Scott D. Ganz, DMD, President CAI Academy (2009-2010).

President's address.

"Dear CAI Academy members and future members,

The last few years have seen an explosion of technological advances in the areas of CT and Cone Beam (CBCT)  imaging, interactive treatment planning software, CAD CAM applications, minimally invasive flapless oral implant surgery with guided surgical procedures and CT-derived templates.  What an exciting time to practice implant dentistry! Although it is crystal clear to our CAI Academy members, it is important for us all to realize that most clinicians today worldwide still do not routinely prescribe CT/CBCT scans for patients who will have dental implants or other surgical procedures and who do not know how to apply the data or use interactive treatment planning software.  Therefore, I respectfully state that our goal for the upcoming few years is to educate our industry as to the impact and potential that this technology represents for the future of our profession.  This is one our most important missions, and with the collaborations of partners in the industry who share our vision, the CAI Academy will continue to expand and grow to provide and educational experiences for our colleagues worldwide. Our current CAI Academy officers include many of the most experienced clinicians in the field.  We look forward to providing hands-on workshops, didactic sessions, poster presentations, and industry collaborations with leading companies and products such as Materialise Dental, SIMPlant ,SurgiGuide ,SAFE, Nobel Biocare, NobelGuide, Procera, Biagini Medical Devices, RaySet, ML Media Lab, Keystone Dental, Easy Guide, Model Guide, and with many more to come. Please always feel free to contact me, or any of our officers with any questions that you may have regarding your participation in our organization.  I look forward to an exciting time where both our organization and our industry will continue to evolve, and I encourage you to become more involved!."
