TUITION: $25 (course for NJDA members only)

Course Overview:
This course is intended to give the dentist, hygienist, chair side assistant and the office coordinator the basic understandings of CAD/CAM dentistry. The information presented will aid the doctor in deciding if this method of fabricating “cast” and temporary restorations is correct for their office. In the age of the digital office, every doctor and staff member needs to know the basics of “one visit” dentistry and how this can be combined with other digital methods in the contemporary dental office.

Course Description
This program will provide an overview and history of the imaging modalities commonly used in implant surgery and their limitations. Cone beam imaging will be highlighted, specifically focusing on 3D imaging and how it has revolutionized the way dentists plan surgical treatment. Cone beam imaging allows doctors to visualize the 3D topography of the planned surgical site and, in conjunction with third party modeling software, allows the surgeons to pre-plan implant locations and trajectories as well as anticipate graft needs. This technology is beneficial in patient communication, allowing patients to better visualize their problem and see the virtual treatment plan, aiding in increased patient understanding and case acceptance. The presentation will provide the basics in software planning and the relation to the surgical procedure -- specifically integration with the guided surgery modules.

Course Overview:
This program is also designed for those wishing to develop a complete understanding of the relationships between restorative dentistry and periodontal supporting structures. Exquisite restorative outcomes are a result of their relationship to the periodontium. This program will detail the foundational principles and present a step by step process to ensure consistently excellent outcomes in treatment planning and treatment of everyday restorative dentistry. This is essential to long term stability of the hard and soft tissues as well as teeth and cosmetic outcome. It is applicable to the most complex perio/restorative reconstructions. This program is also designed to manage dental hypersensitivity. Dentifrices are the most common treatment for desensitizing agents.
