Lecture Course/ParticipationLasers in Periodontics and

Restorative DentistryROBERT CONVISSAR, D.D.S.

OVERVIEWDentists have a variety of wavelengths to choose fromwhen deciding which laser is most appropriate for his orher practice. Some wavelengths are perfectly suited forperiodontal therapy, while other wavelengths may bemore appropriate for a prosthetics-driven practice. Theuse of lasers for specific procedures found in everydayfixed, removable and implant prosthetic cases will behighlighted. Since the basis of a successful prostheticreconstruction is a healthy periodontal foundation, theuse of lasers for non-surgical, surgical, and regenerativeperiodontics will also be discussed.

OBJECTIVES• Soft and hard tissue crown lengthening• Cordless gingival troughing• Cosmetic recontouring of gingival prior to laminate placement

• Treatment of altered passive eruption cases priorto eruption

• Peri-implant soft tissue modification and treat-ment of peri-implantitis

• Torus and tuberosity reduction (both hard andsoft tissue)

• Removal of epulis without scar/contraction of thevestibule

• Treatment of chronic denture stomatitis• Residual ridge surgery/vestibuloplasty• Ovate pontic site formation• Long term management of the perio-prostheticpatient

• Hard tissue lasers – are we ready to replace the • Frenectomy• Gingivectomy• Periodontal regeneration surgery/non membranelaser guided tissue regeneration

The participant will perform many of the above proce-dures during the wet lab on animal jaws. Upon comple-tion of this course, participants will be familiar with theuse of lasers for specific procedures found in a peri-odontal and prosthetics-driven practice. They will beable to incorporate this knowledge into a basis for deter-mining which laser wavelength is most appropriate fortheir practice, and be able to incorporate hard and softtissue laser dentistry into their practices first thing to-morrow morning.

Seven Ways to Avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

(This is not just another Scaling and Root Planing course)

OVERVIEWWhy would dental professionals subject themselves to thepossibility of carpal tunnel syndrome? Today’s dental profes-sionals are at high risk for many neuromusculoskeletal prob-lems. Traditionally, the highest percentage of entrapmentneuropathies affecting the Dentist and their staff occur in theneck and back.

To help the individual cope with such issues, this course willaddress the universal needs of the office using new insightsfrom orthopedics and ergonomics research. This new information will incorporate an instrumentation technique thatcan improve working conditions for those who perform scalingand root planing procedures. Course attendees will have theopportunity to learn the new components of the technique, especially the basic power strokes in instrumentation. At theend of the didactic session, each participant will complete a personal questionnaire, which becomes the key to under-standing the application of the solutions to the 7 basic prob-lems. The lecture will be followed by a hands-on sessioninvolving the biocentic simulator.

OBJECTIVESParticipants will be able to recognize the following universalpitfalls:• The danger of the high wing • Recognizing improper body alignment• How pronation and extension of the hand can contribute to tennis elbow

• How sustaining the same body positions and workmotions over an extended period of time can contribute to pain

• How universal gloves contribute to fatigue and pain ofthe thumb

• How fatigue is caused by flexion and extension of thewrist as it is seen in some work motions

Then participants will learn how the use of several options inthe components of the instrumentation technique can lead tosolutions for the neuromusculoskeletal problems includingcarpal tunnel syndrome

Participation CourseDifferential TMD Diagnosesand Treatments for the General Practitioner

EDWARD F. WRIGHT, D.D.S, M.S.OVERVIEWThis participation course consists of a morning presentationand an afternoon of clinical activities. The morning presentation will first discuss initial patient evaluation and arecommended treatment protocol for integrating and utilizingmultidisciplinary TMD therapies. This sequence will then beapplied to 18 documented cases in which the patient's symptoms and clinical evaluation results are presented, andpotential diagnoses and treatments will be discussed. Sev-eral of these cases are of patients who present with symp-toms similar to TMD, but other diagnoses are determined, i.e., acute pulpalgia, sinusitis, etc. Participantswill be taught to identify these disorders from TMD throughhistory and clinical evaluation.

The afternoon clinical activities will involve working with a fellow participant, in which the masticatory and cervical musculature will be palpated, various jaw positions will be re-viewed, and various splints brought to the course will be ad-justed. The course parallels Dr. Wright's recently published TMD textbook which will be available for purchaseat the course for a reduced price.

