Oak Brook iCAT is the New Age in Dental Implant Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Oak Brook iCAT Offers a Cutting Edge Approach to Dental Implant Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Oak Brook iCAT is the first Imaging Center of its kind to find a home in the suburbs of Chicago for dental specialists and dentists to diagnose, treatment plan, and follow their dental implant patients.
The buzz word in dentistry today is implants. They are an amazing way to restore function and form to anyone who has missing teeth. They are the best way to replace missing teeth and according to Dr. Gordon Christensen, the top dental lecturer in America, "Dental implants are the standard of care for missing teeth."
In today's day and age, diagnosis, imaging, comprehensive medical history, and treatment planning need to be thoroughly evaluated before placement of any dental implants. All of these factors help decrease risk to both the patient and the doctors placing and restoring dental implants.
Imaging is a vital component of the diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow up for any patient undergoing dental implant treatment. The only way to have complete safety and security is with a CT scan prior to placement of dental implants and during follow-up care.
The i-CAT is the state-of-the-art in dental digital imaging technology today. It delivers imaging quality demanded by today's practitioners. Benefits of the i-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Imaging System include:
- Immediate 3-Dimensional images of a patient's critical anatomy
- Complete views of all oral structures allowing dentists & specialists to dramatically enhance patient care
- Open Environment seated position
- Only an 8.5 second scan time
- Processing time in under 1 minute
- Dramatically lower radiation compared to traditional medical CT scans
- Immediate 3-D reconstruction of a patient's mouth, face, and jaw
- Enhances communication between the doctor and the patient
- Allows doctors to share a visual diagnosis with their patients
- Patients better understand their treatment options
- Patients have more confidence going into treatment
- 3-D Mapping Tools allow specialists and technicians to treatment plan more involved situations
Now oral surgeons, periodontists, oral implantologists, and dentists in the suburbs have a place for their patients to get CT Scans in the west suburbs: Oak Brook iCAT.
Oak Brook iCAT Imaging Center is located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois and provides patients and referring doctors with a quality CT scan on disk. At Oak Brook iCAT, the i-CAT 3-D Dental Imaging System is used to take a Cone Beam 3-D CT scan in one location. This is a new standard of care for the periodontists, oral surgeons, oral implantologists, and dentists. The i-CAT allows dental specialists and dentists to obtain a 3-Dimensional view of specific targeted regions for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes.
Traditional Catscans have been available at hospitals and x-ray centers for many years, but those systems emit a very large dose of radiation. The i-CAT emits a dose less than equivalent of 4 days of standard background radiation. The scan time for the i-CAT is 8.5 seconds, which is also much shorter than traditional CT scans. An astounding amount of information is given in one scan including a panoramic view, a cephalometric view, 3D rendering, TMJ evaluation, and airway evaluation.
With an i-CAT CT scan, skeletal, hard tissue (teeth), soft tissue and other anatomical features can be studied in great detail after just an 8.5 second scan with less radiation than a complete full mouth dental x-ray series.
Oak Brook iCAT scan center is run by Dr. Umar Haque, an oral implantologist and dental radiologist. Dr. Haque is a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and a Fellow in the American Dental Implant Association. Oak Brook iCAT is a subsidiary of Oak Brook Smiles. Dr. Haque added, "The i-CAT’s high resolution, volumetric images provide complete 3-D views of critical anatomy for more thorough analysis of bone structure and tooth orientation to optimize implant treatment and placement, and selection of the most suitable implant type, size, location, and angulation prior to surgery." Anyone considering dental implant therapy should definitely ask their dentist or specialist if a CT scan will be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up care.
Oak Brook i-CAT is located at 1S132 Summit Avenue, Suite 200 in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. They can be reached at 630-627-2520, and are available online at http://www.oakbrookicat.com/

Dr. Umar Haque, a Local Dentist, Adds FADIA To His Name
Dr. Umar Haque is a general dentist practicing in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. This month, he was awarded the title of Fellow in the American Dental Implant Association (ADIA).
