Therapeutic Exercise – PNF for the Orthopedic Patient by Michael Moore, PT; Tim Fearon, PT, DPT

To register for this course, click here

Course Description
The purpose of this course is to bridge the gap from passive intervention to patient active rehabilitation and self management. Using the principles of PNF applied to the Orthopedic patient you will gain skill in designing truly therapeutic exercise from the early stage of an episode of care to discharge and beyond.

Day 1 will be taught by Michael Moore and will focus on applying PNF principles and techniques for the patient who is ready to transfer from passive intervention to patient active therapist guided techniques. You will develop skills in leveraging the patients neuromuscular system to give them the ability to change their own symptoms preparing for self directed exercise.

Day 2 will be taught by Tim Fearon and will focus on the transition from Day 1’s activities to truly patient directed activities for management of their own symptoms enabling them to drive towards independence

1. Identify the key changes in classification introduced in the 2017 guidelines and compare them with the 1999 version.
2. Discuss the new terminologies introduced in the 2017 classification.
3. Interpret the multi-dimensional staging and grading system for periodontitis classification.

Hot Topics in Advanced Care Dentistry

Presented by Maureen Munnelly Perry, DDS, MPA, MAEd

An increasing number of dental patients are on multiple medications that can potentially affect our everyday clinical practice. Evaluating the patient’s health status and ability to tolerate dental treatment becomes paramount. Which lab values and clinical tests can help practitioners reliably determine this? Such questions as: When do you need an INR? What does it tell you? What does the GFR value tell you about patients with renal disease? What levels are safe for outpatient treatment? Should you get a CTX for patients on bisphosphonates? An evidence-based approach to answering these questions and more will be presented.

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

1. Identify tests that are useful in predicting treatment outcomes.
2. Interpret the most common lab results relevant to clinical practice.
3. Implement the use of lab tests in clinical practice.

The Do’s and Don’ts of DSOs

Presented by Robert Anderson, DMD and Chet Jenkins, DDS

The business of dentistry is evolving quickly and is driven by a variety of influences including reduced utilization of dental care, decreased insurance reimbursements, influx of technological innovations, and higher costs of dental education, to name a few. This session will focus on the cumulative effect of these and many more influences on dental practice ownership. The number of dentists owning solo practices is declining markedly, and alternative models of care delivery are on the rise. Dental Support Organizations, or DSOs, in particular are growing rapidly and the trend is expected to continue. Could this make a difference for you and your business decisions?

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

1. Describe common dental office business models.
2. Discuss factors that may be driving dentists away from the solo practice model.
3. Differentiate between myth and reality regarding DSOs.
4. Discuss management recommendations for multisite dental businesses.

Laser is changing the way dentistry is viewed and practiced. Join us as we explore the value of laser assisted hygiene and its relationship to tissue healing as well as discuss the patient’s perception and expectations of lasers. In this comprehensive, hands-on clinical workshop participants will learn the adjunctive use of laser as a component of periodontal therapy and as a tool for risk management. Working with simulation exercises, detailed instrumentation photography and video, this course will allow practitioners to build clinical skills, confidence, and an understanding of periodontal treatment protocols using soft tissue dental lasers.

This course includes lecture and hands-on components and is in compliance with Arizona Administrative Code R4-11-601-H. Participants will be eligible to use soft tissue lasers in Arizona clinical practice upon course completion.

Program Objectives:

• Discuss the science of laser wavelengths and their absorption characteristics.
• Discuss the adjunctive use of laser in periodontal therapy and recall risk management.
• Apply clinical techniques and methods associated with laser disinfection and laser sulcular debridement.
• Identify the variables of laser energy protocols as they apply to the treatment of gingivitis, chronic, and aggressive periodontitis.
• Interpret tissue interaction when exposed to “warm” and “hot” laser settings and describe techniques to obtain optimum clinical results.
• Describe the specifics of initiated and bare fiber tip applications.
• Determine clinical decisions and laser treatment protocols.

Meet the Instructor:

Janet Press, RDH, has practiced in general and periodontal dentistry since 1975. Ms. Press received her soft tissue laser training through the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD) in 1995 and holds an ALD Fellowship.

Otoscan is a comprehensive ear scanning solution that provides a new, safe and easy way to make digital impressions for custom in-the-ear pieces such as earmolds and hearing aids. The scanning software transforms ear scans into digital image files that are ready to be used in 3D modeling production.

The human ear is a complex component of the human anatomy. As such, creating a digital scan of the ear which includes a dark and potentially curvy and narrow ear canal can be a significant technical challenge. Otoscan provides a solution to the barriers of a successful ear scan but its application does require a basic understanding of how Otoscan works as well as hands-on practice to master the scanning technique. This course provides the opportunity to address both requirements.

In addition to the validated patient benefits, we will review the overall operational and business benefits that Otoscan can provide to a clinic. For instance, a new workflow to the patient evaluation path could lead to increased business efficiencies and patient satisfaction. Compared to the traditionally passive silicone impression process, digital ear scanning could be converted to an active counseling tool that could help optimize the hearing aid selection and purchase process

As we get further into the course, participants will get to know the different hardware pieces that make up the Otoscan application including the scanner, the scanner cradle, a dedicated Otoscan laptop and a practice ear. In addition, the pAT Still University Otoscan Invitation Nov_2018_FINALarticipants will gain an understanding of how the different Otoscan lasers and cameras work together to create a scan and how these components influence scanning technique. Scanning workflow will also be discussed. In addition to a demo of live ear scanning, a brief overview of the Gaminfied in-depth training software and the applications used to scan and order products will be reviewed.

Learner Outcomes:
1. Explain the patient benefits, in addition, to the operational efficiencies that digitizing the analog silicone earmold impression process can provide for the hearing healthcare provider.
2. Describe how custom hearing devices could help providers differentiate and segment their offerings from over-the-counter options.
3. Describe how Otoscan utilizes two different lasers to obtain a complete and accurate scan of the patient’s ear canal.
