Dear Colleague,

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in our 4th Annual "Partners in SynergyTM" Grafting Symposium, to be held June 11-14, 2009 at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. The theme of this meeting is: "The Ultimate Graft Course: State of the Art Techniques and Bioactive Modifiers in Hard and Soft Tissue Grafting".

After our third successful Partners in Synergy in Spain, we are extremely proud to collaborate once again in what we hope will be the best course you can attend this year that will showcase a comprehensive spectrum of "total reconstructive dentistry" involving both hard and soft tissue grafting techniques given by both an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon and a Periodontist/Orthodontist. This rare combination of historically segregated disciplines has now come together once again synergistically to the benefit of all doctors, and has been very well received during the past three years.

Over the years, many of you have come to us and spoken about the fact that both hard and soft tissue grafting is the decisive factor in being able to perform more implant surgery and being able to benefit more of your patient population. In addition, the current status is changing at a rapid pace with new technologies being added to the clinical protocols each year making this course vitally important. With this in mind, we have created a course that will completely cover all aspects involved in state-of-the-art hard and soft tissue reconstructive dentistry, with the focus on future implant reconstruction and the ease and long-term maintenance of prosthetic restorations.

New this year, we will be featuring world renowned speakers Dr. Dennis Tarnow of NYU and Dr. Eduardo Anitua of Spain who will highlight the most recent research and clinical material of Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMP) and blood borne bioactive modifiers, and their suggested use in day to day clinical practice.

We will share our clinical experiences with you via wide screen format that will include the use of multiple images and video clips. This three day intensive "emergence" concept in grafting is aimed at all disciplines in dentistry, so please feel welcome regardless of your background.

We hope to see you in sunny Florida in June. Attendance will be limited this year to maintain intimacy for all attendees, so please plan ahead.

Respectfully yours,

Michael A. Pikos, DDS                     Maurice A. Salama, DMD