The goal of the American Dental Implant Association is to encourage collaboration and communication among the top dental professionals placing dental implants.Dr. Haque has been placing dental implants for over 7 years and has been requested to become a member of the prestigious American Dental Implant Association.
The ADIA Fellowship Certification is rigorous, demanding six steps be completed in order to gain the title of Fellow. One must complete 150 hours of course credits in implant dentistry, pass the written Fellowship multiple choice examination, pass the oral Fellowship examination, provide three lettersof recommendation from current ADIA Fellows, submit a current curriculum vitae, and attend the Annual Conference induction ceremony. The title of Fellow with ADIA gives Dr. Haque the ability to add a few more letters after his name: FADIA (Fellow of the American Dental Implant Association).
The organization was founded by Dr. Arun K. Garg, founder of Implant Seminars, the world’s largest dental continuing education company. Dr. Garg created the American Dental Implant Association in response to overwhelming requests for more credentialing and credibility by establishing recognition models.
The American Dental Implant Association aggressively promotes collegiality, friendship, and practice growth. “This is the top forum for an exchange of a vast amount of niche information through annual symposiums of like-minded individuals to receive the latest information in the dental implant field, in a familiar, supportive community. Our main goal is to better serve our affiliate of well-trained clinicians, like Dr. Umar Haque,” said Dr. Garg.
The American Dental Implant Association’s Executive Director Fiorella Samaniego said “Each clinician may obtain the fellowship, mastership and diplomat status provided they meet the requirements for continuing education (CE) hours and pass a written examination”. Scheduling for exams is vital, so awards can be given in a timely manner at the ceremonies, the most recent one was held at the annual symposium on April 24, 2009 in Miami, FL. "Dr. Haque has exhibited excellent patient care in the cases that have been submitted for approval by the Board of the ADIA. His dental implant techniques, bone grafting, and soft tissue management have shown us that he is certainly qualified to be a Fellow in the ADIA."
Dr. Haque was honored to receive the Fellowship stating, "It is a privilege to have earned the respect of the finest dental surgeons, implantologists, dentists, and scholars in our field. It’s even more exciting to see the progress and advances that have become available to my patients that were unheard of 10 years ago. It is an amazing service for my patients, and I am looking forward to getting involved with the ADIA.”
Dr. Umar Haque maintains a private dental practice in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois called Oak Brook Smiles. He attended the University of Connecticut and graduated with a D.M.D. (Doctor of Medical Dentistry). He completed a post-graduate residency in hospital-based dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago and at the University of Chicago.

Willowbrook High School Student Accepts Internship at Prominent Dental Implant Office
OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL, April 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What do you want to do when you grow up?
For Katie Tyree, a senior at Willowbrook High School, the answer is: to become a dental hygienist.
This week, Katie Tyree was selected for an exclusive internship at Oak Brook Smiles, a prominent dental implant and cosmetic dentistry office located in nearby Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. She had been deciding between careers in medicine and dentistry over the last few years and opted for a career in dentistry after doing some part time work at Oak Brook Smiles.
The team at Oak Brook Smiles has taken her under their wings. She has learned from excellent mentors there, including Dr. Umar Haque, Siraj Haque (Office Manager), Dena Perillo (Hygienist), and Cheryl Fontana (Dental Assistant).
Dr. Umar Haque is a dentist at Oak Brook Smiles and loves practicing dentistry. Although there four days a week from Monday through Thursday, he spends most of his Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays attending and speaking at continuing education courses around the country. He completed his Doctorate in Medical Dentistry at the University of Connecticut and went on to complete a post-graduate residency in hospital-based dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago and at the University of Chicago. He is a member of the American Dental Implant Association and has also completed a Fellowship in Implant Dentistry with the International Congress of Oral Implantology. He has been encouraging Katie to understand both the front desk as well as sterilization in the office. Dr. Haque mentioned, "Katie is a motivated and hard-working strong girl with a lot of potential. She sets goals and has vision. That is something I haven't seen in many 18 year olds."
