Let’s Talk: Stepping Out From Behind the Front Desk to Engage Patients and Build Relationships

Lisa Marie Spradley, FAADOM

Daily front office tasks should never take the place of focusing on the patient and new patient phone calls shouldn’t start with a script. Converting calls to appointments is as easy as making an excellent first impression. A motivated, well trained front office team is crucial to providing the best first impression possible. Confirming appointments, filing insur-ance, and processing incoming mail are a byproduct of patient care.

Oral cancer is among the 10th most common cancers in the world but there is little publicity regarding this deadly disease. Oral cancer has a death rate higher than cervical, liver, brain, kidney, or ovary cancer. The key to survival is early diagnosis as stage one has a five year survival rate of up to 95 percent. Studies have shown the dental professional are the key to early detec-tion but often do not think of cancer enabling the increase of the number of lawsuits pursued by patients due to delayed/failure to diagnose. This lecture will provide a comprehensive overview of risk factors including HPV. An overview in assessing high risk le-sions, when to consider biopsy, how to biopsy and when and how to refer when there is concern of malignancy will be discussed. Imaging, surgical management, radiation and chemotherapy will also be briefly covered as relevant to the general dentist.

Learning Objectives: • Overview of Risk factors including HPV – what to recommend to patients • Be comfortable assessing a lesion for its likelihood of malignancy, how to biopsy and when to refer • Become familiar with global and USA oral cancer statistics including the importance of early detection

Dental diseases are not classic infections. New molecular techniques demonstrate caries and periodontal disease are manifestations of dramatic, sustained shifts in microbial ecology that overwhelm the host immune system. Microbes, once thought to be key players, may play a minor role while relatively unknown species, or even entire mi-crobial communities, can increase virulence, sustain acid pro-duction, enhance inflammation and continue tissue destruc-tion. Homeostasis still remains the ultimate goal. New disease concepts are changing the conversation and challenging how dental disease is viewed today.

TABLE CLINICS/AGD HOWARD PRIZE AWARDS The Post-graduate residents in the Advanced Education in General Dentistry, a 12-month program at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) will present table clinics outside the Exhibit Hall on Thursday, June 16from 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm. AGD Howard Prize Award winners will be announced on Thursday.

How to Prevent, Diagnose, and Manage Patients with MRONJCPT John Combs

This table clinic will assess the risk factors and incidence of developing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients exposed to antiresorptive and antiangio-genic medications undergoing dentoalveolar procedures. We will also review how to effectively diagnose and manage pa-tients who develop MRONJ.

Gingival RecessionCPT Daniel Dipirro

Gingival recession is a prevalent problem in our population that can lead to sensitivity, decay, and contribute to tooth loss. Dentists should be knowledgeable about this topic so the ap-propriate treatment can be offered to patients. This table clinic will review the etiology, prevalence, risk factors, and treatment options for gingival recession.

Oral Appliance for Obstructive Sleep Apnea SyndromeCPT Kevin Goles

Slight to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can be effectively managed and improved with a removable oral appliance as an alternative to continuous positive airway pres-sure (CPAP). This table clinic investigates and provides a step-by-step fabrication of a Thornton Adjustable Positioner (TAP) with the use of a George Gauge as a treatment modality for OSAS.

Etiology, Diagnosis, and Clinical Management of Painful Traumatic Trigeminal Neuralgia (PTTN)CPT Mary Hamilton

Dental treatments may induce iatrogenic injury to neural tis-sue and cause neuropathy and/or neuropathic pain. This table clinic will investigate the etiology of PTTN, tools for diagnosis, and different options of clinical management techniques for pa-tients with intractable pain due to PTTN.

An Introduction to Bulk-fill CompositeCPT Joan Hong

Composites are increasingly becoming the mainstay for direct restorations. However, the depth of cure can be questionable, es-pecially in restoring the proximal box of class II restorations. Bulk fill composites may be the solution to this problem. This table clinic will discuss bulk-fill resin restorations and will include tech-niques, indications/contraindications, advantages/disadvantages, and how they compare to traditional composite restorations.

