Dear Colleague:

We are proud and excited to announce the First International Clinical Bone Symposium, to be held at a luxurious resort in the Las Vegas area February 1-3, 2008. The objective of this seminar is to provide cutting-edge information that will enable you to make tissue engineering an integral part of your clinical practice.

The program for this symposium will focus on the use of growth factors to restore and repair soft tissue and bone. Two products that significantly advanced these efforts have successfully completed the regulatory process and are available for patient care. As surgeons, we all have our own comfort zone in the use of osteoconductive products. So why consider a change in paradigm? Because scientific advancements require all of us to re-examine our cherished beliefs and assumptions. It is time to re-evaluate when, where, and how to achieve optimal results for our patients.

This program will take us from the realm of the research laboratory into the clinic, where patient treatment is rendered for both implant site development and periodontal regeneration. We are confident that this comprehensive exchange of information will enable you to expand your knowledge and understanding of regeneration techniques. You can enjoy the temperate Nevada climate in February at the same time. Please mark your calendar now and plan to attend this landmark event.

Myron Nevins, dds
Program Chair
