Practical Update in Pediatric Dentistry
This entertaining and informative course features timely and practical information for any practice that treats
children. We review the latest on pulp therapy for primary and young permanent teeth, prevention, tooth colored
restorative materials, and the infant and toddler visit. We provide you with practical information, that is based on
sound science, so that you can provide the best care to your patients. Audience participation will be encouraged.
Much has changed in recent years regarding pulp therapy for primary and young permanent teeth. We will
review the latest on the indications, techniques and materials used in indirect pulp capping, pulpotomies, and
pulpectomies.
Prevention is the cornerstone of what we do as professionals. Come hear the latest on the bacteria that cause caries,
the protective role of saliva, chemotherapeutic agents, the consumer products that prevent enamel demineralization
and promote enamel remineralization, sealants, fluoride, and sugar substitutes including xylitol.
Tooth colored dental materials including glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass ionomer cements
(compomer), and composites have revolutionized restorative care for children. We review the advantages and
disadvantages and indications for each material so you can select the best material for any clinical situation.
Caries risk assessment has practical implications for how we treat children because it influences how frequently we
take radiographs, what restorative materials we use, and how aggressively we use preventive agents like fluoride
and sealants. We review recent trends in caries risk assessment so that you can use this information on a daily basis.
The infant and toddler visit is a wonderful opportunity to detect early caries, educate parents about good oral
hygiene and healthy feeding practices, and establish a dental home. More infants and toddlers will seek dental
care because the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently recommended that all children receive an oral
risk assessment at 6 months of age. From a practice management perspective, it is wise to offer a service that
is recommended by pediatricians and parenting magazines and requested by parents. We discuss the benefits
of the infant and toddler visit and use videotapes to demonstrate a simple method to achieve a comprehensive
examination.
Objectives:
At the end of the course you will be able to:
1. Manage primary and permanent teeth that require pulp therapy
2. Utilize the most effective methods to prevent disease
3. Select the most appropriate tooth colored restorative material for any clinical situation
4. Incorporate contemporary caries risk assessment into your practice
5. Discuss the benefits of the infant and toddler visit and complete a thorough infant and toddler exam

Interdisciplinary Treatment with Special
Emphasis on Orthodontics and Periodontics
Evaluation of periodontal risk and susceptibility will improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. The
morning session will highlight new material relating to the response of the periodontium to different
orthodontic treatment philosophies. Orthodontics should be accepted as a preventive service since recent
findings have shown that tooth movement alone can reduce pathologic levels of periodontal pathogens.
Skeletal relationships clearly identify patients who are more susceptible to periodontal breakdown, exhibit
unstable dental camouflage and lead to less than optimal dentofacial esthetics. A prognosticator that has
been under-appreciated is the transverse skeletal discrepancy. This factor is a reliable predicator of increased
risk of gingival recession. The evolution of multidisciplinary treatment over the past 35 to 40 years will be
discussed and how orthodontics has been used to reformat the periodontium. New studies will be reviewed
that report the first data on skeletal effect of lip bumper therapy on the transverse dimension. Though
early treatment is ideal to correct skeletal problems in three planes of space guidelines will be reviewed for
adolescents as well as adults requiring interdisciplinary treatment.
The afternoon session will include an update on ectopically positioned teeth and ankylosis. This review will
involve all teeth in both the maxillary and mandible.

“Real World Occlusion: It’s not just the Teeth”
A dentist’s guide to function, esthetics and stability of the Maxillomandibular and Craniofacial Complex
In most dental occlusal concepts the primary difference is one of condylar versus muscular positions. This is consistent
with the textbook images of saggital condylar positions or the diamond shapes of the lateral excursive movements
according to Posselt. However, these concepts do not take into account the three dimensional structures of the craniofacial
skeleton due to the relative difficulty of many dentists in visualizing how the muscles, TM Joints and the teeth all
function in harmony. Risk indicators of occlusal disharmony include parafunction , trauma, posture, sleep architrecture ,
psychological and neurologic inputs to the neuromuscular pathways. Understanding these variables reduces the risk of a
adverse outcome and requires an evidenced based logical and systematic approach to cosmetic/restorative cases that will
result in successful functional as well as Oral Health Related Quality of Life end points. Finally, management of patient
with Temporomandibular and Cranio- Cervical dysfunctions often require the use of intra-oral appliance therapy. Studies
however have reported variable results. Historical perspective suggests that different appliances and different mandibular
positions be needed for different types of disorders and that the “one for all” appliance may not be an effective strategy to
persue. These three world renowned lecturers will bring you their unique clinical experiences to help blend the concepts of
esthetics, function and dysfunction into your everyday treatment regimen.

