Dentaltown August 2014 - (Page 16)

continuing education update What's New in Continuing Education? Hard to believe summer is almost over. It's probably the last month until next year to watch CE on your iPad on your outdoor patio. That's right, our CE is viewable on iPads and other portable devices! The past month we have had four excellent additions to our online CE roster on Dentaltown.com. Townie Meeting 2014 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 2014 series containing courses from Dr. Edward McLaren, Dr. John Nosti, Tim Lott, TownieTalks Keynote Speakers, and many more. More than 24 hours of excellent education in both clinical dentistry and practice management. All 2014 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 2015!) The 180 Degree Dental Journey: Part Six: Million Dollar Hygiene and Transitions by Michael Abernathy DDS The practice of hygiene is a science that will lead to increased proﬁtability and growth. Your staff and your hygienist, in particular, set the stage for successful case presentations, bonding with the practice and repeat business. This course will cover the scripts, actions and systems that make hygiene a proﬁt center rather than a loss leader for your practice. The second part of this course covers how a successful transition takes place in a growing practice. Information for the young dentist looking to join a practice as an associate or owner, as well as details for the experienced practice owner looking to either expand or sell the practice are covered thoroughly. Managing the Causes of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions by John J. Maggio, DDS What are those grooves some patients develop on the cervical aspects of some of their teeth? Are they caused by tooth brushing, occlusal forces, habits, acid erosion, or is it all of the above? In this course, Dr. John Maggio provides scientiﬁc evidence of what is currently known about this phenomenon. After discussing the etiologies, protocols are developed to ﬁnd and manage the causes for individual patients. Many cases are presented to directly apply information to the daily practice of dentistry. Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy, and Stainless Steel Crowns by Josh Wren, DMD Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns are procedures that are often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients. This course will alleviate any fear of the unknown that leads to this misconception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulptomy and pulpectomy will be discussed with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stainless steel crowns will also be discussed and procedural steps thoroughly explained and shown. If you are treating children in your practice, this course is a must! In addition to these excellent courses, I want to remind everyone that we now have, Dr. John Nosti's latest CE masterpiece... Anterior All Ceramics: From Case Selection to Cementation as well as Tack & Wave Veneer Cementation by Dr. David Hornbrook. One will not ﬁnd better cosmetic ceramic teaching anywhere than from these two cosmetic dentistry masters! Enjoy learning from the comfort of your home! ■ View more CE offerings on Dentaltown.com.
