OMS Advocacy In Action

Why It Matters: Legislative and regulatory decisions directly affect oral and maxillofacial surgery practices, patient access to care, reimbursement, workforce development, licensure requirements, and professional autonomy. NYSSOMS monitors these developments year-round to ensure the specialty's voice is represented in Albany.

Meetings & Events

Fall Meeting Registration Now Open

Join NYSSOMS on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City or participate virtually in the 2026 Fall Scientific Meeting: Advances in OMS Care—Implants & Pediatric Anesthesia.

Featuring Dr. Amit Punj and Dr. David Beanland, the program will explore prosthodontic principles for implant treatment and comprehensive approaches to pediatric anesthesia in the OMS office.

Think it. Test it. Build it. Prosthodontic Principles for Implant Treatments | Dr. Amit Punj

 Implant success depends not only on osseointegration, but also on whether the definitive prosthesis is esthetic, functional, hygienic, and maintainable. This presentation will cover how the synergy between surgery and prosthodontics leads to better outcomes

Course Objectives

  • Recall treatment planning principles for full-arch implant treatment
  • Explain the value of provisional restoration
  • Evaluate various dental materials for definitive implant-supported restorations

Little Patients, BIG Responsibilities: A Comprehensive Approach to Pediatric Anesthesia in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Office | Dr. David Beanland

 Treating children in the OMS office setting requires unique clinical, behavioral, and pharmacological strategies. It requires your team to embrace a systematic approach to the anesthesia model you provide. 

 This session equips the OMS and their surgical teams with the knowledge needed to safely navigate pediatric anesthesia. Cases will be shown to demonstrate how

New England OMS uses a specific anesthesia protocol and system to provide general anesthesia to hundreds of children each year. Participants will explore the anatomical and physiological differences that make pediatric patients distinct from adults. The presentation covers pre-operative risk assessment, patient selection criteria, and tailored anesthesia regimens for multiple situations. Attendees will also learn to optimize the surgical environment to reduce pediatric anxiety and improve cooperation. The session also reviews management protocols for anesthesia-related emergencies.

 COURSE OBJECTIVES

 By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  •  Implement a specific approach to the pediatric patient and anesthesia tailored for your office and team.
  • Identify key pediatric anatomical and physiological variations affecting airway management.
  • Evaluate pediatric patients using standardized pre-operative screening and risk assessment tools, as well as your “experienced based tools”. The “look from the door” matters greatly.
  • Manage acute pediatric anesthesia complications, including laryngospasm, bradycardia and respiratory depression.

Attendees may earn 4.5 CE credits.
