Dentists are often confused by the apparent conflicting recommendations on occlusal appliances.
How do they compare: hard vs. soft; upper vs. lower; full vs. partial coverage; repositioning vs. flat?
How about over-the-counter night guards? Scouring the research literature can be just as confusing
with hundreds of studies published on this topic.
This course will objectively discuss and explain the current evidence for a broad variety of night
guards. You will gain knowledge that can be applied toward the effective use of occlusal appliances
in your dental practice.

Has the hoopla surrounding the introduction of lasers to dentistry been more smoke than substance? Since 1990, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of more than 10
different wavelengths for dental use. These wavelengths create a world of difference in how the
lasers operate and their usefulness in the oral cavity. The use of lasers for specific procedures found
in everyday general practice will be highlighted. The first day will detail laser use in the following
subject matters: non-surgical, surgical and regenerative periodontal therapy; surgical and restorative implantology; fixed and removable prosthetics; oral medicine, oral surgery and oral pathology;
pediatric and adolescent operative dentistry; endodontics; pediatric dentistry and orthodontics;
aesthetic dentistry; and practice management/marketing.

Implant restoration of the partially and completely edentulous patient has become increasingly
prevalent. However, despite relatively high implant survival rates, patients are not always completely satisfied with the result. This presentation will review evidence-based, differential implant
treatment planning in order to address clinician- and patient-based concerns. The benefit/risk calculus of alternative prosthetic designs, including conventional rehabilitation, will serve as a basis for a
comprehensive informed consent for the patient and will offer a more predictable algorithm for the
practitioner. The importance of a team approach will be emphasized.
You Will Learn
Evidence-based prognosis for various implant prosthetic designs
Differential treatment planning based on patient- and clinician-mediated concerns
Fabrication process of various implant prostheses

No matter how good we are, there’s always room for improvement! This hands-on program will
focus on helping improve the anesthesia experience for both the professional and the patient. We
will review basic and advanced injection techniques, discuss various anesthesia products that are
available to dental professionals and have the opportunity for hands-on clinical participation. You should
expect to return to practice with greater confidence in your ability to deliver comfortable and efficient
local anesthetic injections, an increased appreciation for the causes of local anesthesia failures and
the knowledge to overcome these failures, and a greater sense of ease in recognizing and managing
unexpected side effects and complications of local anesthetic injections. This will reduce the anxiety
level of the practitioner and bring the practice another step closer to pain-free dentistry for the patient.
In the demonstration lab, participants will use skulls to identify osseous landmarks for more successful inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia, Gow-Gates and Vazirani-Akinosi. Various injection techniques for
both maxilla and mandible will be discussed. In the clinical portion, participants will be divided into small
groups to simulate or directly practice these techniques, as they prefer. Techniques will include (but are
not limited to) inferior alveolar nerve block, Gow-Gates, Vazarani-Akinosi, V2 block and much more.
You Will Learn
How to best combine anesthetic agents and injection techniques to provide
comfortable and profound pulpal anesthesia for any dental procedure
Anesthetic delivery devices available to dental professionals
Distraction methods and devices that aid in delivering comfortable injections
Possible causes for failures and complications in anesthesia
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for dentists and dental hygienists who wish to expand their understanding of the pharmacologic mechanisms and delivery techniques of local anesthesia and to
solve some of the difficulties that arise in obtaining profound anesthesia in the oral cavity.

Coding errors are predictable in today’s dental practice. Learn the top coding errors and how not
to make them! This course will cover the new CDT - 2014 codes, which include more than 50
changes in new, revised and deleted codes. You will also receive valuable information on some of
the “hot” sections of the CDT code, which you can use to identify and fix coding problems that
lurk in your practice. Most practices can expect legitimate increases in cash flow immediately by
learning how to do it right. Based on several thousand dental practices studied, these common
problems were identified: 1) consistent coding errors; 2) clinical protocol issues; and 3) potentially
fraudulent activities.
Dealing with dental insurance is overwhelming but key strategies can save you time, prevent
hassles and keep you out of jail. You will receive essential tools to properly file dental insurance
claims and calculate primary and secondary insurance receipts. In addition, co-pay forgiveness,
discounting, multiple fee positioning, patient gifts, falsifying NPI numbers and even PPO strategies
will be discussed. Stop leaving money on the table, as PPOs dominate the marketplace.
You Will Learn
How to avoid typical coding errors through predictive error correction

Is conflict spoiling relationships and reducing the profitability of your dental practice? Have
you ever wondered, “Why can’t I just do dentistry?” Have you intervened in conflict and felt ineffective or hoped it would simply go away? Ignoring conflict is not the solution. Left unchecked, conflict
can be expensive—it can drain your practice’s energy, erode your business and cost you patients
and staff. Studies have shown that up to 30% of a manager’s time can be spent handling interpersonal conflict and that hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars are lost each year to interoffice
disputes. Turnover is significantly higher in practices with unresolved conflict and can cost up to
150% of an employee’s salary to recruit, hire and train a replacement.

