Helping your patients to go ahead with the best you can offer in terms of dentures and service often

them ideal care. It requires an ethical approach to treatment plan presentations, not a “super sell”.

Implants were originally designed to treat the fully edentulous lower arch. As implant therapy has
progressed, we now have several options to treat the edentulous patient. This course will cover
treatment planning, improved patient communication leading to better case acceptance, and removable
and fixed implant options.
Course Objectives
After the course, the participant should be able to:

Course Description
"Rebuilding a third set of teeth."
There are many challenges in restoring the edentulous mouth. Since there are major clinical differences
between atrophic changes in the maxilla and mandible, different restorative options will need to be
considered.
Ultimately, the prosthetic outcome of our treatment will depend on the aesthetic and functional
demands of the patient. The desired prosthetic treatment plan will dictate the type and number of
implant support as well as pre-implant site preparation required. In this presentation, we will explore
treatment options ranging from implant retention of dentures to impact supported dentures including
more complex prosthesis such as the Marius bridge to full arch fixed prosthetic crowns and bridges.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Oral and Maxillofacial Rehabilitation
Oral and Maxillofacial Rehabilitation concerned with the restoration and/or replacement of the
Maxillofacial (jaws and face) structures with prostheses that may or may not be removed on a
regular or elective basis. Rehabilitation is offered for individuals who suffer anatomical
compromise due to Dentoalveolar defects, congenital (birth) disorders, trauma, and oral/facial
malignancies . Patients in need of such rehabilitation services present a wide array of rehabilitation
challenges associated with restoring normal appearance , improved function such as speech,
mastication (chewing) , and deglutition (swallowing) via the fabrication of prosthetic replacements
for missing structures of the jaws and face. The contemporary approach to rehabilitation for
individuals seeking such care, largely is being addressed with implant retained and/or supported
prostheses. This approach to rehabilitation has revolutionized the ability to restore and normalize
function in the face of very challenging anatomical compromise/loss. In most instances, the team
approach to treatment that involves an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a maxillofacial
prosthodontist , a Dentist and a Denturist. The strategy and techniques of rehabilitation of the
Oral and Maxillofacial patient are directly related to the location of the defect and to the extent and
type of surgical intervention. Today it is possible to restore most patients to nearly normal form
and function, enabling them to lead useful and productive lives. However, successful outcomes
9
require close interaction among many health care disciplines. Multidisciplinary approach with
insights into the latest developments in maxillofacial prosthetics, reconstructive surgery , and dental
care will be reviewed. The Attendee will take away practical knowledge of state-of-the art of
multidisciplinary treatment approaches
Robert Salisbury – Bio and course description
The myth of the golden proportion and smile design
Participants will learn smile design techniques in relation to the mythical Golden Proportion.
Why is this proportion described as the starting point? Why does it not work mostly?
Participants will be allowed to see how this proportion is usually not the selected proportion.
Robert Salisbury worked with LVI before it was LVI.
We called Neuro Muscular occlusion just a restful position back in the 80s.
Working with the founder of LVI in the late 80s and restoring Star studded Hollywood Stars such as Frank
Sinatra and Samy Davis junior we just improved smiles by design in Nevada where they performed and
where I lived. I continued restoring mouths in Edmonton with the likes of Peter Pocklington and Max Ward
of Ward Air airlines as well as Burt Reynolds.
What other ratios are the ones to choose?
How does this relate to implants? A very small portion! This course is a starter on the next leg of your
smile journey.
Robert is a long time student learning every day (I mean every day) from casework that is shared by his
customers in Northern Alberta that share in the same treatment philosophy. He works in a team that
includes Denturists, Dentists, Specialists, assistants, Hygienists, office managers, and Lab Technicians. I
graduated Western Nevada Community college in 1985 and worked with my father who is registered in the
Alberta Denturist association in 1961.
Do no Harm is a mantra from Branemark that he shares.

Value is what you get

Presenter: Deborah Kavalo
Deborah spent most of her youth in a small community in the West Kootneays before
moving to Kelowna. She graduated from Okanagan's Dental assisting program in
1987. Spent a couple of years working in private practice in the Okanagan before
moving to Medicine Hat Alberta where we enjoyed living for almost 4 years. For the
past 18 years I have enjoyed living and working in Calgary. Calgary has a very diverse
dental community when I had the great opportunity to learn and work with some
amazing people. For the past 4 to 5 years the dentists had to really upgrade their
sterilization protocols and it was up to the assistants to research and put together the
manuals required.
I was introduced to an amazing dentist who was a consultant for our dental offices
and the hygiene practices on all the IPC protocols. She encouraged me to put
together my manuals and my knowledge in sterilization into a small business. I have
been very passionate about making it as simple to do as possible and in a language
that people can understand.
Course Description

This course will include the following topics of discussion:



Sterilization Sundries
