Maximizing Your Long Term Restorative Success

Every day you face decisions on what to use, what are the critical steps, and most importantly, how to deliver sensitive free long lasting restorations. This course is about expanding your approaches in direct and indirect restorations with a greater emphasis on preservation of tooth structure. In the three hours we have, both research and step by step clinical casework will be presented and change on how you look at your restorative practices. From direct to in-directs, an approach that will make you think and provide the care you will be glowing to provide. Buckle up!

Highlights:

  • Diagnostically driven instruments to assist your team
  • Dentin protective removal procedures for all your restorative procedures
  • Rebuilding teeth with dentin and enamel substitution for your direct restorations
  • The latest materials utilizing time proven results: from bonding agents, glass ionomers to all those cements, a simplified approach to many of your questions

Advancements in Direct and Indirect Adhesive Dentistry

The general dentist today continues to be overwhelmed with today's options for restorative treatments. This course will try to both bring a full understanding to how and what to use along with choices for successful restorative care. The premise of the course is "additive" dentistry where one preserves tooth structure versus "subtractive" dentistry where there is often too much tooth structure removed.

Integrating a Sound Hygiene/Restorative Practice
This full day program will challenge the hygiene/doctor team to diagnose, communicate and work together in a far closer relationship than simply a traditional hygiene practice. In today's office's, customization of patient care and delivering a value oriented approach become essential for today's practices. The overall health of a practice is often defined by the hygiene team and this program will present a comprehensive approach to creating far more success for the practice.

Updates in General Dentistry - A Day of Mini Courses
Everyday dentistry is the highlight of our day together. The course will begin with a full understanding of Zirconia restorations and all of their clinical applications. From single units, implants to anterior smile design, the essence of predictability is what this section is all about. Highlights include the latest in impression procedures along with digital impressions, and laboratory communication with the latest software. Our day continues with Direct Pulp Capping and what do you do when you see pink or a bleeding pulpal horn. A step by step approach to preserving the pulp will be presented and truly make you think! We continue with a look at the most often overlooked aspect of adhesion dentistry, lights. It’s not just about output but so much more. Our day will close with updates on direct adhesion dentistry, and not the same old story. New products, techniques and great discussion will occur throughout our day together.

Understanding the World of Conservative Dentistry: Applying Today’s Materials into Your Office
With patients living longer healthier lives, this course will focus on the science and clinical techniques that will allow patients to retain their dentition. The latest advancements in Adhesion Dentistry and dental technology are fundamental to implementing the principles of Conservative Dentistry into your practice. This full day course will transition the participant into the next era of Adhesion Dentistry.
