RESTORATIVE ENDODONTICS
Restorative Endodontics (RE) is based on minimally invasive root canal
preparations and bioceramic bonded obturation that enhance the
long term biomechanical success of the endodontically treated tooth.
RE is based on a biologic approach that emphasizes debridement and
disinfection rather than shaping for obturation. This Real World Endo
presentation is highly practical and describes numerous facets of clinical endodontics, utilizing a "case based learning approach." Premolar
and molar clinical cases are discussed in detail to demonstrate both
the basic and advanced instrumentation and obturation techniques,
as well as some technique variations to handle more challenging cases.
Learn:
* the scientific concepts for success by incorporating a few new
simple steps during clinical care
* how to properly use the ESX® NiTi rotary file and instrumentation
system
* insight into the use of the new bioceramic materials in both
surgical and non-surgical endodontic care

THREE ESSENTIAL SKILLS OF DENTAL PRACTICE LEADERSHIP
The process of developing an extraordinary dental team is greatly
enhanced by implementing three specific leadership skills that have
their foundation in modern neuroscience. When intentionally applied,
these skills are eﬃcient and eﬀective, and are essential aspects of
communication in today's busy dental practices. In addition, they
help to reduce the negative impact of the "emotional dynamics" that
are inherent in all complex human systems such as dental practices.
Learn:
* the emotional process of leadership
* the basic neuroscience underlying practice leadership
* to identify two situations in which employing one of the three
skills of Practice Leadership would be beneficial

SECRETS OF SLEEP APNEA SUCCESS!

TMJ PATIENTS ARE ALL NUTS, RIGHT? WRONG!

The diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
has exploded! Dentists are uniquely placed as primary care clinicians to be instrumental in the screening, referral and treatment of
patients with sleep apnea and snoring problems as part of a medical/
dental team. Oral appliance therapy has become a first line therapy
for many patients, and is often the only viable hope for patients
who have given up on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
therapy. This seminar gives the attendee the background and tools
they need to literally save the lives of patients with obstructive sleep
apnea.

Craniofacial pain and TMJ disorders are often confusing and diﬃcult
to accurately diagnose and treat. This seminar provides the attendee
with the background and knowledge to diﬀerentially diagnose and
treat the most common craniofacial pain and TM disorders encountered in the dental practice. Included in the program is a head and
neck anatomy review, principles of examination, imaging techniques,
diﬀerential diagnosis and basic treatment protocols. When correctly
diagnosed, all of these disorders tend to respond very well to early
treatment. When ignored or misdiagnosed, these relatively simple
problems may quickly become chronic and complex pain disorders.

Learn:
* the basics of normal sleep and sleep disordered breathing
* to screen patients for possible sleep disorders
* to work as part of the medical/dental team in the treatment of
patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring

Learn:
* a thorough review of craniofacial anatomy
* examination and imaging techniques used in the diagnosis of
craniofacial pain and TM disorders
* to diﬀerentially diagnose and treat cases of capsulitis, trismus and
non-reducing disc displacement