OBJECTIVESThe course is designed to help dentists more cost effectivelyobtain maximal therapeutic benefit with their TMD patients.Participants will:

• Understand which allied health professionals are ableto help their TMD patients and when they would bemost beneficial.

• Learn to identify patients who generally will not re-spond well to traditional TMD therapy and how thatcan be changed.

• Gain new insight of the prevalence of referred painand the pain interconnection between the teeth, masticatory system, and cervical area.

• Palpate the masticatory and cervical musculature of a fellow participant.

• Practice mandibular manipulation techniques.• Adjust a splint that a fellow participant brings to

the course.

OCTOBER 25Longhorn Football Dental Study ClubManagement of Medical Emergencies in the

Dental OfficeERNEST E. VALDEZ, D.D.S.

OVERVIEWAccording to a published study, a dentist and staff, on av-erage, will manage a medical emergency once every 1.4years*. The same study reports that cardiac arrest in adental office may occur once every 130 years*. It appearsthat medical emergencies occur infrequently in the dentaloffice. It is for this very reason that it is easy for dentistsand staff to forget simple medical emergency preventionand management techniques and systems. In a productivedental practice, medical emergency equipment may be-come dusty, emergency medications may expire, portableoxygen tanks become empty, emergency managementsystems are forgotten. Do you have enough equipment ortoo much equipment to manage medical emergencies inyour dental office? What is the anticipated arrival time ofEMS to your office? Do you AND your staff know how tomanage the most common medical emergencies that canoccur in your dental office?

OBJECTIVESUpon completion of this course, participants will be able to:• Evaluate their medical emergency equipment, aswell as, the office for efficiency of management ofmedical emergencies by bringing a schematic ofthe floor plan of their dental office, a list and photos of their medical equipment of their office.

• Determine the response time of the emergencymedical services to a medical emergency in theirdental office.

• Design a “Medical Emergency Management Plan”for the dental office.

• Learn to recognize and manage the ten most common medical emergencies, as well as, acutemyocardial infarction and cardiac arrest in the dental office.

• Learn medical emergency preventive measures.

NOVEMBER 1Lecture Course

Allied Dental Personnel are invited to attendA Tooth’s Lifeline: Revisiting

the Dental PulpDAVID J. CLEMENT, D.D.S.

OVERVIEWAll clinical procedures involving the manipulation ofdentin (all restorative procedures) have some affect onthe dental pulp. This course is designed for practitionersand staff to; 1) understand the effect accumulative pro-cedures have on the pulp, 2) consider the pulp-dentincomplex in preventive endodontics 3) aid the diagnosisof pathologic and normal pulpal conditions and 4) un-derstand the difficulties of providing root canal therapywhen the pulp is acutely and painfully inflamed.

Understanding the progressive nature of pulpal (and pe-riapical) pathology is critical to recognizing the signs,symptoms, and etiology of pulpal disease. The clues topotential and urgent endodontic problems are oftenfound by listening to patients. There are essential questions to ask that are designed to screen for and un-derstand a patient’s potential endodontic problem. Pulptesting procedures are non-invasive and can be routinelyperformed by trained auxiliary personal. Once learned,these diagnostic skills are applicable to emergency en-dodontic diagnosis and therapy. Importantly these skillscan also improve efficiency and productively in restora-tive treatment planning. The diagnosis and prognosis ofcoronal fractures, including the ‘Cracked Tooth Syn-drome’, will also be discussed. In turn, you will havegreater confidence recommending (and increase patientacceptance of) root canal therapy; especially in situa-tions where x-rays are diagnostically inconclusive.

Topics to be Discussed:• Anatomy and Physiology of the Dental Pulp• The ‘Pulp Dentin Complex’ • Physiologic vs. Pathologic dental pain• Effect of restorative procedures on the dental pulp

• Vital Pulp Therapies• Importance of the ‘Chief Complaint’ in diagnosis• Diagnosis of Irreversible Acute and Chronic Pulpalgias

• How to perform routine pulp testing?• Vitality testing vs. ‘Diagnostic Thermal Stimulation’

• What pulp testing results really mean?• Diagnosis and Treatment of Coronal Fractures;‘Cracked Tooth Syndrome’

• Challenges of performing RCT on teeth with Vital Pulps

OBJECTIVESParticipants will learn the principles and skills necessaryfor the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pathologicconditions of the vital dental pulp.

