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


Townie Meeting is happening later this month and it's a can't-miss opportunity of live CE! But on Dentaltown.com we are constantly releasing great new courses every month and you don't have to travel to Las Vegas to get them. All these courses can be viewed on a tablet, Android, and other mobile devices.
Released recently on Dentaltown…

The Aesthetic Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
by Dr. John Nosti
Please do yourself a favor and take John's newest amazing CE course on Dentaltown Learning Online. Full-mouth rehabilitations are some of the most difficult cases to handle in practice today. Many times these patients have advanced occlusal breakdown, along with the presence of a temporomandibular joint internal derangement. Learn how these internal derangements are classified and how they affect the long-term prognosis of your case.

Dr. John Nosti details the diagnostic records necessary and steps he completes in performing a full-mouth rehabilitation, including understanding vertical dimension and how and why to make changes. He also shares the “how to” in completing the bite records necessary in increased vertical dimension cases, both prior to and during the preparation appointment. Preparation sequencing is key in full-mouth reconstructions, and Dr. Nosti gives you a simplified approach to tackling these complex cases.

Endodontics in Depth: Modern Controlled Memory Navigation of Highly Curved Canals
by Chaniotis Antonis, DDS, MDSc
The internal anatomy of human teeth consists of a highly complicated network of multi- planar curved, anastomotic canals, as seen in studies of root canal anatomy. Navigating efficiently, safely and predictably has been a matter of extensive effort and research over the years. The ultimate objective had always been the safe and predictable three-dimensional, chemo-mechanical debridement and obturation of the root canal system.

Thorough instrumentation and enlargement of the apical region to achieve root canal disinfection has long been considered a crucial factor in the cleaning and shaping process. Greater apical preparations have the potential to more efficiently remove the debris and allow proper irrigation to the apical part of the canals. On the other hand, instrumentation with conventional rotary or reciprocating NiTi files to larger apical diameters has the potential to generate cracks on the apical surface and induce dentinal damage and transportation in curved canals. Recently, a novel NiTi alloy with flexible properties called CM wire (controlled memory wire) was introduced in the market. CM rotary files are extremely flexible and fatigue resistant, but without the shape memory of conventional NiTi files.

The lack of shape memory and the superior flexibility of controlled memory files provide them the ability to follow the anatomy, reducing the risk of dentinal damage, even when larger apical preparations are required. This course is designed to thoroughly discuss the potential of delivering larger apical preparations in extremely curved or double-curved canal systems efficiently, safely and predictably by taking advantage of the controlled memory alloy properties. Never fear curved canals and file breakage again!

The New OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
by Leslie Canham, CDA, RDA
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. This update to the Hazard Communication Standard will provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets.

The revised standard will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information in the workplace, making it safer for workers by providing easily understandable information on appropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals. Employers are required to provide training to employees on the new Hazard Communication Standard. This course satisfies this requirement.

Same-Day Dentistry: Integration of CAD/CAM Technology in Your Office
by Dr. Dhaval Patel
Dr. Patel shows how he performs dentistry with the CEREC Omnicam. This information will help you provide same-day service, since patients often want to avoid multiple trips to dental offices. This will lead to word-of-mouth referrals and help build a successful practice. Recorded live at Townie Meeting 2014!

Get Ahead of the Crowd with Digitally Designed Implants
by Dr. Scott Sauer
The placement and restoration of single-posterior implants utilizing cone beam and CAD/CAM technology is state of the art now. As the demand for implant services continues to increase, digital technology allows us to place and restore implants with greater predictability and functionality, and better esthetics. As more general dentists are offering implant services, this technology can set you apart from the competition by allowing you to provide your patients with implants that are simpler, quicker and cost effective. Recorded live at Townie Meeting 2014!

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy, and Stainless-Steel Crowns
by Dr. Josh Wren
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 or the unknown 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. Neither 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 truly painless injection 100 percent of the time. If you are treating children in your practice, this course is a must!
