“COMPOSITE MIRRORING: Using 3 C’s- Contour, Color and Creativity to emulate
3-D Likeness”
Synopsis:
The art and science of direct composite restorations require the dentist to combine
both principles of esthetics and function in order to achieve long-term success. Subtle but essential steps will be discussed to maximize esthetics and minimize
sensitivity when placing these most conservative, least invasive, yet predictable
restorations to restore teeth to their original form and function. This presentation
will cover the basic physical properties of composites that will result in better clinical
outcome in Class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations. Step-by-step typodont and clinical
cases will be shown for each Class of restoration using various manufacturers composites. Emphasis is placed on direct composites in the esthetic zone such that every clinician can return to their
offices and place seamless restorations at a higher skill level.
Objectives:
Posterior Direct Bonded Restorations. (morning)
1. Discussion of adhesive dentistry: material and technique.
2. Evaluation of the various types of composite materials.
3. The proper armamentarium and material selection.

“Let’s Grow Tooth ...Excellent Clinical Dentistry Using Bioactive/Regenerative Materials”
(Lecture)
DESCRIPTION: Ever had a patient say “Doc, that tooth was never a problem until
you fixed it”? Let’s stop the madness. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could make
the tooth grow? With newer regenerative/bioactive materials we can stimulate
dentin healing and self-repair in our direct and indirect restorations all while
reducing sensitivity. We will learn indications for newer liners, bases, cements, and
restorative materials that encourage dentin repair, lessen sensitivity, and promote
a healthier oral environment. We will apply these newer materials in our direct
composite restorations while exploring matrix systems for predictable, tight, well
contoured contacts. We will also consider regenerative materials when doing dentin replacement
and cementation of durable esthetic indirect restorations like lithium disilicate and zirconia. We
will learn how to do it right the first time and to make the practice more enjoyable and efficient.
AFTERNOON COURSE:
“Cementation Sanity...Eliminating Most Of The Confusion And Problems With Indirect
Restoration Placement”
Description: Leakage, breakage, lost restorations, sensitivity, staining......oh my!
It’s a confusing dental world out there. If it failed was it the prep, impression, the lab, or the
dentist? Cement or bond, layer or monolithic, etch or no-etch, dry or moist, light or chemical
cure......? Let’s stop the madness. Ever had a patient say “Doc, that tooth was never a problem
until you fixed it”? Advances in durable tooth colored restorative materials means changes in
preparation and cementation techniques and it seems every day there is a new “gotta have”
material. Our goal is to end the uncertainty with these newer materials and learn how to have
the ultimate success with today’s indirect materials from planning to preparation to placement.
We will discuss the trendy durable indirect esthetic materials featuring zirconia and lithium
disilicate while focusing on clinical efficiency and long-term success by discussing the prep,
cementation, bonding, and adjustments. With a myriad of newer restorative materials and
seemingly endless choices in luting materials and bonding systems we will simplify things for
predictable clinical success with the most durable indirect esthetic materials EVER. We will learn
how to do it right the first time and to make the practice more enjoyable and efficient.

“Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office – Medical Emergencies in Life”
“Oral/IV Sedation for Dentistry: “How-to” Applications, Clinical Pharmacology
and Controversies”
Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office – Medical Emergencies in Life
As health professionals we must be increasingly aware that we are treating an
aging and pharmacologically drug dependent and ambulatory population. How can
we be expected to respond/react to life threatening situations when they “never
occur?”
Simplicity! Practical equipment adjuncts, a few good drugs, “red flags” of
predisposing medical conditions, vasoconstrictor interactions and local anesthetic
overdoses will be assessed. The syncope algorithm is universally applicable to
initially treating ANY and ALL emergencies. The team approach is emphasized.
Morbidity/mortality case reports, anecdotes including situations encountered in over 40 years in
dentistry will cover dental office, family, neighborhood, shopping center and sports experiences.
Learning Objectives:
After this presentation the attendees will be able to:
Appreciate the differences between true emergencies, urgencies, annoyances and non-events.
Comprehend the pharmacology of a very few drugs including oxygen and make an emergency kit.
Consider the physiological differences between the adult, the child and the senior citizen.
To address the question, “How can we be expected to treat a medical emergency when they “just
never happen” (or do they?).”
• Assess Case Reports, in the dental office and in day-to-day life.
• Acquire confidence in the standard approaches for any emergency, by knowing syncope
management and by doing mock simulations.

