Non-Invasive Facial Cosmetic
Procedures
CONSTANTINOS LASKARIDES, D.M.D., Pharm.D.
Assistant Professor and Course Director, Department of Oral
and Maxillofacial Surgery, Tufts University School of Dental
Medicine; Diplomate, American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery; Fellow, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgeons
Nowadays there is an astonishing increase in demand for non-
invasive facial cosmetic procedures. This presentation will cover
the most popular non-invasive facial cosmetic procedures like
chemical denervation (Botulinum Toxin), the use of resorbable
and semi-permanent fillers, treatment of facial scars, laser facial
skin rejuvenation and facial chemical peels in all aspects.
Mechanism of action, relative anatomy, patient selection,
treatment planning, modality selection, detailed technique
description, risks and complications (including their management)
will be thoroughly discussed.
At the end of the presentation there will be a live demonstration
of Botulinum Toxin application. The participants will be able to
observe live patient evaluation, reconstitution of the solution to
appropriate concentration, choice of appropriate instrumentation
and disposables, pain management, area mapping and disinfection,
injections and review of post-operative instructions.
After the course the participant should be able to:
• Understand the mechanism of action, relative anatomic
considerations and physics of the various methods
discussed.
• Be able to apply proper patient selection and technique
selection to optimize cosmetic results.
• Comprehend the multiple particularities and details
that pertain to each facial cosmetic procedure.
• Be able to discuss the full range of risks and
complications that are related with each technique.
• For the live demonstration: Appreciate all the details
relevant to preparation and execution of chemical
denervation with Botulinum Toxin as well as pre-
operative and post-operative essentials.

Occupational Respiratory Infectious
Diseases, Allergic Patients and Dental Care
Providers
JOHN A. MOLINARI, Ph.D.
Former Professor and Chairman, Department of Biomedical Sciences,
Univeristy of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry; Served as Chairman,
State of Michigan, Governor’s Risk Reduction and AIDS Policy
Commission
The morning portion of this course will cover occupational respiratory
infectious diseases: aerosols, spatter, and precautions.
Airborne infections continue to be among the common reported
transmissible diseases. The spread of microbial pathogens by
droplets, aerosols, and spatter during provision of patient care
have also historically presented occupational risks for health care
professionals. While routine use of recommended precautions has
been shown to be effective in reducing exposure to known respiratory
infections, discovery and emergence of other airborne pathogens
require continued assessment of cross-infection risks and infection
control measures. This seminar considers representative viral and
bacterial respiratory diseases, including as examples: influenza,
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), swine flu, tuberculosis,
and bacterial pneumonia. In addition, information pertaining to the
emerging epidemiology, transmission patterns, and virology of avian
influenza is featured. Respiratory infections are discussed using
microbial characteristics, person-to-person cross-infection risks,
epidemiological patterns, disease impact, and health care provider
occupational hazards. The use of appropriate precautions against
respiratory pathogens is also evaluated in the context of emerging
disease challenges and recommended protective approaches.
The afternoon portion of this course will cover allergic patients and
dental care providers: practice implications.
Upon completion of this course, the participant should understand
that virtually every chemical, drug and dental material employed
in the dental office has been known to induce allergic reactions in
both clinical personnel and patients that certain allergic reactions
are directly observable in the oro-facial tissues and that practitioners
will be treating patients who may suffer from allergic conditions.
The clinician should be prepared for the potential hazards these
individuals present during dental treatment. Comprehension of
the classes of hypersensitive reactions, clinical manifestations, and
principles associated with development and treatment of allergies are
thus required for the effective management of patients. Discussion
will also include immunological mechanisms and manifestations of
allergic reactions associated with latex products, as well as evolving
prevention strategies.
This course will consider the multi-faceted aspects of clinical
hypersensitivity reactions, and the participants should be able to apply
the principles discussed to clinical situations and patient histories
encountered.

Practical Update in Pediatric Dentistry

MICHAEL A. IGNELZI, JR., D.D.S., Ph.D.

