Dear CE Customers, Alumni, and Friends:

This spring/summer edition of the LSU Continuing Dental Education Course Guide supplements the 2011 CE fold-out wall calendar and course listing we sent you at the end of 2010. Although this issue lists all remaining 2011 courses, its primary focus is to describe each of the CE courses scheduled for the next four months. In future issues, we will keep you up to date on new and planned CE courses, what’s new at the dental school, and other news of interest to alumni and dental practitioners.

Thanks to your support over the past two years, LSU CDE has increased from three to seven the number of cities in which it regularly schedules CE courses in Louisiana. Now, in addition to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, we’re regularly scheduling CE courses in Shreveport, Monroe, Lake Charles, and Alexandria. In this same time period, the number of CE courses scheduled doubled, and seven new CE courses — including a totally new forensic sciences conference — were introduced. This year’s forensic conference is featured on the cover.

Developing, scheduling, promoting, managing, and evaluating the performance of all LSU CDE courses is a tremendous group effort: no one person makes it happen. My hardworking CE staff; our talented resource partners/consultants in graphics, writing, printing, information technology, audio visual, and course management; the board members of the Louisiana Academy of Continuing Dental Education, Inc.; and the dean, faculty, and staff of LSU School of Dentistry all play critical roles. Thanks to each of you.

LSU CDE’s primary measure of success is the extent to which we are helping you and your staff reach your highest potential. Please let us know how we’re doing. Your recommendations, suggestions, and comments are important.

Sincerely,

Robert M. (Bob) Leaman, MBA Director, LSU Continuing Dental Education

P.S. We’re happy to announce the first ever LSU Day in Arkansas (July 22) – a new CE course to be held annually in Hot Springs. Don’t miss Dean Henry Gremillion, DDS, MAGD, present The Many Faces of Orofacial Pain. Come early and have breakfast with the dean.

Local Anesthesia for Dental Hygienists Session 1 of 3Course #23-11Michael E. O’Brien, DDSFrank Drongowski, DDS72 total hours clinical CDE credit(lecture and participation)(Session 2: July 22-24; Session 3: August 19-21)Friday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Saturday: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Sunday: 8:00 am - 12:00 noon

Tuition: $1,265 Dental Hygienists Only

The objective of this course is to train graduate dental hygienists in the safe administration of local anesthesia of the oral cavity under the direct supervision of a licensed dentist. This is accomplished through three course components: classroom lectures, clinical experience, and home study. The course is designed and structured to satisfy the requirements of the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry as defined in Rule 710.

Classroom Lectures

Expanded Duty Dental Assistant (EDDA) is offered multiple times in three locations throughout the state.



Classroom lectures are designed with sensitivity to hygienists’ need to juggle work, home, and continuing education. To make the best use of classroom time, students invest considerable time preparing for the non-clinical portion of the course. This is done by completing assigned readings and answering workbook questions. A pretest on the workbook questions is given as the first portion of the classroom lectures’ component of each of the three course sessions. Each pretest counts as 25 percent of the grade for each session. A passing grade must be achieved for each session before the student can advance to the next session.

Clinical ExperienceClinical experience requires:• More than 40 supervised injections

with workups, including medical history evaluations

• Verbal medical history confirmations and update evaluations

• Clinical evaluations (observations and vital signs) by dental hygienists

• Determination of the appropriateness of local anesthesia administration to each patient

Opportunities to complete the clinical experience will begin following successful completion of the Dental Local Anesthesia portion of the course (Session II). Each student administers more than 40 injections during the clinical experience. The clinical competency section is graded as a pass or a fail. The student must successfully pass this section to complete the course.

Home StudyPrevious course attendees report that home study requires spending an average of 30 clock hours to prepare for Session I, 20 hours for Session II, and 20 hours for Session III. The cost of the books used in the course is covered by the course tuition. Books are shipped to all students after they register. The books required for the course are:Dental Management of the Medically Compromised Patient, 7th ed., Little, et al., and Workbook; Handbook of Local Anesthesia, 5 th ed., Malamed, and Workbook; and Medical Emergencies in the Dental Office, 6 th ed., Malamed, and Workbook.

June 10-12 (Friday – Sunday)

The phrase “the winds of change are blowing” certainly comes to mind when I reflect on the future of dental practice. There has never been a time in the history of dentistry when so many positive developments are occurring simultaneously. There has been an explosion of technological and procedural advances. Additionally, the general public’s awareness of the importance of quality oral health and its role in quality overall health is at its zenith. The amalgamation of the science with the art of dentistry has resulted from an enhanced appreciation for evidence-based diagno-sis and care.

Dentists and dentistry are leading the way in clinical and basic science research in many areas to include: materials sciences, molecular biological underpinnings of pathology in the masticatory region and beyond, implantology, sleep-related breath-ing and movement disorders, and pain mechanisms and pathways. Our profession is at the forefront in the establishment of a new and expanded mindset reflected in the dentist/scientist model. We will, because of this healthy perspective, move away from being viewed as a “cottage industry” by other health care disciplines and as-sume our role as leaders in the field of diagnosis and management of a multiplicity of maladies compromising the form and function of the masticatory system and, ultimately, the quality of life in our society.

