MEETINGS
Date and Time: Saturday, January 21, 2:00 PMGuest Speaker: Sammy Noumbissi, DDS, MS, will be speaking to us He will be talking about implant dentistry and the risks of replacing teeth with titanium dental implants. They were once thought to be entirely inert and not susceptible to create allergic responses and spontaneous rejection of the implants. This has also been a long time concern in orthopedics. The importance of replacing teeth for optimal general health will be discussed. The alternative option of replacing teeth with metal-free Zirconia dental implants will be presented and discussed also. Recent research in implant dentistry and orthopedics is showing that there is a significant increase in titanium implant rejection attributable to titanium allergy. In 1999 it was published that less than 1% of the population was allergic to titanium, as recently as this past summer the estimates are up to 15%. Allergic reaction or sensitivity to titanium can manifest itself the day after insertion of the implant up to many years later. He does not use any petroleum based products for implantation. Dr. Noumbissi's office is in downtown Silver Spring, MD.Location: The Maryland City Library, 3501 Russett Common, Laurel, MD.
DIRECTIONS: From the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, head west on Route 198 less than 1/4 mile, then turn right at the first traffic light onto Russett Green East. Go past the Wal-Mart entrance, then turn left onto Russett Common. The library is on the left. Do not come via I-95, as Rt. 198 through Laurel is slow.
Future Meeting Dates:
All of these dates are Saturdays from 2-4:45 except for the April 22, Sept. 23, and Nov. 11 meetings.February 18, 2012
