What’s New in Continuing Education?

by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education
Everybody’s home from another great Townie Meeting in Vegas. Once again this meeting was the perfect blend of CE and fun, and nobody should miss it next year!

There have been new additions to Dentaltown’s CE courses in the last couple of weeks.

Todd Ehrlich’s second of a series of CAD/CAM courses – “Characterization of CAD/CAM Restorations: Posterior” – has been a great help to CAD/CAM users who want to bring a little “life” with perfect stain and glazing to their restorations. Our imaging and milling capabilities have come so far over the years, but one thing remains certain: characterization of the ceramic is necessary for a higher level of aesthetics. This video is for doctors currently characterizing their restorations, as well as for doctors and assistants that are starting to explore the opportunities with custom characterization and achieve great results. Learn from the master!

Dr. Leonard Tau is a wet-fingered dentist just like the rest of us and he has mastered the use of social media marketing to take his practice to new levels! Social media involves creating a buzz about your practice, building word of mouth, showing you care and encouraging conversation. In his course, “21st Century Marketing: Why Social Media for Your Dental Office” he will share his ideas and strategies that have helped him grow his practice over the years. Whether it is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., he gives simple instructions on how to use them all to bring new patients to your practice.

How about a “golden oldie” from the Dentaltown CE archives? And this time I really do mean a golden one. “Excellence in Cast Gold” by Dr. Michael Hrankowski is a great overview of the techniques for conservative cast gold restorations as originally developed by Dr. Richard V. Tucker. Included in this course is discussion on preparation designs including 7/8 and 3/4 crowns, onlays, and inlays in standard configurations, seating, finishing and polishing procedures. This is for you gold lovers out there. You know who you are.

Enjoy learning from the comfort of your home!
