If Plaque Could Talk
If Plaque Could Talk a live webinar
Presenter: Dr. Brian Nový, DDS
Dental professionals are convinced plaque is their nemesis. We curse its presence and tell our patients they need to brush more frequently. Yet, the scientific evidence indicates plaque (in some cases) can provide colonization resistance against cariogenic bacteria. What can we do for our patients to help them grow this beneficial plaque? The simple answer may surprise you…

Managing Oral Biofilms with Fluoride, Calcium and Phosphate
Managing Oral Biofilms with Fluoride, Calcium and Phosphate: WHY? WHEN? and HOW?
Presenter: Dr. Hien Ngo CE Credits: 1 Release Date: 8/17/2010
Our current understanding of the cause of caries has changed to the extent that we need to design new ways to combat this disease. It is now known that caries is caused by oral biofilms rather than planktonic micororganisms. Biofilms that colonize the oral cavity are extremely complex in nature. Bacteria residing in biofilms have specific relationships with each other, exist in their own microenvironment, and express properties different from that in planktonic culture. Success in the prevention and management of caries depends on the effective management or disruption of this biofilm. The challenge is to understand the environmental conditions in which oral health intervention and products can be effective. The clinical management of caries in relation to recent findings about the behaviour of biofilms will be addressed in this lecture.

Keynote Presentation: The Role of Technology in the Examination, Treatment Planning, and Presentation of Care – 1 CE credit
Presented by: Frank Spear DDS, MSD
Thursday, November 4, 2010: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. CST
The role of technology in the delivery of care has grown at an incredible rate in the profession of dentistry. Things such as digital radiography, chairside cad-cam, and guided implant surgery using cone beam technology to produce the surgical guides and restorations before the implants are even placed are just a few examples. But for the advancements in technology to be applied the patient has to desire the care, and the dentist has to present it. In these areas many dentists truly miss the boat in terms of what is possible. This presentation will look at three areas where simple, affordable technology can play a huge role in enhancing your practice enjoyment, confidence, and profitability.
Note: This presentation will be available on-demand after the scheduled keynote

Better Case Acceptance
8 Strategies for Better Case Acceptance
Wednesday, October 13, 2010 8:00 PM - 9:15 PM EDT
Attracting and closing sales for large cases is increasingly difficult in these hard economic times.
There was a time only a few years ago when patients would just walk in the dentist’s door and practically ask to be treated. No more!! Those same people ARE still out there but they are fewer in number than before, making outreach absolutely essential.
If you want to be among the few dentists who still do the larger fee-for-service (no insurance) cases regularly, you MUST use a polished practiced perfected system to attract and close the sales.
The decision is yours but remember when it comes to your clinical skills it’s “use it or lose it.” If you don’t want to “lose it” listen in as Dr. James McAnally, (CEO, Big Case Marketing) describes the workings of the Big Case Marketing and Case Acceptance System that does the job for every day for your colleagues.

Effective and Productive Instrument Processing
4 CEUs
Abstract
In order to meet the challenges of safety, time management and asepsis,the dental health care provider must have a plan for infection control, including the use and care of dental instruments and disposables. Following the basic CDC guidelines can help to significantly reduce the risk of microbial transmission. After the patient is dismissed, the operatory must be prepared for the next patient, including the treatment of surfaces and instrument processing. There is a variety of methods available to properly reprocess instruments. Choosing a system that minimizes risk, maximizes productivity and preserves instruments is essential.

Mid-Atlantic PANDA Sessions I & II
Prof. Sheryl Syme
Course Description: Mid-Atlantic Prevent Abuse and Neglect Through Dental Awareness is a continuing education course designed to educate dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and others about the problems of child abuse and neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and neglect, and human trafficking. This course aims to teach dental and other health care professionals to recognize the indicators of abuse and neglect and inform them of their legal and ethical responsibilities in reporting and referring victims. Abuse and neglect are an ever-increasing problem in today’s society. Dental professionals are frequently the first health care professional to render treatment to a maltreated individual, yet make few reports. The more education you receive, the more likely you are to recognize and report. Early recognition with timely reporting and referrals to appropriate agencies can help prevent more significant health consequences and even death in maltreated individuals.

Zero Tolerance For The Bloody Prophy & What To Do About It
Karen Davis, RDH, BSDH, RDHMP
Course Description: All dental hygienists and dentists involved in providing prophylaxis have experienced, “the bloody prophy”. In fact, across the country today bloody prophys are being provided, and patients sent out the door with an appointment to provide this same service again in six more months! Given compelling research that reveals a strong mouth-body connection to overall health, clinicians should develop a zero tolerance for providing ongoing bloody prophys. This course examines the reality surrounding making a conversion from prophylaxis to therapeutic care for existing patients along with the scientific, clinical and business rationale for doing so.
Participants will learn: How to distinguish between preventive and therapeutic treatmentHow the incidence of periodontal diseases should impact clinical servicesHow biofilm infections becomes a ‘game changer’ for the patient’s careWhat to say to bloody prophy patients, scheduled for routine cleanings and how to treat their diseaseWhy team continuity is vital to successful shifts in current proceduresHow healthier patients can lead to healthier profits
