Medical emergencies occurring in the dental o ce can be stressful and frightening – not only for the patient, but also for the entire dental team. This course is designed for dentists and sta to develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems including syncope, allergic problems, cardiovascular abnormalities and respiratory distress. Emphasis will be placed on preparing your team in advance of a crisis to minimize its potential impact. Although dentists or sta will benefit by attending individually, the greatest gain is achieved when the dental team attends together. An extensive handout is provided which can later be condensed into a chairside manual with appropriate protocols to respond to most emergencies.

Learning Objectives:

Develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems.

Meet the Ohio State Dental Board’s auxiliary educational criteria for Medical Emergencies in the Dental O ce.

Be prepared to minimize a crisis’ potential impact.

OSDB CE Category: Unlimited; Dental Education and Scientific Courses – no limit Fee: M - $90; NMD - $155; S/O - $71

Recommended Audience: Dentists, Hygienists, EFDAs, Assistants, O ce Managers, Front O ce Sta Management of acute odontogenic pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates both opioid and non-opioid analgesics. However, moderate to severe dental pain often occurs well after o ce hours so it is critical to be able to accurately identify a patient's need for pain control, develop an individualized pain management plan and assess the e cacy of analgesic agents employed. This program will provide strategies for e ectively managing dental pain with opioid and non-opioid analgesics and analgesic adjuvants, while also mitigating associated risks. Special emphasis will be given to appropriate practices for prescribing analgesics as well as identification and treatment of opioid analgesic abuse.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the pharmacology and mechanism of action of opioid and non-opioid analgesics, as well as their potential for abuse.

Identify the intended roles of these analgesics in the treatment of acute dental pain, as well as situations which may preclude their use.

Discuss best practices for prescribing opioid analgesics as part of an individualized patient pain management plan.

All-ceramic crowns are the most popular crowns fabricated in America today. There are a number of choices, so how do you select the best choice? Buildups, preparation, and cementation are specific to the ceramic you choose. Treatment planning, smile design, and expectations must be communicated with the patient and the dental laboratory prior to preparation. Provisionals can serve as a template for the desired final crowns. From single unit anterior crowns to full mouth rehabilitations, learn how to select, treatment plan, prepare and seat long-lasting esthetic all-ceramic restorations. Topics include: all-ceramic restoration selection factors; proportion and personality-based smile design; creating an image of desired smile; using a master diagnostic model for dependable outcomes; using your provisionals as a try-in mockup; and seating: conventional cementation or bonding?

Learning Objectives:

Learn how to select the most appropriate all-ceramic restoration.

Utilize proportion and personality-based smile design for all-ceramic cases.

Hands-on Workshop

Limited Attendance

Recommended Audience: Dentists, Assistants

Support provided by Kerr Clinicians are often apprehensive or hesitant to perform Endodontic treatment, and this hesitancy derives from a lack of confidence in their knowledge, skills, and armamentarium. In this hands-on and interactive course, we will discuss all the Endodontic fundamentals - spanning from diagnosis to management of emergencies, to case selection for success, to complication management. We will also explore tried and true techniques for establishing glide path thorough cleaning and shaping, and 3D warm vertical obturation. The first part of our course will be focused on didactic skills. The second part of the lecture, which includes the hands-on component, will focus on the final stages of Endo, including separated instrument management and obturation. We will then be completing a hands-on workshop to practice glide path, instrumentation, and warm vertical obturation. Clinicians will leave this course feeling invigorated and confident for their next root canal, fueled with wide-spanning knowledge about how to handle the cases they see with their patients. These lessons will allow the clinician to start treating Endodontics like an everyday occurrence, which will expand both their clinical confidence and their everyday practice.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how to properly diagnose a tooth, understand the importance of proper diagnosis, and know how to treat di erent diagnoses, including emergencies, with the proper course of action.

Understand the guiding principles of glide path, the four complications and their solutions, and the movements to predictably get to glide path e ectively.

Be armed with a tried-and-true instrumentation and obturation technique for clinical success, including hands-on practice.

Do you know how many of your patients living with cancer or su ering with chronic pain use various forms of cannabis regularly? Is cannabis therapeutic for cancer or pain management? Dental professionals need a robust understanding of the potential pros and cons within the oral cavity as well as potential psychological e ects of chronic cannabis usage. Increased availability of cannabis for medicinal purposes is growing rapidly across North America so clinicians should expect to see increased oral manifestations with chronic usage.

OSDB CE Category: Unlimited; Dental Education and Scientific Courses – no limit Fee: M - $90; NMD - $155; S/O - $71

Recommended Audience: Dentists, EFDAs, Assistants

Ninety percent of crowns and bridges are now fabricated from a ceramic material according to a report from one of the largest US dental laboratories. Ceramic materials do not handle the same as metal-based restorations and improper selection or handling can lead to premature failure. This course will teach you how to select and handle di erent types of ceramic materials that are currently used in dentistry that will be much less confusing than typical marketing rhetoric. The ability to bond these dental ceramics

allows the practitioner to perform more conservative tooth preparations. As there are many di erent types of dental ceramics available (zirconia, lithium disilicate, porcelain, processed composite, etc.), determining the correct protocol for each type of ceramic can be confusing. This lecture aims to simplify the process of bonding ceramics and provide the clinician with a protocol that can be used to bond any type of dental ceramic. In this course, we will review the best clinical practices based on research studies conducted at the UAB School of Dentistry and provide pearls for you to take back to the o ce.

Learning Objectives:

Review the di erent types of dental ceramic materials.

Understand how to choose a ceramic material for anterior restorations.

Understand the preparation and design considerations for posterior crowns and bridges.
