Continuing Education Update Howard M. Goldstein, DMD



by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education

Welcome to 2015!
We just finished another great year of CE on Dentaltown and I would like to thank all of the amazing educators who have contributed and have made Dentaltown the top location for quality dental continuing education. Just a reminder: Every course released after December 2011 is viewable on your iPad and Android tablets! This last month we released more excellent CE courses on Dentaltown. Below are recently released courses.

Latest Tooth Replacement Techniques with Cerec. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014
by Michael Skramstad, DDS
This presentation will cover advanced tooth-replacement options with the new V4.2 software. This includes milled e.max CAD custom abutments, resin-bonded bridges and full contour bridges.

Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions
by John Maggio, DDS
In this evidence-based course, Dr. John Maggio provides specific indications for restoring these lesions. Materials are compared and contrasted. Soft-tissue management is addressed. Techniques are introduced to simplify the restorative process and increase chances of success. Many cases are presented to directly apply this information to the daily practice of dentistry.

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns
by Josh Wren, DMD
With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those under 19, there will be more than 3,000,000 pediatric patients added to 150,000 dental practices. Treating children may become a necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns are procedures that are often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients.

This course will alleviate any fear that leads to this misperception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulptomy, and pulpectomy will be discussed with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stainless steel crowns will also be discussed and procedural steps thoroughly explained and shown. Pulp therapy nor stainless steel crowns are possible without effective anesthetic techniques, thus this course also discusses Dr. Wren's process for the utilization of nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and local anesthesia in order to achieve a painless injection 100 percent of the time. If you are treating children in your practice, this course is a must.

And for more Pediatric Pearls from Dr. Wren, join him and Dentaltown on February 6 in Fort Lauderdale for Dentaltown Learning Live. Eight live CE credits will be given for this full-day event with Dr. Wren. Register at dentaltown.com/wrenevent.

Ceramic Dental Implants in Everyday Practice
by Dan Hagi, DDS, FAGD, FICOI, FMI I
Contrary to popular belief, titanium is not the only implant material. One-piece zirconia oxide implants can overcome the problems we associate with two-piece and one-piece titanium root form implants. It will be shown how this treatment option is no longer experimental and that the zirconia oxide material shows excellent ability to osseointegrate, is phenomenallystrong, and provides a soft tissue profile and health around the implants that rivals natural teeth.

This presentation will make you rethink your titanium armamentarium. You will see a way to provide your patients with an ideal tooth replacement option. An implant that looks like a tooth, restores like a tooth, and has the periodontal health that rivals that of a tooth without the fear of screw loosening, metal showing, and peri-implantitis caused by subgingival connections.

Buying a Dental Practice: There is More to it Than Price. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014
by Tim Lott
This presentation is designed to educate the prospective buyer on how to approach the financial due-diligence aspect of buying a dental practice. You will learn what information you need to look at, how to piece the information together and how to analyze that information to formulate an offer. You will also learn some of the other aspects of the purchase process so you will be prepared when you locate a practice you want to purchase. Recorded live at Townie Meeting 2014.

Why Did I Get Out of Bed Today? Tales from a Comprehensive Dentist. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014
by John Nosti, DMD, FAGD, FACE, FICOI
Failures in dentistry are unfortunately a way of practice. Despite this possibility, when they occur there is still an emotional and mental strain placed on the practitioner. John Nosti discusses case failures and shares moments he wished he stayed in bed! From this he will review treatments he would have changed and what he wouldn't. A candid lecture that was presented at the Townie Meeting 2014 and that you won't want to miss.