Board Certified, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and American Board of Orthodontics; Adjunct Associate
Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; Private Practice,
Greensboro, NC; Fellow, American College of Dentists; Former Associate Professor, Department of Orthodontics
and Pediatric Dentistry, University of Michigan

This entertaining and informative course features timely and practical information for any practice that treats
children. We review the latest on pulp therapy for primary and young permanent teeth, prevention, tooth colored
restorative materials, and the infant and toddler visit. We provide you with practical information, that is based on
sound science, so that you can provide the best care to your patients. Audience participation will be encouraged.

Much has changed in recent years regarding pulp therapy for primary and young permanent teeth. We will
review the latest on the indications, techniques and materials used in indirect pulp capping, pulpotomies, and
pulpectomies.

Prevention is the cornerstone of what we do as professionals. Come hear the latest on the bacteria that cause caries,
the protective role of saliva, chemotherapeutic agents, the consumer products that prevent enamel demineralization
and promote enamel remineralization, sealants, fluoride, and sugar substitutes including xylitol.

Tooth colored dental materials including glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass ionomer cements
(compomer), and composites have revolutionized restorative care for children. We review the advantages and
disadvantages and indications for each material so you can select the best material for any clinical situation.

Caries risk assessment has practical implications for how we treat children because it influences how frequently we
take radiographs, what restorative materials we use, and how aggressively we use preventive agents like fluoride
and sealants. We review recent trends in caries risk assessment so that you can use this information on a daily basis.

The infant and toddler visit is a wonderful opportunity to detect early caries, educate parents about good oral
hygiene and healthy feeding practices, and establish a dental home. More infants and toddlers will seek dental
care because the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently recommended that all children receive an oral
risk assessment at 6 months of age. From a practice management perspective, it is wise to offer a service that
is recommended by pediatricians and parenting magazines and requested by parents. We discuss the benefits
of the infant and toddler visit and use videotapes to demonstrate a simple method to achieve a comprehensive
examination.

Objectives:
At the end of the course you will be able to:
1. Manage primary and permanent teeth that require pulp therapy
2. Utilize the most effective methods to prevent disease
3. Select the most appropriate tooth colored restorative material for any clinical situation
4. Incorporate contemporary caries risk assessment into your practice
5. Discuss the benefits of the infant and toddler visit and complete a thorough infant and toddler exam

The Answers to Your Dental Patient Care
Concerns and Questions:
Common Sense Clinical Approaches for
a More Efficacious Dental Practice
PAUL J. VANKEVICH, D.M.D.
Assistant Professor, Department of General Dentistry, Tufts
University School of Dental Medicine; Diplomate, American Board
of Oral Medicine; Fellow, Academy of General Dentistry
Dentistry is a dynamic profession with a daily evolution of new
materials, methods and strategies in the provision of healthcare to
patients. With so much new information, the modern dental practice
can suffer from information overload and struggle to keep current
with new techniques, procedures, trends and regulations.
The goal of dentistry is to treat and prevent those diseases and
disabilities, which affect the teeth and oral structures, by preventing and
eliminating infection and trauma. This audience interactive one day
course will review and update the current concepts, controversies
and challenges regarding the principles of oral diagnosis, oral
medicine, applied dental disease risk management, preventive
dentistry and oral health promotions, as applied in patient care.
Specific topics covered include, iatrogenic dentistry, litigation
prevention, access to care, evidence-based dentistry, dental patient
communication, internet misinformation, assessment and application
of innovations and technology, sedation dentistry, conservative
dental caries management, body modification and oral piercing, oral
health-systemic health interrelationships (diabetes, obesity), alcohol
and substance abuse (patient and provider), tobacco control, safety
and efficacy of dentifrices and mouth washes, special needs patients.
Methods and strategies of mechanical and chemical oral hygiene,
fluoride therapy, pit and fissure resin sealants, dietary counseling
and oro-facial trauma prevention and patient-specific alterations in
various dental treatment procedures, methods and medications will
be discussed.
This day course will be interactive using the Classroom Audience
Response System. Test your clinical knowledge and diagnostic
acumen in a benign and anonymous format. Participants are asked
to relate some of their more perplexing patient presentations for
group cogitation, analysis diagnosis and suggested methods of
management. This course will facilitate the role of each member of
the dental healthcare team.
Are there questions that you or the members of your dental teams
have? Let Dr. Vankevich answer them:
• What is the Standard of Care?
• What is risk management and how do I use it in my
practice?
• What’s new in dentistry? Is new better than old? Where’s
the evidence? What about new product safety and
efficacy?
• What is that oral lesion? How do I treat it? What next?
• The patient has what medical condition? How will I alter
my dental treatment plan when providing care?
• Iatrogenic what? You mean that undesirable outcome
could have been prevented?

