This course aims to cover the following objectives, which will be presented in five individual online modules:
Appreciate the benefits of routine evaluation of patient-rated outcome measures as it pertains to patient-centered, whole person health care, evidence-based practice, and driving treatment decisions
Define and describe fundamental concepts of clinical outcomes assessment included disablement models, clinician vs. patient-rated outcomes, generic vs. specific patient-rated outcome measures, and single vs. multi-item patient-rated outcome measures
Identify commonly used patient-rated outcome measures for use in athletic populations
Implement strategies to evaluate patient outcomes in clinical practice
Discuss the value of using outcomes data collection for professional advancement

Please note that following the five modules, you will be asked to answer 10 knowledge questions about the content presented in the modules. Additionally, be sure to view each module in its entirety. It is recommended to take notes as you will not be permitted to return to a module once you have proceeded forward.

Although injury prevention is a domain for athletic trainers (ATs), implementation science is a burgeoning area and many ATs may not have had specific education on preventive training program (PTP) implementation. This course aims to describe the most recent evidence on the benefits PTPs have on athlete injury risk, injury rate and sport performance. Additionally, ATs may not have the time to run PTPs every single day in their clinical setting. Coaches, particularly at the high school level do not utilize PTPs.  ATs can train coaches to effectively implement PTPs with their athletes, however ATs may not have background on the most effective strategies to train coaches. This course will present a framework that ATs can use to begin the PTP implementation process within their own settings.

The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:

1. Discuss the current state of evidence for preventive training programs (PTPs)
2. Describe the 7-steps for successful PTP design and development
3. Prepare strategies for PTP implementation in different sport-specific or setting-specific scenarios, including but not limited to, youth sport, girls’ basketball, and the military.

According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Essential Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are the most common injuries associated with physical activity and athletic participation. Up to 70% of individuals who sustain a single LAS will eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI), which has been associated with long-term consequences such as decreased health-related quality of life and decreased physical activity. To help mitigate consequences related to CAI, recent studies have investigated different approaches in managing patients who suffer a LAS, including the use of patient-reported outcome measures, clinician-reported outcome measures, and various treatment approaches. Although LAS present a major challenge for health care providers, particularly athletic trainers, little is known about the overall effectiveness of current treatment strategies for LAS. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatment strategies that will optimize patient outcomes and reduce re-injury risk.

While treatments should be individualized, balance training has been shown to be an effective strategy to improve postural control and reduce recurrent LAS risk, and should be a part of every LAS rehabilitation protocol. ATs should use a combination of patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures to guide the treatment and management of LAS and to improve patient outcomes, reduce the risk of LAS re-injury, and prevent the onset of CAI.

The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:

1. Discuss the progression of an acute lateral ankle sprain to chronic ankle instability
2. Describe the evidence regarding the treatment of lateral ankle sprain injuries
3. Identify patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures appropriate for lateral ankle sprain rehabilitation

According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Advanced Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Course Description:

While the typical bleaching tray fabrication is well described, sometimes there are situations for which either different tray fabrication options or different impression techniques may serve the patient and the practice better. In this pandemic when typical alginate impressions may not be desirable on some patients, thermoplastic trays may be indicated for children, orthodontic patients, high caries patients, while splints may need a different approach as well.

4. Discuss different types of novel bleaching tray fabrication technique other than conventional, including thermoplastic trays and impression techniques
5. Discuss different methods for splint fabrication made directly in the mouth or on any articulator

Meet the Presenter:

Haywood, D.M.D., is a Professor in the Department of Restorative Sciences, Dental College of Georgia @ Augusta University.  In 1989, he co-authored the first publication in the world on Nightguard vital bleaching (at-home tray bleaching), and in 1997 co-authored the first article on extended treatment (six-months) of tetracycline-stained teeth using this tray technique. He has completed further research and over 145 publications on the tray bleaching technique and the topic of bleaching and esthetics, including first papers on treating bleaching sensitivity with potassium nitrate, direct thermoplastic tray fabrication, bleaching primary teeth, and caries control with bleaching materials. Many of these articles are on his free website www.vanhaywood.com.  He teaches in the Fixed Prosthodontics courses, the Occlusion course, and the Esthetics course, as well as in sophomore and junior student Fixed and Operative clinics.

Radiographic Interpretation: Benign or malignant and how to tell the difference

 Date:                    Friday, April 16, 2021

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

Location:               Zoom

Audience:              Professional Dental Community

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              1.5 credits

Tuition:                  $59

Course Description:

With the adoption of cone beam CT technology, the dental practitioner is required to manage significantly more anatomical information and potentially more knowledge of maxillofacial pathoses than with 2D imaging. A more comprehensive understanding of how to recognize pathoses in CBCT volumes is required to recognize and describe abnormalities. A very significant part of this task is to be able to find and differentiate benign from malignant lesions. This course is designed to prepare the dental practitioner to systematically review a CBCT volume, recognize and categorize signs of abnormalities and how to tell the difference between benign and malignant lesions.

Learning Objectives:

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

1. Know the five principles of radiologic interpretation
2. Be familiar with the language and terminology for radiographic description
3. List the seven radiographic signs for differentiating benign lesions from malignant lesions
4. Be able to differentiate benign from malignant lesions

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.

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.
