Course Description:
Microorganisms such as bacterial, viral and fungal organisms cause primary and opportunistic infections which can affect the oral
cavity. The most common conditions caused by microorganisms in the oral cavity are dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis.
However, numerous other conditions with infectious etiology can involve the tissues of the oro-facial region. Viruses such as
Herpes simplex virus, Human papilloma virus, Coxsackie virus, Epstein-Barr virus; bacterial and fungal organisms such as those
present in the oral flora as well as acquired pathogenic bacteria and fungi can result in infections with oral presentations. Patients
with these infections often consult dental care professionals. |

We do what we were taught in dental school despite time and research passing us by. We sometimes jump on the bandwagon because something sounds good but may be of dubious scientific backing. In this presentation, we'll look at commonly held but not scientifically based myths in kids's dentistry that have been perpetuated by dentists and the "Lay" media for years (Including many old wives' tales). These will include local anesthesia, restorations and crowns and the infamous MID and what it really means, endodontics and preventive dentistry, growth and development, and behavior management. We'll look at the difference between common sense, science, and factless fantasy. 4 CE Units

How to read and evaluate literature and critically assess what we have been taught.

Please join us on October 19, 2023 at 6PM "Via Zoom" for "Death and Disability Planning" with speaker: Julia Goldman, ESQ: When a dentist suddenly dies or becomes permanently disabled, their spouse and dental practice are not prepared to continue with the day-to-day operation of the practice and/or immediately engage a professional team to handle the sale of the practice. This course provides the dentist with basic information and forms necessary, to ensure that his/her spouse can continue to maintain the practice or have a disability group take over day to day operation, and to quickly prepare the practice for sale to an associate, partner or to a third person through a practice broker.
Ms. Goldman, a native Northern Californian, specializes in defending physicians, optometrists, dentists, and small to mid-size employers in the areas of business and employment. In the area of employment law, Ms. Goldman assists with wage and hour and discrimination/harassment/retaliation/wrongful termination defense. Ms. Goldman writes office policy manuals, assists with implementing new policies, provides on the spot advice including terminations, pregnancy, disability inquiries, etc.
In the business law arena, Ms. Goldman provides transactional assistance including drafting, reviewing and revising independent contractor and employment agreements, professional dental/medical practice sales, partnership and shareholder agreements, space sharing agreements and leases, and entity formation such as corporations, and LLCs.
Ms. Goldman lectures in employment and business litigation to local dental/optometric/medical associations, study clubs, and graduate institutions.
Ms. Goldman graduated with a Political Science degree and Paralegal Certification from California State University, Chico.

Fear of the dentist is one of our most common fears. Many patients avoid seeking dental treatment because of these fears. Children are no exception.
In this program, Dr. Malamed will review the two most commonly employed management techniques for dental fear and anxiety: the oral route of drug administration (e.g., triazolam [Halcion]) and inhalation (N20-02).
We will compare their efficacy and safety, as well as their utility in the pediatric dental patient. |

Local anesthesia forms the backbone of pain control techniques in contemporary dental practice. The subject of pain control in dentistry has undergone a recent renewal of interest, a renaissance. In this course, Dr. Malamed will present an in-depth discussion of the problem in achieving MANDIBULAR ANESTHESIA.
The traditional ‘mandibular nerve block’ has one of the lowest success rates of major nerve blocks administered in the human body. Newer techniques, such as the Gow-Gates mandibular nerve block; Akinosi-Vazirani closed mouth mandibular nerve block; intraosseous anesthesia; periodontal ligament injection (PDL) and intraseptal techniques have been developed in an effort to improve success in this area. The local anesthetic articaine HCl has been demonstrated to have significant success when administered by mandibular infiltration in adults, while more recently the ability to buffer local anesthetic solutions has demonstrated potential to both increase the rate of onset of anesthesia as well as increasing its depth. These techniques will be reviewed in this program. |

All lasers are not equal, just like all cars are not the same. This class will educate you on the different types of lasers, what distinguishes each, and which ones have an indication to be used in the management of periodontal disease. We will have a unique event on the emerging science of Lasers in Perio. In this format, two speakers coming from differing backgrounds will discuss different areas of the science, evidence, and clinical management of periodontics with the use of lasers. |

Course Description: Do you want to provide excellent endodontic care for your patients? This one day hands-on course is designed for general dentists to gain expertise and confidence with completing the highest quality endodontics on both vital and necrotic teeth. Participants will learn advanced NiTi rotary reciprocation instrumentation using Adaptive Motion Technology, predictable irrigation protocols using Apical Negative Pressure, and warm vertical obturation using the Continuous Wave technique. Other topics will include diagnosis, negotiation of calcified canals, creation of a glide path, determination of working length, and location of the MB2. This exciting multi-media program highlights solutions and suggestions on how to treat straightforward and complex endodontic cases. This hands-on workshop utilizes 3D printed teeth and is designed to enhance the clinicians’ practical skills.
Learning Objectives:
• Assess protocol for single-visit treatment of both vital and necrotic teeth.
• Differentiate removal of the smear layer and biofilm using the latest irrigation protocols.
• Demonstrate obturation of the root canal system in 3D to capture the natural anatomy with the Continuous Wave of Condensation.
