The predictability and high success rates have been documented in the scientific literature for over 40 years. However, given the long history of dental implants as a viable treatment modality to edentulism, certain concepts in treatment planning can be confusing and conflicting.
The objective of this course is to address and clarify the essential concepts in removable implant prosthetic in treatment planning for these edentulous cases.

Dramatic advancements in both technology and the applications of these technologies are occurring at a pace so rapid that it is difficult for any practitioner to keep pace. There is not a single area of dentistry that has remained unaffected, to the point that what is being taught in dental schools across the country today (and not 5 or 10 years ago) does not at all resemble the world of possibilities that exist for practitioners.
This seminar aims to make sense of the newest dental technologies, and provide guidance to practitioners as to which technologies may or may not be applicable in their practices. The presentation is clinically based, providing sound strategies for selecting and implementing proper technologies, with the goals of improving patient care as well as the efficiency and bottom line of the practice.
Topics to be discussed include:
• Digital connections in dental practice
• Computers in the operatories and the
paperless practice.
• Patient education, charting and
treatment planning.
• Radiography
• Scheduling
• Internet applications
• Imaging
• Intraoral and extra oral photography
• Computerized imaging
• Cone-beam imaging technologies |
• Lasers in everyday dental practice
• CAD-CAM Dentistry
• Chairside
• Laboratory
• Metal-free dentistry
• Implant applications
• Diagnostic Technologies
• Implant software
• Diagnodent and caries detection
• Oral Cancer detection |

Credit Hours: 2 |

Dealing with client carriers is a common struggle for dental professional. ”I can’t afford it”, “Do I really need that?” “Does my insurance cover this?” “I don’t like to floss” are just a few examples of common push-backs we hear from our clients. Client compliance dramatically impacts the prevention of dental diseases, as well as the long term success of therapeutic, restorative and cosmetic procedures.
In addition to client barriers, dental professionals face their own personal and professional barriers. If these challenges are ignored dental professionals can experience burn out, practice stagnation and loss of creativity during client care. This course allows the attendees to emerge with a greater understanding of the science, psychology and solutions of client success, practice success and professional growth. An introduction to t he power of motivational interviewing will be included.