The Triad Approach to Diagnosis
and Treatment of TM Disorders:
The Missing Link
HAROLD GELB, D.M.D., P.C.
Adjunct Clinical Professor, Tufts University School of Dental
Medicine; Founder, Gelb Cranio-Mandibular Pain Center,
Tufts University School of Dental Medicine; Diplomate,

DAVID KLEIN, D.C.
Private Chiropractic Practice, New York, NY
The data acquired concerning the functional and
structural relationship between the three components
of the stomatognathic apparatus, namely, the jaws, the
temporomadibular joints and the muscles, should encourage
the clinician to complete a careful examination of each
one with all the diagnostic aids presently available to both
the generalist and specialist. If this is done, the so-called
asymptomatic case frequently shows, at the sub clinical level,
signs of dysfunction or even an early manifestation of the
disorder. These should not be overlooked, and the treatment
plan should take them into consideration. This is especially
noteworthy because most of the relevant symptoms do not
as a rule direct the patient to the dentist as the primary health
professional. Several scientific studies at two major dental
schools support the procedures that will be shown.
The International Headache Society has allocated two of
thirteen headache types to the dentist. One is the Tension Type
Headache; the other is the headache or facial pain associated
with a disorder of the cranium, neck, eyes, ears, nose, sinuses,
teeth, mouth or other facial or cranial structures. Headaches
break down into three major categories: 2% are traction
and inflammatory, 8% are vascular and 90% are muscle
contraction-tension type headaches, which the dentist can help.
There are a total of 50 million headache sufferers.
Taking a thorough medical, dental and craniomandibular
history coupled with a comprehensive clinical examination will
still prove to be the most effective approach to diagnosing the
patient’s condition.

Throughout the course of their everyday practice, dental
professionals must frequently draw upon their knowledge of
pharmacology. Recently introduced competency-based curriculums
have demonstrated that tasks ranging from the routine, such as
obtaining a complete patient medical history and appointment
planning, to the extreme, such as handling a medical emergency in
the office, all require a foundation knowledge in pharmacology.
However, the science of pharmacology consistently represents
only a small portion of most dental degree programs. Armed with
a relatively brief exposure to such vast subject matter, many dental
professionals have difficulty retaining this knowledge throughout
their career. Staying current with new pharmacotherapeutic trends
is especially difficult in the present marketplace, which is awash in
direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs and which has
experienced an explosion of new drug entities over the last several
years.
The purpose of this program is to provide dental professionals with
an overview of the basic principles of pharmacology and the classes
of drugs used in the current therapy of most common disease states.
Throughout the program, special emphasis will be given to drugs
administered or prescribed in dental practice, as well as to drugs
whose actions, side effects, or interactions with other drugs may
impact dental healthcare.

Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this program,
participants will be able to:
• Identify references and sources of drug information to be used in
practice
• Explain basic pharmacokinetics and describe how pharmacokinetics
and related factors affect a drug’s ability to produce a therapeutic
effect
• Review the etiology of common organ system disease states,
describe the classes of drugs used in their treatment, and discuss
considerations important to patient management
• Identify drugs listed on a patient’s medical history and be able to:
• Classify them according to their pharmacologic class
• Identify their basic mechanism of action, pharmacologic
effects, principle therapeutic indications, potential
adverse reactions, potential drug interactions and specific
contraindications
• Discuss and compare the classes of drugs used in dentistry for:
• Local anesthesia and pain management
• Prophylaxis and treatment of infection
• Treatment of oral conditions
• Identify popular herbal and nutritional supplements and their uses
and discuss their potential impact on dental treatment and patient
management