Are you prepared for a medical emergency in your dental practice? Let us help you plan for and
manage emergency situations, as well as better assess patients and risks to prevent emergencies
from occurring. This practical and informative program will cover heart attack management, syncope and related incidents, allergic reactions, toxic reactions, stroke diagnosis and management,
sedation emergencies, medical emergency codes and treatment for medically complex patients.
You Will Learn
Assessment of patients and risks to prevent emergencies from occurring
Diagnosis, causation and management of heart attacks, syncope, strokes
and allergic and toxic reactions
Emergency airway management for sedation emergencies
Examples of medical emergency codes
Treatment of medically complex patients and common drugs used
Why do most dental professionals avoid dealing with conflict? Dealing directly with the relationship challenges that occur in every practice requires skills that don’t always come naturally. Conflict, stress and opposing points of view are part of life—you can’t change that. Yet, you can change
the way conflict is handled when it arises. Conflict can be constructive. When managed effectively,
conflict promotes cooperation, collaboration and unity, and leads to greater productivity and profitability. The bottom line: dental practices need a system for resolving conflict. That’s where it starts. It
needs to be easy to understand and implement, and everyone should be trained in it.
You Will Learn
A simple, four-step method for resolving conflict and how to implement the model as a
standard behavioral system used within your dental practice
Effective communication skills for conflict resolution to keep the dental team on task
How to effectively handle the difficult emotions and behaviors that spoil relationships,
send dental teams spiraling and stress soaring

The aesthetic standards for veneers have been raised. Restoring anterior teeth without advanced
techniques is no longer acceptable. However, dentists are challenged to stay current with a multitude of improved procedures and materials. In this two-day, hands-on course, you will learn how to
show your patients exactly what their new smile will look like through advanced case presentation
techniques, and to deliver beautiful restorations. These skills will give you an increased feeling of
confidence and pride with your veneer cases.
You Will Learn
Lectures and Demonstrations
Aesthetic Photography
Review the necessary photographs for a complete aesthetic exam. Digital and conventional camera
systems will be evaluated and compared. Techniques for taking photographs will be demonstrated.
Smile Design
The art and science of re-envisioning, reinventing and re-creating smiles from the ordinary to the
extraordinary will be reviewed. Learn the principles and concepts of Golden Proportions, incisal
edge position, buccal corridor and other aspects that allow for a realistic approach to smile design.
Preparation Design
Standard preparation guidelines usually do not apply to veneer cases. Often teeth need to be
lengthened or rotation corrected, and preparation designs need to be modified accordingly. Veneer
preparation schemes for different types of cases will be reviewed.
Laboratory Communications
In order to achieve success, the dentist must be able to envision the goals of final results and be
able to communicate this to the laboratory technician and patient. The necessary photos, diagnostic
models, stick bite, face bow and porcelain material selection will be evaluated.
Temporary Fabrication
Temporaries should serve as a preview of the final results, so that aesthetics, occlusion and patient
feedback can be evaluated prior to cementation.
Cementation of Veneers
The final placement of veneers is a technique-sensitive procedure. The protocol for adhesion,
cementation and clean-up will be reviewed. In this session, all the principles from the past will
come together for achieving long-term aesthetic results.
Hands-on Workshops
22
Photo Analysis
Apply smile design principles to actual patient cases. Schematics and ideal tooth position will be
drawn onto photos.
Preparations
Maxillary premolar to premolar veneer preparation on a model with non-aligned teeth representing
a realistic patient.
Temporary Fabrication
Each participant will fabricate a set of temporary veneers on a typodont.
Veneer Cementation

Numerous studies have been conducted worldwide showing there is a high incidence rate for musculoskeletal disorders among dentists, dental hygienists and dental students. A systematic review
of data suggested that the prevalence of general musculoskeletal pain ranges between 64% and
95%. The most prevalent regions for pain in dentists were the back and neck, while the hand and
wrist regions were the most prevalent regions for dental hygienists. Studies have shown one of
the most frequent causes of premature retirement among dentists is musculoskeletal disorders.

Have you ever felt lost in a root canal? If so, this two-day program is right for you. This program
combines updates about the latest techniques, instruments and clinical strategies in endodontic
therapy. Lectures with relevant hands-on laboratory exercises ensure that participants take their
endodontic skills to the next level. Theoretical information will be effectively communicated by wellrecognized endodontic specialists.
Molar endodontics is deemed considerably more difficult than anterior or single-rooted premolar
root canal treatment. It is imperative for the clinician to assess case difficulty and make educated
treatment decisions in various clinical scenarios. Both basic concepts and solutions for complex
cases will be presented. Management of complications during endodontic therapy, pain control
and handling of emergency situations will also be discussed. These strategies, presented in an
evidence-based and easy to follow manner, will allow clinicians the opportunity to develop immediate strategies to solve these endodontic problems in their practices.
Presentations are accompanied by step-by-step, printed handouts and live, follow-along demonstrations in the simulation laboratory. Participants will have the opportunity to perform techniques on plastic blocks and real teeth, emphasizing clinical situations that can be encountered in multirooted teeth.
Exercises will include specific elements for molars and will concentrate on locating all canal orifices.
You Will Learn
To be familiar with diagnoses and related treatment plans
Access preparations that retain structural integrity, expose all orifices and allow
unimpeded entry into the root canals
Easy canal length determination using electronic apex locators and radiographic techniques
Cleaning and shaping procedures and strategies for single rooted and multirooted teeth using the most effective hand instrumentation and current concepts in rotary instrumentation
Root canal filling techniques using laterally compacted gutta-percha
Root canal filling using several warm filling techniques
Excellent course with very helpful and involved presenters.
