But at Dentaltown, the school is anywhere and anytime you want with our ever-expanding roster of quality online CE courses! Townie Meeting 2015 Lecture Series We can't bring you all the action from our annual Townie Meeting in Las Vegas, but we can certainly share some of the top-notch education that was presented there. This month, we are releasing our Townie Meeting 2015 series containing courses from Lee Ann Brady, Ara Nazarian, Mike Melkers, Bruce Baird, Mark Hyman, Neal Patel, Dale Miles, and many more. You now have access to more than 22 hours of excellent education in both clinical dentistry and practice management. As part of the registration fee for Townie Meeting, all 2015 attendees have access to these courses for free. Miss the meeting? Don't worry-it's only $225 to view for anyone who was unable to attend. (But be sure to sign up for Townie Meeting 2016!) Repair and Protect Enamel with Remineralizing Agents by Deborah Levin-Goldstein, RDH, MS Caries is a dynamic disease process involving the cyclic demineralization and remineralization of the tooth structure. A key preventive approach is maintaining an oral environment favorable to remineralization. Fluoride's ability to promote remineralization is limited by the availability of calcium and phosphate in saliva. The four types of remineralizing therapeutics that attract calcium and phosphate will be discussed, as well as the caries process and CAMBRA. The Blunderbuss Apex: A Search for the Smoking Gun by Dr. Jarod Johnson This course is designed to improve dental skills in the pulpal management of immature permanent teeth impacted by trauma or caries. Areas covered include a review of methods to obtain the correct pulpal and periapical diagnosis, current research on dental materials (specifically bioceramics), treatment planning, and case selection. Learn how to properly identify treatment options for each pulpal diagnosis, including those ranging from indirect pulp therapy on the vital pulp to regenerative endodontic procedures on the necrotic pulp. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages to each treatment option are discussed, as well as how to identify cases that may be best treated by another option due to medical conditions, patient behavior, and parental commitment. Esthetic Dentistry for the Older Patient by Dr. Arnold I Liebman This presentation discusses changing demographics as the older population is expanding in the United States, Europe and Asia. As business owners, we need to be aware of this patient population that requires our services. The older population has special needs due to age-related changes, medical issues, effects of medication, difficulty doing home care, and access to care. I have built a successful practice focusing on the older patient. This presentation discusses why it is beneficial for dentists to have an interest in treating the older patient. I show how to perform esthetic dentistry on the older patient who may not be able to do home care and has someone else responsible for taking him or her to the dental office. Restoring Patient Confidence with a New Zr Removable Telescopic Implant Prosthesis by Arian Deutsch, CDT Telescopic solutions have been a staple in European dentistry for more than 50 years, and they are now making an impact around the world using modern materials and techniques that were previously not available. This course provides an in-depth look into the clinical and technical steps Continued on p. 20 by Howard M.
