SUMMARY:Treating Caries Chemically: Think like an atom
DESCRIPTION:Clinical practice today uses scientifically sound evidence-based approaches. There is a noticeable shift to the caries treatment paradigm by better preventing and managing caries as a disease. \n\n\n\nThis presentation aims to provide a comprehensive scientific overview of caries risk assessment\, along with the utilization of chemical treatments for caries disease at the patient level and minimally invasive dentistry (MID) at the tooth level. New tools\, such as the ADA Caries Classification System (ADA CCS)\, selective caries removal\, and chemical approaches like silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and glass ionomer cement (GIC)\, will be explored in detail. Additionally\, practical clinical cases will be presented to illustrate these concepts effectively. \n\n\n\nThe presentation provides an excellent update relevant to clinical applications for the dentist\, dental therapist\, hygienist\, assistant\, and front office.

SUMMARY:Periodontal Playbook: The Art of Saving Teeth Without Losing Your Mind
DESCRIPTION:This session for dentists and hygienists will take a deep dive into the world of periodontics and the art of saving teeth and implants. Saving teeth is more predictable than saving ailing and failing implants — this course will review why and convince you to save teeth for our patients and ourselves. \n\n\n\nWe will review the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis of periodontitis\, the multifactorial etiology and disease pathogenesis of periodontitis and peri-implantitis\, and the prognostic challenges we face with perio patients. We will review non-surgical options for the general office and anticipated outcomes prior to jumping into periodontal regenerative options and various surgical approaches to treat teeth and implants with bone loss. We will review the oral-systemic link and how to manage medically complex perio patients with systemic co-morbidities. Lastly\, we will discuss why treatment without maintenance is of limited value. \n\n\n\nIf you have ever wondered what perio options exist beyond scaling and root planing — this course if for you. If you have asked why is the periodontist trying to save a tooth with a questionable prognosis — this course is for you. If you have pondered why so many patients have bone loss around implants — this course is for you. If you have random questions for the periodontist you’ve been dying to ask — this course is for you! \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nBe able to make an accurate periodontal diagnosis \n\n\n\nUnderstand and explain what causes periodontitis\n\n\n\nBe able to make an accurate periodontal prognosis\n\n\n\nUnderstand the limitations of non-surgical periodontal therapy\n\n\n\nIdentify which perio patients need surgery and why\n\n\n\nUnderstand the anatomic differences between teeth and implants\n\n\n\nBe able to confidently discuss peri-implantitis with patients\n\n\n\nIdentify who needs maintenance — when and why\n\n\n\nExplain the importance of maintenance to patients\n\n\n\nJoin the effort to save teeth!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADA Member Dentist $240.00Hygienist $100.00All other staff $60.00
