Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp
Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns
by Dr. Josh Wren
With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental
coverage for those 19 and younger, more than three
million pediatric patients will be added to 150,000 dental
practices. Treating children may become a necessity for
your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns
are procedures 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, pulpotomy and pulpectomy are discussed,
with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stainless steel
crowns are also discussed, with procedural steps explained
and shown. The course also discusses Wren's process for
using nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and local
anesthesia to achieve painless injections.

Buying a Dental Practice:
There Is More to It Than Price
(Recorded live at Townie Meeting 2014)
by Tim Lott

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics
by Dr. Lane Ochi

This presentation is designed to educate prospective
buyers about how to approach the financial "due diligence"
of buying a dental practice. You'll learn which information
to look at, how to piece it together and how to analyze
it to formulate an offer. You'll also learn other aspects
of the purchase process, so you'll be prepared when you
locate a practice you want to buy.

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.

We also have Dr. Howard Farran's One Day Dental
MBA. Dr. Farran shares his proven techniques to increase
your productivity, boost your bottom line and build your
business. Don't miss his live and unfiltered insights on
dentistry and business, along with an insider's view of
his dental practice.
Enjoy learning from the comfort of your home! ■
