SUMMARY:HYBRID COURSE - Management and Utilization of the RDAEF
DESCRIPTION:There is strong evidence that allied dental personnel increase productivity of dental offices and clinics. In 2010\, via AB 2637\, California Registered Dental Assistants in Extended Functions (RDAEF) received additional restorative functions\, allowable under the direct supervision of a dentist. These functions include: \n\n\n\nConduct preliminary evaluation of the patient’s oral health\, including (but not limited to) charting\, intraoral and extra-oral evaluation of soft tissue\, classifying occlusion\, and myofunctional evaluation.Perform oral health assessments in school-based\, community health project settings under the direction of a dentist\, registered dental hygienist\, or registered dental hygienist in alternative practice. \n\n\n\n\nSize and fit endodontic master points and accessory points.\n\n\n\nCement endodontic master points and accessory points.\n\n\n\nTake final Impressions for tooth-borne removable prosthesis.\n\n\n\nPlace\, contour\, finish\, and adjust all direct restorations.\n\n\n\nPolish and contour existing amalgam restorations.\n\n\n\nAdjust and cement permanent indirect restorations.\n\n\n\nPerform cord retraction of gingiva for impression procedures.\n\n\n\nTake final impressions for permanent indirect restorations.\n\n\n\n\nOne viable alternative for increasing production and controlling office overhead while maintaining quality of care – is the utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice. There are currently only 1\,756 licensed RDAEFs in the entire state of California. There are 34\,619 licensed DDS in California. Each dentist can employ three (3) RDAEFs in practice. During the course\, you will hear from dentists who are utilizing RDAEFs in practice and they will share the impact the RDAEF has had on their practice. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the Loma Linda University RDAEF program and details of the extensive training that the students receive. You will have an opportunity to see the quality of work that these students have produced. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the course\, dentists will be informed on how to evaluate the direct restorations placed by the RDAEFs in their practice. \n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the California laws and regulations pertaining to the scope of duties and utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice\n\n\n\nGain an in-depth knowledge of the RDAEF curriculum\n\n\n\nLearn from other dentists how the RDAEF2 has improved their dental practices\n\n\n\nLearn how stress can be reduced and moral is raised by the utilization of the RDAEF2\n\n\n\nLearn how to incorporate the RDAEF2 into your practice\n\n\n\nSee images of the outstanding work performed by the RDAEF students\n\n\n\nBe calibrated to perform evaluations of restorations performed by the RDAEF2 in your practice

SUMMARY:Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
DESCRIPTION:Platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) is an autogenous matrix derived from the concentration of the patient’s blood platelets. A simplified chairside procedure results in the production of a fibrin membrane that is capable of stimulating the release of many important growth factors involved during wound healing processes that take place after surgery. This course will provide lectures and a hands-on laboratory session to become knowledgeable in the use of the L-PRF technology. \n\n\n\nLearning Topics \n\n\n\n\nBlood draw technique\n\n\n\nBiological principles of L-PRF\n\n\n\nCase selection and planning\n\n\n\nSurgical techniques\n\n\n\nPRF preparation techniques\n\n\n\nManagement of complications and post-operative care\n\n\n\nUse and creation of PRF from start to finish\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Exercises \n\n\n\n\nGrowth Factors in Implant Dentistry\n\n\n\nSoft tissue management\n\n\n\nComplications and management\n\n\n\nOptimizing outcome

SUMMARY:Dental Acupuncture and Integrative Oral Medicine (Session 1 of 4)
DESCRIPTION:Patients are increasingly seeking out acupuncture as an adjunct to standard pain control measures. This is becoming more relevant in the setting of the current opiate epidemic\, as acupuncture provides a non-pharmacologic approach to reduce pain. This is also important in the realms of sleep medicine and orofacial pain where pharmacotherapy is riddled with a high side effect burden and risk of abuse. Despite the WHO having recommended acupuncture for treatments on headache\, facial pain\, neuralgia and insomnia\, few programs are available for dentists who wish to seek training.  \n\n\n\nUCLA School of Dentistry is offering a unique\, evidence-based program to train dentists in the basics of dental acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory. By combining TCM principles with Western allopathic Medicine modalities\, participants will feel comfortable diagnosing and understanding the pathophysiology of both acute and chronic oral pain conditions from an integrative East-West perspective. Moreover\, participants will learn basic acupuncture treatments that can be safely delivered to patients.  \n\n\n\n4 Session Course at UCLA February 2-4\, 2024 March 8-10\, 2024 April 19-21\, 2024 May 31- Jun 2\, 2024  \n\n\n\nThis course consists of 50 hours of didactic and 30 hours of clinical training including instruction on the following subjects: -Theoretical foundation of acupuncture\, with emphasis on current physiological concepts as they relate to traditional -Chinese medicine -Acupuncture anatomy and physiology -Acupuncture techniques\, including instruction in the use of needling techniques; moxibustion\, electroacupuncture and other noninvasive techniques for stimulating acupuncture points; precautions (e.g. sterilization of needles); contraindications and complications\, including adverse systemic effects -Application of acupuncture to the practice of dentistry \n\n\n\nKenneth E.
