Presentation Topics

Surgical Crown Lengthening Workshop  and  Soft Tissue Grafting WorkshopClinical hands-on workshops on Clinical Crown Lengthening and Soft Tissue Grafting both provide participants with a unique opportunity: they include the chance to practice surgical techniques on pig jaws.  In addition, there is a thorough review of all biologic principles for each procedure, as well as a study of indications and contraindications.  Both courses include two video presentations of the surgical procedures being learned, as well as a comprehensive workbook.  Interactive treatment planning sessions to review key concepts are part of each workshop as well.

Soft Tissue GraftingLearn evidence-based solutions for the soft tissue challenges you face on a daily basis, and how to cover those exposed roots and predictably stop recession. In this workshop, methods are illustrated to solve those problems and enhance your restorative results. Gain peace of mind knowing the gingiva stays in place by the margins of newly placed esthetic crowns.

The workshops can also be offered with a morning session open to all, followed by a limited attendance afternoon session. The morning is promoted as a pre-req in this format. The benefit to your group is that the morning session will appeal to a wider range of audience, ie: those wanting to learn about the subject, but not interested in the hands-on portions.

Jim has practiced Periodontics for over 35 years, plus has over 20 years experience teaching and lecturing. He now devotes his time to helping General Dentists learn about surgical procedures that will directly enhance their restorative and esthetic results. He teaches either a hands-on workshop where participants practice surgery on pig jaws, or lecture-only presentations. These have been presented to a wide range of State and Regional dental association meetings and are offered regularly for the Perio Institute all over the US and Canada. In addition, he provides guest lecture presentations at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

Presentation Topics

Six Steps to a Paperless Practice: How to Avoid a $50K MistakeDr. Lavine provides attendees with the tools and techniques needed to transition their practices efficiently and effectively. Attendees will learn a 6-Step “Treatment Plan” for deciding which technology to add and when, as well as how to integrate and sequence the technologies into the practice, involve the team and avoid costly mistakes.

HIPAA: the Good, the Bad …and ComplianceRecent changes to HIPAA rules have clarified the potential fines and penalties for non-compliance up to as much as $1.5M. Many practices that have had to report breaches have lost upwards of 25% of their patients immediately. Dr. Lavine walks attendees through a step-by-step game plan which details the policies and procedures that practices must implement to move toward full compliance.

Implementing technological tools is one of the best ways to increase dental practice revenue and efficiency. Without the right expertise, however, it is easy to stumble on costly pitfalls and obstacles. Adding to the challenges are Federal laws such as HIPAA and HITECH that add technical, physical, and administrative burdens on dentists.

Dentists need someone who not only understands technology but also the unique needs of dental practices.

Dr. Lorne Lavine, a former periodontist, is known as the leading authority on technology in the dental practice. Founder of The Digital Dentist, he has extensive hands-on experience with most practice management software, image management software, digital cameras, intraoral cameras, computers, networks, and digital radiography systems. Dr. Lavine has over 30 years invested in the dental and dental technology fields.

Dr. Lavine’s timely and practical lectures empower and guide participants through the potentially confusing technological maze of running a dental office in the 21st century.

Presentation Topics

Case Acceptance: Getting to ‘YES’Patients don’t buy root canals, crowns and fillings. Instead, they buy dentistry that ensures they’re not waking up with a toothache, or a procedure that improves their self-esteem or their overall health. While we as dental professionals believe that most treatment plans presented to our patients are a priority, the patient does not automatically agree. Help your patients see why it’s important that they invest in the dental procedures that improve their confidence and their oral health.

Gain tools, techniques and communication skills that allow you and your team to improve case presentation skills, immediately resulting in increased treatment acceptance. Specific critical steps on the ‘Path to Case Acceptance’ are identified for both the clinical team and the business team. Through collaboration, role-playing, and individual as well as group exercises, you will discover the strategies that will transform your mindset and inspire your patients. Because healthy patients equal a healthy practice.

