SUMMARY:Treating Caries Chemically: Think like an atom
DESCRIPTION:Clinical practice today uses scientifically sound evidence-based approaches. There is a noticeable shift to the caries treatment paradigm by better preventing and managing caries as a disease. \n\n\n\nThis presentation aims to provide a comprehensive scientific overview of caries risk assessment\, along with the utilization of chemical treatments for caries disease at the patient level and minimally invasive dentistry (MID) at the tooth level. New tools\, such as the ADA Caries Classification System (ADA CCS)\, selective caries removal\, and chemical approaches like silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and glass ionomer cement (GIC)\, will be explored in detail. Additionally\, practical clinical cases will be presented to illustrate these concepts effectively. \n\n\n\nThe presentation provides an excellent update relevant to clinical applications for the dentist\, dental therapist\, hygienist\, assistant\, and front office.

SUMMARY:ONSITE: Practical Tips and Tricks for Clinical Practice: AM: Geriatric Dentistry and Oral Medicine. PM: Functional Occlusion for the Advanced General Practice
DESCRIPTION:Geriatric Dentistry and Oral Medicine:By the end of this decade\, the US will have the largest population over 65 years of age than in the nation’s entire history. Longevity comes with consequences. The older population has greater need for medical and dental care and\, in fact\, utilizes 80% of the the country’s medical services: they take multiple daily medicines that manage multiple concurrent chronic medical and dental diseases. The dental care of this population requires specific knowledge\, not only of special dental therapies\, but more importantly\, a formal algorithm to safely manage and treat complex and medically fragile patients.Occlusion for the Advanced General Practice:Occlusion is the great “common denominator” in clinical dentistry. Occlusion affects the success or failure in nearly every discipline including esthetic dentistry\, restorative dentistry\, implant dentistry\, periodontics\, and orthodontics. When occlusion is planned and managed correctly\, dentistry functions better and lasts longer.

SUMMARY:Autoimmune Disease and Dentistry
DESCRIPTION:You would have to be living in a cave not to notice the increase in autoimmune diseases recently. There are currently over 100 autoimmune diseases and experts think those are only the tip of the iceberg. Some of these diseases directly impact the oral cavity in a significant\, sometimes devastating\, way.  In addition\, medications used to treat these conditions have important side effects and interactions the dental team needs to understand in order to provide safe and effective care for these patients. Dr. Huffines will begin with an easy-to-understand update on how our amazing immune system works. Then we will explore what causes the body’s immune system to attack itself – autoimmune disease. Some of the most important autoimmune diseases that impact the oral cavity or the delivery of dental care will be described. You may be shocked to find out what common diseases have an autoimmune component. Are the Autoimmune Diets a gimmick or are some scientifically valid? The dental implications of Post-COVID Syndrome\, a largely autoimmune condition affecting over 16 million in the United States\, will be covered in detail. Finally\, attendees will be given specific recommendations on how to answer a medical consult requesting dental clearance before patients begin certain chemotherapeutic interventions. Join Dr. Huffines for a comprehensive overview of this important and rapidly developing dental field.

SUMMARY:Understanding the TMJ and its Relationship to Occlusion and Airway: A Radiographic Exploration
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this course is to teach clinicians how to look for radiographic diagnostic clues that may indicate the presence of TMD or Sleep-disordered breathing in their dental patients. Taught by Dr. Dania Tamimi\, an Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist and author of a textbook on the subject\, “Specialty Imaging: Temporomandibular joint”\, the course will include a comprehensive review of TMJ and upper respiratory tract anatomy as visualized on CBCT and MRI volumes. She will review the growth and development of the TMJ and how dysfunction can change the morphology of the oral and maxillofacial complex\, including the airway\, and how to diagnose some of these dysfunctions using CBCT. The relationship of the TMJs and airway to the occlusion will be discussed in light of bite changes that may affect the final restorative and orthodontic outcome if undiagnosed. With the correct diagnosis of the patient comes higher likelihood of treatment outcome success. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\nTo review the MRI and CBCT imaging of the TMJ\n\n\n\nTo familiarize the participant with the normal anatomy of the major contributors to TMD and sleep-disordered breathing\n\n\n\nUnderstanding the correlation between TMD\, facial asymmetry\, occlusion and airway and how it presents radiographically

