A 21st Century Plague Called Metabolic Syndrome
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Patients are experiencing more health issues due to the populations increase in blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. This two-hour course will discuss the issues our patients face with medications and their bodies. It will also concentrate on the dangers to the oral health when faced with high levels of inflammation brought on by this syndrome. reatment planning will be emphasized to allow for the execution of harmonized and collaborative treatment. The need for proper communication between the surgical and prosthetic teams will be emphasized and the benefits of current innovations in facilitating this communication will be showcased. New innovations and technology truly benefit communication with our colleagues, staff, and patients. I’ll show you how!

Warning: Graphic Photographs Ahead
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
While the rest of the world may quiver with churned stomachs, one of the best traits of a dental professional is their excitement and joy around graphic oral diseased cases. Despite the oftentimes ‘colourful’ nature of the oral disease, these cases offer an incredible learning opportunity, particularly in the importance of early and definitive intervention. Join Katrina M Sanders, RDH, BSDH, M.Ed, RF for a dental rendition of ‘Dr Pimple Popper’ as she presents graphic photographs of surgical cases requiring periodontal therapy. This will be your final warning: there WILL be graphic photos ahead!

The Magic of Prevention
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Caries infection has increased in young adult populations and continues to be a major disease for children. This course discusses the impact of Nano Technology on today’s preventative and restorative materials. Attenders will have a “hands-on forum” to provide their dental teams with new skills on today’s desensitizers, sealants, and fluoride treatments to combat the patient’s current symptoms and prevention of future issues.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
- Gain an understanding of new research findings that can contribute to the evidence for the application of
varnish with chemotherapeutic fluoride treatment. - Understand the findings of recent research exploring how dental practitioners are using scientific evidence in their patient treatment decisions and patient counselling.
- Learn methods of applying Xylitol containing based fluoride treatments and Nano Hybrid Sealants and their effectiveness on today’s patients.
- Understand the correct CDT coding procedure for hygiene procedures and review the “current changes” to desensitizing and ‘home use” fluoridation treatments.

In the Dental Implant Era - Why we bother saving teeth?
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Perio-prosthetic implant treatment plan is gaining popularity with high perceived survival and success rates. Replacing a tooth with an implant is usually based on tooth prognosis evaluation and its comparison to the anticipated long-term implant survival. Different approaches for determining tooth prognosis were described in the literature. Over the past decade, the use of osseointegrated implants as a foundation for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth has become widespread. However, there is an increasing trend toward replacing diseased teeth with dental implants. In dental trauma patients, it seems that a lot of efforts are sometimes needed to save or preserve a tooth and it is tempting to turn to implant placement. This lecture will provide a re-evaluation of our paradigms, beliefs and knowledge regarding both tooth prognosis evaluation and long-term implant success according to the currently available knowledge. We, as dental professionals, should avoid basing our treatment planning on thoughts and beliefs and stick as much as possible to evidence based practice.
