached according
to specific characteristics, utilizing various techniques, depending on the clinician’s
preferences and considerations.
Prof. Eli Machtei, the director of the School of Graduate Dentistry at the Rambam
health care campus and the chairman of the department of Periodontology,
presented the synergistic effect of tricalcium Phosphate and bi-phased calcium
Sulfate (4BONE with BONDBONE ® ) for ridge preservation in dehiscence type
defect, associated with extraction sites. Prof. Giuseppe Cardaropoli, the director
of Implantology section in the Department of Periodontics at UMDNJ, New Jersey
Dental School and, the director of clinical research center at UMDNJ, presented
the clinical effect of an immediate implant placement following tooth extraction.

Both Machtei and Cardaropoli addressed the innovative advantages ingrained
as BondBone is incorporated in various bone augmentation procedures.
MIS’ BondBone has been acknowledged also by Dr. Amos Yahav and Dr. Bobbi
Horwitz who shared their vast experience using the product to simplify, shorten
and enhance the predictability of various bone augmentation procedures.
MIS VP Research and Development, Dr. Nahum Samet, introduced MIS’ new
advanced products, planned to be launched within the near future. Among these
products - C1 - MIS’ new implant, representing a new approach, challenging
the well established paradigms regarding common drilling method in dental
implantology. Incorporating an advanced conical connection, C1 is designed
to reduce micro-movements and minimize bone resorption at the implant’s neck.
Dr. Samet regarded C1’s color coded platforms, its platform switching – allowing
a better growth of the soft tissue, and the creative combo-packaging of the
implant, allowing clinicians the freedom to choose which procedure to pursue.
Like SEVEN, MIS’ preceding implant, C1 includes a specially designed, single-use
final drill, enabling clinicians an easier, safer and sterile implantology, evidently,
enhancing its success rate. Additional innovations introduced by Dr. Samet were
- Periopatch – a completely new territory for MIS, dealing with post-surgery
inflammation, and MGUIDE – the first web-based planning system, recently
modified to include a unique verification function which validates the manufactured
drilling template and provide a firm assurance for safe, accurate and efficient
surgical procedures.
Dr. Paulo G. Coelho from NYU, introduced his assessment of osseointegration
improvements, allowed by endosseous implant surface engineering, through a
clinical in-vivo study on dogs, having MIS’ SEVEN implanted. The study challenges
the well expected paradigms relating to the acceleration of osseointegration,
utilizing the macro-structure and bone condensing properties performed by
MIS’ implants.

Dr. Maurice A. Salama from the University of Pennsylvania concluded with a
presentation regarding optimal foundation and augmentation techniques for
functional and esthetic implant restorations. His presentation exemplified cases
in which MIS’ SEVEN implant and BondBone were utilized in order to achieve
an efficient growth of the soft tissue, eventually mimic the existent gingival frame
around a natural tooth.
Dr. Salama’s presentation was ended with the entrance of mariachi players and
singers to the lectures hall, their heads covered with sombreros, denoting the
end of the professional part of the conference and inviting the attendees to take
part in the closing celebrations.
The ’finale’ party was held at the famous Cocobongo club, situated at the heart
of downtown Cancun, offering a festive fiesta heaped up with pleasurable
surprises, acrobatic showing, and a thrilling cover performance with popular
music and songs.
The conference has successfully integrated a joyful, festive
atmosphere together with valuable professional content
– all communicating MIS’ expertise as a world class brand.
