Treating Anterior Discolorations: Microabrasions, Resin Infiltration, and Bleaching

Date:                      Thursday, December 9, 2021

Time:                      7:00 PM CST, 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST

Location:               Zoom

Audience:              The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              2.0 credits

Tuition:                  $69

Course Description:

Not every patient who has discolorations on their front teeth needs to have veneers. Minimally invasive treatments, such as microabrasion, resin infiltration or just bleaching may allow patients to achieve an esthetically pleasing esthetic outcome without the tooth removal and maintenance required with veneers. And many patients have small discolorations for which they desire esthetic improvement but do not wish to undergo veneers. Treating these lesions can be relatively easy with these minimally invasive treatments. Therefore, the aim of this course is to help the clinician determine which treatment is suited for different types of lesions, make the clinician familiar with the different products available, and show the clinician the tips and pitfalls of each procedure.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Teach the diagnosis of different types of tooth discolorations
• Describe the products available
• Present a step-by-step method for each treatment

Did you know that one-third of dentists who retire early are forced to, due to a musculoskeletal disorder? Untreated chronic pain can result in physical and financial disaster!  Now, more than ever, during the COVID-19 pandemic, mental stress can add to physical demands in the operatory, resulting in pain. Due to the multi-factorial nature of work-related pain in dentistry, rarely does a single intervention (i.e. new loupes, strength training) permanently resolve chronic pain issues. Research reveals 5 key areas that are essential to effectively resolving work-related pain in dentistry.  The sequence in which these are implemented is also integral to successfully resolving pain. This dynamic, interactive webinar introduces ground-breaking education that can help rejuvenate your love of doing dentistry and transform your life!

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Learn the etiologies of work-related pain in dentistry.
• Discover the single most important dental ergonomic intervention to prevent neck pain.
• Implement a technique to easily down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system in the operatory.
• Discover how painful trigger points develop in dental professionals, and a self-treatment protocol.
• Discover which types of stretches are most beneficial and how to perform them.
• Learn how to correct painful muscle imbalances with proper exercise.

Endogastritis: Causes and Cures

Date:                      Sunday, July 18, 2021

Time:                      10:00 AM CST, 11 AM EST, 8 AM PST

Location:              Zoom

Audience:             The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              2.0 credits

Tuition:                  $69

Course Description:

Endogastritis has been defined as pain in the abdomen¹—particularly the mucous membrane lining of the stomach—caused by untoward incidents that occur during root canal therapy or are discovered following root canal therapy. Such symptoms may arise upon:

1) Seeing red in the post preparation or noticing a post perforation in the post cementation radiograph;

2) Placing a 21mm instrument in a root canal and having only 18mm of length attached to the handle when you remove it;

3) Locating a fractured root requiring extraction;

4) Finding most of the post remaining in the root when the patient’s crown unexpectedly dislodges.

The treatment for endogastritis is prevention of the underlying problem. When you are faced with the predicament, the best approach is a period of contemplation followed by a coordinated treatment plan to correct it.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the concept of Endogastritis and how to prevent it
• Develop a treatment for root perforation repair.
• Establish a treatment approach for fractured post removal

4 Key Strategies in Managing a Periodontal Patient in a Changing Practice Environment

Date:                        Sunday, May 23, 2021

Time:                      10:00 AM CST, 11 AM EST, 8 AM PST

Location:               Zoom

Audience:              The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              2.0 credits

Tuition:                  $69

Course Description:

Being effective in incorporating periodontics into the practice of dentistry can be a challenge in today’s environment.  However, adhering to a mission of quality patient care, enhanced mental/physical well-being, with positive financial growth can overcome any respective hurdles. We examine effective strategies to create a workflow that results in positive periodontal case acceptance. Current relationships between periodontal diseases and susceptibility to viral infections is demonstrated. By building on a growth area in periodontics from nonsurgical to surgical procedures especially with the “over 55” population produces net gain with reduced overhead. Being discriminate on technology assets with a selection producing value added revenue results in a unique practice niche that adds new patients and retains existing patients.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Utilize the perio systemic link to get positive patient return and case acceptance with focus on their overall health.

1. Introduce the dental hygienist as the new patient coordinator from data collection to debridement in one appointment.
2. Create strategies and implement an oral hygiene product market center
3. Take a mundane recall appointment and turn it into one of the most valuable 45-60 minutes spent in the practice.