Siraj Haque is the Office Manager and the wife of Dr. Haque. She runs the business operations, from insurance claims to scheduling patients. Siraj aids patients with financing options and keeps the office in balance. From welcomes patients, to interviewing them and understanding what they want, Siraj has proven to be invaluable in the front. Katie has been learning how the front of a dental practice runs from Siraj, from scanning in EOB's (estimation of benefits) to getting coffee for patients in the welcome area. Siraj stated, "It's great having Katie at our office. She brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm."
Dena Perillo, RDH is the hygienist at Oak Brook Smiles. She has over 10 years of experience in dentistry and has completed extensive post-graduate training in anesthetic and laser dentistry. She has been teaching Katie the ins and outs of hygiene, from what classes to take to get into hygiene programs all the way to nomenclature of dental instruments. Dena said, "I'm sure she is going to be a wonderful hygienist! She has the right attitude!"
Cheryl Fontana is the dental assistant at Oak Brook Smiles. She is involved with all of the dentistry that Dr. Haque does, from setting up to breaking down the treatment rooms. Cheryl makes things comfortable for patients, from bringing them warm, lavender neck-pillows and eye-pillows to getting the right music on the iPod with noise-cancelling head phones, to holding their hand while Dr. Haque gives a patient anesthetic. Cheryl has taught Katie all about the clinical side of dentistry including sterilization, the instruments, what different instruments are used for, how to assist Dr. Haque, how to interact with patients, how to calm them down and make it pleasant for them. "It's wonderful having Katie help with instruments and turning over rooms so that things flow smoothly."
When asked what she liked most about working at Oak Brook Smiles, Katie replied, "The experience, the atmosphere, the ambition... I like everything!"
Katie also discussed what she has learned since starting part-tome work. "I've learned how to scan papers, take care of instruments, nomenclature of instruments, how to interact with patients. The knowledge I have gained working here will provide a lot background for a future hygiene program. I am also starting to understand what patients like and don't like, and learning how to adjust to patient needs." Katie hopes to attend hygiene school at the College of DuPage.
Discussing the business side of things, Katie said, "Business is a lot of work and dedication. You have to want it really bad so that you can achieve your dreams." She continued that line of thought, "I know it's not going to be easy to get into hygiene school and get the grades that I need to get in, but I know I can do it. It's on a post-it note on my mirror, and I look at it every morning."

Can You Really Get Teeth in a Day with Dental Implants?
Oak Brook, IL April 19, 2009 -- The echoes of Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine could almost be heard during the morning hours before Dr. Petrungaro came to address over 70 dental implant specialists inside Implant Seminar’s conference venue. This location happened to have been the official recording studio where Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine recorded their first 8 award-winning albums and was also the studio of choice for legends such as Jimmy Buffet and REO Speedwagon. Although the mouth is wet, dental seminars can be dry, but not when Dr. Petrungaro takes the helm. The dentists in this crowd were unable to take their eyes off Petrungaro’s powerpoint slides and videos; and they couldn’t stop taking notes during his high-energy, robust, and crystal-clear delivery.
The seminar on immediate-loading dental implants was held in Miami, Florida from April 17-18, 2009. Dr. Paul brought his best cases forward, ranging from single tooth anterior cases to high-end full mouth esthetic dental implant cases . There is a large amount of debate within the dental community about the success rates of immediate-loading, or as some may refer to as “Teeth in a day”. Most of that controversy is based on techniques used years ago that had moderate to low success rates. Now with modern techniques, bone grafting, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma derived from the patient’s own blood), CT scanning, and with today’s dental implants it is truly a reality. Dr. Petrungaro presented case after case after case describing not only his techniques, but the map that he uses to diagnose, treatment plan, and implement these techniques.