The future of dentistry is one of individual and profession-wide introspection, co-discovery, and clinical relevance – a future in which dental education at all levels will blossom. The expansion of locations in which LSUSD Continuing Dental Education programs will be offered will provide much greater access to vital infor-mation that can directly and indirectly affect a change in the quality of life for those whom we are honored to serve, our patients.

Message from the Dean

Henry A. Gremillion, DDS Dean, LSU School of Dentistry

L AG DMasterTrak



receive increased attention as a result of the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry having issued a notice of intent that automated external defibrillators (AEDs) will be required in all Louisiana dental offices effective May 2012. The objective of this course is to teach you and your staff what the latest evidence-based recommendations are on what’s required to prevent, prepare for, and manage medical emergencies in your office.

Drawing on the latest science-based information compiled and presented by experienced LSU CDE and National EMS Academy faculty, you will be better prepared to review, revise, and/or establish new emergency protocols for your office and determine what specific hands-on emergency training, drugs, and emergency equipment you and your staff will need. This course is for the entire dental team.

Key topics presented include:• Why the subject of emergencies and

complications cannot be discussed too often or too thoroughly, and how the danger of becoming too complacent with a technique can invite problems to occur

• The importance of being aware of possible complications associated with a procedure so they can be recognized and managed, and why the need for emergency preparedness exists regardless of whether sedative techniques are use or not

• Why management of pediatric, geriatric, medically complex, and disabled patients requires a degree of knowledge and training beyond what is needed for the typical patient

• Guidelines for the development and contents of a basic emergency drug and equipment kit and drugs and items of emergency equipment recommended for dentists who do not use sedation and/or do use sedation techniques

• Why a team approach to emergency management is the best policy

• Why no other emergency preparatory step is as important as basic life support (BLS), and why dentists should mandate that all office personnel remain proficient in BLS techniques after receiving their initial course

• The role of advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS)

• Why the community EMS is normally the preferred source of immediate assistance in an emergency

Friday Only #30-11FRI ................... $360 Adult Only 8 clinical CDE credit hours

Saturday Only #30-11SAT ............. $180 Pediatric Only 4 clinical CDE credit hours

This course is designed to help perfect the skills of dentists who currently sedate adult and/or pediatric patients and to teach alternative techniques while satisfying the LSBD’s CE requirement to renew sedation permits. If you are taking this course to renew your permit, you are required to attend both days. If you are taking this course only for CE purposes (and not to renew your permit), you may attend both days or any one day.

Topics covered include: adult and pediatric sedation, emergency management, review of physiology and pharmacology, new guidelines and therapy protocols, case presentations, and a team approach to successful oral sedation appointments. Attendees will be polled before each topic to gauge their experience and competence. This is not a beginner’s course. Dentists who orally sedate patients will find this course interesting and helpful. Even if you only use anxiolysis, this course is informative and encouraging.

• Day 1 - Dr. Record, a general practitioner, will review pertinent information and refresher material. He includes examples of actual cases (good and bad) that offer useful clinical information to help you make more informed decisions.

• Day 2 - A half-day presentation by pediatric dentist Dr. Michael Webb,

focusing on how oral sedation is different for children, with recommendations and answers on what oral medications to give and why.

After completing this refresher course, dentists should have a clearer and more confident approach to orally sedating adults and children and be competent to perform oral sedation dentistry more safely. Also reviewed are some common problems with sedation dentistry: failed appointments, unsuccessful sedations (after many were successful), complications, post-op pain control, and more.

This one and one-half day course is designed to fulfill the Louisiana Dental Practice Act’s requirement to renew your sedation permit. LSBD requires each licensee to complete a board-approved course pertinent to the level of her/his sedation permit no less than once every five years. To obtain a sedation permit, LSBD requires completion of an enteral sedation introductory course (see April 29-30, 2011).

L AG DMasterTrak

LAGD MasterTrak and LSU CDEThe Louisiana AGD (LAGD) and LSU Continuing Dental Education (LSU CDE) are partnering in a special continuing education experience for AGD members. Certain LSU CDE courses offer special participation credits toward an FAGD or MAGD. The first courses to be part of the MasterTrak program were offered in February 2011. These included Dr. Michael Glick’s “Treating the Medically Complex Patient,” Dr. Robert Convissar’s “Laser Standard Proficiency,” and Dean Henry Gremillion’s and Dr. Dale Ehrlich’s “Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD): Current Concepts.” The MasterTrak option proved to be very successful, and there is already a waiting list developing for the next MasterTrak laser course.

Participation in the program includes a homework assignment that must be completed within a given time period following the LSU CDE course (usually within three to six months). When the assignment is successfully completed, the attendee will be awarded double credit hours (all counted as participation). You must sign up for the course and designate your intent for FAGD or MAGD MasterTrak credit. There will be a different fee for those doing the homework assignment.
