Chairman’s Welcome

At the end of 2015, the Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation (FOR) proudly looks

back at yet another year of successful development both regarding our offering

and the fast growing number of our associate fellows.

The launch of important educational offerings like FOR’s Treatment Guidelines

for the Edentulous Patient or the two additional digital textbooks, as well as

the execution of a successful scientific consensus meeting have been major

milestones in the past year.

Throughout the year of 2015, we concentrated our efforts more and more towards

the online offering, the www.for.org platform.

With 8,000 registered users at the end of 2015, and around 120 globally- renowned contributing experts, FOR reinforced its efforts to build its virtual

community of dental professionals.

Our purpose of supporting better patient care worldwide remains at the center

of all our activities. We are highly grateful for the strong commitment and manifold contributions of the dental and medical community which support us

in this endeavor.

FOR.org remains the key portal through which the Foundation achieves

its objectives to not only disseminate knowledge on advanced treatment modalities for patients, but also allows for peer-to-peer learning and

knowledge exchange.

With 8,000 registered users and around 120 globally- renowned contributing experts, the website functions as an entry point to the scientific and educational initiatives that the Foundation undertakes.

Since the website’s inauguration, FOR.org has launched more than 180 expert videos, 80 patient cases, 2 digital textbooks, 11 checklists and much more.

Establishing the infrastructure and building the content continues to require significant amounts of work, including procurement of digital video archives and digital images of patient treatments, a review process to prepare materials for web dissemination, and a feedback mechanism to establish areas for improvement.

FOR Activity Reports

OVERVIEW

FOR’s platform is fully responsive, thus its offerings are available on different devices

“ The decisive advantage of FOR’s offerings is in their online availability,

that they are web-based and offer worldwide access to all FOR fellows. This has a key impact in countries where direct access to print media or other knowledge resources is not

always available.”

FOR Science Council

Under the leadership of Dr. Daniel van Steenberghe, the Science Council launched the evidence-based Treatment Guidelines for Edentulous patients, as well as three Treatment Checklists, and conducted its second

scientific Consensus Meeting in Mainz, Germany.


Treatment Guidelines The evidence-based Treatment Guidelines for the Edentulous Patient were released in January 2015. The Treatment Guidelines are a multi-disciplinary review of key evidence-based principles and clinical treatment steps for edentulous patients who long for an oral rehabilitation which meets their wishes and possibilities. Developed by leading clinicians and scientists, the Treatment Guidelines are a com-prehensive, ready reference for clinicians interested in covering implant-based treatment specifically for edentulous patients. Including all treatment phases – from patient as-sessment and diagnostics to treatment options, procedures and aftercare, the multi-disciplinary tool comprises topics from both the prosthetic and surgical perspectives, and incorporates key evidence- based protocols essential to ensuring proper treat-ment outcomes.A patient-centered online tool available for desktop and laptop computers as well as mobile and tablet-devices, the Treatment Guidelines also provide links to a full range of additional resources such as patient treatment histories and documentation, reference literature in PubMed and video lectures.

Treatment ChecklistsThe checklists on peri-implant tissue health support and guide clinicians in the anamnesis anddiagnostic assessment of peri-implant tissue con-dition and in the treatment options and decisions for affected peri-implant tissue. The checklists facilitate preparation, planning and documentation of performed treatment activities, and allow concise monitoring of tissue conditions over time.

“ FOR has already created a series of Safety Checklists, but now we have our first Treatment Checklists on peri- implant tissue health, an important theme in oral

rehabilitation by means of implants. When it comes to examining a patient and

proposing treatment options, these Treatment Checklists will help clinicians

and their staff to remember the multitude of critical issues that could lead to failures

due to human error.”

Scientific Consensus Meeting

FOR organized its second Consensus Meeting at the University

of Mainz in Germany from October 7-8, 2015. The two-day event focused

on “The rehabilitation of missing single teeth”.

Leading up to the Consensus Meeting, the Science Council collaborated with Dr. Wagner from the Uni-versity of Mainz to prepare the Meeting. FOR invited an international team of twelve experts to expound upon the different aspects of single tooth rehabilitation. Their systematic literature review led to a compilation of reports that were distributed and debated among experts at the Consensus Meeting.

More in-depth findings and analysis will be available in the European Journal of Oral Implantology and on www.for.org.

A third Consensus Conference has already been kicked off and will take place in November 2016 in Philadelphia, USA

A HUB FOR LEARNING AND COLLABORATION: FOR.ORG

Expert Video InsightsWith more than 180 videos currently available and new ones being continuously

launched, FOR’s Expert Video Gallery is an excellent showcase for clinicians to

discuss patient care options, science and even controversial topics.

Patient CasesThe Patient Case section of the website has been redesigned in order to offer

a simplified, solution-oriented entry into patient cases with a clearer structure and

easier navigation. With more than 80 patient cases available in FOR’s library, all

treatment histories are designed to provide young clinicians with a step-by-step guide to treatment planning, preparation, as well as both standard and alternative

approaches to procedures.

FOR Education Council

Under the leadership of Prof. Charles Goodacre, FOR continued to

develop its educational offering on the online platform, which emphasizes

a modern approach to learning.

FOR EDUCATION COUNCIL

FOR launched two digital books in 2015

Single Implants and their RestorationThe digital textbook covers all planning stages – from diagnosis to after care. It is designed for uni-versity-level and post graduate students and as a valuable reference for everyone involved in implant placement or restoration.Complete with over 900 images, over 40 videos and more than a thousand scientific and literature references, Single Implants and Their Restoration is a comprehensive textbook that provides clinicians with intensive research on the best practices for single implant placement and restoration.

“Educational resources need to provide a synthesis of available knowledge and clinical procedures, be richly illustrated, scientifically up-to-date, contain videos when appropriate, and permit users to self-assess their knowledge acquisition” says FOR Global Education Chair and Board of Trust-ees member, Dr. Charles J. Goodacre, who worked on the project for more than a year with co-editor Dr. Pat Naylor and 27 other globally renowned con-tributors.

Temporomandibular Joint: Structure, Function and Dysfunction Edited by Dr. Edwin L. Christiansen, a professor at Loma Linda University’s school of Dentistry with oversight from FOR’s Educational Chair, Dr. Charles Goodacre, the book provides an in-depth knowledge of temporomandibular joint anatomy and features:

• Over 650 images and illustrations, 325 scientific and literature references, 12 videos and nine animations.

• An exceptional collection of images (bony images, cross-sectional images through cadaver specimens, histologic images, CBCT and MRI images.

• World-class animations of the joint and muscles.

• Self-assessment “Validate Your Learning” statements throughout the text and end-of- chapter self-assessment quizzes.

• A glossary that defines terms throughout the text.

Designed for university-level and post graduate students, this richly-illustrated ebook can be viewed online or downloaded to iOS or Android tablets, thereby providing “anytime-anywhere” access to both textual and richly-displayed visual content with a simple click of a link.
