continuing education update Continued from p. 18 Busting the Myths of Occlusion...Practical Concepts for Everyday Dentistry by Dr. Barry Glassman Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns by Dr. Josh Wren This two-hour course clarifies many of the common myths of occlusion and provides the ability to implement the reality-based concepts to improve one's ability to help each and every patient. Basic TMD concepts are reviewed to help end much of the confusion associated with the term "TMD." This is the occlusion course that gives useful, commonsense advice. 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 often considered complex-this course will alleviate 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 Dr. Wren's process for using nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and local anesthesia to achieve painless injections. Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics by Dr. Lane Ochi A masterpiece! 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. Understanding Occlusion by Dr. John Nosti Occlusion remains one of the most confusing topics in dentistry today, because of seemingly different opinions on the importance of dictating restorative positions on every patient. Dr. Nosti defines occlusion, simplifies common terminology and reviews when restorative positions should or shouldn't be used. If you've ever been confused by centric relation, centric occlusion and maximum intercuspation, or if you've wanted to learn a predictable way to take a centric relation bite registration or an increased vertical bite registration, this course is for you.