SUMMARY:HYBRID COURSE - Functional Consideration in Esthetic Dentistry
DESCRIPTION:Most modern dentists have developed vast knowledge in esthetics\, occlusion\, and restorative dentistry. However\, when presented with a complex case many clinicians have difficulty deciding where to start\, what materials to use\, and the proper sequence for treatment. With modern ceramic materials and implants\, the chance for catastrophic failure due to interference with function is greatly increased. Dr. McDonald will discuss proper positioning of the teeth utilizing functional-esthetic guidelines and outline a system for diagnosis and treatment sequencing of complex restorative cases through segmental restoration with modern materials. This approach is more technically achievable for the clinician and laboratory technician and certainly more feasible for the patient. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\nAppreciate the clinical steps for accurate occlusal records and development of essential diagnostic information. Understand how functional principles affect the size\, shape\, and position of our restorations.\n\n\n\nLearn current strategies for treatment staging and the importance of segmental restoration for clinical predictability and patient acceptance.

SUMMARY:Harmony of Esthetics and Occlusion: Smile Analysis\, Bleaching\, Caries and Occlusion
DESCRIPTION:Presentation #1Smile Analysis and Esthetic Re-contouring\n\n\n\nSynopsis of PresentationPrior to initiating any esthetic treatment\, it is important for the dentist to examine and diagnosis the overall esthetic condition of the patient. Performing a smile analysis includes an evaluation of how the teeth are positioned in the face and their relationship to the lips\, as well as a tooth-by-tooth analysis.  Conservative treatments include re-contouring of the teeth\, bonding or esthetic periodontal treatments. Informing the patient of all treatment that is needed to maximize their smile potential prior to initiating bleaching will result in a more satisfied patient with more realistic expectations. \n\n\n\nObjectives: The participant will learn…1. Principles of Smile Analysis to address all patient needs2. Esthetic re-contouring principles for natural teeth and restorations3. Periodontal and orthodontic considerations for maximum esthetics \n\n\n\nPresentation #2Tooth Bleaching: What we now know about difficult discolorations!\n\n\n\nSynopsis of Presentation How current is your knowledge of bleaching products\, appropriate concentrations\, and technique variations?  What is the proper examination for any bleaching procedure? Which technique is safest\, cost-effective and efficacious? Explore tray bleaching\, in-office bleaching\, and OTC bleaching based on published research and clinical experience\, especially for children and older adults. Treatment for discolorations such as brown and white spots\, single dark teeth\, as well as nicotine stains and tetracycline-stained teeth will be discussed. \n\n\n\nObjectives: The participant will…a. Discover bleaching examination componentsb. Understand hydrogen and carbamide peroxide differencesc. Identify differences between tray\, in-office and OTC products and techniquesd. Discuss treatment options for brown & white discolorations\, plus nicotine stainse. Review treatment of tetracycline-stained teeth and long-term safetyf. Learn indications for different bleaching techniques and research support for each \n\n\n\nPresentation: #3New Caries Diagnosis techniques and Sealant placement\n\n\n\nSynopsis of Presentation:The diagnosis of caries has changed from the “explorer stick” to a visual scale due to the effects of fluoride on the hardness of enamel. Changes can result in under-diagnosis of caries\, and resultant spread of caries before early intervention. A review of the ICDAS classifications and the proper placements techniques for sealants and preventive resins will be presented. \n\n\n\nObjectives: 1.Learn current ICDAS classification of caries and rationale for the change2.Review indications and techniques for sealants\, including use of H2O23.Explore preventive resins with flowable composites and cleaning burs \n\n\n\nPresentation #4Occlusal Disease\, Splint Fabrication and Occlusal Adjustment Technique\n\n\n\nSynopsis of Presentation:Occlusal disease is one of the three main challenges to maintaining a healthy dentition\, in addition to caries and periodontal disease. Recognizing the signs of occlusal trauma on the teeth and restorations allows the dentist to minimize the effects and avoid restoration failures. Treatment can consist of an occlusal adjustment of the teeth\, or a bruxism splint to protect both the teeth and restorative care. \n\n\n\nObjectives:1.Identify signs of occlusal disease on teeth and restorations\, and determine appropriate treatment possibilities from a splint to an occlusal adjustment2.Determine a predictable simple method for mounting casts to fabricate a maxillary occlusal bruxism splint that is easy to fit and adjust.3.Learn the sequential technique for an occlusal adjustment to create a mutually- protected dental occlusion following basic guidelines.