“Single Visit Endodontics on BOTH Vital and Non-Vital Teeth: Increase Success
While Increasing Profits”
Dr. Garry Bey teaches a technique for performing root canals in one visit
with greater success and more profit than a multi-visit procedure (for both infected and non-infected teeth). The advantages of one appointment endodontics are many, including less post-operative pain, fewer emergency visits and
greater patient satisfaction. This procedure can be learned quickly and can be
performed by most general dentists.
Drawing on his extensive experience of over 30 years in clinical practice, Dr. Bey
outlines endodontic diagnosis, quick and effective anesthesia, the creation of a glide path, and
the management of curved and calcified canals. Advanced nickel-titanium rotary instrumentation
techniques and apical negative pressure irrigation will also be addressed. A discussion on 3D
obturation will conclude the course. This exciting multimedia program offers solutions for treating
straightforward and complex endodontic cases in one visit.
Learning Objectives:
• Learn the protocol for single-visit treatment for both vital and non-vital teeth
• Identify the advantages of using apical negative pressure irrigation
• Understand the objectives of obturation
• Take away game-changing solutions to increase endodontic efficiency
Learn how to improve endodontic skills and perform root canal therapy more easily, successfully, quickly and profitably.

Clinicians who have adopted or use panoramic imaging and/or CBCT are
thrilled with the data for making more precise clinical decisions, but do you
know what you are seeing? Do you know what you might be missing? Is that
shadow anatomy? What if it’s pathology? I just got used to 2D images, now
I have to understand 3D!

“Risk Management”
Since the “malpractice crisis” of the mid-1980’s, Risk Management courses have been
developed throughout the country to educate dental practitioners about their legal, moral and
ethical responsibilities in relation to patient care. As a result of these courses, a significant
decrease was seen in the frequency and severity of malpractice actions against dentists.
While this improvement, coupled with the precipitous increases in insurance premiums,
made the malpractice insurance marketplace more attractive to insurance companies, the
incidence of claims continues to be significant. The continuation of Risk Management courses
serves the purpose of reviewing the basic legal requirements for office activity, introducing
changes as well as new aspects of the standard of care and discussing the ever-increasing restrictions and
requirements placed on dental practice by governmental and regulatory agencies.
Risk Management is a dynamic concept and is always changing. This course, given by Dr. Treitel, whose vast
experience in the world of malpractice litigation will provide the dentist with a recipe for office operation and
patient treatment that will minimize the opportunity to find themselves the object of litigation.
The topics covered will include:
• the current status of the malpractice insurance marketplace
• a review of the basics (i.e. recordkeeping, medical histories, legal responsibilities of practice, prophylactic
medications, etc.)
• an analysis of the types of cases currently being brought against dentists
• a review of techniques that can be used to assure good relationships with patients and address problems
that might arise.
• a discussion of governmental and regulatory guidelines that have been placed on dental practices
• what is new or anticipated in new challenges facing the dental practitioner that will require changes in
office procedures
Completion of this course entitles dentists to a discount on their liability premiums for a three year period
from OOB, TIG Insurance Company, MLMIC and many other insurance carriers providing coverage in the
New York and New Jersey Areas. Please check with your carrier.
Participants who successfully complete this seminar will receive a certificate of completion and four (4) CE
credits with the NYSDA Continuing Education Registry. Other states will also give CE credits for this course.
If you have not completed an approved Risk Management Program within the past three years, it is necessary for you to take this course in order to continue to receive a discount from your insurance policy carrier.

