Given the importance of aligner therapy to the business interests of large dental companies and DIY ortho companies popping up with huge financial backing, general dentists need to get the message that ortho is where every patient exam should begin. In this webinar, Dr. Grossman will be discussing the basic steps to integrating ortho in your exam routine and helping your practice expand its reliance on aligner therapy.

It will be a step by step process of how we perform the ultimate orthodontic consultation and why it’s important to protect general dentists from the commoditization of our profession by big companies selling direct to consumer.

Root resorption can be a real enigma when diagnosing and treatment planning. Depending on the location and
severity of the resorption, it can dramatically affect the prognosis of the case. There are several different types
of root resorption, but probably the most complicated resorption to manage is the invasive cervical root
resorption. These cases need to be properly assessed. The lines of communication between the different dental
specialties need to be maintained, since the management often necessitates an inter-disciplinary approach. This
course is designed to take the mystery out of diagnosing and treatment planning teeth with root resorption.

Following Dr. Campbell’s Part 1 and Part 2 webinars on Dental Insurance and PPOs, we received an outstanding amount of questions. In this session, Dr. Travis Campbell will answer all of your questions that you may have about dental insurance.

This discussion is intended to provoke new thoughtfulness and intention in the most common procedure.  Elements of surgical principles and wound healing are explored that will challenge anyone, regardless of experience or specialty, to think deeper about what and how you do what you do.  Science and art are woven together with practical applications that will be entertainment for the brain.

Objectives:

• ReThink

  • principles of wound healing

  • soft tissue handling

  • hard tissue handling

  • instrumentation

Clinicians are increasingly confronted with Tooth Wear and complex dental issues that require an interdisciplinary mindset.  How can we use new diagnostic tools and digital planning software to view our patients differently.  What does a digital risk assessment involve? How does the digital new patient experience differ from an analogue one? Dr. Shepperson will share some new strategies for using technology to plan cases, boost productivity and get great patient engagement.

Learn how to:

• Use IOS to visualize wear and functional issues.
• Design and analyze digitally – seeing more and delivering inter-disciplinary solutions.
• Communicate virtual possibilities with patients who can see the end point before you start.

Cosmetic dentistry is no longer a novelty as it was in the 1980’s……it is serious business. Patient expectations are growing so that you must learn to master the art and science not only in the front but the back of the mouth. Fortunately, advancements in technology and materials have allowed dentists and their teams to be on the same page with the patient, lab, and specialist that help you create extra-ordinary results that are predictable and profitable for the practice and often affordable for patients.

Objectives:
1. Learn critical factors in smile design that help you create beauty and “keep it real”
2. See how veneer cases can be easy to do by always doing 4 critical steps

With the advances with predictability of CAD/CAM planning and success of immediate loading of full arch prosthetics, the quality of life for the patients with terminal-dentition or edentulous patient is better served with an immediately loaded fixed, cross-arch stabilized prosthesis versus a 2-stage procedure with a delayed loading protocol. This can lead to decreased treatment times and comorbidities. We will review indications & workflows comparing and contrasting classical vs contemporary surgical and restorative workflows to provisionalize and restore the full arch All-On-X patient .

Objectives:
• You will understand the various treatment planning considerations and contraindications to qualify a patient for full arch treatment.
• Understand various prosthodontic requirements and its influence on surgical considerations
• Visualize various conversion techniques with chrome guided protocol vs conventional in office workflow vs hybrid new technologies
• Appreciate the advantages of a fully guided workflow and potential benefits on practice efficiency, revenue health, and case acceptance.
• Appreciate the biomechanical considerations influencing surgical and prosthetic success; including but not limited to implant macro/micro geometry, alveolar bone characteristics and anchorage techniques and designing the case with optimal placement and design .
• Gain an appreciation for comparison of contemporary vs classical approaches to restoring full arch restorations

The wave of DIY dentistry is starting to swell. We see the effects in our practices and hear about it through marketing campaigns, but how does dentistry respond? Being knee-to-knee with our patients, we can combat the rise of do-it-yourself dental treatments. Dentistry’s movement forward will address the desires of our patients for straighter smiles that are both functional and beautiful. We will commit to educating our patients about the importance of controlled, professional orthodontic treatment and its vital role in the stability of functional smiles that can last a lifetime.
