The current strategic plan began guiding the organization in 2018. There are four strategic priorities. These priorities guide AAID activities, whether they be commit- tee activity, financial allocations or Board decisions.
The graphic on the right explains the priorities for the next five years.

In 2019, the Journal of Oral Implantology (JOI) will move to a new web platform providing an enhanced reader experience for AAID members! The new JOI website will provide members with a fresh design that is responsive to any device, person- alized content recommendations, and seamless single sign-on functionality. This means that AAID members can use one username and password to access both the AAID and JOI websites. Look out for the new JOI online in the coming months!

The technique described in this article will help practitioners fabricate a radiation stent in areas where patients may have implants to protect them from the line of radiation (Figure 7) that may cause some irreversible changes in osseointegration. Despite the availability of 3D printed stents3, this man- ual approach takes into consideration the extent of the soft tissue coverage that can Figure 7. Implants that need protection from radiation be customized and adapted to include the lead liners with auto-polymerizing resins.

The aim of this study was to examine the fracture strength and precision of fit of screw-retained monolithic zirconia crowns made directly on implants or by cementing on prefabri- cated titanium (Ti) bases. Monolithic zirconia crowns with a Ti base clearly show higher fracture strengths than the crowns fixed directly on the implant surface. Better marginal fit can be achieved with direct zirconia crowns than with crowns on a titanium base or industrially produced zirconia crowns. Pauliina Moilanen, DDS, Jenni Hjerppe, DDS, PhD, Lippo V.