“ESX® NiTi Rotary Instrumentation and Obturation System, a new standard of
efficiency in endodontics”
Description: Lecture Presentation
The lecture segment of this two part presentation will concentrate on two areas. 1) How
to incorporate new material science, such as bioceramic technology and efficient rotary
instrumentation into your clinical practice, and 2) How to perform root canal therapy in such
a manner that you actually enhance the long-term prognosis of the tooth. The goal of this
program is to have all dentists learn how to perform endodontics in such a manner that they
can offer their patients a predictable way of preserving their natural dentition in the long run.
Included in the lecture component will be a thorough discussion concerning access,
non- surgical ultrasonic use, instrumentation techniques, and a new bioceramic obturation
method. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing endodontic synchronicity between a machined
preparation and a laser verified master bioceramic coated cone. Additionally, a new instrumentation and obturation technique (ESX® NiTi rotary instrumentation and Synchronized Hydraulic Condensation) will be introduced. All participants will have the opportunity to validate these concepts during the hands-on session.
During the lecture component, attendees will learn:
1 How endodontics can be precision-based.
2. The importance of preserving coronal radicular dentin.
3. The multiple benefits of developing “endodontic synchronicity” between a machined preparation and a master cone.
4. The multiple advantages of performing a constant .04 taper preparation.
5. The new “synchronized hydraulic condensation” technique featuring the use of bioceramic technology.
6. How the use of bioceramics can improve your surgical and non-surgical results.
7. Most importantly of all, how to perform endodontics in such a manner that you do not compromise the
long-term retention of the tooth. In fact, learn how to do endodontics so that you actually enhance the
long-term prognosis of the tooth.
Description: Hands-On Session
The hands-on session will provide participants the opportunity to use “Real World Endo “ techniques and to
witness first-hand, how they will change the way they practice endodontics. In addition to instrumentation
techniques, a demonstration will be done showing how to perform “synchronized hydraulic condensation.”
Time will also be dedicated to “Preventing the Separation of Rotary Files” and the use of piezo electric
ultrasonics will be available at all times.
During the hands-on session, participants will learn:
1. How to properly use the ESX® NiTi rotary file and instrumentation system.
2. The correct way to use an ultrasonic, in the pursuit of hidden canals.
3. The ease of use associated with “synchronized hydraulic condensation” technique compared to the
traditional obturation methods.
4. How to create synchronicity between instrumentation and a bonded obturation technique.
5. The multiple benefits of bioceramic technology in endodontics.
For the ultimate Real World Experience, attendees are encouraged to bring two to four accessed,
extracted teeth that are patent to the apex with a size 10 hand file.
NOTE: In order to participate in this hands-on session, it is necessary to complete the lecture program.

Synopsis:
Do all dentist Bond teeth in the aesthetic zone the same way? Is there one technique
that is better than others? Have you seen the unparalleled composite results one can attain
when using the 3D Characterized Layering Technique? This incremental layering technique
was introduced and published by Dr. LeSage in a 20 page Chapter in the Dental Clinics of
North America 2007 edition.
It is one thing to see, another to understand but as clinicians one needs to be able to fully
implement. Our patients, with so many resources to evaluate our results, are demanding
tooth preservation and highly esthetic outcomes. Learn this additive technique at a level
seen mostly through our master ceramists and veneers. Composite can rival porcelain with some additional
skill, come see and try for yourself.
Objectives:
1. First exercise will aid in your ability to see. a. Can you mirror contour and color from an esthetic Heraeus denture tooth?
b. Create polychromicity with a 3-D composite layering system.
c. Build 3-D the coronal aspect of a single denture tooth.
d. Establish a polishing system for high luster.
2. Second exercise will aid in integrating a CL-IV fracture into an anterior sextant typodont.
a. Continue to build on the skills learned in exercise one.
b. Emphasis will be on outline form and maintaining texture while attaining the appropriate polish.
3. Come explore and recreate the subtle nuances of enamel and dentin with Heraeus Venus Diamond
and Pearl composites.

