Drawing on her peer-reviewed publications, the session examines how disc morphology, stage of internal derangement, inflammatory status, and patient-specific factors influence surgical success. The lecture focuses on refining indications and timing —distinguishing patients who benefit from early surgical intervention from those better managed conservatively or with alternative procedures. Emphasis is placed on avoiding delayed intervention that compromises outcomes, while also preventing unnecessary surgery in self-limiting disease. Clinical decision algorithms, imaging correlations, and functional outcomes are integrated to support practical, evidence-driven TMJ care.

Identify patient-, disc-, and disease-specific factors that define appropriate indications for surgery. Determine optimal timing for open discopexy based on stage of internal derangement and symptom progression. Apply outcome data to select the most appropriate surgical or non-surgical TMJ intervention. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Eugenia Figueiredo, DDS, PhD , is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and academic clinician recognized for her expertise in temporomandibular joint surgery, with a particular focus on open discopexy and disc repositioning . Her work has contributed to a more nuanced understanding of when surgical intervention is beneficial—and when it is not—in patients with TMJ internal derangement. Drawing on a substantial body of peer-reviewed publications , Dr. Figueiredo has examined disc morphology, disease staging, timing of intervention, and long-term functional outcomes following TMJ surgery. Her research challenges overly restrictive or delayed surgical paradigms and provides evidence-based criteria for refining indications and optimizing patient selection. As an educator and invited international speaker, Dr. Figueiredo is known for translating research findings into practical clinical decision-making. Her teaching emphasizes individualized treatment planning, careful integration of imaging and clinical findings, and outcome-driven selection of TMJ surgical techniques to improve patient function and quality of life.

As the demand for implant rehabilitation grows among aging populations and individuals with systemic conditions, clinicians must carefully balance risk assessment, surgical planning, and long-term maintenance. The lecture examines the impact of systemic diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorders, immunosuppression, and history of radiotherapy or antiresorptive therapy on osseointegration and peri-implant health. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based risk stratification, modifications in surgical protocols, biomaterial selection, adjunctive regenerative techniques, and the role of digital planning in improving predictability. Innovative approaches—including surface modifications, guided surgery, growth factors, and photobiomodulation—are discussed to enhance outcomes in challenging clinical scenarios. Participants will gain practical insights into minimizing complications, optimizing healing, and delivering safe, predictable implant therapy in compromised hosts.

These centers build local capacity, train surgeons, and embed sustainable expertise in the community. Mission Trip Model: where visiting surgical teams travel to underserved regions for short-term intensive surgical camps or missions , performing a high volume of corrective surgeries within a limited time. These missions are often organized by international charities; they provide needed services where access is limited, but raise questions about long-term follow-up, continuity of care, and sustainable impact. The session examines how each model works, their benefits and limitations , and how they can be integrated — for example, using mission trips as catalysts for eventual development of local, permanent cleft care programs. It also covers practical considerations such as patient selection, team composition, quality standards, ethical implications, and postoperative care .

Joachim - “Panfacial trauma - treatment plans, approaches and outcomes” TALK INFO Panfacial trauma presents a complex challenge in the realm of maxillofacial surgery, requiring meticulous planning and multifaceted approaches to restore both function and aesthetics. Treatment plans often involve a coordinated effort among maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, and ophthalmologists to address injuries spanning the entire facial skeleton. From open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) to craniofacial reconstruction, the chosen approach aims to achieve anatomical alignment while mitigating complications such as malocclusion, vision impairment, and nasal obstruction. Successful outcomes hinge not only on surgical precision but also on comprehensive postoperative care and rehabilitation to optimize facial function and appearance.
