Hidden Pearls in Practice
2019-05-03 08:30 - 16:00 | Central Hotel/ Best Western, 800 E. Park Drive, Harrisburg, PA, United States
COURSE DESCRIPTION
One of the greatest challenges a general practitioner faces, is how to have the time, resources and training to solve complex dental problems within their own practice. Yet, more and more, patients would rather not be referred out to have their dental needs met. Additionally for a general practice to meet its full potential the execution of more complex treatment is a must. Dr. Cranham will present the Dawson protocols to solve a myriad of complex dental problems with special emphasis on evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of the worn dentition, as well as looking at the terminal dentition when the “all on four/five” implant solution is the best option.

You will learn:

How dentistry is changing, and why having a “usual and customary” practice can actually put you at risk.
How to position your practice to take it to its full potential, and why this could actually be the best time EVER to be a restorative dentist.
Why tooth wear becomes harder and harder to fix, the longer it goes on.
How to diagnose the specific cause of wear, along with the specific protocol to solve the problem.
How to treatment plan the terminal dentition for an “all on four/five” solution, and how to know if you should be doing a hybrid, or a full arch zirconia restoration.
How to choose the best material/porcelain system for the esthetic outcome you desire.
Communication skills to help increase case acceptance for more complex cases.

“Patient, Clinician and Practice Benefits of Hard and Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry”
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Lasers have been a part of the dental armamentarium for over a quarter of a century.

It will give the dentist the information needed to make a financially and clinically sound decision regarding implementing lasers into their practice. All major dental laser wavelengths will be presented and the advantages and disadvantages of each will be discussed. Clinical cases will be presented to show the role of lasers in every discipline of dentistry.
Learning Objectives:

Discuss the basic science behind lasers and tissue interactions; distinguish between the many dental laser wavelengths and their advantages and limitations.
Recognize the laser’s role in minimally invasive dentistry and identify laser procedures across all dental disciplines.
