Large Composite Restorations: Making This Annoying Procedure Less Painful, More Predictable, Efficient
For over 30 years, the consistent answer to large composite restorations has been incremental fill with a packable composite material. Sadly, this option is time consuming, inefficient, and is regularly open to the possibility of voids, shrinkage, and marginal gaps. Bulk-fill flowable materials were supposed to provide an answer to this issue, but they have sadly performed poorly in terms of shrinkage and marginal gaps. If only there were a perfectly appropriate product for this incredibly common need. In this highly relatable and entertaining 30-minute lecture.
Learn:
a better understanding of polymerization shrinkage, and how its relationship to post-op sensitivity
the most common and useful options when faced with a large restoration
highly practical everyday gems that make dentistry in the op less painful, more predictable, and more fun

Management of odontogenic pain may be accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates intraoperative local anesthesia. However, improper and inappropriate use of local anesthetic agents has the potential to produce life-threatening, systemic adverse reactions. This program will provide participants with an overview of local anesthetic agents commonly used in dental practice. Special emphasis will be placed on developing strategies and techniques essential for individualizing patient care and assessing the need for treatment plan alterations.
Learn to:
• explain the basic pharmacology of the two major classes of local anesthetic agents with respect to their mechanisms of action, adverse reactions, drug interactions and contraindications • discuss the rationale for the use of vasoconstrictors in local anesthetic solutions and their potential effects in common organ system disease states • specify the various local anesthetic agent combinations most commonly used in dentistry and the rationale for their use in specific clinical situations
It can be highly discouraging when patients continue to have cavities despite improvements in their oral health. This can disrupt their oral health philosophy and create the belief that “cavities are normal for me” or even “I just have soft teeth.” Dentists and dental hygienists have the unique opportunity to identify each patient’s specific risks and provide treatment recommendations accordingly. The best way to do this is through salivary pH testing, specifically because the pH of our patient’s saliva plays a vital role in their oral cavity’s hard and soft tissue health status.
Learn to:
• review how the pH of the mouth influences soft and hard tissue oral diseases • discover powerful communication skills to increase the patient’s ownership of their current oral health • evaluate pH testing for your office and how to implement it into a patient’s preventive visits, and compare salivary tests to test periodontal pathogens • compare chairside and homecare technologies to reduce the patients risk of hard and soft tissue disease

Orofacial clefts are the most common congenital malformations of the head and neck. They serve as sentinel for other birth defects and understanding the causes can be translated to other birth defects. The African Craniofacial Anomalies Network (AfriCRAN) was established in 2012 to include Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa. Data and samples from these countries were used for basic translational research. This presentation will highlight the practical steps we took to establish this network, the basic research studies (genetics and genomics) that we conducted and how we moved from the bench into the community to conduct translational research (mental health and photovoice).

This presentation will highlight the most sure-fire ways to increase treatment acceptance of restorative treatment in any dental practice. Many practices fail to create clarity regarding their diagnostic criteria. This creates variance in how each clinician in the practice views restorative opportunities and it results in under diagnosis. In order to present treatment, it must first be diagnosed. The creation of uniform criteria exposes many more opportunities to recommend treatment. When combined with improved treatment presentation skills and patient-centric, benefit-oriented verbal skills, treatment acceptance markedly increases.
Learn to:
understand the most effective methods to grow your practice
understand the importance of uniform diagnostic criteria
introduce a system for communicating the benefits of treatment and incorporate benefit oriented, patient centric verbiage
overcome patient objections to treatment

THE SEARCH FOR NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA:THE ROMANOV INVESTIGATION This lecture explores the tragic fate of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, his family, and their retainers. Following their arrest in 1917, they were ultimately executed in Ekaterinburg in 1918. This brutal event remained shrouded in secrecy for decades until the discovery of skeletal remains near the city in 1992. This course delves into the complex identification process, where dental evidence played a crucial role. However, disagreements arose between Russian and American scientists regarding the identities of the two daughters, highlighting the limitations of skeletal analysis. The discovery of additional remains in 2007 offered further clues, but the mystery surround-ing one daughter’s identity persists due to the absence of the Court Dentist’s records. Through compelling visuals and analysis, the lecture explores the ongoing efforts to definitively identify all members of the Romanov family, showcasing the challenges and complexities of historical forensics.

A smile is a universal greeting that translates into all languages! Smiling individuals are judged as more pleasant and trustworthy, and smiling releases endorphins that improve the mood of those who smile! Psychologists and scientists agree that the simple act of a smile can positively transform a person’s life, as well as the lives of others. Hence, the smile can be considered a critical component of happiness and is fundamental to perceived beauty. As dentists, we are trained to create, maintain, and protect the ideal smile, but what should our goals be in achieving that “gold standard” of beauty? This course seeks to present the current data regarding ideal smile components and highlight the importance of gingival architecture in creating a personalized road map to help patients achieve a vibrant smile.

CUANDO NO COLOCAR IMPLANTES Durante los últimos años se han descripto ciertas entidades que impedirían la colocación de implantes dentales, por medio de diferentes reacciones que pueden perjudicar al paciente y al futuro de los implantes. Entre las más importantes podemos citar a las lesiones liquenoides (LOL), reconocida por la OMS como un Desorden Oral Potencialmente Maligno y a las osteone-crosis inducidas por bisfosfonatos (OIA), causada por drogas antideportivas. Es de suma importancia para el Odontólogo tener conocimiento de estas nosologías ya que la colocación de implantes en esta circunstancia podría traer consecuencias no deseadas pudiendo empeorar las patologías de base.
