A colleague once told me the difference between a good dentist and a great dentist is a minute along with a
few hours of good continuing education. Jewels you can use on Monday is a series of clinical techniques,
used by key opinion leaders in dentistry, to streamline and make your practice more productive. This
program is designed for everyone from the dental student to the veteran practitioner about to retire. I will
demonstrate how to incorporate Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD) into your practice, restore the difficult
class II posterior composite, obtain perfect impressions, and simplify the porcelain fused to metal crown
repair process. You will learn how to restore the tooth with a large open box or missing cusp back to proper
form and function. You will see there are no excuses for a less than perfect impression. Learn how to
manage bleeding and saliva. Upon completion of this course you will have a better understanding of what
techniques and materials you can seamlessly incorporate into your practice. I will give you systems that
allow you to work faster and more efficiently saving you thousands of dollars per year.
Upon course completion, you will:
 Be exposed to Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD) and how to use it in daily practice.
 Understand how to restore the difficult class II composite restoration.
 Know how to control the flow of saliva and bleeding.

Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) has been widely used for dental implants, TMJ assessment, orthognathic surgery,
third molar extraction, sleep apnea study, orthodontic and endodontic treatment planning, and other oral
and maxillofacial diagnoses. Therefore, more and more dentists and dental specialists adopt CBCT
technology in their practice. However, unlike traditional intra-oral and extra-oral radiolography, CBCT
provides detail three-dimensional imaging not only in the traditional dental and maxillofacial region, but also
in nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, upper neck, Temporal bone, orbits, skull base, and cervical spine.
Familiar with anatomy and common pathology in these extended areas would help both patients and
dentists.
Upon course completion, you will:
 Have fundamental knowledge of CBCT anatomy, variation of normal anatomy, CBCT appearances
of common pathology, as well as common incidental findings in the traditional dental and
maxillofacial region, and its extended territories, such as, nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, upper
neck, skull base, and cervical spine.
 Be familiar with common applications and national and international guidelines of CBCT.
 Be familiar with radiation safety and liability issues of CBCT.

Everyday dentistry can present us with challenges for ordinary clinical problems. Bioactive materials have
changed the way we practice dentistry. Bioactive materials include remineralizing materials, calcium
containing pulp capping agents, and glass ionomer restoratives. The primary uses of bioactive materials is
in vital pulp therapy and remineralizing. Vital pulp therapy is a critical aspect of all restorative treatment.
The goal during the placement of any restoration, is to best maintain a vital and healthy pulp. There are
times when vital pulp therapy includes those clinical situations where the pulp is at risk due to trauma,
caries, or the placement and replacement of restorations over the restorative cycle of the life of a
restoration. Although controversial, with the introduction of newer Portland cement materials, the treatment
of asymptomatic, carious, vital teeth with pulp capping vital pulp therapy for mechanical and carious
exposures can have levels of success. Even with initial success the patient should also understand that the
tooth is still at risk for need for endodontic treatment at a later time. This program will present an overview
of the evidence on the latest generation of Portland cement materials used for vital pulp therapy and
decision-making and clinicial techniques for the use of these materials. Recent advances in remineralization
therapies and glass inomer have changed the way we treat carious lesions. The increase in the aging
population have created challenges due to root caries for restoration in cervical areas and adjacent to
existing extensive restorations. Fiber reinforced composites provide alternative treatments for missing
teeth, tooth reinforcement and periodontal splinting. Clinical techniques using fiber reinforced composites
will be presented. After each presentation there will be a hands-on participation using the materials that
have been presented. NOTE: Each participant will need to bring with them the following dental instruments:
Amalgam condensers; PFI; Cotton pliers; Amalgam carrier; Composite compule gun; explorer.
Upon course completion, you will:
 List the categories and indications for bioactive materials
 List the indications for vital pulp therapy
 Describe techniques and materials for successful vital pulp therapy
 List indications for remineralizing and fluoride releasing bioactive materials
 Describe techniques for successful use of glass ionomer restorative materials
 List the indications for the use for fiber reinforcement composites
 Describe the techniques for predictable fiber reinforcement for periodontal splinting, tooth cross
splinting and single tooth direct placement fixed partial dentures

treatment. Specific topics to be covered include: (1) ideal placement of teeth in preparation for dental
implants (e.g. in agenesis cases), (2) positioning of peg latTerals for veneers/crowns, (3) bone resorption
issues for the orthodontist and restorative dentist in preparation for dental implants, (4) diagnosis and
treatment of complex multidisciplinary cases, (5) periodontal considerations, both functional and esthetic,
and (6) Invisalign in the general dentist’s office. In the afternoon, early treatment will be discussed,
including (1) simple appliances general dentists can do in their offices, (2) ankylosis, and (3) early treatment
appliances such as expanders, headgears, lip bumpers, and facemasks. There will be many take home
pearls to use the next day in your office, and participants are encouraged to bring records of challenging
cases they have questions about.
Upon course completion, you will:
 Learn management of agenesis cases, specifically when to close or open spaces.
 Learn ideal orthodontic positioning of teeth in preparation for dental implants.
 See examples of how to achieve beautiful restorative work, such as veneers, bonding, and
whitening, after orthodontic treatment.
 Learn Invisalign tips and what cases should be easily managed by a general dentist.
 Learn what to look for on pediatric patients, such as cross-bites, impactions, thumb/tongue habits,
ankylosis, and Class II and Class III malocclusions.
 Have a better understanding of what simple appliances and early treatment can be easily done by
a general dentist.

This program will escort the student through the evidence-based process that develops a therapeutic model
for Dento-Facial Esthetic/Cosmetic examination, diagnosis, treatment planning and work execution taught
and practiced by the speaker. Predictably superior results will be achieved using the “rules and tools” of this
therapeutic model, as judged through the eyes of the patient. Actual patient treatment cases will be used to
illustrate the lessons described.
Upon course completion, you will:
 Understand the viewing distances and visual limitations of Esthetic Dentistry.
 Learn to see what patients see when looking at their teeth and smile and why it is so important for
the dentist to understand and master this perspective.
 Learn to appreciate the most important single determinant in Dento-Facial Esthetic Dentistry and
how to measure it.
 Learn the 6 “rules and tools” of the therapeutic model described in this course, and how to begin
applying them in your next practice workday!
 Learn how to gain enthusiastic patient partnership through education, not sales.
 Learn the details of porcelain veneer preparation, provisional restoration, insertion and
maintenance taught and practiced by Dr. Greenberg.
 See how the principles of Periodontal Prosthesis support the practice of Esthetic Dentistry.