Kristin Pelletier understands the barriers to case acceptance and is passionate about helping dental professionals transform their mindset so they can improve this critical practice goal. Her career in dentistry encompasses a broad range of experience in all aspects of managing a successful dental practice, from assisting, to office management, to software training as a certified Dentrix trainer.

Today, as a dental management consultant, Kristin’s comprehensive services are bringing success and transformational change to a long list of clients through her one-on-one consulting programs as well as group workshops.

• Endodontics• Practice Management

Presentation Topics

Endodontic Pain: Prevention, Causes, Diagnosis and TreatmentTreating patients with similar teeth, comparable medical / dental histories, and using the same clinical approach, may not result in a common outcome. While one patient may experience absolutely no pain the other may have severe pain and swelling. Often the clinician assumes that the problem is due to a procedural error. However, that may not be the complete answer. Pain is affected by a number of w e l l - d efin e d d e m o g r a p h i c , s o c i o - c u l t u r a l , psychological and biological variables.

The educational goal of this evidence-based translational presentation is to broaden the participant’s understanding of biological and clinical factors associated with pain from pulp/periapical pathosis and endodontic treatment. This knowledge will enable the clinician to utilize a biologically based pain preventive strategy as well as select appropriate treatment for the patient in pain.

Dr. Paul A. Rosenberg provides dentists with the tools to successfully prevent or manage pain in the endodontic patient. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award at New York University, which is its highest honor for teaching. He served as Professor and Chair of the Department of Endodontics and Post-Graduate Director at NYU College of Dentistry for over 25 years.

Dr. Rosenberg has published extensively in journals and textbooks. His new book, Endodontic Pain: Diagnosis, Causes, Prevention and Treatment, was recently published by Springer.

From “To Do” … to Done: Implementing Change in the Dental PracticeMany teams struggle when juggling tasks, protocol changes AND focusing on providing the best treatment possible for patients. All are critical to the success of the practice. Geared toward anyone in the dental practice who wants to make a positive impact, this course will explore the four key elements to implementing change and getting stuff done in a dental practice.

Learn how to ensure that behind the scene tasks are being completed so team members can focus on patients and strengthen the practice. Gain the keys needed to successfully incorporate new skills and education into the practice to save time and money, as well as reap the rewards of implementing the changes.

Roll up your sleeves and join Implementation Coach, Jennifer Schultz, for this fast-moving, heavy-hitting workshop. Learn what it takes to incorporate a project management system and change the speed of implementation, increase communication, easily manage projects and team accountability, and transform your practice into a more productive and enjoyable work environment.

Implementation Coach, Jennifer Schultz,searched for the answer to this question and discovered four key elements that separate those that “do” from those that “don’t”: Vision, Plan, Communication and Accountability. Jennifer’s speaking and consulting programs provide the strategies and tools to help dental teams incorporate these key elements, become more productive and facilitate change so they can achieve more.

After 20 years working in the dental industry as a practice management consultant, software trainer and a clinical hygienist (15 of those years), Jennifer started Virtual Dental Office. VDO provides virtual assistance to dentists nationwide to help front office teams run more efficiently and give them the time to focus on an exceptional patient experience.

Presentation Topics

Upside Down Leadership: Building a Team of “Owners” that Take Everyone to the TopStress, frustration and contention are chronic in dentistry today. Change these dynamics by creating a framework for participation and growth, establishing clear expectations and showing genuine appreciation. Enlist, engage, and empower team members to create a culture of high performance and loyalty.

100% YES!  The Total Team System for Maximizing Case AcceptanceLearn a total team, skills-based approach to case acceptance where every encounter is an opportunity to lead patients with warmth and rapport to ultimately convert their needs into wants. Learn a straight forward patient care and co-diagnosis formula which leads patients to “own” their treatment and understand the urgency – preventing much greater costs and discomfort later.

Associate and Partnership Transitions:Dentistry’s Unseen GraveyardLearn a process oriented (vs. project oriented) transition model, focusing on creating partnerships instead of just a contract. This facilitative approach utilizes a transition quarterback managing the process while maintaining a long-term relationship with the providers.