PRESENTERDAVID J. CLEMENT, D.D.S., received hisdental degree from the University of Min-nesota in 1981. He was a general dentist fornine years, an endodontic post graduate edu-cator for three years, and had a specialty endodontic practice.

Oral Cancer: From Diagnosis to Management

MICHAELL A. HUBER, D.D.S.

OVERVIEWSuccessful management of the oral cancer patient re-quires a multidiscipline effort, in which the dental pro-fessional plays a critical role. An estimated 29,000 newcases of oral and pharyngeal will be diagnosed this year,many as a consequence of an oral screening provided bya dentist. Research over the past decade has produced several advances improving the profession’sability to diagnose, treat, and manage the short and long-term consequences of oral cancer. Ultimately, however, successful cancer therapy often incurs life-longimpairments, which may adversely affect the patient’squality of life. As many of the impairments directly affectthe oral cavity, the dentist will be frequently called uponto manage many of these impairments such as mucositis, xerostomia, increased caries,and disfigure-ment. This course will provide a review of the most contemporary approaches to manage the oral cancer pa-tient, from diagnosis to management.

OBJECTIVES• The participants will learn about:• Epidemiologic overview• Cancer prevention • Diagnostic/Screening modalities• Contemporary treatment strategies• During-treatment care• After-treatment care

Lecture/ParticiaptionCourseFull-Arch Rehabilitation withthe All-on-4™ Technique

KEN PARRISH, D.M.D., M.S., PH.D.OVERVIEWMany patients are living longer and do not find a com-plete removable denture acceptable. The demand fordental implants is rising exponentially and is now con-sidered the standard of care. The practices that incorpo-rate less expensive, immediate loading techniques willhave the ability to offer the patient a great service. Com-plete rehabilitation of the upper and lower jaw can becostly and time consuming. A new technique that hasbeen common in Europe for many years has crossed theAtlantic and is becoming very popular in the UnitedStates. This system is called the All-on-4™because it uti-lizes only four implants per arch for an immediate com-plete full fixed-detachable screw retained prosthesis. Theprosthesis is similar to the Brånemark hybrid denture thatwas developed years ago. The system can be used inthe maxilla, allowing you to avoid sinus grafting or in themandible, to avoid having to place implants posterior tothe symphysis. The prosthesis can be completed thesame day as surgery or the next day to accommodatethe lab processing time.

OBJECTIVESThe participant will learn about:• Scientific Basis for the All-on-4™• Diagnosis and Pre-surgical Planning• Restorative Steps• Restorative Options• Diagnosis and Anatomic Requirements• Surgical Armamentarium and Implant Selection

PRESENTERKEN PARRISH, D.M.D., M.S., PH.D.,graduated from the University of LouisvilleSchool of Dentistry in 1989. He received hisspecialty training at the University of Iowa in periodontics and also received hisPh.D. in microbiology. Dr. Parrish is certifiedby the American Board of Periodontology.

James P. Hollers Memorial Lectureship on November 14, 2008, for $35.00 each.


As we honor Dr. James P. Hollers at the25th Annual Lectureship, we commemoratehis memory as a Texan with vision, numer-ous civic and military achievements, and asa dentist of national stature, having held thepost of President of the American DentalAssociation. In celebrating his memory, wehave invited another prominent lecturer,Dr. Vincent G. Kokich to San Antonio topresent pertinent clinical and relevant information at the 25th Annual Hollers Lectureship.

One of the turning point events in the long history of SanAntonio took place on June 5, 1969 in front of the Alamo under theblazing South Texas sun. Preston Smith, Governor of Texas, signedthe legislative bill that authorized the construction of the DentalSchool in San Antonio as well as the Nursing School and The Uni-versity of Texas at San Antonio. Proudly looking on, just over Gover-nor Smith's shoulder, was Dr. Jim Hollers, who on that day saw histwenty year campaign to bring not only a Dental School, but also anentire Medical Center Complex to San Antonio, transformed fromdream to reality.

Without a doubt, the history of Medical Education in SouthTexas and what we now know as the South Texas Medical Center is in-tertwined with the history of Dr. Jim Hollers. If it's true that everygreat enterprise requires the right person, in the right place, at theright time…then Dr. Jim Hollers was the right person, in the rightplace, at the right time for San Antonio.

All the hard work paid off.When the 1969 Texas Legisla-ture met in January, there waslittle doubt that San Antoniowould emerge with a DentalSchool. And the third piece ofDr. Hollers' dream fell intoplace just a few months later inthe Alamo Plaza as he stood behind Preston Smith,

watching the Governor sign the authorization. Planning for the Dental School moved ahead quickly, as-

sisted in no small measure by the availability of millions of dollars of construction funds from the Department of Health Education and Welfare who agreed to pay two-thirds of the costs of the new

building. The original planwas to enroll the first Den-tal School class after thebuilding was completed butthe Acting Dean of theSchool, Dr. Victor Olson,who was also Dean of TheUniversity of Texas HealthScience Center at Houston,Dental Branch, obtainedenough additional fundingfrom the Legislature toopen the School in the fallof 1970 in a temporary facility.

Dr. Billy Rigsby came to San Antonio from Houston withDr. Victor Olson and was in on the ground floor of planning in 1970.Drs. Olson, Rigsby, and many other faculty members who signed onin the first year worked round the clock to blue print the facility andensure it was state-of-the-art.

Dr. Kenneth D. Rudd Continuing EducationParticipant Award…Dr. Kenneth D. Rudd is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Prosthodontics, and the former AssociateDean for Continuing Dental Education atThe University of Texas Health ScienceCenter at San Antonio, Dental School. He is an internationally renowned prostho-dontist and is recognized for his leadershipin numerous dental organizations. Dr.

OVERVIEW Orthodontists, periodontists, surgeons, and restorative dentists often have pre-determinedgoals regarding the esthetic relationship of teeth. But these goals may differ from the estheticgoals of the patient. A recent study, completed at the University of Washington, shows thatlay persons may not notice certain problems that dentists and orthodontists strongly believeshould be resolved.

Therefore, problems such as midline discrepancy, unequal crown length, incisal plane asym-metry, “gummy” smile, altered incisal inclination, “black” triangles, and crown width dis-crepancies may not need correction. Is there a threshold level, where these discrepancies arenoticed by both lay persons and dentists? Are there discrepancies that are not noticed by ei-ther dentists or nondentists and should remain untreated? If these problems are to be treated,what are the roles of the orthodontist, periodontist, and restorative dentist? How, where, and when should tooth position be altered to accommodate for future restorative dentistry?

This presentation will use many clinical examples to: (1) identify the six major problems inanterior tooth position that produce esthetic discrepancies; (2) provide threshold levels thatdetermine which problems should or should not be treated; (3) illustrate the method oftreating each of these esthetic dilemmas (orthodontic, periodontal, surgical, or restorative);and (4) describe the interaction that is necessary among clinicians to establish the ideal resultfor even the most difficult esthetic discrepancies.

OBJECTIVESAfter attending this course, participants will learn how to treat:MIDLINE DISCREPANCIES

•threshold level for correction of midline deviation•keys to solving midline problems•relationship of axial inclination and midline discrepancies•method for assessing midline deviation•restoration of mediolateral inclination problems

INCISAL PLANE ASYMMETRIES•threshold level for correction of incisal plane asymmetries•3 possible solutions (orthodontics, jaw surgery, restoration)•4 criteria to differentiate the appropriate solution

CROWN WIDTH DISCREPANCIES•threshold level for correction of crown width problems•learn where to position peg-shaped laterals for ideal restoration

UNEQUAL CROWN LENGTH•threshold level for correction of crown length problems•3 possible solutions - gingivectomy, orthodontic intrusion and restoration, or orthodontic extrusion and equilibration•learn the 4 criteria to determine the correct treatment choice

“GUMMY SMILE”•method for evaluating gingiva to lip relationship•threshold level for correction of gingiva to lip relationship problems •3 treatment options (jaw surgery, periodontal surgery, intrusion)•5 criteria to determine when each solution is appropriate

“BLACK SPACES”•threshold level for correction of open gingival embrasures•3 causes - tooth shape, tooth position, periodontal defects•learn how “black spaces” can be corrected

PRESENTERVincent G. Kokich, D.D.S., M.S.D., obtained his dental degree from the Uni-versity of Washington’s School of Dentistry in 1971, followed by his MS andCertificate in Orthodontics in 1974. He is a Professor in the Department of Or-thodontics at the University of Washington in Seattle. He also maintains a pri-vate orthodontic practice in Tacoma, Washington.

Esthetic and Functional Considerations in Implant Dentistry

ALFONSO MONARRES, D.D.S., M.S.OVERVIEWThe high success of dental implants has influenced ourcontemporary treatment plan philosophy regarding therestoration of the severely compromised dentition andthe replacement of missing teeth.

The demands of our population, the advances in implantsurfaces and designs and the recent introduction of 3DImaging and CAD/CAM technology have helped to im-prove our current surgical and restorative protocols byproviding high predictability, shortening treatment timeand facilitating the fabrication of implant prostheses.

Predictable function with esthetic results are key ele-ments for success with dental implant therapy. Thiscourse will present the basic concepts and guidelinesthat help make the placement and restoration of implantsa predictable treatment option that offers both estheticsand function to our patients.

OBJECTIVES• Understand the importance of diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment sequencing in implant dentistry.

• Use of contemporary diagnostic tools and 3D Imaging.

• Implant prostheses for the partially edentulous patient.

• Basic concepts for the ideal implant placementand restoration in the esthetic zone.

• Guidelines and techniques for immediate placement, immediate provisionalization and immediate loading of dental implants.

• Implant prostheses for the edentulous patient• CAD/CAM technology for dental implant restorations.

• Occlusal considerations in implant Prosthodontics

Why Should General DentistLearn to Surgically Place andRestore Dental Implants?

CHARLES “DUKE” ALDRIDGE, D.D.S.,MAGD, MICOI

OVERVIEWThis course is designed to help those clinicians who are in-terested in learning how to place dental implants get startedand develop a passion that will help rejuvenate their love fordentistry.

OBJECTIVESThis course will enable the dentist to understand:

· Rationale behind General Dentist learning to surgicallyplace and restore implant(s).

· The number of patients in a typical General Dentist practice who are forgoing implant treatment because of interaction with multiple clinicians.

· The reality of being present at the surgery if you are notperforming it yourself.

· Local Anesthesia techniques for dental implant surgery.· Defining type of bone density and success rates in same.· Typical treatment planning and review of criteria sheet to

help guide you.· Bone grafting – What, when, where and how· The use of membrane, tacks, screws, etc.· Surgical anatomy – What you really need to know – The

real DANGER zones· How to identify those patients in your practice that may be

interested in dental implants.· How to introduce dental implants to your patients and

make them realize the benefits over conventional fixedprosthesis. Discuss longevity of both.

· Implant packets that you will be provided with that haveproven to be very successful in introducing dental im-plants (consent forms, options, diagnosis forms, etc.)

· Discussion of the importance of a dental implant coordinator.

· Discussion of the financial benefits of the surgical aspectof dental implants versus referring to specialist. “You willbe shocked.”

· Identifying the CDT implant codes for billing purposes.· Discussion of the typical “scare” tactics employed by very

few specialist for those dentists who want to get started inimplementing dental implant surgery.

· Where to start in your implant training· How to obtain “live” surgical training with you performing

the surgery.· Review of cases as performed by Dr. Aldridge – The

good, the bad and the ugly.· How to identify which cases you should start with.· How to get yourself out of difficult situations when you are

performing surgery and/or restoring dental implants.· Identifying the “high risk” medical patient.· The importance of surgical guide stents.· Immediate loading – Is it possible and where and when.· Performing immediate implant insertion after extraction· Extraction technique· Site preservation for future implant placement· The importance of learning how to perform Connective

Tissue grafts.· Cone Beam Technology and its future impact, if not now.

When should I use it? Radiation exposure of MedicalGrade CT scans performed in hospitals.

