THE FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
Program 9066
UMKC School of Dentistry
Friday, November 20, 2009
9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Tuition: $220
CEU’s: 6 hours

This program will concentrate on the nuts and bolts of the full mouth rehabilitation. Where do we begin? How do we develop the treatment plan? What will be our clinical objectives? What materials should we use to return our patients to proper form and function? This program is clinically oriented using cases Dr. Hansen has completed over the years.

This program will begin with a brief overview of occlusion and how it relates to the full mouth rehabilitation. We will discuss where to begin and how to develop the big case. Keeping the case temporized and functional during the construction phase is important. We will review how to articulate the large case, and how to keep it simple. We will review anterior guidance and how to develop it in a clinical situation.
This is a very clinically oriented program concentrating on completed cases, how to restore difficult occlusal problems, how to develop anterior guidance and transfer this information to the articulator and the laboratory.

Learning Objectives
• How to make interocclusal records for the large case
• Know where to restore the patient, centric relation vs. maximum intercuspation
• How to develop the treatment plan
• Basics of how to observe the occlusion
• How to recognize occlusal problems
• How to develop the interocclusal relationships
• How to provisionalize the patient for a predictable final result
• Can the VDO be changed safely?
• What materials should be used for rehabilitation
• How to incorporate implants into restoration
• What to look for in recalls and how to keep the rehabilitation going for years to come

DENTAL ETHICS
Barry Daneman, MS
Program 9067
UMKC School of Dentistry
Friday, November 20, 2009
9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Tuition: $220
CEUs: 6 hours

As professionals, dentists are focused on the needs of their patients and guided by codes of ethics and professional conduct. As business owners, they are concerned with earning an income and guided by the demands and logic of a competitive marketplace. In the course of a busy day dentists are asked to make scores of decisions — involving patients, office staff, family and community — the ethical dimensions of dentistry may get lost. This workshop uses the “case method” to help you recognize and clarify the place of ethics in your dental practice. The workshop has been designed in cooperation with the Missouri Dental Board.

Barry Daneman is a clinical associate professor and director of advancement at the UMKC School of Dentistry. He teaches dental ethics to dental and dental hygiene students.

He has lectured for Technology Day at the ADA Annual Sessions in 2001 and 2002. He has hosted a live bi-weekly call-in television program, “Dentistry and You,” for three years.

Incorporating the Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) into Your Practice
James C. Kulild, D.D.S., M.S., F.A.C.D., F.I.C.D.
Tim S. Taylor D.D.S., F.I.C.D.
Program 9069
Friday, February 12 and Saturday, February 13, 2010
8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (continental breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided both days)
UMKC School of Dentistry, Faculty Practice and AEGD Clinic, Second Floor.
Tuition: $850
CEU’s: 16
Enrollment is limited to 12 participants

You can’t treat what you can’t see; now, however, the operator of a state-of-the-art Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) can view heretofore unseen aspects of both soft and hard tissues during patient treatment and achieve more successful outcomes. Dental loupes allow increased magnification but are limited by the weight of the lens. The DOM allows magnification beyond 20X, which can allow direct or indirect visualization of crown margins, root canal access preparations and calcified root canal systems, restorative preparations, and the like.

This course uses the Zeiss OPMI Pico and OPMI PROergo DOMs, all of which contain the incredibly bright white Xenon light source. The OPMI Pico features a 5-step magnification changer, while the OPMI PROergo features a variable magnification and focal distance, along with a Free Float Magnetic System, which secures it in any position the operator chooses. This course teaches clinicians basic and more advanced use of the DOM.

Instructional Objectives
At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

1. Understand the advantages of incorporating a DOM into a clinical dental practice.
2. Understand the components of a DOM and be able to make individual adjustments to accommodate it for use by the participant.
3. Understand the important considerations when buying/leasing a DOM.
4. Be able to make adjustments in both operator and patient positions to allow maximum flexibility in viewing the operating field.
5. Be able to perform clinical diagnostic procedures using the DOM.
6. Be able to perform endodontic access refinement using the DOM on maxillary and mandibular incisor and premolar teeth.
7. Be able to perform restorative procedures on maxillary and mandibular teeth using the DOM

Making Sense of the New American Heart Association Guidelines
Dr. Behjat Moghadam, DDS, DScD Program 9062
Program 2012
Saturday, April 17, 2010
8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
UMKC School of Dentistry
Tuition: $120
CEUs: 4 hours

In a major departure from previous AHA guidelines, the committee no longer recommends IE prophylaxis based solely on an incased lifetime risk of developing IE. In order to provide a meaningful review of the new AHA guidelines, this presentation will highlight assessment of complex medical issues such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and other complicated medical disorders in the context of the new AHA guidelines. Since screening and recording of medical problems are a routine part of care for all dental patients, emphasis will be on the necessity of proper methods of obtaining and recording medical data, the need for this documentarian and assessments of possible risk factors. Many clinical examples will be presented. The end of the course will provide the most current clinical knowledge on how to manage a wide range of complex systemic and mucosal disorders in general practice of dentistry.

Learning Objective
• The clinical implication of the new AHA guidelines in relation to the broad spectrum of systemic disorders such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, drug addiction, hepatitis AIDS and in patients on different medications.
• Practical suggestions for communication with physicians and cardiologists
• How and when to request medical consultation
• How to educate patients with certain cardiac or other medical conditions that no longer require pre-medication
• An overview of oral lesions in association with systemic conditions and mucosal interaction with medication use

Clinical Application of Cone Beam CT in Field of Dentistry-an Overview
Vandana Kumar, DDS, MS

Clinical Application overview

In this presentation the advantages of introducing third dimension in diagnosis and treatment planning would be explored. Although the ability of Computed tomography (CT) in providing three-dimensional information to enhance visualization of bony structures, as well as their relationship with surrounding anatomic structures such as the maxillary sinus and mandibular canal has been established but associated motion and metal artifacts, increased radiation exposure, limited availability, and higher cost has restricted its use in the field of dentistry. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a fast emerging imaging modality in dentistry that offers the advantages of high diagnostic yield with shorter scanning times and a radiation dose significantly lower than conventional CT. An overview of Cone beam Ct applications in various disciplines of dentistry will be presented.

Dr. Vandana Kumar is an assistant professor in the Department of Oral pathology, Medicine and Oral radiology at the UMKC School of Dentistry where she teaches as well as participates in a number of research projects using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. She was boarded in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in December, 2006 and awarded a masters in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in August 2007.
