There are some great CE courses being released on
Dentaltown right now. These courses are now part of
the ever-expanding lineup of CE that we have online at
Dentaltown.com.
First of all, Dentaltown is proud to host Dr. Carl
Misch's first-ever online CE course - Rationale for
Implants: Complete Edentulism. The goal of modern
dentistry is to return patients to normal function, aesthetics,
speech and health. The completely edentulous
patient is more in need than any other patient. Yet, less
than three percent of a dentists' time is spent treating
this section of the population.
There are 20 million people in the U.S. who are
missing all their teeth. Once the teeth are lost, not only
are function, speech and health reduced, there is loss of
bone. The bone loss after tooth loss might be more
than 20mm in height of bone in each jaw. As a consequence,
facial aesthetics are severely compromised.
Dental implants stimulate bone and prevent the
gross bone loss after tooth loss. As a result, facial aesthetics
are maintained since muscle attachments are
not affected and atrophy of bone and muscle does not
occur. Hence, dental implants not only return a
patient to normal function and improved speech, dental
and facial aesthetics are vastly improved as a result
of dental implants in the complete edentulous patient.
This program reviews the benefits of
implant treatment for edentulous
patients. The dental team should
be aware of the consequences of
complete tooth loss and the benefits
of dental implants.
Also released this month, Creating Natural-looking Implantretained
Removable Prosthesis by Dr.
Arnold Liebman (which ties in very
nicely with Dr. Misch's CE course).
Natural-looking implant-retained
prostheses are beautiful and functional
when they follow smile
design principles and replicate
nature. A natural-looking
prosthesis acts as your calling card, which provides
referrals and opens a conversation for implantretained
to full implant fixed cases. This CE course
makes the process easy and predictable. Step-by-step
procedures are shown with patient cases to create
Natural Looking Prosthesis (NLP) in a simple and
predictable method. The themes of the presentation
are: by making a realistic and natural prosthesis it provides more referrals and that by offering removable
you open a conversation of implant-retained cases,
which have high acceptance.
Last month the first CE courses from Townie
Meeting were put online. We recorded eight of the
lectures (next year we plan on getting many more) and
they are all up for viewing in our CE section. If you
attended the Townie Meeting, there is no cost to view
any of them which is, of course, is more incentive to
go to next year's Townie Meeting! Sign up this month
and receive 40 percent off tuition for the 2014 Townie
Meeting. For those of you who were not at this year's
Townie Meeting, we are offering each course for the
low price of $18 to view. For the whole series of eight,
we are giving a further price break of $126.
And don't miss the first course from Spear
Education Series of Online CE on Dentaltown
Connecting Teeth and Implants by Dr. Frank Spear.
For most restorative dentists connecting teeth and
implants can be very confusing. What are the risks
and benefits to connecting? When is it safe and when
is it not indicated? This course teaches the mechanics
of connection and the risks associated with it. There
are times when connecting teeth and implants is necessary
or even preferable to other options available for
the success of the restorative dentistry. Those situations
are discussed and illustrated by Dr. Spear with
case successes and failures shown to give a thorough
understanding of what to do and what not to do.
And, of course, Dr. Howard Farran's One-Day
Dental MBA is available of Dentaltown. Dr. Farran shares
his proven techniques to increase your productivity, boost
your bottom line and build your business. Don't miss his
live and unfiltered insights on dentistry and business
along with an insider's view of his dental practice.
Enjoy learning from the comfort of your home!
