Although orthodontics has advanced tremendously in the last 100 years, it can only solve tooth position issues, not necessarily tooth shape or lack of dentition. However, restorative or prosthetic solution alone can often be quite cumbersome and unnecessary complicate if the underlying dentition is not in proper “position”. To that end, ideal treatment plans, and outcomes often require expertise of many professions each with their own skill set. As many patients may be reluctant to wear fixed braces as part of their dental rehabilitation, the reluctance towards undergoing Orthodontics has diminished dramatically with utilization of Invisalign Aligners. This course will showcase a number of pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment plans and discuss how using Invisalign Aligners made this process not just simpler for the patients, but to all parties involved in the rehabilitation process.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how to use Digital Orthodontic Interface, namely ClinCheck, to treatment plan restorative/prosthetic rehabilitation

• Review Invisalign Aligner design to increase predictability of treatment outcomes

• Discuss timing and coordinating with different providers for smooth patient case management

• Show case the versatility of the Invisalign appliance on its own or as a hybrid system to accomplish pre-restorative/pre-prosthetic dental alignment

Dr. Omid Kiarash - Atraumatic Extraction With Concomitant Ridge Preservation For The General Dentist (08:45-12:00) - MORNING - Cat 2

Atraumatic Extraction with Concomitant Ridge Preservation for the General Dentist

Dr. Omid Kiarash
08:45-12:00
CATEGORY 2

Evidence based studies have demonstrated the biologically destructive process which ensues after a tooth is extracted. This natural process not only compromises the extraction site for a possible future implant supported restoration but can also compromise the support tissue around the adjacent teeth in the event they are to be used as abutment teeth for a bridge.

Furthermore, an atrophic ridge underneath a pontic can lead to soft tissue concavities, which can create esthetic concerns for the patient if these regions are in the esthetic area, and discomfort from food accumulation when these pontic regions are in the posterior area of the mouth. However, what the literature has also shown us is the majority of this naturally destructive process tends to occur within the first few weeks and months immediately after an extraction in susceptible individuals.

Ridge Preservation at the time of tooth extraction would thus be the best approach to not only minimize this adverse outcome but rather to capitalize on the naturally occurring wound healing physiology of the extraction socket to maximize bone growth.

This course is designed for clinicians who wish to sharpen and expand their knowledge to a more advanced level, as well as for clinicians who simply wish to stay abreast of all the new approaches and current philosophies on hard tissue management during the extraction of a tooth and for implant site preparation.

This advanced surgical course is centered on our teaching philosophy and approach; to merge evidence based scientific literatures and deliver it in a practical hands-on manner, making it useful and applicable to everyday practice for the general dentist.

Course Objectives:

• Describe our method and philosophy for ridge preservation grafting and gain confidence in clinical assessment of their cases.

• Comprehend the indications, guidelines and surgical steps for different methods of bone grafting.

• Have a better understanding of the anatomy and the biology of wound healing and bone graft maturation.

• Improve their skills in diagnosis, prevention, and management of intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with ridge preservation grafting.

CBCT: A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF ENDODONTICS

LOUIS H. BERMAN, DDS, FACD

08:45-12:00
CATEGORY 2

The most important first step when considering endodontic treatment is Diagnosis. Unfortunately, periapical radiographs can only give us part of the radiographic assessment. CBCT offers an entirely different look at the root morphology and periapical tissues. From visualizing root resorption, root anomalies, canal orientation and prognosis assessment, CBCT is the most dramatic breakthrough in endodontics since the surgical microscope. In cases of complex diagnosis or questionable prognosis assessment, a CBCT analysis has been shown to change the treatment plan for an endodontic case almost half of the time. This very clinicallybased presentation will review the nuances of CBCT technology and how it is now a necessary component of endodontic assessment and treatment.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the various three-dimensional planes observed in a CBCT scan.

• Understand the advantages of CBCT over periapical radiographs.

• Recognize the three-dimensional location of root resorption.

• Better understand the causes of endodontic re-infections.

Biography:

Dr. Berman received his dental degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, and his Certificate in Endodontics from The Albert Einstein Medical Center. He is Clinical Associate Professor of Endodontics at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, a Clinical Instructor and Guest Lecturer at The Albert Einstein Medical Center, and Resident Faculty at Spear Education. He has lectured internationally in the field of endodontics and has published in several peer reviewed international dental journals as well as co-authoring textbook chapters on numerous topics in various endodontic textbooks. He is past president of the Maryland State Association of Endodontics and is a member of the Journal of Endodontics Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Berman is the co-author of the chapter on Diagnosis and the chapter on Root Fractures in Cohen’s Pathways of the Pulp, where he is the co-editor with Dr. Kenneth Hargreaves. He is also the senior editor and contributing author of the comprehensive textbook, Dental Traumatology. He is the President and Founder of Berman Dental Instruments. A board certified endodontist and Fellow of the American College of Dentistry, Dr. Berman has been in full time private practice in Annapolis, Maryland for the past thirty-nine years.

