OCO Biomedical’s 40th Anniversary Theme: Changing Implant Dentistry Today

OCO Biomedical’s 40th Anniversary Theme “Changing Implant Dentistry Today,” Showcases a Panorama of Pace-Setting Implant Innovations and Educational Opportunities at the 2016 Hinman Dental Meeting, March 17-19, in Atlanta, Georgia

Albuquerque, New Mexico, March 4, 2016, OCO Biomedical, Inc., – Expanding upon their 40th Anniversary theme, “Changing Implant Dentistry Today,” OCO Biomedical Inc., a proven global leader in dental implant technology, training, and instrumentation, will showcase four decades of implant innovation and achievement, at the upcoming Hinman Dental Meeting.  This event will be held on Thursday, March 17, through Saturday, March 19, at the Georgia World Congress Center, 285 Andrew Young International Blvd., N.W., Atlanta, GA.  Exhibitions take place in Halls A1, A2, and A3. Exhibition hours are Thursday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. 

According to the Company, OCO will exhibit their award-winning Complete Dental Implant System combined with OCO’s Complete Dental Implant Solutions Approach technology and training.  This innovative, comprehensive implant dentistry package provides practitioners with the products, technology and training needed to offer the most advanced treatment options to their patients as well as build a profitable and sustainable practice.

States David D. Dalise, DDS, OCO Founder, and CEO, “In line with the 2016 Hinman theme, ‘Discover the Difference,’ we invite Hinman attendees to ‘Discover the OCO Difference.’ As one of the nation’s oldest dental implant companies, OCO Biomedical has been a driving force of innovation and accomplishment in implant dentistry for four decades. One major difference offered by our company is OCO’s cutting-edge, clinically proven, Complete Dental Implant System. Our comprehensive implant solutions system is comprised of an extensive line of OCO’s patented Dual Stabilization® dental implants and patented immediate/early load technology. OCO’s special body design coupled with a minimally invasive placement procedure creates tension (not pressure) on the bone at placement.  OCO Biomedical implants offer exceptionally high implant stability at placement which is a critical success factor in the early healing process of osseointegration. Our unique products and system allow practitioners to provide optimal implant treatment and care in a fraction of the time needed by other methods.”

Dalise continues:  “OCO’s Complete Dental Implant System and The Complete Dental Implant Solutions Approach, a methodology and training program developed by Dr. Charles Schlesinger, OCO’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Clinical Affairs, and I, are rapidly gaining global acceptance as evidenced by our recent successful launch in Saudi Arabia. OCO also received top ratings for our System at the 2015 Greater New York Dental Meeting. Dr. Schlesinger lectured and performed a live surgery event to approximately 1,080 attendees, and an overwhelming 95.34% said that the knowledge and skills gained could be implemented into their practice.  In my opinion, it’s clear that the time has come to transition from traditional implant products and protocols to those that take advantage of the biomechanically active ones such as ours and the positive results that our system and approach provide.”

Asserts Schlesinger, “To address the present and future realities for implant dentistry success, we have created implemented highly progressive, accelerated learning training programs, particularly over this last year. In response to increased market demand, we have also greatly expanded our educational outreach, both nationally and internationally. Our new and innovative state-of-the-art courses featuring The Complete Dental Implant Solutions Approach, are being met with great success, with attendance at capacity in many locations. The Hinman Meeting provides the perfect platform for us to present our unparalleled System and explain the full spectrum of the AGD-Pace accredited, value-priced educational opportunities that OCO offers.”

The Company states that OCO will highlight ‘Discover the OCO Educational Difference,’ through product previews and catalogs, availability of updated course/workshop information and registration material. OCO technical representatives will be onsite at Booth #604 for assistance. Special Hinman attendee product discounts will be available.

About OCO Biomedical, Inc.

Established in 1976 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, OCO Biomedical, Inc. is a privately-owned dental implant company. In addition to the Company’s vast network of practitioners using OCO products in the United States, the Company has an international network of distributors located in Asia, Central and South America, Europe and the Caribbean. OCO Biomedical, Inc. is a proven world leader in creating and supplying patented, brand-name dental implant products, technology, and AGD-Pace CE accredited education and training in North America.

For four decades, OCO Biomedical maintains the position of an industry-recognized leader in constantly evolving dental implant research and development.  At the forefront of OCO’s innovative complete implant solutions approach is the patented dual stabilization of the OCO implant. This patented process locks the implant into the surgical site with osseous fixation. As a result, the OCO implant can be loaded immediately or early. Once this load occurs, the unique biomechanically active design of the OCO implant allows for the micro-stimulation of bone, which has a positive effect on healing by increasing the speed of remodeling and apposition of bone around the implant.
