Dr. Xerxez Calilung
Dr. Calilung is a graduate of USC School of Dentistry and has a private practice in Irvine, CA. He has been an Adjunct Professor at USC since 1993 and served in organized dentistry at various levels and in several leadership positions. Dr. Calilung has been using stem cells and exosomes clinically in his dental practice, treating nearly 1000 patients since 2017. He performs stem cell research, teaches other dentists, and provides support to patients with health problems refractory to traditional treatment. In dentistry, he is a recognized leader in this medical discipline.

Course Description:

Friday, October 28, 2022, 8-12am

Dr. Calilung, Stem Cells
Stem cells and their counterparts, exosomes, have become a part of dental practice. They are in a similar realm to PRP and PRF, but on a more profound scale. Stem cells are unique because they can become any type of cell, acting as both building blocks and repair mechanisms in the body. They may be purchased by an FDA “regulated” lab to treat dental patients for appropriate indications.
Please watch this one-hour introduction to stem cells and exosomes before the class to give you insight into the potential of live-birth, umbilical cord tissues to change patients’ lives for the better. Also, access and review the scholarly and peer-reviewed articles on Dr. Calilung’s website. This field of medicine has been emerging for years and is now at a point where it is accessible to the dental profession. This course delves deeper into indications, contraindications, patient selection, administration of the stem cells or exosomes, and patient (and doctor) post-treatment expectations.

Course Objectives:

Following this presentation, dentists will:
• Learn from research data and instructor experience, know which types of stem cell products will be most likely to provide the best outcome; what constitutes a favorable outcome
• Know which patients and health conditions are most likely to respond favorably to stem cell therapy and in approximately what period, and which are more resistant to therapy
• Know how much to give and how/where to administer it
• What does stem cell therapy cost
• Be aware of any potential adverse effects to treatment
• Why are there some detractors against this treatment modality

Dr. Karl Koerner, Oral Surgery

Many extractions look easy but can soon become difficult, time-consuming, and lead to complications. This course reviews the best techniques and instruments to remove “surgical” extractions easily and quickly while conserving bone–a requirement with the need for implants and more aesthetic bridges. His courses make exodontia more enjoyable and predictable so it can be performed with greater confidence and less stress. He also covers other topics related to the above, such as avoiding/managing surgical complications (bleeding, infection, maxillary sinus problems, excessive time for surgery, etc.), ridge grooming after extractions, biopsy, moderate third molar impactions, socket preservation, and incision and drainage.

Course objectives:
• More easily and quickly do “surgical” or difficult extractions that are common to general practice.
• Prevent and/or manage complications that can occur during oral
• surgery.
• More clearly recognize problem cases that may need referral.
• Have patients more pleased and satisfied with surgery in your office.

• Do socket grafting that is predictable which will allow implant placement later if desired
