Expand Your Practice and Save a Life With Oral Cancer Examination Techniques

Managing TMD: What Dentists Should Know
by Dr. Eric Schiffman
Trauma is the most common cause of pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD). More than half of trauma cases (61%) result from patients opening their mouth too wide or too long.

You will be ready the next time your patient complains of painful TMD during or after a dental procedure.

Fluorescence Enhanced Theragnosis in Cariology
by Dr. Liviu Steier

Minimal invasive treatment approaches are still undervalued and underperformed as a consequence of the limited information’s granted by the described classic approach. This course introduces the concept of fluorescence enhanced theragnosis in cariology. For a limited time, there will be no charge to view this CE course due to the sponsorship of Designs for Vision.

From Simple Occlusal Adjustments to Treating Occlusal Neurotics
by Dr. Barry Glassman
We have all dealt with a postrestorative complaint and corrected it by adjusting a “high spot” that was inadvertently created during the procedure. Almost without fail, a single adjustment resolves the complaint. We’ve also all dealt with patients who were hyperaware of their occlusion. This course is geared for the general dentist who wants to improve daily occlusal adjustments in restorative therapy and learn how to deal with more complex occlusal issues.
