What’s New in Continuing Education?

by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education

Welcome to 2015!We just fi nished another great year of CE on Dentaltown and I would like to thank all

of the amazing educators who have contributed and have made Dentaltown the top loca-tion for quality dental continuing education. Just a reminder: Every course released after December 2011 is viewable on your iPad and Android tablets! This last month we released more excellent CE courses on Dentaltown. Below are recently released courses.

This presentation will cover advanced tooth-replacement options with the new V4.2 software. This includes milled e.max CAD custom abutments, resin-bonded bridges and full contour bridges.

Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions by John Maggio, DDS

In this evidence-based course, Dr. John Maggio provides specifi c indications for restoring these lesions. Materials are compared and contrasted. Soft-tissue management is addressed. Tech-niques are introduced to simplify the restorative process and increase chances of success. Many cases are presented to directly apply this information to the daily practice of dentistry.

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns by Josh Wren, DMD

With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those under 19, there will be more than 3,000,000 pediatric patients added to 150,000 dental practices. Treating children may become a necessity for your dental offi ce. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns are procedures that are often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients.

This course will alleviate any fear that leads to this misperception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulptomy, and pulpectomy will be discussed with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stain-less steel crowns will also be discussed and procedural steps thoroughly explained and shown. Pulp therapy nor stainless steel crowns are possible without effective anesthetic techniques, thus this course also discusses Dr. Wren’s process for the utilization of nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and local anesthesia in order to achieve a painless injection 100 percent of the

time. If you are treating children in your practice, this course is a must.And for more Pediatric Pearls from Dr. Wren, join him and Dentaltown on February 6 in Fort Lauderdale

for Dentaltown Learning Live. Eight live CE credits will be given for this full-day event with Dr. Wren. Register at dentaltown.com/wrenevent.

strong, and provides a soft tissue profi le and health around the implants that rivals natural teeth. This presentation will make you rethink your titanium armamentarium. You will see a way

to provide your patients with an ideal tooth replacement option. An implant that looks like a tooth, restores like a tooth, and has the periodontal health that rivals that of a tooth without the fear of screw loosening, metal showing, and peri-implantitis caused by subgingival connections.