Tooth-implant Supported RestorationsCPT Andrew Janiga

For years, the concept of fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) sup-ported by both natural teeth and implants has been debated with a general consensus that these FDPs should be avoided due to the differences between teeth and implants. This table clinic investigates the practice of using tooth-implant support-ed fixed dental prostheses, along with a clinical case study.

Restoring Molars with Endocrowns Using CERECCPT Richard Lauderback

Endocrown is a quicker and more cost-effec-tive option to the post/core and crown restoration when restoring endodontically treated teeth. This research-based discussion includes indications for the endocrown as well as a clinical evaluation of its fracture, failure rate and clinical feasibility.

Implant Surgical GuidesCPT Chase Wootton

Dental implant is becoming the standard of care for replacing missing teeth, and the implant surgical guide can be a beneficial tool for predictable surgi-cal and prosthetic outcomes. This table clinic dis-cusses simple and complex surgical guides, which can aid both novice and experienced clinicians.

Direct Posterior Composites: Balancing Esthetics, Efficiency & Long-Term Performance

Michael Sesemann, DDS

Thursday, June 16 from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. • Code 6 CE Credits: 3 Hours Fee: $275 Limit: 50 Room: Hyatt, Cascade Tower, Larch

Direct posterior restorations play a significant role in daily dental practice. Predictable and successful outcome from res-in composite restorations remains to be the main concern for many practitioners primarily due to the technique’s sensitive steps required for proper placement. New techniques are often suggested to reduce procedure steps, but mostly at the expense of the quality and longevity of restorations. However, new ad-vancements in resin and photo-polymerization technology al-low us to be productive without compromising quality. This workshop is designed to outline the principals in pro-viding successful quality restorations utilizing advanced chem-istries and resin technologies. We will also focus on proper adhesion protocols and establish proper form and function uti-lizing a new bulk-fill resin composite material.

Learning Objectives: • Understand proper adhesion protocol and application techniques in bulk-fill direct placement protocols • Learn the spectrum of indications for bulk-fill resin composite materials • Understand proper placement techniques to achieve optimum contacts and anatomy

Infection Control

Infection Control in Dentistry - Doing It By the Rules

Terre Harris Thursday, June 16 from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. • Code 50CE Credits: 3 HoursFee: $65 Limit: 100Room: Hyatt, Olympic Tower, Evergreen HI What’s fun about an infection control seminar? Not much - un-til you combine it with video, quick review responses to “What’s Wrong with this Picture” and the interactive energy of audience participation. When it’s done right, it’s educational and entertain-ing. WISHA considers the CDC recommendations “industry accept-ed practices” and expects workplace infection control programs to be implemented in every dental office. Unfortunately, because they are just recommendations many offices don’t know what they’re expected to do. If WISHA walks in, citations and penalties usually aren’t far behind. This session will bring you up to speed.

Learning Objectives: • Better understand the “What and Why” of infection control regulations • Review accepted disinfection, barrier protectono, and sterilzation procedures • Learn what WISHA, the Dental Quality Assurance Commision (DQAC), and the CDC expect about the basic rules of infection control

DECOD Dental Education in the Care of Patients with Disabilities (DECOD)

Kimberly Espinoza, DDS


Patients with developmental and acquired disabilities often have difficulty accessing needed dental care. The UW DECOD Program, one of the longest running special care dentistry edu-cation programs in the country, trains dental and dental hy-giene students, graduate students, residents and practicing den-tists in the care of patients with disabilities. This lecture reviews the mission and history of the DECOD Program, how DECOD approaches the assessment of patients with special needs, and how DECOD fits into the larger field of special care dentistry and general dentistry practice.

scientific evidence on plaque biofilms is impacting the preven-tion and treatment of peri-implant diseases. While newer dental implant systems have overcome many factors that contributed to past implant failures, complications still exist. Recognizing health vs. disease will enable you to develop treatment strate-gies to enhance patient success rates.

