 Craftsmanship-Driven Oral Rehabilitation: From Surgical Reconstruction to Computational Intelligence

 Course Objectives

This full-day program explores contemporary oral rehabilitation through the integration of prosthetic craftsmanship, surgical reconstruction, regenerative science, and emerging artificial intelligence. Part I focuses on diagnosis, treatment planning, and prosthetically driven strategies for complex full-arch rehabilitation. Part II addresses clinical execution, tissue architecture, biomechanics, provisionalization, and definitive reconstruction. Part III examines mechanotransductive regeneration, highlighting how mechanical forces, biologic signaling, and the local biomechanical environment influence bone regeneration and implant-related reconstruction. Part IV, Artificial Intelligence and Computational Surgical Intelligence: The Forthcoming AI Era and Its Impact on Clinical Practice, explores the evolution from digital dentistry to AI-enabled care, including deterministic algorithms, machine learning, robotics, and computational surgical intelligence. Through clinical cases, translational research, and emerging technologies, attendees will gain a framework for connecting craftsmanship, biomechanics, regenerative science, and computation in contemporary reconstructive dentistry.

OMIG Issues Audit Project Fact Sheets

Oct 28, 2026

New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG)

OMIG Update: OMIG Posts Latest Audit Project Fact Sheets

OMIG has posted on its website the Audit Project Fact Sheets listed below.  Developed by OMIG’s Division of Medicaid Audit (DMA), the Audit Project Fact Sheet effort is an innovative reporting and communication initiative that serves to bolster agency transparency, data and results reporting, and provider education.  Developed as a mechanism to highlight key audit project results, the fact sheets provide a brief overview of a completed audit project summarizing the purpose of the project, the number of audits conducted, the results of the audits completed, and the most common findings.  The fact sheets cover all DMA audit projects and provide specific project-level detail to supplement information contained in the agency’s annual report and work plan.  Additionally, the fact sheets play a key provider-education role, including those organizations that did not receive an audit as part of the project, by highlighting potential compliance risks and areas on which to focus internal reviews.

Latest Audit Project Fact Sheet Postings:
