Limited Attendance Courses The following Limited Attendance Courses are offered as an optional addition to the main scientific programme. These courses will be available to a limited number of participants due to the nature of the topic or the necessary teaching method. A.M.: 09.00-11.30
Identifying and Treating Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office
Life threatening medical emergencies in the dental office can occur anytime. Dr. Edwab discusses common office emergencies seen in the dental office. Learn how to evaluate a patient and determine who to treat and who to refer for a medical evaluation. Learn to recognize patients who have a tendency to cause medical emergencies and how to modify their treatment plan. The clinician teaches you how to make your own emergency kit, identify an emergency and perform the appropriate treatment and finally determine the maximum dose of local anesthetic for your patient and quickly calculate a safe dose.
Right Fact… Wrong Conclusions - Learn a new perspective on the published research and articles that you have to rely on for practice philosophy The JOE recently published a meta-analysis of endodontic literature concerning success or failure of endodontic treatment as related to apical extent of filling material. At best, the authors forgot the difference between anatomical and radiographic apex. At worst, this was a prime example of a quote by Benjamin Disraeli: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics”.
The Comprehensive New Patient Experience: From “Thank You for Calling” to “When Can We Start?” The new patient experience provides you with the perfect opportunity to cultivate a long-term relationship with your patients Participants will learn:
In this informative session, practitioners will learn to provide the new patient with an exceptional experience. Emphasis will be placed on each step of the new patient experience, including the utilization of dental auxiliaries, for best team effort in providing patients with a comprehensive examination.
Piezoelectrical Surgical Procedures How to handle difficult bone surgery procedures easier and safer, with less side effects :
Ultrasonic devices have long been known in dentistry, but only recently have they been available for bone surgery, thanks to applied research and development. This session will discuss the new procedures that the latest generation of electronics can support, ie. minimally-invasive bone surgery, the selective cutting effect of the ultrasonic micro-instruments whereby the soft tissue is preserved, extractions, bone grafting, bone collecting, sinus procedures ... all of which are safer with the new instrumentation, but demand specific education and training. The participants will have the opportunity to try these new devices on models and animal bone for all the above indications. These speakers' attendance have been made possible by Satelec – Acteon Group.
Implants as Anchorage in Orthodontics At the end of this course, the participant will:
Control of anchorage is one of the most important aspects of orthodontics. Many traditional treatment protocols have incorporated both extraoral (headgear) and intraoral (intermaxillary elastics) approaches to maintain anchorage. Unfortunately, patient’s compliance is often considered as the “Achilles heel” of controlled tooth movement. In an effort to maximize anchorage while reducing the dependence on patient’s cooperation, Dr. Kyung and his colleagues have developed a system of microimplants specifically for the orthodontic patient. Topics to be covered in the course include the selection of proper microimplant size and shape, sites of microimplant placement, avoidance of complications and many case reports.
New Technologies in Orthodontic Therapy
This course is designed for dentists that are currently doing orthodontic treatment in their practices, those who may already be treating patients with the Invisalign appliance or those seeking to expand the scope of difficulty of the orthodontic patients they currently treat in a more effective and efficient manner. Explanations of how the Invisalign software is used to treatment plan and the detailed use of the appliance for minor to moderate malocclusions will be given with emphasis on adult patients with multidisciplinary needs. Numerous fully documented Invisalign cases will be shown by Dr Boyd to explain the treatment principles presented.