Participation CourseDifferential TMD Diagnosesand Treatments for the General Practitioner

EDWARD F. WRIGHT, D.D.S, M.S.OVERVIEWThis participation course consists of a morning presentationand an afternoon of clinical activities. The morning presentation will first discuss initial patient evaluation and arecommended treatment protocol for integrating and utilizingmultidisciplinary TMD therapies. This sequence will then beapplied to 18 documented cases in which the patient's symptoms and clinical evaluation results are presented, andpotential diagnoses and treatments will be discussed. Sev-eral of these cases are of patients who present with symp-toms similar to TMD, but other diagnoses are determined, i.e., acute pulpalgia, sinusitis, etc. Participantswill be taught to identify these disorders from TMD throughhistory and clinical evaluation.

The afternoon clinical activities will involve working with a fellow participant, in which the masticatory and cervical musculature will be palpated, various jaw positions will be re-viewed, and various splints brought to the course will be ad-justed. The course parallels Dr. Wright's recently published TMD textbook which will be available for purchaseat the course for a reduced price.

OBJECTIVESThe course is designed to help dentists more cost effectivelyobtain maximal therapeutic benefit with their TMD patients.Participants will:

• Understand which allied health professionals are ableto help their TMD patients and when they would bemost beneficial.

• Learn to identify patients who generally will not re-spond well to traditional TMD therapy and how thatcan be changed.

• Gain new insight of the prevalence of referred painand the pain interconnection between the teeth, masticatory system, and cervical area.

• Palpate the masticatory and cervical musculature of a fellow participant.

• Practice mandibular manipulation techniques.• Adjust a splint that a fellow participant brings to

the course.

Participation Course for Dental Hygienists Dentists are InvitedSeven Ways to Avoid Carpal

Tunnel Syndrome(This is not just another

Scaling and Root Planing course)

OVERVIEWWhy would dental professionals subject themselves to thepossibility of carpal tunnel syndrome? Today’s dental profes-sionals are at high risk for many neuromusculoskeletal prob-lems. Traditionally, the highest percentage of entrapmentneuropathies affecting the Dentist and their staff occur in theneck and back.

To help the individual cope with such issues, this course willaddress the universal needs of the office using new insightsfrom orthopedics and ergonomics research. This new information will incorporate an instrumentation technique thatcan improve working conditions for those who perform scalingand root planing procedures. Course attendees will have theopportunity to learn the new components of the technique, especially the basic power strokes in instrumentation. At theend of the didactic session, each participant will complete a personal questionnaire, which becomes the key to under-standing the application of the solutions to the 7 basic prob-lems. The lecture will be followed by a hands-on sessioninvolving the biocentic simulator.

OBJECTIVESParticipants will be able to recognize the following universalpitfalls:• The danger of the high wing • Recognizing improper body alignment• How pronation and extension of the hand can contribute to tennis elbow

• How sustaining the same body positions and workmotions over an extended period of time can contribute to pain

• How universal gloves contribute to fatigue and pain ofthe thumb

• How fatigue is caused by flexion and extension of thewrist as it is seen in some work motions

Then participants will learn how the use of several options inthe components of the instrumentation technique can lead tosolutions for the neuromusculoskeletal problems includingcarpal tunnel syndrome

Periodontal Disease Linked toSystemic Diseases

DONALD P. CALLAN, BS, BA, D.D.SOVERVIEWEvidence suggests periodontitis can be a systemic ex-posure that may contribute to the development or pro-gression of other systemic diseases and conditions.Similarities of microbial populations have been shown toexist between dental implants and natural teeth. Peri-odontal disease, peri-implantitis, and crestal bone lossassociated with teeth and dental implants are a signifi-cant clinical phenomenon. These conditions will oftencompromise long-term prognosis, esthetics, function ofteeth, oral and systemic health of patients. The purposeof this presentation is to provide evidence based infor-mation to evaluate the relationship of periodontal dis-eases, peri-implantitis and systemic diseases. Second, isto compare surgically, clinically, and radiographically ver-tical and horizontal bone loss patterns of natural teethand dental implants and determine if a predictable pat-tern exists and then determine the best treatment.

