continuing education update What's New in Continuing Education? For those of us in the United States, our Fourth of July holiday is now over and it's and time to (reluctantly) get back to work. Remember though, that our CE is viewable on iPads and other portable devices, so pour yourself a cold beverage, sit outside and learn! There have been new additions to Dentaltown's CE courses in the last couple of weeks: Clinical Assessment of Tack & Wave Veneer Cementation by David S. Hornbrook, DDS, FAACD One of the most stressful things we do in dentistry is the try-in and cementation of multiple veneers. There are huge expectations for ourselves and from our patients, including whether all the restorations will seat correctly, will they all match, or will there be any contamination or bleeding- all of which add to the stress. The last thing we need is for the actual cementation process, try-in, and veneer and tooth preparation protocol to bring more stress upon us. Dr. David Hornbrook has mentored thousands of clinicians throughout the world on correct utilization of veneer adhesive systems and has created an efficient and predictable technique for bonding in anterior restorations called the "Tack & Wave" technique. This protocol is currently being taught at most of the major teaching centers and most post-graduate university programs. Join Hornbrook as he discusses veneer try-in and selection of cements, adjustment of the ceramic during try-in, state-of-the-art adhesive systems, selection of cements, and proper finishing and polishing techniques. The use of the AMSA injection for obtaining anesthesia for maxillary anterior teeth without lip anesthesia for predictable evaluation of the new smile by the patient before cementation is also covered. by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education 22 JULY 2014 » dentaltown.com The 180-Degree Dental Journey: Part Five: Marketing Strategies by Michael Abernathy, DDS New patients are the fuel for success.

This course will give you "nothing but meat" to-do lists of hundreds of marketing strategies. Nothing will affect change like unlimited new patients and this module guarantees that you will have everything you need to become the master of successfully getting patients to call your office for appointments.
