Anesthesia Local Anesthesia Strategies and Updates: What You Don’t Know Can’t Help You
nn Thursday, June 20 from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM CE Credits: 3 Credits “Do I need a shot?” Even though necessary injections can be frightening, from the perspective of a clinician trying to stay on schedule, comments such as “It’s not numb,” and “Are you sure that isn’t water?” can be frustrating and disappointing. Leveraging pharmacology, anatomy, technique, and patient factors can significantly improve the LA landscape. A casebased discussion will highlight Gow-Gates blocks, PDLs, short needle IA blocks, buffering, eutectics, CCLADs, distractions, and other lesser known techniques and strategies to improve LA outcomes. A clinician who was questioning her ability to perform successful mandibular blocks recently asked for help. After learning just one of the techniques in this presentation, she became the go-to individual for mandibular anesthesia in her office. PNDC 2019 | Register at wsda.org/pndc

• Understand criteria to improve the chance for successful implant treatment
Did you know that more than 20% of hospital admissions are due to adverse drug reactions? Dentists prescribe less than 10% of all available drugs, but your patients may be taking others from the 90% with which you are not familiar. Since polypharmacy is the norm, especially in the over 65-year-old population, this course should be considered essential to every practice setting today. Do you have patients who are already on one prescription medication before they come to your office? How about four prescription medications? Did you know that the likelihood of a drug interaction in a patient on five medications is greater than 50%? What if you are the prescriber who writes that fifth prescription? With so many new medications, herbal products, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements available on the market, how can you be confident that the prescription you write is compatible with what your patient is currently taking? This interactive program looks at some of the more common drugs and drug interactions and their management with a particular focus on the dental realm. Case studies will augment the delivery of key points and a problem-based learning approach is encouraged so that each participant’s questions are addressed. The program will conclude with a discussion of references and demonstration of some available databases. After all, when an adverse drug reaction occurs due to a drug interaction, who is more at risk—you or your patient?

This interactive course, using a web-based audience response system, will demonstrate concise step-by-step treatment planning guidelines that fulfill esthetic demands and integrates current adhesive restorative materials with digital technology as well as conventional clinical protocols. Procedures and techniques for esthetic and functional success with high strength ceramics and CAD/CAM technology will be reviewed and demonstrated with the Dental Microscope HD Video, based on the most current scientific evidence, to assess what factors most influence clinical outcomes for ceramic crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and veneers.
Classification of diseases give the practitioner a framework to help diagnose and treat disease appropriately. The 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was published in 2018, providing a comprehensive update to the 1999 Classifications. This course will provide a synopsis of the updates and the evidence that led to the changes. The course will address methods of biofilm removal, the cornerstone of periodontal therapy, with an emphasis on application of air polishing technology and techniques. Dr. Daubert has done clinical research on biofilm removal comparing subgingival air polishing to other methods of biofilm removal. She has also participated in a consensus conference to provide guidelines for dental professionals on the use of air polishing. She will present both clinical recommendations and evidence to support the recommendations.
Not all patients that need or require surgical periodontal care are candidates for this form of therapy. A variety of factors preclude them from receiving or pursuing surgery to correct their problems. This population of patients may benefit from a variety of chemotherapeutic pharmacologic agents currently available to affect host modulation and address their disease. This program will explore the rationale and appropriate usage of pharmacologic agents used as adjuncts to traditional modes of periodontal therapy as well as DNA culturing to assist your selection of medications.

without the use of narcotics? Wouldn’t you like to be more confident in all of your prescription writing, knowing that you are on the cutting edge, that you are evidence-based and that you are guideline-driven? This is that program. In 2010, enough opioids were sold to medicate each American adult at a dose of 5mg of hydrocodone every four hours for one month. You do not want to be part of this problem. Remember the Spiderman Principle that, “with great power there must also come – great responsibility.” And what about all of those new antibiotics you keep hearing about? Are they really the latest and greatest? Are there really new guidelines when it comes to antibiotic prophylaxis? This interactive program looks at the appropriate prescribing of analgesics and antibiotics with a particular focus on the dental realm. Case studies will augment the delivery of key points and a problem-based learning approach is encouraged so that each participant’s questions are addressed.
• Describe step by step preparation techniques with specific diamonds and rationale for perfect finish lines for composite restorations • Demonstrate how to get precise and consistent contacts and finishing and polishing techniques to preserve tooth structure and restoration integrity