Restorative

The Biomimetic Laminated Direct Composite Resin Restoration

Grant T. Chyz, DDS Friday, June 17 from 3:00 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. CE Credits: 1 Hour Room: Hyatt, Cascade Tower, Juniper

Crowns are commonly utilized for teeth with failed or de-cayed large fillings, but crown preparations remove a significant portion of peripheral tooth structure. Composite resin alone may not optimally manage the stresses and may not adequately protect remaining tooth structure. Today, sufficient evidence exists to use dental reinforcement fiber to enhance composite restorations. Dr. Chyz will explain the concept of the biomimet-ic laminated direct composite resin restoration. He will review the supporting literature and explain why this restoration de-serves consideration. Clinical examples will also be presented.

Learning Objectives: • To consider the advantages of less invasive preparation designs • To look at the principles that support the use of fiber reinforcement for direct intercoronal restorations • To gain an understanding of the steps necessary to include fiber reinforcement with direct composite restorations

Minimally Invasive Sinus Surgery Hydraulic Sinus Condensing - Stages of Evolution from 1997 to Now

Leon Chen, DMD

Friday, June 17 from 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. CE Credits: 3 Hours Room: Hyatt, Cascade Tower, Auditorium

For many clinicians, inadequate alveolar bone height and anatomical features of the maxillary sinus complicate sinus lift procedures and placement of endosseous implants. This lec-ture will present a new internal crestal approach that addresses these issues. Sinus burs and condensers of increasing width are used in conjunction with pliable atraumatic bone grafting mix-ture and hydraulic pressure from a surgical handpiece. The risk of a membrane perforation is minimized when the surgeon’s tactile skill is administered in a two-stage process to first loosen and then graft bone particulate under the Schneiderian mem-brane. Threaded implants can then be placed in the same visit and secure via primary closure.

Learning Objectives: • Step by step Hydraulic Sinus Condensing (HSC) • How to perform HSC on the difficult sinus area • The 18 years follow up of HSC • In year 2020, the simple way of performing HSC at the time of extraction

Oral/Systemic Connection

Up In Smoke: Current Trends in Smoking Habits Affecting Oral and Systemic Health

Betsy Reynolds, RDH

Saturday, June 18 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. • Code 43CE Credits: 3 Hours Room: Meydenbauer 401-403


Americans are using a variety of smoke-producing tobacco and non-tobacco containing devices that are impacting modern day society in profound ways. The popularity of hookah bars and ‘little cigars’ (especially among young people) has renewed concern among oral healthcare providers that use of ANY to-bacco-containing product negatively impacts both oral as well as systemic health. The explosion in the use of electronic ciga-rettes (‘e-cigs’) has many concerned, as well. While e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, these devices have a mechanism that heats up liquid nicotine which turns into a vapor that smokers inhale and exhale. Because they contain no tobacco, e-cigarettes are not subject to U.S. tobacco laws—meaning they can cur-rently be purchased without proof of age and raises concerns that e-cigs may be particularly appealing to children and may encourage nicotine addiction among young people. Attendees will learn about the latest research regarding these ‘smoking trends’ in a relaxed forum designed for interactive learning.

Learning Objectives: • Recognize the ramifications of regular hookah use • Discuss ‘little cigar’ use and elucidate possible side effects • Assess oral changes associated with e-cigarette use • Examine the effects of nicotine exposure • Design appropriate smoking cessation therapies for implementation into the dental setting

As a dentist, you’re the expert on teeth, gums, and how the mouth works in concert with the body in terms of overall health. And while you know just about everything there is to know about the mouth, you may not know what your insurance needs are — and more importantly, how those needs will change depending on where you are in your career arc. Dentists just starting out need NORDIC Professional Liability, personal dis-ability insurance, term life, and individual medical in order to be fully covered. That’s where the expert staff at WDIA comes in. Matt, Kerri and Heath can guide and educate you about the types of coverage you need no matter where you are in your career.
