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
For years, dentures have taken too much chair time
with little predictability or profi tability. 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 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.
Creating a Remarkable Dental Practice:
Communication and the Patient
Experience
by Fred Joyal
Effective communication has a profound effect on the
success of the practice, as does the moment-by-moment
experience of the patient. This course goes into the most
effective ways to communicate with patients and your
team, and how you can use small changes in the details
of the patient experience to get big results. For a limited
time, there's no charge to view this CE course thanks
to the sponsorship of Rectangle Health.
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.
