Come with those questions that keep you awake at night: Location, what location?; Buy or start from scratch, associate or go it alone, corporations, overhead, staffing, accounting, marketing. The list is long and limited only by one’s creative imagination. The format will be: following a light lunch, New and Younger Members will spend six (6) minutes at each table in conversation with those who really know. It will be quiet. It will be intense. It will be the perfect opportunity for one to ask those questions that one always wanted to ask in an intimate, non-judgmental format. Up to twenty short “dates” will be available to each member. Not only do we welcome novel feedback, but we encourage it! At the time of this writing, the all-star lineup is yet to be confirmed, but for sure there will be experts on hand from across the country representing a variety of practice formats.

Tooth Auto-transplantation for the Challenging Orthodontic Patient 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm | 3:45 pm – 5:00 pm YOU’LL LEARN: The Benefits of tooth auto-transplantation in your complex cases.

Orthodontists are often faced with treatment planning dilemmas for patients presenting with complex impacted, congenitally missing, and traumatized teeth. Traditional treatment options are usually limited for these patients with attempts at extraction of teeth, space closure or space appropriation for a future dental implant. The value of a natural tooth to maintain and develop the supporting bone and gingival tissues is well accepted. From this perspective, the presentation will discuss various protocols for these clinical situations with a focus on tooth autotransplantation aimed at natural tooth replacement and alveolar ridge management.

Improving Oral Hygiene for our Patients: The Impact of Poor Oral Hygiene on the General Practice and Tools that Empower Our Patients to Change! 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm Hygiene appointments can be stressful and leave a negative impact for the patient with persistent poor oral hygiene. It’s a well-known fact amongst the dental team that repeatedly telling these patients what to do to see improvements seldom works. What if we take it up a notch? Research has helped us to understand what is required to better engage and communicate with these patients. Coupled with a home care plan, these tools can provide patients an opportunity to break this cycle for good!

Join me for a motivating session! Plus, all in attendance will receive a Powerbrush!

And what about our ‘star hygiene patients’ that end up with recession/pitting and damage from acid erosion? The program can help with these patients too! With a standardized check-up, consistent reporting, home therapy kit and countless other advantages, these tools can help ease many of the oral hygiene challenges we’re faced with every day to help give our patients the highest level of care.

TOUR 2 THUR, SEPT. 24

Kettle Valley Cycling Tour The Kettle Valley Railroad, opened in 1915, was a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific Railway that operated in the Thompson-Okanagan region BC. The railway was abandoned in portions beginning in 1961, with the final segment falling into disuse in 1989. Much of the railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original route has been converted to a multi-use recreational trail, known as the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, which carries the Trans-Canada Trail through this part of BC. Today guests will be met in the hotel lobby to depart by shuttle for the Myra Canyon Trailhead where you will be provided with a bike that has been fitted based on your height, in advance. Water and snacks are provided for the ride. On the trail, after a short safety lesson and historical interpretation of the area, the guide will lead the group on a 20 km flat cycle, viewing all 18 trestles and two tunnels. The vistas from 4,000 feet, overlooking the Okanagan Valley are second-to-none. A beautiful place to stop for lunch and enjoy some local cider after your morning on the trestles. Soma Craft Cidery is a working alpaca farm, orchard and cidery with a restaurant to enjoy the tranquility of East Kelowna.
