For over 100 years, the standard of care in dentistry has been an explorer, an x-ray, and a periodontal probe. This program will challenge the audience as to how today’s diagnostic technologies can be integrated into our offices, and how they impact diagnostic protocols today. Truth be told, we have been guessing far too much. The more information we can attain, the far greater the ultimate clinical result. The program takes everyday clinicals situations and identifies how to maximize diagnostics and thereby maximize long term outcomes for your patients and practice.
Highlights:
- The limitations of traditional diagnostics, contrasted with new technologies on the market today
- Incorporating modern day diagnostics into new protocols for patient care
- Customizing what diagnostics are best for your practice and how this raises long term outcomes and decision making
- Communication and treatment plan acceptance: implementing new approaches to growth
- How your own in-office dental plan ties in our day
- Clinical casework and outcomes that support diagnostically driven dentistry
Objectives:
- To update the attendee in regards to “what’s best for the patient”
- How upping your diagnostics drives greater treatment plan acceptance
- Incorporating many of the latest materials and techniques to achieve superior long term outcomes
Face the truth: not every implant is placed in the ideal position and not every patient has the ideal setting for the final restoration. The challenges are numerous: access via limited vertical opening, limited vertical interocclusal distance, tissue challenges, and proximal issues, just to name a few. Leaving treatment decisions to the lab or lead surgeon is simply not an option anymore.Whether you are utilizing the traditional single screw one-piece approach, the cementable crown, or even the combination termed the hybrid approach, you must understand what your options are for long term success. Treatment coordination and planning for optimum results often involves superior diagnostics utilizing CBCT imaging, and the latest options in digital scanning for communication with both the patient and lab. It’s 2022; Let’s get up to date with today’s technologies and expectations!
Highlights:
- CBCT: Why this is not just for the surgeon but for every GP and everyday challenges that 2D imaging can’t see
- Today’s initial exam: How to increase case acceptance via today’s diagnostics and technologies
- Step by step case presentations you can take back to the “chair” Monday
- Which cement is the only biocompatible cement for implant cemented crowns
- Immediate temporization: The technique and why the “flipper” usually belongs in the ocean
- Stock abutments versus milled
- ADD general restorative dentistry combination cases
- Long term issues and maintenance approaches (and yes, you need to know what future issues will be!)
Since the era of GC Black, dentistry has been using an explorer as its chief diagnostic tool for fissure and smooth surface caries. In the post-World War 2 era, x-rays became another diagnostic mainstay in dental practices. Flash forward to 2023 and what are you using in your office? How sensitive and specific are these diagnostics for our patients? The answer, not very! This course takes you in a deep dive into how and why you should be updating your diagnostic skills, and how both your patients and practice benefit. Unless you like premature failures and dental surprises, this course will disappoint you. Our journey during this course is all about optimizing success and YES, there are so many options available today. It’s truly not if you will make these changes, but when. Come enjoy our day together and understand not just the diagnostics, but the everyday clinical solutions with each case.
Highlights:
Highlights:
- Optimizing 2D imaging with artificial intelligence. We all know we miss stuff, come see your second set of eyes and why patients often believe a computer more than you
- Why all too often explorers and 2D imaging are not the best diagnostics, and yet for other patient groups they are. Do you know which group best benefits?
- How today’s transillumination can change your bitewing protocols and why fluorescence does add more to the story
- Why CBCT imaging is NOT just about implants and why it should be in most practices
- Step by step new patient protocols to patients saying, YES
- Step by step recall patients understanding that things change and getting them to say, YES
- Clinical casework that is everyday dentistry but without the surprises
With more patients entering their 8th and 9th decades of life, our role as health care providers continues to face new challenges in treating this population. As these patients walk into our offices, they present challenges that are often unique and require customized approaches to their care.
Highlights:
- Prevention is for all ages and doesn’t stop here!
- Why this patient population loves our in-office prevention plan
- Customizing your approach for plaque, xerostomia, and so much more
- Reparative dentistry: When, where, and why, and what materials are best to utilize
