Featured Speaker: Dr. Frank Celenza
Dr. Frank Celenza received his undergraduate degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo where he graduated with honors. (Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude) He received his Dental degree in 1983 from McGill University, Montreal, Canada., his Certificate in Periodontology in 1986 from the University of Pennsylvania, and his Certificate in Orthodontics in 1988 from the New York University College of Dentistry.

He has also been on the Undergraduate Dental faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He is currently on the Board of Directors of the Northeast Society of Periodontists. His presentation is designed to be of interest to both general practitioners and specialists alike. It will explore certain simple types of tooth movement, such as eruption, with particular attention to the physiology of such movements and how these modalities impact cosmetics. Periodontal implications and management of such situations will be carefully delineated. Recent developments regarding implant interactions in many cases will be looked at as well. Specific literary references and carefully documented clinical cases will be presented to illustrate these concepts.
“Prosthetic Management of Implant Complications”
Dr. Bruce G. Valauri
Dr. Bruce Valauri is a 1983 graduate of the New York University College of Dentistry. He then completed his general practice, prosthodontic and maxillofacial prosthetic residencies at the New York Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center in 1987. Currently he directs the prosthodontic and maxillofacial prosthetic programs at the N.Y. VAMC. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor at NYU College of Dentistry, Division of Restorative and Prosthodontic Sciences, and is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. In addition, Dr. Valauri maintains a private practice in Manhattan. His presentation will focus on documented and anecdotal accounts of implant restoration complications which present clinicians with many challenges. The rescue and replacement procedures for prosthetic compromises may be avoided by understanding biomechanical, aesthetic, and design limitations of implant systems. This presentation will highlight ways to avoid these pitfalls and demonstrate prosthetic rehabilitation of less than ideal implant situations.
