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.

In 2010\, via AB 2637\, California Registered Dental Assistants in Extended Functions (RDAEF) received additional restorative functions\, allowable under the direct supervision of a dentist. These functions include: \n\n\n\nConduct preliminary evaluation of the patient’s oral health\, including (but not limited to) charting\, intraoral and extra-oral evaluation of soft tissue\, classifying occlusion\, and myofunctional evaluation.Perform oral health assessments in school-based\, community health project settings under the direction of a dentist\, registered dental hygienist\, or registered dental hygienist in alternative practice. \n\n\n\n\nSize and fit endodontic master points and accessory points.\n\n\n\nCement endodontic master points and accessory points.\n\n\n\nTake final Impressions for tooth-borne removable prosthesis.\n\n\n\nPlace\, contour\, finish\, and adjust all direct restorations.\n\n\n\nPolish and contour existing amalgam restorations.\n\n\n\nAdjust and cement permanent indirect restorations.\n\n\n\nPerform cord retraction of gingiva for impression procedures.\n\n\n\nTake final impressions for permanent indirect restorations.\n\n\n\n\nOne viable alternative for increasing production and controlling office overhead while maintaining quality of care – is the utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice. There are currently only 1\,756 licensed RDAEFs in the entire state of California. There are 34\,619 licensed DDS in California. Each dentist can employ three (3) RDAEFs in practice. During the course\, you will hear from dentists who are utilizing RDAEFs in practice and they will share the impact the RDAEF has had on their practice. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the Loma Linda University RDAEF program and details of the extensive training that the students receive. You will have an opportunity to see the quality of work that these students have produced. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the course\, dentists will be informed on how to evaluate the direct restorations placed by the RDAEFs in their practice. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the California laws and regulations pertaining to the scope of duties and utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice\n\n\n\nGain an in-depth knowledge of the RDAEF curriculum\n\n\n\nLearn from other dentists how the RDAEF2 has improved their dental practices\n\n\n\nLearn how stress can be reduced and moral is raised by the utilization of the RDAEF2\n\n\n\nLearn how to incorporate the RDAEF2 into your practice\n\n\n\nSee images of the outstanding work performed by the RDAEF students\n\n\n\nBe calibrated to perform evaluations of restorations performed by the RDAEF2 in your practice URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/hybrid-course-management-and-utilization-of-the-rdaef/ LOCATION:Loma Linda University School of Dentistry\, 11092 Anderson Street\, Loma Linda\, California\, 92350\, United States CATEGORIES:Affiliate In-Person Event,Affiliate Virtual Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240204T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240204T163000 DTSTAMP:20260428T095949 CREATED:20240111T194511Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T203649Z UID:10000088-1707035400-1707064200@www.cda.org SUMMARY:HYBRID COURSE Treatment Considerations for the Edentulous Patient: Dentures\, Overdentures\, and Fixed Complete Dentures DESCRIPTION:This course will focus on the current and future applications of digital dentures\, overdentures\, and fixed complete dentures. With each of these treatment options\, there are specific diagnostic and treatment planning considerations that will be discussed. Additionally\, the benefits and limitations will be reviewed. The widespread use of technology across dentistry has changed how we practice. This course will review the current trends in using digital technology across dentures\, overdentures\, and fixed complete dentures. Some of these digital technologies include intraoral scanners\, 3D printing\, and photogrammetry. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\nReview clinical workflows for digital dentures\n\n\n\nDiscuss how to utilize intraoral scanners to streamline your digital denture workflow\n\n\n\nLearn clinical steps for success with overdentures\n\n\n\nLearn to treatment plan the fixed complete denture patient\n\n\n\nDiscuss how to do immediate denture conversions\n\n\n\nReview the clinical steps involved with fabricating the final restoration URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/hybrid-course-treatment-considerations-for-the-edentulous-patient-dentures-overdentures-and-fixed-complete-dentures/ LOCATION:Loma Linda University School of Dentistry\, 11092 Anderson Street\, Loma Linda\, California\, 92350\, United States CATEGORIES:Affiliate In-Person Event,Affiliate Virtual Event END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
