Expand Your Practice and Save a Life
with Oral Cancer Examination Techniques
by Dr. Bob Convissar
One person every hour of every day dies of oral
or oropharyngeal cancer in the United States. The
fi ve-year survival rate for these cancers is worse than
breast cancer, colon cancer or leukemias. This course
discusses the causes and risk factors for these cancers,
a protocol for a complete oral cancer exam, and which
adjunctive devices are available on the market to help
with the examination.
Rapid Dentures: Predictable,
Effi cient and Profi table
by Dr. Joe Barker
This course covers all areas of denture construction
in detail, beginning with the initial oral exam through
the postinsertion. Dentists will learn how to make
dentures predictable, how to be effi cient and how to
increase profi ts from dentures.
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 mouth too
wide or too long. In this course,
Schiffman describes how to diagnose
and manage patients with pain-related TMD using
evidence-based methods. You'll be ready the next time
a patient complains of painful TMD during or after a
dental procedure.
Improving Your Confi dence and
Competence in Offi ce 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 fl aps, handpieces and hand instruments,
surgical extractions, splitting teeth, retrieving root tips,
and atraumatic extraction techniques.
Dental Sleep Medicine Implementation in
Practice: Why and If You Should Treat
by Dr. Mark Murphy
This course allows general practitioners to survey the
current landscape of medical and dental treatments for
sleep apnea and decide how and if they want to evolve
into this lifesaving arena. The discussion covers why
we should treat sleep apnea, including how oxygen is
often overlooked as an important nutrient. Basic sleep
physiology is explained in detail. The problems with
current therapies are detailed, as well as what to look
for in dental sleep appliances.
Fluorescence-Enhanced
Theragnosis in Cariology
by Dr. Liviu Steier
Caries diagnosis is still performed using a mixture
between visual and tactile approach. Bacterial presence
identifi cation is almost impossible according to this classic
approach. Minimally invasive treatment approaches are
still undervalued and underperformed as a consequence
of the limited information granted by the described
classic approach. This course introduces the concept of
fl uorescence-enhanced theragnosis in cariology. For a
limited time, there is no charge to view this CE course,
thanks to the sponsorship of Designs for Vision.
