Or join Dr. James Braun for “Keep the Root and Build Up: You're Better Off”. This course will explore the advantages of preserving teeth that have had endo but are compromised. There are so many benefits of maintaining root structure and placement of a foundation and subsequent crown.

Dr. Timothy Bizga will present “Designed for Accomplishment, Engineered for Success: How What We Do, Use and Think About Affect Our Daily Practice”. Those in search of riches know that one must move a lot of dirt in order to find a little bit of gold. This course is designed to sift through the “dirt”, providing informational “gold” on a variety of dental topics essential to seeing long term success!

Dr. Gary Radz will discuss “Tips, Tricks & Techniques for the Esthetic Based General Dentist”.

Jocelyn Coupal will present “The Role of the Dental Professional When Family Abuse is Suspected: An Ethical Dilemma”. Family abuse is a global problem, but it touches every one of us either directly or indirectly. If we accept that each member of the dental team does have a role to play, the challenge is in knowing how we can help our patients.

And Dr. Jim Grisdale will warn us about “The Dark Side of Implants: Complications, Diagnosis & Management”.

Dr. Fiona Collins will then present “Dry Mouth: Etiology, Complications and Management & Management of Pre- and Post-procedural Pain”. This presentation begins with a review of the prevalence and etiology of dry mouth, and its role as a risk factor for oral diseases and conditions.

And, for hygienists only, attend our popular Preventative Products Roundtable Luncheon.

In today’s digital world, data security is essential to every dental practice and his course, “Cybercrime in Dentistry: How Real is the Threat?”, Fred Sagester will discuss the potential types of cyber security threats that your office must protect itself against, why healthcare data is so valuable to hackers and how doctors can protect their data and their practice.

Then, Friday afternoon, Dr. Grisdale will present two additional courses, “Key Essentials for Successful Bone Grafting, Techniques for Socket Preservation and Augmentation for Implants and Restorative Dentistry: The Basics and Future Trends” and “Predictable Bone Grafting for Site Preparation for Implants & Restorative Dentistry: A Workshop”.

Next, Dr. George Kushner gives us “Complications in Dentistry”. By studying possible complications, we can hopefully decrease the potential complication rate in our own patient population.

And Dr. Radz will talk about “Elective, Cosmetic Dentistry for Adolescents & Young Adults”. This half-day lecture discusses the materials and techniques that can allow a dentist to predictably use very conservative techniques to create beautiful smiles for young people.

Dr. Pamela Stein-VanArsdell will teach us about “Foods That Fight Oral Cancer (and other cancers too): Evidence Based Eating for Cancer Prevention”.

Hernan Veras will show us how to create an “Effective Case Presentation to Get Case Acceptance Every Time”.

Allyson Taylor will educate us about “Human Trafficking: Street Signs and Recruitment Methods”. Human trafficking is occurring in every community in Kentucky but often goes unrecognized because of misconceptions held by those in a position to interact with and assist trafficking victims. This presentation focuses on dispelling those myths and giving attendees insight into how traffickers recruit victims and how those victims may present in daily life.

In his course, “Mission Based Dentistry - An Out of Office Experience!”, Dr. Joseph Jacobi will introduce us to a different mode of practice - that of mission-based dentistry to relieve pain and suffering. Mission trips in both the U.S. and overseas will be discussed as well as working with secular and faith-based organizations.

Dependable Sunday!

Sunday will bring our staple courses, “Basic Life Support-BLS Healthcare Provider Training” with our popular instructor, Mr. Dewayne Livers and Dr. George Kushner’s “Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office”.

In addition, Patty Byrd will present, “Recognizing Drug Abuse in Dental Patients and KASPER Update 2019”.
