Congratulations, Camille

Camille Siqueira PERIO 08 won first place in the postdoctoral category at the Yankee Dental Congress Student Table Clinics. Her presentation was titled, "Minimally Invasive Sinus Elevation Techniques With or Without Simultaneous Implant Placement: How to Get Around Challenging Anatomical Limitations."

Siqueira worked with Drs. Thomas Van Dyke and Serge Dibart in the Department of Periodontology and Oral Biology on this research. Her goal was to optimize current sinus elevation techniques for the benefit of the patient.

"Through my research, I have developed less invasive procedures for use in sinus elevation cases," said Siqueira. "These procedures reduce surgical time and cause less postoperative discomfort for the patient. It was an honor for me to have the judges at Yankee Dental Congress recognize the significance of my research by awarding me first place."
