The AAOMS Coding for Implants and Bone Grafts course is designed for OMSs and their professional staff to implement correct coding initiatives for reporting bone grafts and implants and apply these guidelines to real-life coding scenarios. This course will review processes for verifying coverage with payers, discuss stages of the digital workflow, provide coding tips using both CDT and CPT code sets and apply appropriate coding guidelines for procedures relating to bone grafting and implants. Code: BG25

This course provides education on Medicare programs and policies that impact oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their staff. This self-paced program includes discussions about Medicare components (Parts A, B, C and D), Medicare fraud and abuse, payment policies including Medicare dental coverage expansion, appeal processes and miscellaneous Medicare-related topics. There is a saying in healthcare – “as Medicare goes, so do the other carriers.” If time is taken to thoroughly learn the Medicare program, you will better understand your commercial payers, too. Code: MC25

Minimally invasive implant techniques that are enhanced with Dehydrated De-epithelialized Amnion Chorion Membrane (ACM) and related technologies will be discussed with a focus on defect management using open and tunnel grafting, immediate molar implants and advanced crestal sinus elevation techniques. CBCT diagnosis and treatment planning will demonstrate advanced applications of ACM based on the residual bone and soft-tissue anatomy, avoiding complications and surgeon preference. Participants will gain an understanding to develop advanced skills utilizing minimally invasive techniques for predictable patient-centered outcomes. Code: WIN251022

In today's competitive employment environment, retaining top talent is critical for a thriving OMS practice. While hiring can be stressful and difficult, integrating new employees into the team can be even more demanding. A structured onboarding process can ease the transition, reduce stress and support long-term employee performance. This 90-minute webinar will discuss the elements of effective onboarding, required resources and strategies for successful implementation. Code: WPM251015R

Dentoalveolar procedures are among the most common procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. OMSs should be well-versed in the potential complications associated with these procedures, many of which can be avoided, and know how to address them effectively. Important factors in the prevention and management of dentoalveolar complications include a thorough history and physical examination of the patient, comprehensive surgical skills and knowledge of head and neck anatomy. This 60-minute webinar will review the published literature on dentoalveolar complications and discuss the prevention and treatment of these complications, including alveolar osteitis; displacement of tooth, root, implant or instrument; fracture of the jaw; hemorrhage; nerve injury; non-healing wounds; trismus and edema; and oroantral communication. Code: WCE250813R

This 60-minute webinar will discuss the importance of taking an effective pain-driven history, completing a comprehensive examination and maintaining a broad differential diagnosis when patients present with pain. It also will offer practical tips to help the clinician distinguish cervical, myogenous and intra-articular pain and dysfunction (IPD) and discuss in detail evidence-based guidelines for the management of IPD. Code: WCE250716R

This 60-minute webinar will cover Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, including multimodal approaches to facilitate recovery in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Attendees will learn about the history of ERAS protocol developments in surgery, why ERAS pathways are utilized and ERAS’s goals. Evidence-based ERAS literature in feminine and masculine faces will be discussed, in addition to interventions that can be implemented in all steps of the surgical process to enhance recovery. Code: WCE250527R

This 60-minute webinar will focus on the role of orthognathic surgery in facial gender affirmation. Because orthognathic surgery at its core is based on gender norms, it can be considered a type of gender confirmation surgery for all patients. In transgender patients, the use of orthognathic surgery to sculpt more masculine or feminine facial features requires an understanding of specific surgical nuances and techniques. Attendees will learn about these orthognathic surgery techniques that enhance masculine and feminine facial features. Code: WCE250520R

This 90-minute webinar highlights the challenges oral and maxillofacial surgeons face with traditional inventory management, including overspending, wastage and last-minute orders. Attendees will gain strategies to streamline inventory processes, minimize wastage and ensure critical supplies are always available. Code: WPM250514R

Gone are the days of a one-size-fits-all approach to NPO recommendations prior to an office-based This complimentary 60-minute webinar – presented jointly by AAOMS and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission – will discuss the increased use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry that has resulted in a higher incidence of unanticipated radiographic findings. While some of these findings are significant and require intervention, others can be safely monitored or simply recognized as anatomical variations. This webinar will provide a practical framework for OMSs to confidently evaluate, classify and manage incidental findings identified on CBCT scans. Through case-based examples, participants will learn to rapidly triage incidental findings to identify pathoses and differentiate them from anatomic variants. Attendees also will review clinical decision-making strategies to effectively document and manage incidental findings. Code: WCE250429R
