Variants of Normal Anatomy that May Simulate Disease on Conventional and Advanced Images

Date & Time:        Saturday, January 29, 2022 – 11:00 AM (EST), 10:00 AM (CST), 8:00 AM (PST)

Location:               Zoom Webinar

Audience:              The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              2.0

Tuition:                  $69

 Course Description:

Determination of variation of normal radiographic anatomy is one of the greatest challenges for practicing dentists as the range of normality is a grey area. Normal anatomy shows variable radiographic morphology that may result from a variation in normal anatomy or image acquisition factors. A clear knowledge of normal radiographic anatomy and imaging principles is essential to recognize these variants and avoid unnecessary or even harmful treatments. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the normal variations of the oral and maxillofacial region that may be misinterpreted as pathology. A variety of imaging modalities including two-dimensional conventional radiographs and three-dimensional advanced images will be used to illustrate different views of these normal variants.

 Learning Objectives:

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

1. Recognize normal, variant of normal and abnormal structures
2. Provide a systematic approach to the interpretation of conventional and advanced images
3. Understand and differentiate between real images and artifacts

Static Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery

Date & Time:        Monday, January 24, 2022 – 8:00 PM (EST), 7:00 PM (CST), 5:00 (PST)

Location:               Zoom Webinar

Audience:              The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              1.5

Tuition:                  $59

Course Description:

Prosthetically-driven implant dentistry is the optimal approach to treating patients with dental implants. Such an approach necessitates detailed pre-treatment planning to ensure an accurate three-dimensional (3-D) implant position is achieved within the alveolar bone relative to the planned prosthetic restoration. Static guidance systems communicate the predetermined virtual implant position to the surgical operating scene, using a rigid surgical implant template or guide. In the past 25-years, imaging and surgical techniques have developed both in accuracy and methodology. While these developments seem to be promising, a more comprehensive understanding is required for proper preparation and execution of computer assisted implant surgery.

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!

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.
