Get your 2013 CE credits completed now! We
have some great recently released courses that are worth
checking out even if you don’t need the credits.
The 180-Degree Dental Journey
Part One: The 180-Degree Mindset
by Dr. Michael Abernathy
Over the last two decades, dentistry has experienced
phenomenal growth, but at a great price. This
course will take you through the basics of teamwork
and leadership to advanced staging to develop a culture
of the “Super General Dental Practice” of the future.
This course takes you through the science of demographics,
strategic planning, and onto what has held
you back from becoming the practice you always
thought you would be. Get ready to be surprised at the
complex reasons you continue to fall short of where
you know you could be, while learning how simple and
predictable the solutions can be to implement. This is
the first of a six-part series. The series gives you every
step to thrive in dentistry in any location or economy.
The first lecture in this series is free to view! But be
warned... you will become hooked on Dr. Abernathy
and will have to watch the remaining five parts.
Sweeping Away the Myths in Orthodontics:
The Extraction/Non-Extraction Debate
by Dr. Richard A. Litt
In recent years a great deal of misinformation
has been presented in the
name of continuing education in
orthodontics. Misrepresentation of
credentials, as well as empirical or
anecdotal support for clinical procedures,
without any biological basis,
have been used to promote orthodontic
procedures to the general or pediatric
dentist incorporating orthodontics into
their practices.
It is time to hear the facts! If you
are presently practicing orthodontics
or intend to incorporate
orthodontics into your practice, you owe it to yourself
to separate fact from fiction. This course does just that
in the controversial topic of whether we should extract
premolars to make space.
Enhancing Restorative Results with
Crown Lengthening
by Dr. James Kohner
This course covers methods, limitations and benefits
of both aesthetic and functional crown lengthening.
Whether you do it yourself or refer out, this course
will leave you with a better understanding of these
principles to help patients enjoy better results. The
course emphasizes decision making for a variety of case
types to facilitate comprehensive clinical treatment
planning. Learn to make diagnostic decisions from Xrays
alone and understand how biologic width impacts
your every decision related to crown preparation and
impression taking. Discussion will include issues like
red or sore gum tissue around crowns, obtaining more
predictable impressions, solving everyday restorative
problems and learning how to avoid them.
Fundamentals of Veneer Preparation
by Dr. David Hornbrook
The fundamentals of correct veneer preparation is
something that is rarely addressed in dental school and
often skipped over in many of the cosmetic courses on
smile designs and full-mouth rehabilitations. A thorough
understanding of how to correctly prepare the
teeth for veneers is as important as understanding
ceramic materials and correct adhesive principles.
Improper preparation can compromise aesthetics and
functional final results.
In this presentation, Dr. Hornbrook discusses the
use of a wax-up done by the laboratory and the use of
preparation matrices to ensure predictable and repeatable
results. He also discusses detailed preparation
designs including correct margin placement, how to
alter preparation with diastemas and how to address
existing Class III composites and interproximal caries.
A special section discusses preparation design for premolars
with existing restorations and the use of 3Ž4
reverse crowns to provide conservative, long-lasting
restorations for our patients.
Dentaltown has CE courses from Townie
Meeting! We recorded eight of the lectures (next year
we plan on 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, more incentive to go to next year’s
Townie Meeting. For those of you who were not at
this year’s 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 of course we have available here on
Dentaltown, Dr. Howard Farran’s One-Day Dental
MBA. 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!