TABLE CLINICS JBLM Table Clinics
Post-graduate residents in the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Advanced Education in General Dentistry program will present table clinics on Thursday, June 20 from 11:30 AM1:00 PM outside of the Exhibit Hall.
Dr. Paul Chung Endocrown Case Selection, Technique, and Materials
The traditional treatment modality for restoring endodontically treated molars with extensive coronal structural loss has been post, core, and crown for decades. Advances in adhesive dentistry and CADCAM technology has made the endocrown an effective alternative in restoring compromised teeth. We will discuss case selection, analyze different techniques in preparation and fabrication, and compare restorative materials and adhesives.
Dr. Ross Emerick Tooth-Implant Fixed Partial Denture: Is There Any Indication?
Tooth-Implant Fixed Partial (TIFP) Dentures are rarely considered as a viable treatment option in restoring function in the partially edentulous. Is there any clinical presentation where this should be considered, or even favored? Depending on patient preferences and the clinical situation, the answer may be yes. This table clinic will discuss what is necessary to make this restoration a success: (1) tooth selection and span of FPD, (2) implant placement, (3) rigidity of tooth to implant connection, (4) cement selection and FPD retention, and (5) framework and veneering.
Dr. William Frei Biologic Shaping: A Conservative and Predictable Alternative to Traditional Crown Lengthening
In order to ensure complete caries removal and maintain appropriate biologic width, dental practitioners must often employ a crown lengthening technique which requires the removal of tooth-supporting bone. Often times, the teeth involved are periodontally compromised or contain anatomical irregularities, resulting in further periodontal instability and a fading prognosis. This table clinic will present a more conservative and predictable alternative 42
PNDC 2019 | Register at wsda.org/pndc
to traditional crown lengthening- Biologic Shaping. This technique involves a circumferential removal of all root surface irregularities as well as existing cementoenamel junctions (CEJs) and existing margins. Minor osseous contouring is involved when indicated to improve bony architecture. The result is perfectly contoured and smooth root surfaces and a re-establishment of supragingival and easily cleansable margins.
Dr. Patrick Huebner The Etiology, Diagnosis, and Multidisciplinary Management of Adolescent Impacted Maxillary Canines
Maxillary canines are the most commonly impacted teeth after third molars and occur in approximately 2% of individuals. They can occur labially as well as palatally and are found twice as common in females. While treatment of impacted maxillary canines remains a challenge to clinicians today, it is important to diagnose and intervene early to refrain from more complex treatment in the permanent dentition. This table clinic will discuss the etiology and diagnosis of maxillary impacted canines, as well as surgical and orthodontic treatment options. The goal is to provide the general dentist with the necessary understanding to develop an optimal treatment plan when such a patient presents for their care.
Dr. Andrew Kary A Clinical Algorithm for Diagnosis of Orofacial Pain
When a patient presents to the dental clinic in pain, the dentist needs to manage the problem urgently. Fortunately, in most of the cases that we encounter, orofacial pain is readily diagnosed and treated. However, sometimes the etiology is unclear and the underlying condition is refractory to our attempts at empiric therapy. In such cases an appropriate course of treatment can be selected by applying a systematic approach to history and physical examination. This table clinic provides a clinical algorithm for differential diagnosis of orofacial pain.
Dr. Carsen McDaniel The Socket Shield Technique: A Proposed Defense Against Alveolar Ridge Resorption Post extraction maintenance of alveolar bone height and width is a major concern when replacing anterior teeth.
Research shows that 1 year after extraction, alveolar bone is reduced by about 4 mm in the vertical dimension and 3.6 mm in the horizontal dimension. Such alveolar ridge reduction compromises the esthetic outcome of either fixed dental prosthesis’ or single tooth implant restorations. This table clinic presents the socket shield technique; one option for preserving alveolar ridge dimensions following the extraction of anterior teeth. This technique leaves a residual “shield� of buccal tooth structure within the extraction socket which maintains ridge dimension at the site of an FDP pontic or single tooth implant. Biological rationale, surgical technique, clinical results and case presentation of the socket shielding technique will all be discussed.
Dr. Ethan Tindall Periodontal Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics for the Partially Impacted Canine Periodontal Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) is defined as a clinical procedure that combines selective alveolar corticotomy, particulate bone grafting, and the application of orthodontic forces. This more recent surgical orthodontic technique was introduced by Wilcko et al. and involves a pattern of bone healing known as regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) to shorten treatment time, increase alveolar bone width, and increase post treatment stability. This table clinic focuses on how PAOO can specifically be used to help the movement of ankylosed canines into a more ideal position.
Dr. Jacob Woodward Computer Guided Implant Surgery
Implant placement and positioning is critical for a long lasting, functional implant. Proper planning with computer assistance can help the Dentist to ideally place implants around adjacent teeth and vital structures in addition to optimizing the final restoration. This table clinic will review the importance of proper implant placement and positioning. It will also review the different methods for using computer aided design for making a surgical guide for implant placement. Finally, it will look at the benefits and drawbacks of using computer assisted guides.
