Minimally Invasive Dentistry and Biomimetics: It’s More Than Tiny Preparations
The concept of Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MIBD) will be presented along with the integration of Ozone as an adjunct to these treatments. Time will be spent developing the science background of O3 use and areas of where it can be used in dentistry. The focus of the presentation will always be on MID with a philosophy of “do no harm.” Techniques will be presented to rebuild teeth with buiilt in faith safes so that if the tooth fractures again it will fracture predictably, not catastrophically and is simply repairable. Technologies for helping patients receive these MIBD treatments will be presented and we will briefly touch on the economics of conservative dentistry.

Dr. Bill Hang
AIRWAY-kening™ Orthodontics - A New Paradigm for the Coming Post Retraction World
With poor facial balance and OSA in young children producing permanent brain damage in just one night and OSA in adults placing patients at risk for virtually every chronic disease with possibly early demise, the stakes for optimizing facial development and airway have never been higher. Is “managing” airway problems the best we can do? This presentation will discuss ways patients could increase their tongue space/airway perhaps eliminating their breathing problems. Expansion of the maxilla is the knee jerk response we hear for addressing OSA, but that is merely a start. Techniques for optimizing forward facial development to increase airway starting as early as age 3 will be outlined. Non-traditional approaches to develope the face and airway in teenagers will be contrasted with more traditional treatment. Patients who have undergone previous retractive orthodontics have options which have been shown to eliminate OSA by increasing the airway. Ten specific “do’s” and “don’ts” will be presented which can be used by wet-gloved dentists on Monday morning. Dentists should be the gatekeepers of the airway through facial development. When dentists understand this and implement approaches which optimize facial balance and airwary, the profession will rightfully become the center of healthcare.

Dr. Jason Gillespie:
Implant Dentistry: Practicalities, Pearls and Pitfalls
Implant dentistry is an important part of most all restorative practices. It has become the preferred treatment modality in most of the partially edentulous and a necessity in the completely edentulous. Treatments can be classified by their potential difficulty and if one overlooks the classification, the resulting pitfalls can be difficult to both, avoid and escape. This treatment-centric presentation will review restorative and surgical classifications. It will also cover treatments from simple to complex with the realities of private practice in mind. Restorations that are fixed or removable, ceramics or resins will all be covered. Cementation versus screw-retained restorations will be discussed as well as customized parts. Despite your best efforts, implant problems will likely arise. Management of these complications will also be discussed. Finding practicalities, discovering the pearls and avoiding the pitfalls are all goals of the presentation and it should be an immediate benefit to your private practice!

Dr. John Burgess:
