From Here to Eternity: How to Set Up Your Treatments and Your Practice for Long Term Success
This lecture will present a diverse mix of diagnostic, restorative, and complex treatment protocols that embody the philosophy that the best dentistry is no dentistry. Early detection of dental pathologies and the use of minimally invasive procedures can set a patient up for long term oral success. The materials, equipment, and techniques that have led to nearly 35 years of clinical successes will be explored, along with many of the problems along the way. Learning from these problems and the techniques used torecover can offer clinicians important learning points.
When the National Institute of Health prints that composite resins only last 5.7 years and the main reason for replacement is recurrent decay and fractures, we need to step back and examine how this impacts our patients and practices. The reasons for this lack of success will be presented and techniques for creating long term success will be taught. More complex care will also be presented that follows along the lines of this minimally invasive philosophy.

Learning Objectives:
- This course will delve into the full palate of dental care, from diagnostics to final restoratives and maintenance protocols that create and maintain long term success with minimal impact on the patients’ health
- Minimally invasive preparation designs, restorative techniques, and subsequent equipment utilized will be presented to help the participants tweak and fine tune their current procedures to help their patients
- Course participants will understand biomimetic restorative treatment protocols for more severely destroyed teeth to enhance long term success
- Through complex diagnostics and case presentations the participants will understand not only how they can transition patients into more definitive care but also how to maintain these cases for long term health
- Various advanced diagnostic technologies will be presented that will help the participants understand how these technologies can diagnose early to prevent future complex care and to intervene early to enhance success
Creative Problem Solving: Economic Solutions That Don’t Compromise the Quality of Restorative Care
Often, we are presented with challenges to provide quality care for our patients in the form of rampant caries control, emergency fractures, or even emergency same-day restorations. Couple these challenges with the patients’ budget restrictions, and you find yourself thinking hard about how to provide services that will accomplish a satisfactory resolution.
This lecture will present a technique of using a Nanohybrid heat and pressure cured composite crown shell to rapidly fabricate a high quality long term restoration. With this procedure in your little bag of tricks, many of the day to day issues that you deal with in your practice can have a simple solution that fits any patients’ economic situation. This very inexpensive technique, which can be mostly delegated to your team members and fabricated in your office lab, will help solve these emergency challenges. Using subtle variations of techniques that assistants are currently trained on to fabricate temporary restorations, these same team members can create a more permanent restoration.

Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be introduced to a new concept of fabrication of an in office laboratory composite resin crown that their team can accomplish in a very short period of time
- Participants will understand the many situations where the composite resin crown can help them provide their patients with a viable lower cost alternative to their current crown techniques
- The economic viability of a resin crown will be discussed, showing how it can be a better alternative, in many instances, over a CAD/CAM restoration
- Participants will understand the entire process from diagnosis to fabrication and be able to return to their practice ready to work with their team to delegate the creation of new solutions for their patients
- Hands-on participants will actually have an opportunity to fabricate a crown from a prepared tooth on special models so that they will get the full experience of the process
Restorative Centric: You Need to Start Somewhere
This lecture will explore the use of an anterior midpoint stop splint (AMPS) as a starting point to deciding what directions to take on a restorative case. By recognizing where the joint wants to be in its most relaxed position, we can establish records that guide us along the restorative path to a beautiful healthy smile. Knowledge of the basic anatomy of the joint and muscles of mastication will be taught to help the participants understand the physiology of function and parafunction. An AMPS such as the NTI will not only establish a restorative starting point but can also help many of the patients in your practice who suffer from migraines or tension headaches.
This course will also cover the indications and contraindications of use of the AMPS and how the clinician can problem solve using the signs and symptoms that manifest from the devices.

Learning Objectives:
- Walk away with a better understanding of joint anatomy and how excess muscle activity can trigger tension headaches and migrainous activities
- Gain a step by step approach to achieve predictable results from understanding a starting reproducible jaw position
- Learn to establish the vertical dimension of occlusion, whether for a denture or a full mouth reconstruction, and find a relaxed and comfortable long-term position for the patient
- Understand the relationship between migrainous activity and nocturnal parafunctional activity and that this is all an extension of sleep disorders
- Learn the steps to fabricate an immediate in-office AMPS and adjust it properly
- Learn the technique for creating a laboratory fabricated device, as many of these patients don’t want to go a night without wearing their AMPS and often desire a back up
- See varied uses of the device and understand how each of the different designs can help in creating a more comfortable patient

Super-Generalist: The Pathway to Independence and Fulfillment
Super Generalist is a term that came across my radar screen over 35 years ago while I was in dental school.
Upon graduation, I resolved to make it a personal goal to seek for my entire dental career. Having trained heavily over the years to master everything from basic bonding to complex implant and prosthetic restoratives dentistry, this resolve has allowed me to help a lot of my patients and keep a lot of dentistry that might have been referred out within the confines of our office. This lecture will explore the avenues available to expand your dental school training beyond the limits you may feel that you as a general dentist are restricted to.

When faced with either partial or full edentulism, the options that are available to most patients are often limited to either conventional dentures, which are poorly retained, or implant-retained fixed prostheses. These prostheses can be very expensive, complicated, and stressful for the dentist. Implant retained removable dentures are a wonderful “middleground” option. The only problem is that they require knowledge and comfort with all the tiny parts and pieces needed for successful execution.
In this entertaining and highly practical presentation, Dr. Gupta simplifies this process, providing a simple, step-by-step guide from the new patient consult all the way to final seating.
Learning Objectives:
This course is ideally positioned as a full-day course with a hands-on component. If needed, it can be compressed to a half-day course. Content is relevant to dentists and their teams.

Dental case acceptance and refusal often cannot be rationally explained. Our profession has taught us that the ability to smile and properly function is tremendously valuable, yet we often find patients seemingly incapable of understanding such value. Instead of negatively judging these patients, it is important that we understand what is actually going on inside our patient's heads at the time when complex dental recommendations are made. By understanding our patients, we will become much more successful at getting them to understand us and realize the value of what we have to offer.
