SCIENTIFIC SESSION
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Dr. Paul Chang and Mr. Ernst Hegenbarth, MDT
"Esthetic All Ceramic Restorations on Implants: Science and Technology of Predictable Concepts"
Learning Objectives:
- Management of complex restorative solutions involving single and multiple implants with NobelGuide™ and Procera® Systems
- How to use provisional restorations to manage and maintain tissue health in complex therapies
- Clinical and laboratory procedures for single and multiple Procera® restorations
Drs. Lyndon Cooper and Glenn Reside
“Drivers and Navigators: A Team Approach to Executing Calculated Decisions”
Learning Objectives:
This presentation is intended to reinforce the important relationship between the surgical and restorative treatment phases of implant therapy. Excellent implant therapy requires management of patient expectations, precise implant placement and eventual restoration of lasting and esthetic quality. These goals are best achieved when the surgeon and prosthodontist worktogether during the initial treatment planning phases of care. Particular guidelines for obtaining useful data through proper fabrication of radiographic and surgical guides will be presented and the use of digital planning will be illustrated. When thetreatment can be envisioned fully prior to initiation of care, effective patient management and treatment can be assured.
Dr. Bradley Fischman

“Advanced Practice Management for Every Dental Practice”
Learning Objectives:
The primary goal of this participation seminar is to teach new and powerful clinical and practice management techniques that will help the dental office team integrate new areas of productivity into the dental office. These practical concepts are designed to teach you how to motivate your patients to ask for treatment, how to offer new dental services, let patients try out their dentistry before treatment, substantially lower your overhead, show you how to easily make dentistry affordable for patients, significantly reduce your stress, and have fun doing dentistry. This seminar is a fast paced, highly motivational, entertaining, and educational course and is recommended for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and office managers. This course will get you and your staff excited about dentistry!
