• Learn why some materials are not indicated for vital pulp capping

Pediatric dentists love treating children, so why is it that so many of our colleagues are fearful of adding more kids to their practice? Once you learn the tools necessary to treat kids in a safe and fun manner, adding them as an integral part of your practice is as easy as ABC!

In this first in a series of lectures, we will focus on the restorative aspects of pediatric dentistry. Just like in general practice, technology and development has also occurred in pediatric dentistry. In this presentation, we will cover the most common clinical procedures in pediatric dentistry with practical tips to help shorten your learning curve. Learning to become more efficient in your dental techniques can directly result in faster treatment for your younger population.

Future lectures will focus on behavior management and communication that will only make you better at treating children when combined with the new techniques that you will learn. Our ultimate goal is to lead you to successful visits for the patient and practitioner.

Learning Objectives:
-Discover the most common clinical procedures in pediatric dentistry
-Learn practical tips to add efficiency to your procedures
-Gain confidence in adding pediatric procedures into your practice

By plugging the holes in your new patient ‘bucket’ leaks, discover how a key team member and system can propel you to new production numbers while lowering your stress.

Learning Objectives
-Understand the practice and personal benefits of implementing a new patient specialist.
-Describe the system of a new patient specialist and the process of the comprehensive exam from the clinical and emotional standpoint.
-Discover how to move past common objections and into the world of comprehensive dentistry.

In this lecture, Dr. Higton will discuss how dentistry is fast moving on from mechanically retentive to adhesion based methods and, therefore, how operating techniques need to adapt. She places a particular emphasis on rubber dam, how to use it effectively and the associated benefits of doing so.

Learning Objectives
-Understand when and why rubber dam should be used and appreciate the multiple benefits of doing so
-Understand the importance of material & equipment (especially clamp) choice when using rubber dam
-Appreciate the nuances of hole size, hole spacing and different dam application techniques
-Learn the difference between stabilizing the dam and retracting the dam
