Mastering Adult Minimal Oral Sedation
by Drs. Mark Donaldson
and Jason Goodchild

Intercepting Sleep-Disordered Breathing:
The Integral Role of Dental Professionals
by Dr. Ben Miraglia

Minimal adult sedation instruction is now available
online, exclusively on Dentaltown. This 10-part dental
CE series meets all state and provincial requirements
for topics and hours to apply for a minimal sedation
permit or recertification. Offering a total of 19.5 CE
hours, this series was specifically designed to meet the
guidelines of the ADA as described in its Guidelines for
the Use of Sedation and General Anesthesia by Dentists.

This course is a call to action for all dental professionals who are dedicated to preventing sleep-disordered
breathing rather than wait to treat the devastating
effects it imposes, such as ADHD, bed wetting, asthma,
cardiovascular disease, lower IQ and depression.

Injection Molding:
Engineering Composite Success
by Dr. Arthur Volker
The injection-molding technique's composites and
ultrathin anatomic tooth forms creates porcelainlike
outcomes at a lower physiological cost. These monolithic
restorations can endure and sparkle for decades. The
CE course goes in detail on how to use this technique.

How To Ensure the Highest Success Rate
for Your Implant Cases
by Dr. Michael Wehrle
This CE course is designed to increase the success
rate of implant cases by laying out a simplified protocol
for placing immediate implants, ridge splits and sinus
bumps, as well as the ideal restorative option: screwmentable crowns.

Rapid Dentures: Predictable,
Efficient, Profitable
by Dr. Joe Barker
For years, dentures have taken too
much chair time with very little predictability or profitability. This course
covers all areas of denture construction
in detail, beginning with the initial
oral exam through the post insertion.
Dentists will learn how to make dentures
predictable, how to be efficient and how
to increase profits from dentures.

The Role of Evidence To Inform
Decisions in Practice: Why Bother
with Evidence-Based Dentistry?
by Dr. Romina Brignardello-Petersen
This course defines " evidence " and why it's important
when making clinical decisions, the principles of
evidence-based dental practice and their rationale, how
to interpret the results from studies, and how to avoid
being misled by study authors. The course also describes
other resources to learn more about these concepts.

Improving Your Confidence and Competence
in Office Oral Surgery: Atraumatic Surgical
Extractions, Flaps, and Splitting Teeth
by Dr. Jay B. Reznick
This presentation covers important oral surgery
topics for general dentists, including managing patients
on anticoagulants, antibiotic prophylaxis, design and
use of surgical f laps, handpieces and hand instruments,
surgical extractions, splitting teeth, retrieving root tips,
and atraumatic extraction techniques.

Managing TMD:
What Dentists Should Know
by Dr. Eric Schiffman
Trauma is the most common cause of pain-related
temporomandibular disorders (TMD). More than half
of trauma cases (61%) result from patients opening their
mouths too wide or too long. In this course, Schiffman
describes how to diagnose and manage your patients
with pain-related TMD using evidence-based methods.
You will be ready the next time your patient complains
of painful TMD during or after a dental procedure.