Hornbrook Restorative Update 2009
Join Dr. David Hornbrook as he explores how the changes in restorative dentistry and how these changes are
improving and enhancing the treatment we can now offer our patients. Dr. Hornbrook will discuss, in detail, the
advantages and disadvantages of the metal-free options including step-by-step cementation of porcelain veneers,
all-ceramic crowns, and aesthetic inlays and onlays. He will also discuss his philosophy with treatment planning
and sequencing full mouth rehabilitation cases, anterior wear, and the use of “deprogrammers” to ensure long
term prognosis. Learn how to avoid many of the failures that he has made over the past 20 years and how to
communicate effectively with your ceramist to ensure patient satisfaction. Understand why clinicians must offer
and become proficient with ‘Prepless” and “minimal-prep” veneers and how to treatment plan and choose the
correct materials to avoid the unaesthetic result that are commonly seen with these restorations. Dr. Hornbrook
has an international reputation as a leader in aesthetic and functional dentistry and his passion for sharing his
experiences, both successes and failures, makes him a “must see” to take advantage of what dentistry can now offer
both patient and clinicians.
Learning objectives:
• Learn the latest on metal-free alternatives and the advantages and disadvantages of each system
• Improve lab communication to enhance aesthetic and functional results
• Understand why the “newest” is not always the best with adhesion systems
• Learn why traditional philosophies with posts and cores does not apply with adhesive dentistry
• Learn step-by-step predictable cementation of porcelain veneers
• Explore the new CAD: CAM systems and how they are changing the industry
• Learn simple communication and practice enhancement techniques to increase case acceptance
• Understand why “Prepless” veneers can and should be part of your restorative armamentarium
• Learn to how to avoid failures in bonded, metal-free dentistry
• And much more!

The Art and Science of CAMBRA:
A Team Approach Using Chemical Treatments
and Minimally Invasive Dentistry
This course is of specific interest to all members of the dental team. Learn how to prevent and even reverse early
lesions using oral disinfectants, modified sugars, fluoride, and new salivary diagnostics and replacement therapies,
rather than traditional surgical techniques. Dr. Young will also present research showing that not all caries should
be treated alike and the site-specific way to manage each carious site will be presented. The latest caries detection,
and glass ionomer sealant methodologies will be reviewed as well and strategies on how they are used in practice.
Learn how important the hygiene department and dental assisting staff are to this new paradigm.
Caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) is taught at all of the 5 California dental schools as well as
most schools across the US. It is considered my many as the current standard of caries management. In fact, the
“First Smiles” program is a 4-year $7 million grant to educate 47,000 dental professionals and over 9,000 medical
professionals in California about this approach to caries prevention and treatment. Dental hygiene must be willing
and able to accept these referrals from our colleagues, if not for the sole purpose of providing the best care possible
for our patients.
Learning Objectives:
• The course will outline current strategies which use critical thinking and an evidenced-based decision
method in managing the disease of dental caries.
• The participant will leave with practical tools needed to treat and prevent the disease of caries using a
caries risk assessment and intervention protocols based on individual risk.
• The participant shall have a better understanding of the disease process as well as the science behind
products and behaviors that will arrest, reverse, and prevent future disease.
• Websites will be presented where participants can keep up to date with current science on caries
management by risk assessment (CAMBRA). Participants will learn how to code and evaluate services
and products used in CAMBRA to enable continuous learning and improvement.