This course will provide participants with a maximum
“hands-on” experience. The course is designed to provide the
dentist with all the principles of hard and soft tissue surgery
necessary to plan and carry out crown extension procedures.
The instructors will cover indications, contraindications, and
methods of managing surrounding bone.
Topics to be covered include: how to handle hard and soft
tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics
and final tissue contours; including the relocation of all
structures that comprise the biologic width, such as: sulcus,
junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone.
The “hands-on” experience includes flap surgery with pig
jaws, plus bone surgery and suturing techniques on anatomical
models under close supervision of experienced periodontists.
It is coupled with a video demonstration of the surgical
technique and a detailed slide presentation.
Crown extension is one of the most commonly required
procedures in operative dentistry. Relocation of the structures
comprising the biologic width requires varying degrees of soft
and hard tissue removal. Dentists who want to do some or most
of their own crown extensions, or those who just want to know
more about the subject, will benefit from this course.
Learning objectives:
• Diagnosing esthetic crown lengthening
• When to perform crown lengthening and when to extract
• Post-operative management
• Understanding and treating the gummy smile
• Making predictable impressions every time
• Learn why crowns come loose and how to prevent
loosening
• Save chair time and be more profitable
• Understand causes of red gum tissue around crown
margins
• Coordinate surgery with restorative procedures
This is a stand-alone course that will allow you to do many
of your own crown lengthening cases. If you choose not to
do your cases, it will help you understand the principles.
Most important, you do not need to have taken previous
perio courses or have surgical experience to benefit from
this workshop. Course materials and a take home model are
included in this fee.

Interdisciplinary Treatment with Special
Emphasis on Orthodontics and Periodontics

ROBERT L. VANARSDALL, D.D.S.

Professor of Orthodontics and Chairman of the Department of Orthodontics, University of Pennsylvania,
School of Dental Medicine; Member, the American Association of Orthodontists, the Middle Atlantic Society of
Orthodontists; Past President, Eastern Component of the E.H. Angle Society of Orthodontics

Evaluation of periodontal risk and susceptibility will improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. The
morning session will highlight new material relating to the response of the periodontium to different
orthodontic treatment philosophies. Orthodontics should be accepted as a preventive service since recent
findings have shown that tooth movement alone can reduce pathologic levels of periodontal pathogens.
Skeletal relationships clearly identify patients who are more susceptible to periodontal breakdown, exhibit
unstable dental camouflage and lead to less than optimal dentofacial esthetics. A prognosticator that has
been under-appreciated is the transverse skeletal discrepancy. This factor is a reliable predicator of increased
risk of gingival recession. The evolution of multidisciplinary treatment over the past 35 to 40 years will be
discussed and how orthodontics has been used to reformat the periodontium. New studies will be reviewed
that report the first data on skeletal effect of lip bumper therapy on the transverse dimension. Though
early treatment is ideal to correct skeletal problems in three planes of space guidelines will be reviewed for
adolescents as well as adults requiring interdisciplinary treatment.

The afternoon session will include an update on ectopically positioned teeth and ankylosis. This review will
involve all teeth in both the maxillary and mandible.

In most dental occlusal concepts the primary difference is one of condylar versus muscular positions. This is consistent
with the textbook images of saggital condylar positions or the diamond shapes of the lateral excursive movements
according to Posselt. However, these concepts do not take into account the three dimensional structures of the craniofacial
skeleton due to the relative difficulty of many dentists in visualizing how the muscles, TM Joints and the teeth all
function in harmony. Risk indicators of occlusal disharmony include parafunction , trauma, posture, sleep architrecture ,
psychological and neurologic inputs to the neuromuscular pathways. Understanding these variables reduces the risk of a
adverse outcome and requires an evidenced based logical and systematic approach to cosmetic/restorative cases that will
result in successful functional as well as Oral Health Related Quality of Life end points. Finally, management of patient
with Temporomandibular and Cranio- Cervical dysfunctions often require the use of intra-oral appliance therapy. Studies
however have reported variable results. Historical perspective suggests that different appliances and different mandibular
positions be needed for different types of disorders and that the “one for all” appliance may not be an effective strategy to
persue. These three world renowned lecturers will bring you their unique clinical experiences to help blend the concepts of
esthetics, function and dysfunction into your everyday treatment regimen.