“WORKSHOP for COMPOSITE MIRRORING: Using 3 C’s- Contour, Color and
Creativity to emulate 3-D Likeness” hands-on
Synopsis:
Do all dentist Bond teeth in the aesthetic zone the same way? Is there one technique that is better than others?
Have you seen the unparalleled composite results one can attain when using the 3D Characterized Layering Technique? This incremental layering technique was introduced and published by Dr. LeSage in a 20 page Chapter in
the Dental Clinics of North America 2007 edition.
It is one thing to see, another to understand but as clinicians one needs to be able to fully implement. Our
patients, with so many resources to evaluate our results, are demanding tooth preservation and highly esthetic
outcomes. Learn this additive technique at a level seen mostly through our master ceramists and veneers. Composite can rival porcelain with some additional skill, come see and try for yourself.
Objectives:
1. First exercise will aid in your ability to see. a. Can you mirror contour and color from an esthetic Heraeus denture tooth?
b. Create polychromicity with a 3-D composite layering system.
c. Build 3-D the coronal aspect of a single denture tooth.
d. Establish a polishing system for high luster.
2. Second exercise will aid in integrating a CL-IV fracture into an anterior sextant typodont.
a. Continue to build on the skills learned in exercise one.
b. Emphasis will be on outline form and maintaining texture while attaining the appropriate polish.
3. Come explore and recreate the subtle nuances of enamel and dentin with Heraeus Venus Diamond
and Pearl composites.

“Prescription Tray Delivery of Peroxides for Oral Biofilm Management:
The Science and the Practice”
Prescription tray delivery of medication into periodontal pockets as an adjunct
to mechanical or laser therapy can benefit patients with periodontal disease.
Research shows that this delivery combined with SRP leads to more significant
pocket depth and bleeding reductions than SRP alone. Attend this presentation to
learn the science behind biofilm development and the limitations of conventional
mechanical and antibiotic therapies in the oral cavity. Clinical trial data and
case studies will demonstrate how a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide
gel delivered in prescription trays can help struggling maintenance cases, refractory cases,
and patients with chronic periodontitis. Surgical candidates, patients with chronic systemic
inflammatory diseases, and dental-phobic cases will also be discussed.

“Where the Wild Things Are: Human Resources in the Dental Office”
Course Description: Dental school was the easy part. Now you are a practicing dentist and you have
to deal with dentistry itself, and the business of dentistry. Much of the success
of your practice is actually based on the first people and the last people your
patients encounter - your employees. Like it or not, you are the Director of
Human Resources. This three-hour session will provide you with what you need to know to be
comfortable as the Director of Human Resources. You will be provided with general and specific
information about HR in the dental office and hear some actual stories of things that have gone
wrong and how to make them go right. We will role-play common HR situations. Time will be set
aside for participants to ask about situations that they have encountered in their offices. At the conclusion of this course, you will know how to:
§ Choose strategic recruitment strategies to hire the right people in the quickest and least
expensive manner possible.
§ Interview (and be interviewed).
§ Motivate your employees to perform at a high level.
§ Decide when to interview and how to do it the right way.
§ Deal with employee relations within your office.
§ Understand and follow regulatory and legal requirements.

Madeline Wachs, MSILR, spent a significant portion of her childhood listening to conversation
about owning dental and medical practices and working in hospitals. She realized that so much
of practice ownership revolved around the business end rather than the patient end of practice. She became very interested in the people aspect of the practices.
Based on this fascination with the people part of their jobs, Ms. Wachs went to the University
of Maryland – College Park to pursue studies in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. She was
captivated by learning how employees were motivated, dealt with changes in the workplace,
interacted with others, and their general behavior in the workplace and embarked on a career
in Human Resources. She then went to school to earn a Master of Science degree in Industrial
and Labor Relations while working full time.
Currently, Ms. Wachs is practicing Human Resources Management. She started her career
in a large medical private practice with more than 150 physicians and 850 employees throughout
40 offices in New York and New Jersey. Recently, she took a step away from the medical and
dental worlds to practice Human Resources in a different setting. She has also been consulting
with small businesses of all types, including medical and dental practices. MW Advisors,
her consulting group, specializes in employee relations, recruitment and talent acquisition,
performance management, and disciplinary action. 32
