LIGHT CURING COMPLEXITIES: CLINICAL SIMPLICITY 

Several concurrent light curing trends intended to reduce steps and save time in the restorative procedure have been rapidly evolving. The simultaneous development of bulk curing restorative materials with less shrinkage and recent advances in high-intensity LED curing lights has created an expectation of single-increment composite placement requiring reduced curing times. This presentation attempts to provide some insights into the complexities of photopolymerization and establish if these recent trends are realistic expectations or dreams that are too good to be true.

Learn:

• a historical perspective on curing of dental materials
• insights on the impact of composite optical properties on light curing
• the impact of light intensity, curing time and the blue/violet light on curing of dental materials
• clinical strategies for improving and providing reliable light curing

Description:

Sleep-disordered breathing ranges from upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is a serious medical condition that adversely affects the upper airway and breathing during sleep. Novel oral appliance therapy differs from conventional mandibular advancement devices and traditional palatal expansion as it is used to correct the nasopharyngeal airway through midfacial redevelopment in combination with mandibular correction for the oropharyngeal airway to improve the upper airway. Over 50 published studies have indicated that correction of sleep-related breathing disorders is possible using this novel approach for non-surgical upper airway remodeling.

Learn:

• to understand normal craniofacial growth and development
• to recognize the effects of Western culture on growth and development
• the importance of nasal breathing, facial and dental clues

Description:

Did you know that over 50% of the patients in your practice have an airway/sleep problem? Attend the AIRWAY SUMMIT and learn to recognize the signs and how to treat airway health issues.

The Foundation for Airway Health brings together leading dental educators, scientific academy representatives, allied health organizations, and members of the public to offer information you and your dental team must know about unrecognized sleep/airway issues and what you can do to impact positive health change for patients. This year the Foundation will offer a more interactive program to allow you to participate in recognizing hidden issues and developing treatment paths for care. Think you have an airway problem? Register early - yours can be one of the case presentations. Learning is facili-tated when listening, and note-taking are joined with active participation. If you have taken airway sleep courses and have not yet added this service to your practice, this course is a must.

Unrecognized,” Hidden” airway problems are not only expressed by poor sleep but also as chronic disease and inflammation, learning difficulties, perfor-mance issues, and behavior problems. Currently, only 15% of airway problems are recognized. Dentists can and must play a front-line role in diagnosing and treating airway dysfunction. Attendees at the Airway Summit will learn about the emerging importance of airway health and sleep in dental practice, how to improve treatment outcomes, join the fight against chronic disease, and expand the professional practice in these areas.

Learn:

• screen patients for airway and sleep issues and follow ADA recommendations 
• understand the connection between airway and sleep issues and chronic medical and dental health disorders
• be aware of how airway sleep issues affect growth, development, and learning
• include airway and sleep screening for better outcomes in restorative dentistry
• recognize the signs and symptoms of airway sleep issues in your patients when you return to your practice

The Foundation for Airway Health is a 501(c)(3). Founded in 2012, the Foundation for Airway Health is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness with the general public and the healthcare industry. Through its initiatives, the Foundation seeks to highlight the role of airway in overall health and well-being for all and educate clinicians to recognize the role and importance of optimal airway physiology and sleep in the areas of health, development, performance, and function.

Brighter Frontiers in Tooth Whitening: Utilizing a Unique Formulation and LED Tray to Deliver Outstanding Results

Tooth whitening benefits drive demand and purchase intent of dental products for consumers around the world. While modern tooth whitening has been around for decades, there are limitations to many widely-used approaches (including reports of product messiness, tooth sensitivity, and unrealistic whitening expectations). In this symposium, the clinicians discuss recent scientific innovations in tooth whitening that are helping to propel this area forward. They discuss the research and science behind a novel tooth whitening approach, including a formulation that enhances the user experience and maximizes efficacy when paired with a convenient portable LED light system. The clinical results, the patient, and professional knowledge of the formula and device are discussed. Finally, we will share how Colgate has been able to harness historical clinical data from whitening studies to enable simulations that predict whitening for prospective patients. The program concludes with a brief question-and-answer period.

This course provides the history of geriatric dentistry and how recent studies impact the overall health of the elderly population in the world. This program reviews diagnosis, prevention, management, treatment, and some clinical care used in providing oral health care to aging individuals.

Learn:

• clinician care for the elderly patient
• about medically and mentally compromised patients

A CHAVE DO SUCESSO NA HOF: DO PLANEJAMENTO À EXECUÇÃO.

A associação do uso de toxina botulínica do tipo A, bioestimuladores como a hidroxiapatita de cálcio e preenchedores faciais a base de ácido hialurônico, quando bem empregada, pode devolver aspectos de jovialidade, respeitando as características individuais do paciente. As modificações estruturais decorrentes do envelhecimento, embora sejam normais, podem ser trata-das ou prevenidas. Atualmente, o emprego de terapias injetáveis garante um gerenciamento do processo de envelhecimento sem que haja exageros, assegurando resultados elegantes ao preservar a naturalidade.

VERSATILIDADE DA HIDROXIAPATITA DE CÁLCIO 

A aplicação de Bioestimuladores de Colágeno tem sido, atualmente, o procedimento de rejuvenescimento facial mais empregado nas práticas clínicas, já que os pacientes buscam cada dia mais melhorar a sua aparência. A Hidroxiapatita de cálcio quando utilizada de forma pura e/ou diluída proporciona melhora da flacidez assim como efeito lifting e definição do contorno da face. Nesta palestra apresentaremos os protocolos e diretrizes de prática clínica que garantem resultado e segurança.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA BAIXA IMUNOGENICIDADE NOS PROTOCOLOS DE DERMOREVITALIZAÇÃO. 

Os protocolos de dermorevitalização visam tratar, rejuvenescer e reestruturar a pele pela integração de diversas terapias que unem a indução ao colágeno, dermoinfusão de ativos, toxina botulínica intradérmica e peeling em sessão única. A Toxina Botulínica pode atuar como antígeno e aplicações em períodos curtos podem acelerar a produção de anticorpos que reduzem ou bloqueiam os efeitos de sua ação, causando um insucesso permanente. Por tanto, é importante considerar a utilização de uma toxina botulínica de baixa imunogenicidade a fim de garantir o sucesso do tratamento a longo prazo.