The course was one of six seminars during the Masters Series of Implant Seminars. Dr. Arun Garg, president of Implant Seminars, and considered one of the world’s preeminent authorities in dental implantology and bone grafting said he felt “Extremely proud” to be able to once again offer his students and colleagues the best professional faculty and practitioners. “Just by looking at how incredibly energized he leaves his students, it’s obvious it’s not just his virtuosic knowledge as a dentist, but also how extraordinarily engaging and entertaining he is… There is no doubt we will keep joining forces to educate dentists” declared Dr. Garg.
There were 70 dental implant specialists present at Dr. Petrungaro’s course in Miami. One of those, Dr. Umar Haque, was in the front row absorbing as much as he could. “I have never seen so much passion and excitement from someone. Dr. Petrungaro was extremely informative about the surgical techniques and never backed down from a tough question. He showed us some impressive dentistry, amazing lab work with Edgar Jimenez, and a new device called TempStent that will revolutionize the way teeth with dental implants can really be done in a day.” Dr. Haque left the seminar excited to get back to work at his private practice called Oak Brook Smiles, located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. Dr. Umar Haque has been placing dental implants for 7 years, and he is looking forward to reading the dental literature that Dr. Petrungaro backed his work up with during the seminar.

Dr. Umar Haque Invited to Join the Prestigious American Dental Implant Association
Oak Brook, IL April 19, 2009 -- Dr. Umar Haque is a general dentist practicing in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. This month, he was invited to join the American Dental Implant Association (ADIA). The goal of the American Dental Implant Association is to encourage collaboration and communication among the top dental professionals placing dental implants.
Dr. Haque has been placing dental implants for over 7 years and has been requested to become a member of the prestigious American Dental Implant Association.
The organization was founded by Dr. Arun K. Garg, founder of Implant Seminars, the world’s largest dental continuing education company. Dr. Garg created the American Dental Implant Association in response to overwhelming requests for more credentialing and credibility by establishing recognition models.
The American Dental Implant Association aggressively promotes collegiality, friendship, and practice growth. “This is the top forum for an exchange of a vast amount of niche information through annual symposiums of like-minded individuals to receive the latest information in the dental implant field, in a familiar, supportive community. Our main goal is to better serve our affiliate of well-trained clinicians, like Dr. Umar Haque,” said Dr. Garg. There will be an annual symposium from April 23 through April 25 this year at The Miami Implant Update.
The American Dental Implant Association’s Executive Director Fiorella Samaniego said “Each clinician may obtain the fellowship, mastership and diplomat status provided they meet the requirements for continuing education (CE) hours and pass a written examination”. Scheduling for exams is vital, so awards can be given in a timely manner at the ceremonies, the first one being held at the annual symposium in April 24, 2009 in Miami, FL. "Dr. Haque has exhibited excellent patient care in the cases that have been submitted for approval by the Board of the ADIA. His dental implant techniques, bone grafting, and soft tissue management have shown us that he is the type of dentist that the ADIA wants in its fold."
The American Dental Implant Association will also become an embedded feature of the scholarly publishing landscape. Members receive an academic journal on dental implantology and those who demonstrate a genuine interest in establishing credibility through journal publishing and wish to contribute to the upcoming American Dental Implant Association publication are also welcome. Dr. Umar Haque will be contributing to the ADIA Journal regularly, and presenting many of the dental implant cases that he has completed.
“Credentialing and credibility go hand-in-hand,” said Dr. Garg. “We will offer our members myriad of ways to advance themselves and their careers. Dr. Umar Haque has exhibited the kind of dentistry that qualifies admission into the American Dental Implant Association." The ADIA has its next meeting scheduled next week at the Miami Implant Update which runs from April 23-25, 2009. Dr. Umar Haque has been invited to participate and present his most challenging implant case on Friday, April 24, 2009.
Dr. Haque was honored to be invited stating, "It is a privilege to have earned the respect of the finest dental surgeons, implantologists, dentists, and scholars in our field. It’s even more exciting to see the progress and advances that have become available to my patients that were unheard of 10 years ago. It is an amazing service for my patients, and I am looking forward to getting involved with the ADIA.”
