· Utilizing risk assessment to determine susceptibility
· Incorporating the paradigm: periodontal medicine into the practice
· Considering genetics, diet, and stress as variables in controlling disease
· Treating periodontits as a major chronic inflammatory systemic disease

· Providing a “systems” approach to assessing prognosis for restorative abutments and when to extract with resulting implant therapy
· Enhancing esthetic results by manipulating gingivae.
· The role of laser therapy in periodontics including crown lengthening
· Creating true success by positive case acceptance and establishing long-term maintenance goals.
· Developing quality relationships with periodontists
By creating “hands-on” decision-making situations, participants will have the opportunity to engage in actual patient case history in formulating win-win techniques to the periodontal component of their practice.

The role of dental restorations used for provisional and indirect restorative procedures has changed dramatically in the past several years. These restorations are no longer regarded as temporary restorations but rather as provisional restorations with distinct functions and purposes. Provisional restorations have become a vital diagnostic and assessment tool to evaluate function color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics. An accurate fit and margination is essential to insure and maintain pulpal health. With increased demands being placed on provisional restorations, new materials and techniques are being developed and some existing protocols are being refined to accomplish desired goals. This hands-on course is designed to report on current materials, techniques, and concepts in fabricating and maintaining long-term esthetic provisionals.
Attendees Will Learn:
· How to choose the Right Provisional Materials for Shade-Matching

AGD CODE: 550 Intended Audience: All
Broken appointments (BA’s) and changed appointments (CA’s) are an expensive drain on the practice. Understanding “why” they occur is an essential first step in reducing and possibly, eliminating them. The second step is to learn how to prevent them and the third is to re-educate your existing patients to exhibit greater respect and responsibility toward their reserved time. Finally, to ensure your progress, it is important to track your practice results to see how well your new system is working. Overcoming this practice handicap results in less stress and increased satisfaction for the entire team.

Differential diagnosis of orofacial pain is an extremely challenging aspect of dental practice. The complexity of neural networks involving the craniocervical area establishes an environment for much diagnostic confusion. Additionally, a number of conditions exist which share common symptoms or may mimic odontogenic pain. Appropriate treatment and/or referral is dependent upon accurate identification of these diseases, syndromes, or clinical conditions. Discussion will include pain of non-odontogenic origin to include: disorders of salivary glands, neurologic sources of craniofacial pain, various headache subgroups, and craniofacial pain of musculoskeletal origin. Key management consideration will be discussed. Additionally, key dental considerations in sleep-related breathing disorders will be presented.

A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text. Clinical Digital Photography is probably the most important tool for communication in the dental office. Digital photography allows the dental team to educate the patient without having to hold a mirror and try to explain what is being changed or enhanced. Digital photography can be fun and exciting. Everything from patient education to laboratory communication can be expedited with the click of a button. Excellent photography will elevate patient’s records to an entirely new level. Want help with your own camera? Bring it.

· Selecting a camera that’s right for you