The course will cover:

• Review of the evidence on occlusal concepts currently in vogue
o CR, CO and neuromuscular occlusion as it relates to the three dimensional concepts of
biologic function , when and how to choose
o Biologic principles of dental occlusion
• Role of parafunction and sleep disorders on the longevity of dental stability
• Risk indicators of TMD that “call out to you” from your patients mouth before beginning any dental
treatment
• How and why dental changes can affect the head and neck stability of an individual
• Merging Esthetics and Function for long term stability and health, how, when and why to use occlusal
splints in the development of a stable occlusion regardless of whether the patient has TMD

Hands-on component will cover:

• A step by step guide to three dimensional examination of the occlusion
• Hands on record taking for transfer from the mouth to the articulator that accurately records the position
you have chosen
• Splint fabrication

Risk Management:
Record Keeping and Informed Consent
BARRY REGAN
Claims Manager, Eastern Dentists Insurance Company,
Westborough, MA
Most practitioners believe the worst thing that can happen to
them is to be sued for professional malpractice. It is not. It is
much worse to be sued for malpractice, render treatment that does
not fall below the standard of care, and still lose the suit. How
can this happen? There are several ways, including failing to
give proper informed consent to a patient. Attorneys are using
informed consent counts to get patients a verdict in otherwise
defendable cases. A dentist may be found not negligent on a
standard of care count in a lawsuit, but negligent on an informed
consent count, and the jury will award a potentially large verdict
against a defendant dentist.
A second way in which a dentist can lose a lawsuit while
rendering treatment that does not fall below the standard of care
is by failing to properly document a patient’s record in such a way
as to defend or clarify the decision making process a dentist goes
through in difficult treatment diagnosis situations. Allegations of
misdiagnosis or treatment on the wrong tooth are impossible to
defend if all testing results are not recorded in the patient’s record.
Attendees of this seminar will learn:
• What constitutes proper informed consent
• How to give proper informed consent to a patient
• How to document your informed consent procedure
in such a manner as to give your defense counsel the
ammunition he/she needs to properly defend your case
to a satisfactory outcome
The instructor will also cover the importance of proper record
keeping and give valuable tips. All attendees will receive sample
consent forms that they may incorporate into their practice.

The Art and Science of CAMBRA:
A Team Approach Using Chemical Treatments
and Minimally Invasive Dentistry

DOUGLAS A. YOUNG, D.D.S., M.S., M.B.A.

Associate Professor, University of the Pacific, San Francisco, CA
Dr. Young speaks on minimal invasive dentistry, lasers, and cariology. He has been published in several peer-
reviewed dental journals and textbooks.

This course is of specific interest to all members of the dental team. Learn how to prevent and even reverse early
lesions using oral disinfectants, modified sugars, fluoride, and new salivary diagnostics and replacement therapies,
rather than traditional surgical techniques. Dr. Young will also present research showing that not all caries should
be treated alike and the site-specific way to manage each carious site will be presented. The latest caries detection,
and glass ionomer sealant methodologies will be reviewed as well and strategies on how they are used in practice.
Learn how important the hygiene department and dental assisting staff are to this new paradigm.

Caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) is taught at all of the 5 California dental schools as well as
most schools across the US. It is considered my many as the current standard of caries management. In fact, the
“First Smiles” program is a 4-year $7 million grant to educate 47,000 dental professionals and over 9,000 medical
professionals in California about this approach to caries prevention and treatment. Dental hygiene must be willing
and able to accept these referrals from our colleagues, if not for the sole purpose of providing the best care possible
for our patients.

Outcomes: After this presentation you will:

1) Understand CAMBRA, the newest areas of prevention and early caries management using chemical and
microsurgical approaches
2) Be able to put what you have learned into practice
3) Understand why the whole dental team must participate
4) Be aware of opportunities to collaborate with other existing CAMBRA organizations

Learning Objectives:
• The course will outline current strategies which use critical thinking and an evidenced-based decision
method in managing the disease of dental caries.
• The participant will leave with practical tools needed to treat and prevent the disease of caries using a
caries risk assessment and intervention protocols based on individual risk.
• The participant shall have a better understanding of the disease process as well as the science behind
products and behaviors that will arrest, reverse, and prevent future disease.
• Websites will be presented where participants can keep up to date with current science on caries
management by risk assessment (CAMBRA). Participants will learn how to code and evaluate services
and products used in CAMBRA to enable continuous learning and improvement.