13:15 - 16:30
CATEGORY 2

It’s a fact: perfect endodontic treatment can sometimes be unsuccessful. Unfortunately, the lack of healing can often be attributed to an inadequate preliminary diagnosis or an improper prognosis assessment. Specifically, crown and root cracks and fractures can lead to symptoms, pulp necrosis, and possible endodontic failure. Proper diagnosis and prognosis assessment with respect to observed or non-observed cracks and fractures are essential. In addition, the patient deserves to be properly informed as to any potential decrease in the case prognosis. Dr. Berman will systematically review the many variables that should be taken into consideration before the bur ever hits the tooth. After this presentation, you will never look at pending endodontic treatment the same way again.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the radiographic interpretation of root fractures.

• Understand the CBCT interpretation of root fractures.

• Understand the clinical detection of root fractures.

• Understand the prognosis of root fractures.

Dr. Micah Sadigh -Thoughts, Emotions, Meaning, And The Dynamics Of Chronic Pain (08:45-12:00) - MORNING - Cat 3

Thoughts, Emotions, Meaning, and the Dynamics of Chronic Pain

Dr. Micah Sadigh

08:45 - 12:00

MORNING SESSION
CATEGORY 3

In this lecture, we will explore the neurophysiology of chronic pain, which will lead us to the inexorable conclusion that the experience of persistent pain results in the activation of complex emotional centers in the brain. We will then delve into how these centers play a role in the perception and evaluation of a once exclusively physical signal. Hence, to understand and effectively treat chronic pain, we must incorporate those interventions that address thoughts, feelings, and the meaning that patients attribute to their pain. 

Objectives:

1. To explore the role of the limbic system in the experience and perception of persistent pain

2. To demonstrate the role of thoughts, and particularly distorted thoughts, in the subjective evaluation of pain

3. To discuss how chronic, refractory pain contributes to helplessness, which leads to depression with cognitive and motivational consequences

4. To demonstrate the role of meaning, or lack thereof, in coping with persistent pain

AFTERNOON SESSION
CATEGORY 3

Burnout is a psychophysiological phenomenon, which can have devastating consequences at physical, intrapersonal, and interpersonal levels, with well-documented implications in dental medicine. It is often experienced by highly conscientious, caring individuals, who do not know how or when to say ‘no,’ who tend to be demanding on themselves, with little or no awareness of their limitations. This presentation is a comprehensive exploration of the many dimensions of burnout and how to diagnose, treat, and reverse its course.

Objectives

1. To gain a deeper understanding of the psychodynamics of burnout

2. To explore the psychophysiological mechanisms of burnout 

3. To examine why dentists are particularly vulnerable to experience burnout

4. To recognize the early, mid, and late manifestations of burnout

5. To develop effective interventions for treating the burnout syndrome

Cybersecurity and Maintaining the
Integrity of Digital Patient Records

Dr. Ian Furst

AFTERNOON SESSION
13:00-16:15
CATEGORY 1

In the dental office, we often think about hygiene, prevention, infection and disease. We know that viruses and disease are ubiquitous, and no one is immune from the threat of illness. Like in life, the cyber landscape is full of risk. Decision-makers need to think in clinical terms about their information technology infrastructure. Systems should not be thought of as either clean or infected, but in terms of a wellness model that considers susceptibility, resilience, wellness, vulnerability to infection and recoverability.
This course will help decision-makers understand how to protect the integrity of digital records, and how their networks store and access data. It will give them a checklist based framework, from a clinicians perspective, to guide discussions with their IT professionals, create policies in the office, and place an emphasis on multiple, overlapping and mutually supportive defensive systems that balance benefits, risks and costs.

Learning Objectives

• Identify what falls into patient data, and if it’s integrity is “intact”

• Identify how IT is currently being used, the physical make up of an IT network, and key policies that need to be in place.

• Identify the core assets in their own practice that need protection and identify the most-significant threats to their business • Learn what to discuss with IT professionals, as a decision-maker, to build a threat-based, layered and defensive network architecture.
