Hearing the Silent Cry for Help Presenter: Linda Blackiston, RDH, BS Sponsored by: Philips Dentistry is well-positioned to recognize the signs of individuals that are trapped in dangerous situations. Abuse, neglect, domestic violence and human trafficking surround us in today’s society and leave clear indicators that – if we are properly trained to recognize them – can be detected. All too often an individual is crying for help and no one takes the time to get involved. Recognizing and reporting these dangerous situations is our responsibility as dental professionals. We are in a front-line capacity to prevent serious mental and physical consequences … perhaps even save a person’s life. This course will highlight some of the key warning signs of abuse, neglect, maltreatment and human trafficking. Resources will be provided for the most appropriate avenues for aiding these individuals. 3 CE Hours

Medical Histories and Emergencies in the Dental Office Presenter: Cindy Kleiman, RDH, BS Sponsored by: Philips The population is aging in the U.S., bringing older and more medically complex patients to the dental office. The chances of encountering a serious medical emergency are greatly increased. The average general dentist who doesn’t offer advanced sedation services is often woefully unprepared to respond to an unexpected medical emergency. In addition, the team members may be totally in the dark about the emergency equipment and procedures. Having basic knowledge is important, but motivating the team to be confidently prepared is the key. This course presents practical tips and protocols that can be put into practice the very next day. 3 CE Hours

So This Patient Walks into the Office – Everyday Encounters with Oral Pathology Presenter: Alice Curran, DMD, MS Patients often choose to visit the dental office when they have a symptomatic oral lesion that requires diagnosis and management. Others may present to the office with oral lesions that are asymptomatic. Lesions may be the result of trauma, infection, genetic alteration immune dysfunction, neoplastic processes or underlying systemic disease. Oral health professionals must be prepared to recognize a wide variety of oral lesions as well as discuss their significance with the patient. This course will present a variety of common oral lesions as well as some not-so-common lesions that may be encountered in routine dental practice.

A series of cases will challenge the participant to consider the general health as well as the oral health of the patient. 3 CE Hours .

Human Papilloma Virus: Implications for Dental Hygiene Practice Presenter: Jacquelyn Fried, RDH, MS This course will discuss the growing body of science associating HPV with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) and will il lustrate how this association has and will influence the practice of dental hygiene. Attendees will learn why some of their approaches to patient treatment will require re-examination and modification. Participants will expand their knowledge base related to HPV, its association with HNSCCs, the contrasts between carcinogen and HPV-induced oral cancers, the role of oral cancer screenings, salivary diagnostics and optical visualization devices for lesion identification, proposed treatments for head and neck cancers, and – based on etiologic factors – their outcomes. Cases will be discussed to provide insights regarding patient management. 3 CE Hours

The 2011 Mega-Disaster in Japan: Implications for Dental Professionals Presenter: Steven Becker, PhD On March 11, 2011, an immensely powerful magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the east coast of Japan, causing widespread damage and unleashing a massive tsunami that devastated populated areas. The toll from the Great East Japan earthquake-tsunami disaster was staggering: nearly 16,000 confirmed fatalities and more than 6,100 people injured. More than two years after the disaster, between 2,000 and 3,000 people were still missing. The earthquake-tsunami disaster also seriously damaged Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear generating station in Fukushima Prefecture. Radioactive contaminants were released into the environment, a “no go” zone was created, and more than 150,000 people evacuated. In response to the unfolding situation, a three-person non governmental Radiological Emergency Assistance Mission from the U.S. deployed to Japan. While on the ground, the team carried out a rapid site assessment, worked with Japanese colleagues, and provided training to Japanese hospital and healthcare professionals and emergency responders. Many lessons were learned from the assistance mission, including ways dental health professionals can use their skills to make an essential contribution to response and recovery efforts. In this course, participants will learn about the 2011 disaster and its impacts, the vital role dental health professionals played in response and recovery efforts, and the implications of the experience for dental health professionals in the U.S. and around the world. 1.5 CE Hours

Dental Radiographic Imaging for Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Presenters: Tara Newcomb, BSDH, MS and Ann Bruhn, BSDH, MS There have been many defining moments in U.S. history where challenges of mass fatality identification efforts have been clearly realized. Victims, their families and the community expect remains will be treated with formality, and that forensic procedures will ensure quick and accurate identification. The American Board of Forensic Odontology recommends the use of a dental hygienist on mass fatality dental ID teams. In the event of an incident with numerous unidentifiable remains, rapid identification becomes paramount. Mass fatality preparedness of dental practitioners could increase the number of trained,

deployable members of a response team. Because of their survivability, the best biometric identification are the dental structures. The dental hygienist holds licensure in competencies that directly benefit the forensic dental team including dental radiography. One of the most accurate methods for dental identification of victim remains are intraoral dental radiographic images. Radiographs are significant during comparative dental identification, postmortem profiling and age estimations, providing critical information in registration, detection, collection and preservation of forensic evidence. This course will discuss radiation technique and safety protocols for handheld radiology devices, to include using personal protective equipment and infection control recommendations when working on a DVI mass fatality team. 1.5 CE Hours
