Repair and Protect Enamel with Remineralizing Agents
by Deborah Levin-Goldstein, RDH, MS
Caries is a dynamic disease process involving the cyclic demineralization and remineralization of the tooth structure. A key preventive approach is maintaining an oral environment favorable to remineralization. Fluoride's ability to promote remineralization is limited by the availability of calcium and phosphate in saliva. The four types of remineralizing therapeutics that attract calcium and phosphate will be discussed, as well as the caries process and CAMBRA.

Orthodontics in the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Complex Cases
by Dr. Miguel Hirschhaut
Orthodontics sets up the foundation for future prosthetics in cases with periodontal, surgical and restorative dentistry requirements. Adult orthodontics simplifies complex clinical situations, making it easier for restorative dentists to achieve better esthetic and functional results. Orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontics corrects skeletal discrepancies in order to prepare the patient for prosthodontic replacement of multiple missing teeth. We will illustrate through combined clinical cases the importance of orthodontics in setting up a proper occlusion prior to the restorative phase of treatment.

Patients to be restored with implants will be shown, to illustrate our protocol for combined orthodontic/prosthetic cases to restore form and function. This will further illustrate the importance of multidisciplinary dentistry to meet the goals of dentofacial total esthetics and masticatory function. These cases will show how orthodontics combines with distraction osteogenesis and conventional orthognathic surgery to remedy severe dentofacial deformities. Orthodontics combined with other dental specialties produces an end result that guarantees long-term periodontal health and produces a patient´s satisfaction with his or her dentofacial esthetics.

Success, Profitability & Destiny Begin with You
by Tuan Pham, DDS
 In this course, you will learn to see that through the principle of reframing, each and every problem and issue is an opportunity to find success. You will see how vision is important and that each and every decision we make will guide us towards our ultimate goal, and how a lack of vision leads to missteps.

You will learn that our technical hand skills are not actually our main job and that they are secondary to our job of education and imparting of value, which in turn leads to increased treatment-plan acceptance and profits. You will further learn how likability and the creation of likability are crucial to the success of our businesses because of the shift in public perception. You will see how education and implementation of nonclinical skills are crucial to your business growth and long-term profitability.

Realizing the Magic of Guided Surgery
by Dr. Sheldon Lerner
To some, “guided surgery” is a mixture of buzzwords, expensive tools, and tedious process flows. In this course, Dr. Sheldon Lerner pulls back the curtain and presents guided surgery as it is meant to be: tools that work for you, software that assists the implant planning process and surgical guides that improve the safety and accuracy of the implant placement. 

This course shows how to streamline the entire guided surgical process by giving full control to the user. Software can be a platform allowing users to control the entire planning and guide fabrication process, or enabling users to collaborate and so benefit from the help of labs or other dental professionals.

Dental Sleep Medicine: Sleep Principles and Oral Appliances
by Dr. Barry Glassman
Dentistry could and should be the No. 1 portal for patients into sleep medicine. What steps should the general dentist take in order to help benefit patients? As a general dentist, what factors will help you decide exactly how involved you should be in your patient’s treatment? In this two-hour presentation, we will discuss the principles of sleep medicine, and the role of dentistry in treating snoring and other obstructive sleep disorders. This honest look at sleep medicine will concentrate on the challenges that dentists face when incorporating dental sleep medicine into their practices.

Those viewing this presentation will begin to have a thorough understanding of dental sleep medicine and will be in a position to appropriately screen all their patients. As important, they will have the needed information to decide if they want to incorporate oral-appliance therapy into their offices and if so, what steps to take. The oral-appliance review will help them select and insert appliances and monitor appliance use
