Welcome to the 2016 William F. Slagle Dental Meeting

The William F. Slagle Dental Meeting, formerly named the MidSouth Dental Congress, is one of the College of Dentistry’s greatest traditions. The inaugural meeting was held in 1995 to promote quality care by providing the dental team with an exceptional education opportunity. Continuing this mission, the Slagle Dental Meeting is committed to offering extensive continuing education courses, commercial exhibits, and additional educational programs advancing the growth and development of the dental profession.

The Planning Committee, the Dentistry Alumni Association, and the UT College of Dentistry have worked diligently to present a 2016 program that honors the meeting’s

legacy with the highest caliber continuing education speakers. The program also includes hands-on courses and expanded programming for the entire dental office staff.

Throughout its history, the meeting has provided more than $2 million in proceeds directly to the College of Dentistry – a benefit you do not get from other continuing education programs. Your participation at the Slagle Dental Meeting and Dentistry Alumni Weekend helps enhance the dental school experience for current and future students.

On behalf of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry Alumni Association and the planning committee, I extend our warmest greetings to you and thank you for your participation in this exciting event.

We look forward to seeing you in Memphis!

Warmest Regards,

Lasers in Dentistry: A Two-Day Comprehensive Primer

8:30 am – 4:30 pmCourse Code: 001 / 12 hours CE

The use of hard tissue and soft tissue lasers in dental practice continues to evolve and improve. What began as a simple excisional device has transformed into a technology, which can be used in every dental specialty. This informative and interactive, hands-on experience will take you into the world of laser dentistry beyond gingivectomy and fibroma removal.

Presentation and hands-on, (pig jaws and extracted teeth), topics will include cavity preparation, techniques to enhance periodontal surgery, and predictable pain relief using various wavelengths.

• Learn why a single laser wavelength is not appropriate for every dental indication

• See real time video and photographs of clinically relevant laser procedures across multiple specialties

• Spend time performing hands-on exercises on pig jaws and extracted human teeth

• Get a sneak peek at how lasers are being incorporated into dental education at the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry

The Savage Bottom Line8:30 am – 11:30 amCourse Code: 002AM / 3 hours CE

The world will never be as it was in the past. Dental practices need to be more focused on the bottom line: overhead control, delegation and accountability.

We know that by ‘tweaking’ systems, increasing communication and elevating teamwork, you’ll get results, not just theories. This fun, fast paced, high content course will give you tools to implement quickly.

• Consider various bonus programs

• Compare their overhead numbers to national statistics, including staff salaries, benefits, supplies and laboratory costs

These systems are the key to the top-tier practices and their success! Enjoy a lively session while learning where to grow and streamline the business, you can do it and we will show you how!

Medical and Dental Implications of the Most Common Physician-Prescribed Medications!

8:30 am – 4:30 pmCourse Code: 009 / 6 hours CE

Should I use caution when prescribing NSAIDs with antihypertensives? Can NSAIDs cause atrial fibrillation? Can I prescribe a NSAID to a patient who takes warfarin? Can I prescribe fluconazole, (Diflucan), for a patient taking clopidogrel, (Plavix). There are hundreds of drug interactions, but only a handful are clinically relevant.

Is antibiotic prophylaxis required for patients with orthopedic prostheses? Your patients are living longer thanks to their medications, but many of the physician-prescribed medications used by your patients have dental implications and side effects affecting your treatment plan. Some medications are more likely to cause violent behavior and others can cause, “burning mouth syndrome.”

What analgesic is the safest for a pregnant patient? This presentation includes the indications, contraindi cations, and side effects of the most commonly prescribed medications. Many of these medications were not approved when you took your pharmacology course in dental school. These medications represent one third of all prescriptions taken by your dental patients and familiarity with these drugs will provide the dental practitioner with a better appreciation for the health profile of your dental patient.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Medications that could adversely interact with dental drugs.

• Why your patient is taking their medications

• Oral side effects caused by these medications

• Maximum doses for commonly prescribed pain medications

• When not to prescribe NSAIDs

• How to combine analgesics to maximize their effects

• Current recommendations for SBE and orthopedic prosthesis prophylaxis

Tooth Bleaching: Bridging Past Knowledge to Future Treatment Options

8:30 am – 11:30 amCourse Code: 010AM / 3 hours CESponsored by Dentsply Caulk

Although tray bleaching has been around for over 25 years and in-office bleaching has since enjoyed a resurgence, there are some questions that have only recently been answered by good research or long time experience. Some of these answers are contrary to typical current marketing claims, while some support those claims. This presentation will explore tray, in-office, and OTC bleaching techniques, and discuss current knowledge based on published research, as well as clinical experience, especially as that relates to children and older adults. Treatment for discolorations such as brown and white spots, single dark teeth, as well as nicotine stains and tetracycline-stained teeth will be discussed.

Additionally, the FTC has made some startling judgments concerning bleaching without a dental license in malls and salons, so this course will shed insights on the governmental impact on community situations and licensure.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Bleaching examination components, plus hydrogen and carbamide peroxide differences

• Differences between tray, in-office and OTC products and techniques

• Treatment options for brown & white discolorations, plus nicotine stains

• Treatment of tetracycline-stained teeth and long-term safety

• Indications for different bleaching techniques and research support for each

Dr. Van B. Haywood is Professor in the Depart-ment of Oral Rehabilitation, College of Dental Medicine, Georgia Regents University. In 1989, he co-authored the first publication in the world on Nightguard vital bleaching (at-home bleaching) with Dr. Harald Heymann, and in 1997 co-authored the first article on extended treatment (six-months) of tetracycline-stained teeth using this technique. He has completed further research and over 145 publications on the NGVB technique and the topic of bleaching and esthetics, including first papers on treating bleaching sensitivity with potassium nitrate, direct thermoplastic tray fabrication,

bleaching primary teeth, and caries control with bleaching materials. His book titled “Tooth Whitening: Indications and Outcomes of Nightguard Vital Bleaching,”was published by Quintessence International in 2007 and is now available on iBooks.(Dentsply Caulk – Honorarium)

initiative which provided more than $5

million to these and other community

organizations. Over the past five years,

the company has provided more than

$12.7 million in statewide grants and

community support.

In addition to directing support

from Delta Dental, Phil co-chaired the

Winfield Dunn, which concluded in 2011. The campaign

exceeded its $15 million goal, generating $19.7 million for

the College of Dentistry.

tional College of Dentists, the American College of Dentists,

the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American and

Tennessee dental associations. He is the board chair for the
