In order to make "digital adaptation" productive, Dr. Goldstein will explore in detail the three areas of digital implementation that have resulted in the greatest bang for the buck, including the clinical methods and materials used to deliver the "newly found" dentistry that will result from digital co-diagnosis with an emphasis on cosmetic rehabilitation.

Dr. Goldstein's seminar explains all the reasons why you should be taking digital images every day, how to operate current digital SLR cameras, how to store and catalog images and how to use Thumbs Plus software.

Making use of all this information will help to noticeably increase cosmetic and restorative output in your practice!

Since 1990, the U.S. Food and Drug administration has approved the use of seven different wavelengths for dental use. These different wavelengths create a world of difference in how the lasers operate, and their usefulness in the oral cavity.

The first day lecture will detail laser use in the following subject matters:

The second day workshop will give each participant hands-on experience with the various wavelengths by performing surgical procedures on in-vitro models and pig jaws. Real time videos of routine laser procedures will be part of the in-depth discussion of specific instrument settings and techniques for laser surgical procedures.

RESULTS: At the conclusion of the course, the participant will be familiar with the various wavelengths used, their effects on oral tissues, and their uses for specific oral diseases and pathologies found in everyday practice. They will be able to incorporate this knowledge into their practices first thing Monday morning.

Course Description:
 
Each year in the US, millions of teeth are extracted due to conditions such as caries, trauma and advanced periodontal disease Extraction site grafting and ridge preservation procedures offer significant advantages to the patient and the dental practice, but many dentists still aren’t taking advantage of the benefits these procedures offer to their patients.

Tooth extraction without concomitant socket grafting results in osseous deformities of the alveolar ridge, such as reduced height and width. This makes subsequent management of esthetics and implant placement very challenging. Socket grafting using a bone graft substitute has been shown to significantly reduce the bone loss, better maintain the ridge dimensions and enhance the clinician’s ability to provide esthetically and functionally satisfying restorations at a later time.

This course will help you understand site development principles and bone grafting protocols leading to the optimal foundation for esthetics and implant success. Attendees will gain the skill sets necessary to achieve predictable hard tissue augmentation and work with grafting materials in a hands-on setting.

HANDS ON PROGRAM: COURSE TOPICS

Performed on pig jaws from extraction, preparation placement of bone grafts

• Principle of successful hard tissue augmentation 
• Steps to performing extraction socket grafting and ridge preservation
• Instrumentation used to successfully perform bone augmentation
• Bone graft materials and indications for particular material
• Bone grafting complications
• Hands-on extraction socket grafting utilizing instructed technique
  - Site development
  - Bone graft & membrane placement
  - Suture technique

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES & THE DENTAL TEAM:

*Breakfast and Lunch Included*

Course Description:

Medical emergencies occurring in the dental office can be stressful and frightening, not only for the patient, but also the entire dental team.  This course is designed for dentists and staff to develop strategies to prevent, identify and respond to medical problems including syncope, allergic problems, cardiovascular abnormalities, diabetes and respiratory distress.  Emphasis will be placed on preparing the dental team in advance of a crisis to minimize its potential impact.

Although dentists or staff will benefit from attending individually, the greatest gain is achieved when the entire dental team attends together. By doing so, dental teams can develop a coordinated response to a patient’s problem.  An extensive handout is provided which can later be condensed into a chair-side manual with appropriate protocols to respond to most emergencies.

Hands-On session in the afternoon:

Successfully managing a medical emergency is significantly different from knowing about medical emergencies.  Working individually and in groups, the afternoon portion of the meeting will include a series of exercises to utilize the material presented in the morning lecture.

Upon successful completion of the course, the participant should be able to:

• Describe the autonomic portion of the peripheral nervous system and how emergency medications influence it

• Describe the respiratory system and critical components of respiration

• Describe the cardiac cycle and how it facilitates circulation and perfusion

• Recognize how to obtain a quality medical history that is both current and accessible

• Describe the minimal staffing requirements and pre-assigned duties for each staff person to respond to a medical emergency

• Understand how to recognize and maintain a patent airway

• Understand how to supplement the oxygen supply to someone with respiratory depression as well as  understand artificial respiration for the apenic patient and recognize the use of various medications in the dentist’s emergency drug kit
  
  
  ** Recommended: All attendees participating in the Medical Emergencies Course should have a current Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers Certification. If you don't have this certification, NJHPDI will be offering a BLS course prior to the Medical Emergency Course. Remember, this certification is recommended, not required.

Course Description:

Women have special needs and considerations that men don’t have when it comes to oral health and dental care.  Hormonal fluctuations affect more than a women’s reproductive system.  They have surprisingly strong influence on the oral cavity.  These changes are not necessarily the result of direct hormonal action on the tissues, but perhaps best explained as the effects of local factors on tissues exacerbated by hormonal activity.  Puberty, menses, pregnancy, and menopause all influence women’s oral health and the way in which dental treatment should be approached.  Similar influences may be seen as well in women taking oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy.  Discussion will lend itself to these life cycle changes and their impact on the oral cavity, as well as the latest information on osteoporosis and bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jawbone.  Also presented are oral conditions that may occur in women who are affected by eating disorders, as well as those who are victims of domestic violence.

BARBARA J. STEINBERG received her D.D.S. from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and completed a residency at the Medical College of Pennsylvania.  She is Clinical Professor of Surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine, as well as Adjunct Associate Professor of Oral Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.  She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Medicine.

Dr. Steinberg specializes in the treatment of medically compromised patients.  She is a nationally and internationally invited lecturer in the area of dental treatment of the medically compromised patient and women’s health, and has authored numerous articles and contributed to major textbooks on these subjects.  

For the last eight years Dr. Steinberg has been named by Dentistry Today “One of the Top Clinicians in Continuing Education”.  Dr. Steinberg is a former spokesperson for the American Dental Association on Women’s Oral Health Issues and has had numerous television appearances, including Good Morning America.  She represented the American Dental Association at a congressional briefing on Women’s Oral Health Issues and presently serves on the Health, Nutrition and Fitness Board of Women’s Day Magazine.
