Dental Implants: Tips and Tricks
by Dr. Cory Glenn
Dental implants are a reliable option to
replace missing teeth, but at times can seem
unnecessarily complex and cost-prohibitive.
By utilizing some simple techniques such as
model-based guides, and learning basic implant
lab work, clinicians can make many cases more
predictable and profitable.

Pediatric Dentistry:
Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy
and Stainless Steel Crowns
by Dr. Josh Wren
When the Affordable Care Act mandated
dental coverage as an essential health care benefit
for those 19 and younger, millions of pediatric
patients were added to 150,000 dental practices.
Treating children likely became a necessity for

your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless
steel crowns 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,
pulpotomy and pulpectomy are discussed,
with emphasis on diagnosis and technique.
The procedural steps for stainless steel crowns
are explained and shown, as well as Wren's
process for using nitrous oxide, appropriate
topical anesthesia and local anesthesia.

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.

Composite Full-Mouth
Rehabilitations
the "dkdocterry" Way
by Dr. Terry Shaw
For the past 25 years, Shaw
has been doing composite bridges with excellent
success. Bridges provide a great solution for
post-ortho missing anterior teeth until the
patient is old enough for an implant, seniors on
a limited budget, or a fast solution for someone
waiting for bone healing and remodeling before
more definitive treatment.
