Re-Image the Way You Can Treat Patients with More Conservative Treatments and Preserving Teeth: Lecture and Workshop

 March 7-8, 2025, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM PST

REGISTRATION

Cracked Teeth, Black Triangles, and Food Traps: Re-Image the way you can treat patients with more conservative treatments and preserving teeth

Date: March 7, 2025
Time: 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM (PT)
Location: Lynnwood Convention Center, 3711 196th St SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036

Course Description

Better informed patients on a variety of sources are changing dentistry. Techniques and materials are being questioned like never before. Social media platforms allow patients to learn about new methods to save their teeth and this information is going to spread more rapidly than we think. Will you be ready?

Dentists often don’t know what to do for situations such as a partially cracked tooth, recession-caused food traps, and black triangles, loss of all lingual enamel due to erosion and many such instances we see daily.

Are crowns the solutions? If not, then what is?

Getting away from the “Crown-to-Root Canal train” is good dentistry for our patients. With new ideas, methods and materials like the Bioclear System, you can be their hero. The Bioclear method of engineering teeth along with anatomic matrices allow solutions for some, if not most of the most difficult situations that dentists encounter.

Learning Objectives:

Learn the principles of re-imagined Class II preparations, closing black triangles with ease, rebuilding lost dentin without fear of de-bonding, all while keeping nerves happy and patients thrilled.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Wear and other Occlusal Problems for Complex Restorative Cases

Occlusal risk can be the hidden nemesis that destroys predictability and longevity. In many cases those risks are actually identifiable from the history present in the joints, the muscles, the teeth, and the patient’s presenting condition. This program illustrates and discusses recognizing and addressing those risks.

Learning Objectives:

  1. An understanding of when the occlusion is a problem
  2. The ability to identify the etiology of the problem
  3. How to capture and plan for the patient’s occlusal patterns
  4. How to design the therapeutic occlusion to deal with the problem

 

Functional Esthetics: Predictably Creating Lasting Beauty

Approaching every esthetic case with the confidence to successfully diagnose, treatment plan and execute it is liberating and calming. This program presents a process for making anterior restorative dentistry easier and more fun. You will leave with an understanding of the principles of Facially Generated Treatment Planning and their application.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Facially generated planning guidelines
  2. Integration of function with the esthetic plan
  3. Minimizing the risks of occlusion
  4. “Smooth” and its impact on success
  5. Appropriate materials and their selection
