This past month we have released these excellent
CE courses:
Bruxism: Diagnosing Types of Tooth Wear
by Lee Ann Brady, DMD
Wear is a common problem we see in our practices.
Deciding how to help our patients preserve their tooth
structure and dental health depends on the cause of the
wear. At the top of the list are attrition, caused by rubbing
the teeth together and erosion where the teeth dissolve
due to the presence of acid. Additionally, we can see tooth
wear from abrasion, caused by abrasive toothpastes and
other oral hygiene products and abfraction, which is a loss
of cervical tooth structure due to occlusal forces.
This program will describe the diverse clinical presentations
that differentiate between the types of tooth wear.
Determining which tooth surfaces are losing mass and
showing signs of wear is a key first step to knowing the
cause. Erosive patterns can occur on any tooth surfaces,
whether the patient can occlude there or not. Often these
patterns are unique to the cause of the acid, helping differentiate
between GERD, Bulimia or Citrus Mulling.
Attrition displays wear facets that are flat in character with
the enamel and dentin being level, unlike erosion where
the dentin disappears in depressions.
The 180-Degree Dental Journey:
Part Three: Team Development Strategies
by Michael Abernathy, DDS
Team development also
includes the doctor. Defining and
communicating your vision and
what is core to your practice is
essential in having team members
commit to its success. Far too
many offices have only a group of
people working rather than the
synergistic effect of a team. All
strategies from hiring, training, developing a vision, follow
through and tracking will be covered. The course also
takes a look at how to structure a bonus system that will
continue to drive your overhead down while incentivizing
your staff to go far beyond the average office.
You will be able to assemble, train, incentivize and
structure a human resource powerhouse to guarantee you
continued growth and profitability regardless of the economy
or location. This is Part III of a six-part series that, as
a whole, gives you every step to thrive in dentistry in any
location or economy. Currently this CE course is being
offered at only $18 to view.
