CE update

Improving Case Acceptance
by Dr. Mark Murphy
Helping patients want what we know they need drives
the economic and reward engines of our practices. Help
patients have better health, do more of the dentistry that
fulfills and stimulates you, and be more successful in
your practice. This course demonstrates how to improve
the educational value of the examination experience and
how to overcome the "insurance entitlement" behavior
that patients often exhibit.

How to Get Patients to Go Out of Network,
Accept Comprehensive Care and Get Paid
Upfront (Recorded live at Townie Meeting)
by Dr. Steve Rasner
Many once powerful practices have hit a wall. The
reasons are clear: massive decreased third-party payments,
the influx of corporate care and a capricious patient
population. This course is a no-nonsense approach to
reclaiming what might have been lost. This clear, easy,
inexpensive and absolutely replicable blueprint will put
practices back on track. A must for the entire team.

Dental Implants from Planning
to Restoration: Immediate Placement
and Loading of Dental Implants
by Dr. Charles Schlesinger
Immediate and early loading of dental implants has
become something patients expect, and something every
doctor providing implants treatment should understand.
This concise segment includes a discussion of the ins
and outs of immediate loading implants, along with the
rationale behind this type of treatment and its requirements.

Creativity with Ceramics
(Recorded live at Townie Meeting)
by Dr. David Hornbrook
Dentistry has always been in search of a replacement
for metal-supported treatments, and the time is now
to start exploring options. This presentation covers

what's available, when to use what, how to optimize
predictability, effective lab communication, reducing
remakes, and a thorough understanding of the cementation systems that optimize results.

Improving Your Confidence and
Competence in Office Oral Surgery:
Atraumatic Surgical Extractions,
Flaps and Splitting Teeth
by Dr. Jay Reznick
This presentation, recorded at Townie Meeting,
will cover important oral surgery topics for the general
dentist, including management of the patient on
anticoagulants, antibiotic prophylaxis, design and use
of surgical flaps, handpieces and hand instruments,
surgical extractions, splitting teeth, retrieving root tips
and atraumatic extraction techniques.

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics
by Dr. Lane Ochi
Successfully treating patients with fi xed prosthodontics requires a mastery of materials and mechanical
concepts, as well as a respect for tooth structure. We
need to be aware of the interactions between preparation
design, margin configuration, core buildups or posts,
and the luting agent. After viewing this course, you'll
be able to identify the causes of failures and prevent
them from recurring.

The Essentials of Endodontic
Emergencies: Diagnosis, Safe Access
and Infection Management
by Dr. Brett E. Gilbert
This course teaches the essential skills needed
to confidently handle endodontic emergencies in a
general practice setting. The material presented will
help clinicians apply protocols and provide tips on how
to efficiently diagnose, access and locate canals safely.
Infection management and postoperative instructions
and communication are discussed in detail. ■
