Letter from the American Academy of Periodontology
Over the second weekend of April 2013, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) sponsored a collaborative conference entitled “The Team Approach to Managing Implant Complications.” This dynamic conference brought together over 500 restorative dentists and periodontists from all over the world for two days of interactive presentations and discussions on the management and prevention of dental implant complications. The Spring Conference provided a 360-degree overview of how to best diagnose, treat, and manage these complications in a collaborative environment, and showcased the necessity of a close working relationship between the periodontist and the restorative dentist.

This supplement to Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry highlights some of the cutting-edge presentations given at the 2013 AAP Spring Conference. On behalf of the AAP, I would like to extend our gratitude to Nobel Biocare for their generous support in publishing these conference proceedings. If you attended the conference, I invite you to revisit and review the outstanding presentations. If you missed what has been called “the best AAP Spring Conference so far” by many of the regular attendees, I urge you to read the proceedings contained in this supplement, and to join us for future collaborative conferences.
Warmest regards,
Nancy L. Newhouse, DDS
