Perry E. Jones, DDS, MAGD
Ryan Jones, DDS
Learn the step-by-step workflow for intraoral scanning and in-office milling, and the benefits it provides doctors and patients. In this hands-on experience, participants will take a digital impression, create digital crown designs and observe a state-of-the-art, in-office mill fabricate a single-appointment restoration.
Sleep Dentistry: Patient Screening and Fitting the Appliance
Suzanne Haley, DMD
Learn how to recognize and screen for snoring, bruxism and obstructive sleep apnea, and determine how to choose the correct oral appliance for each situation. Participate in a hands-on demonstration of sleep screening, and master the clinical procedures required for fitting sleep appliances.
Esthetic Veneers: Tooth Preparation, Material Selection and Bonding
Anamaria Muresan, DMD, ME, CDT
Steven Barrett, DDS
Christopher Pescatore, DMD
Learn the various types of tooth preparation techniques used for veneer cases and when each type is indicated based on the patient’s goals and the chosen restorative material. Refine your skills in esthetic dentistry during hands-on participation by preparing typodont teeth for veneer restorations.

Maximizing Implant Stability in Compromised Bone
Randolph R. Resnik, DMD, MDS
This hands-on session will introduce you to the Misch classification system for bone density and the importance this variable plays in the treatment planning process. Learn how to modify your surgical and restorative protocol based on bone density and biomechanical forces. Participate in an interactive exercise by placing implants in models of varying densities.
Atraumatic Extraction, Socket Preservation and Surgical Placement of Implants
Timothy F. Kosinski, DDS, MAGD
David Hochberg, DDS
Juan D. Cardenas, DDS
Explore the tools and techniques of atraumatic extractions, discover the effective methods for preserving bone and learn the practical, step-by-step protocol for the surgical placement of implants.

Full-Arch Implant Solutions
Paresh B. Patel, DDS
Take an in-depth look at the latest full-arch implant solutions, from overdentures to monolithic zirconia fixed implant prostheses, and understand the clinical considerations, treatment protocols and advantages of each restorative option. Participate in a hands-on experience with the conversion of a removable denture to a fixed provisional.
Digitally Guided Implant Placement
Charles Schlesinger, DDS
Discover the clinical advantages of digitally guided implant placement and learn the workflow from diagnosis, to digital treatment planning, to delivery of the final restoration. Participate in model-based exercises using a guided surgical kit and surgical guide to place implants.
Mini Implant Indications and Placement
Raymond Choi, DDS
Understand the indications and contraindications of small-diameter implants. Learn how to use CBCT scanning for small-diameter implant dentistry, and participate in a model-based, hands-on surgical session demonstrating the techniques and protocols for providing predictable, efficient and profitable treatment using small-diameter implants.