OBJECTIVES• To identify systemic links of periodontal disease.• To understand the pathways of periodontal bacterial transfer.

• To identify systemic conditions that may be subject to periodontal pathogens.

• To identify the early signs of implant failure.• To understand why bone loss is occurring aboutthe dental implant.

• To select the proper treatment to correct the bone loss problem.

• To determine the time and sequence for treatment.

• To defend the procedure clinically, functionally,and histologically.

PRESENTERDONALD P. CALLAN, D.D.S., received hisdental degree in 1975 and a Certificate in Periodontics from the University of Missouri at Kansas City in 1978. Dr. Calllan maintains a private practice limitedto Periodontics with an emphasis on tissue regeneration and implant dentistry

Lecture CourseDiagnosis of Early Dental Caries

BENNETT AMAECHI, B.D.S.OVERVIEWThe importance of finding and treating decay in its earli-est stages is universally acknowledged. Early caries de-tection is the key to the practice of minimally invasivedentistry, a treatment concept that is growing in popular-ity, and gives dentist the opportunity to treat caries atrau-matically, without anesthesia, with minimal reduction,and without rotary instrumentation; a much better optionfor any patient. Furthermore, caries being a dynamicprocess, an efficient method or device is needed toquantitatively or visually monitor and record the changingactivities and severity of a caries lesion over time, espe-cially during treatment. This continuing education coursewill offer an overview of the up-to-date information on themethods of (1) early detection of caries both visually andusing modern technologies, and (2) quantitative and vi-sual monitoring and recording of early caries activities.The need for early detection of dental caries as well asthe clinical prerequisites and criteria for caries detectionand diagnosis will be discussed.

OBJECTIVESThe objective of this forum is to acquaint the participantswith the knowledge, through a review, on; • The need for early diagnosis of dental caries • The importance of new technologies to aid earlydiagnosis of caries

• The clinical prerequisites and criteria for earlycaries diagnosis

• The technique of diagnosing early caries on different tooth surfaces

• The criteria for monitoring caries activities• The new ICDAS method of recording the severityof caries lesion

• The new technologies available for early cariesdetection, including their functions, principles ofoperation and limitations/drawbacks.

Sedation Emergency in MyDental Office How Will My Staff Respond?

ERNEST E. VALDEZ, D.D.S.OVERVIEWAccording to a published study, a dentist and staff, on av-erage, will manage a medical emergency once every 1.4years*. The same study reports that cardiac arrest in adental office may occur once every 130 years*. It ap-pears that medical emergencies occur infrequently in thedental office.

Ski&Learn course informationManagement of Dental TraumaLINA CARDENAS, D.D.S., M.S., PH.D.

OVERVIEWDo you like skiing? For all of us here at this wonderful ski resort, the good news is that we all will get great CE educa-tion with some fun entertainment and skiing. The badnews is that dental trauma does happen. The emergencymanagement of dental trauma is crucial for the progno-sis of the involved teeth. And since dental trauma doesnot give us the opportunity to re-schedule the patientuntil we go back to our books and the available litera-ture, we all need to be prepared to handle these emer-gencies. Dental trauma is an important part of theGeneral and Pediatric Dentistry practice. Current re-search has led to a better understanding of the healingmechanisms that translate into better clinical protocolsfor the management of trauma. The International Asso-ciation of Dental Traumatology (IADT) has reviewed itsguidelines in the last year. The Academy of PediatricDentistry has also published newer guidelines for themanagement of dental trauma at the beginning of 2008.There are also newer guidelines from the American As-sociation of Endodontics (AAE). A review of the currentguidelines (as mentioned above) for the management ofdental trauma in the primary and mainly in the perma-nent dentition will be presented. Easy-to-use decisionanalysis and protocols for the emergency treatment aswell as follow-up and referral needs are discussed.

OBJECTIVES• Present a systematic way of gathering trauma history

• Review the classification of traumatic dental injuries

• Discuss the diagnosis, emergency treatment and follow-up in primary and permanent toothtrauma according to type of injury

• Present and discuss clinical cases of primary and permanent tooth trauma

• Present uses of newer materials such and MTAfor complicated crown fractures.

• Show some new tendencies and research trend in this area.
