The Foundation for Airway Health brings together leading dental educators, scientific academy representatives, allied health organizations, and members of the public to offer information you and your dental team must know about unrecognized sleep/airway issues and what you can do to impact positive health change for patients. This year, the Foundation will offer a more interactive program to allow you to recognize hidden issues and develop treatment paths for care. Think you have an airway problem? Register early - yours can be one of the case presentations.
Poor sleep, chronic disease and inflammation, learning difficulties, performance issues, and behavior problems express unrecognized, ”hidden” airway problems. Currently, only 15% of airway problems are recognized. Dentists can and must play a front-line role in diagnosing and treating airway dysfunction. Attendees at the Airway Summit will learn about the emerging importance of airway health and sleep in dental practice, how to improve treatment outcomes, join the fight against chronic disease, and expand the professional practice in these areas.
Learn to:
screen patients for airway and sleep issues and follow ADA recommendations
understand the connection between airway and sleep issues and chronic medical and dental health disorders
be aware of how airway sleep issues affect growth, development, and learning
include airway and sleep screening for better outcomes in restorative dentistry
recognize the signs and symptoms of airway sleep issues in your patients when you return to your practice
The Foundation for Airway Health is a 501(c)(3). Founded in 2012, the Foundation for Airway Health is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness with the general public and the healthcare industry. Through its initiatives, the Foundation seeks to highlight the role of the airway in overall health and well-being for all and educate clinicians to recognize the role and importance of optimal airway physiology and sleep in health, development, performance, and function.
The Foundation for Airway Health is dedicated to helping the public realize their maximum potential by championing the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of airwayrelated disorders through collaboration, awareness, research, education, and access to care

Patency is one of the significant keys to endodontic success. For several reasons, it is a difficult step for many clinicians. Of course, root canal anatomy is a challenge but different from what most clinicians think. Close to 85% of the molars are not difficult to negotiate or reach patency. In the same way that a good craftsman knows how to use the correct tools, we as endodon- tists need to understand better our tools and how to use them to reach better results.

Description: At the heart of a great dental practice is certainly having exceptional clinical skills and the ability to deliver outstanding care. But eighty-five percent of the time spent with patients is communicating with them and fifteen percent of time with the patient is spent in clinical application. It’s one thing to have the clinical ability to treat the patient. It is another skill to be able to communicate effectively. If we don’t communicate effectively from the beginning of the patient engagement, we may never reach treatment acceptance and delivery of our care. Changing one word can change the course of the conversation. Learn six (6) Questions that Inspire Your patients to choose You.

Description:
Colgate Symposium: Precision Caries Prevention
The WHO’s recent “Global Oral Health Status Report” shows that almost half of the world’s population (45% or 3.5 billion people) suffer from oral diseases. Global cases of oral diseases have increased by 1 billion over the last 30 years. Untreated dental caries is the most common condition globally, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion people. This symposium will highlight caries preventive strategies, starting with improved oral health literacy. The use of fluoride-containing products available over the counter in toothpastes and mouthwashes and those administered within the dental office, such as prescription fluoride treatments and professionally administered varnishes, are discussed. Studies on Arginine revealing a newly discovered active agent to prevent caries by addressing the dysbiotic microbiome are shared. Strategies to encourage behavioral changes, including using connected technologies to engage and motivate people to improve oral hygiene, are presented. Finally, the importance of diet and nutrition is emphasized.
Learn to:
explore the burden, trends, and inequalities of untreated caries in the US, and discuss the need to transition to non-operative/preventive treatment of caries in clinical practice
review in-office and at-home caries preventive strategies available today, and the role of behavior change and connected technologies in improving clinical outcome
discuss present diet assessment strategies appropriate for the dental office and the importance of dietary counseling for caries prevention

Dentists are experts in diagnosing and managing diseases of the teeth and periodontium; however, most are far less comfortable with “non-dental” oral diseases. Similarly, physicians receive little dental and oral medicine training and are likely to refer their patients with oral diseases to oral health care specialists. For these reasons, it is not uncommon for a patient with an oral medicine condition to visit multiple doctors before receiving a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Dentists are responsible for providing comprehensive oral health care and must be familiar with the wide range of non-odontogenic conditions that can affect the oral cavity. This seminar provides a rational, concise, and comprehensive approach to patient evaluation and diagnosing and managing both standard and critical oral medicine conditions.
Learn:
the anatomy of the oral cavity and how to conduct a thorough soft and hard tissue examination and appropriate work-up
the spectrum of diseases that can affect the oral cavity, and how to generate a rational differential diagnosis based on history and clinical features

Description:
EDUARDO PICANCO, MS.C EL PRESUPUESTO EN LA ARMONIZACIÓN OROFACIAL El Presupuesto de los trámites en el área de la salud suele dejarse de lado en las graduaciones universitarias. Todo profesional que pretenda tener una oficina necesita necesariamente conocimientos sobre visión empresarial estratégica y gerencial. Dentro de este prisma, la cotización de los trámites debe verse dentro de la planificación financiera, que forma parte del plan de negocio, donde el profesional debe simular posibles modelos de negocio, con escenarios realistas de tasa de ocupación de su oficina y así, poder determinar la viabilidad (o no) de abrir tu oficina o clínica tan soñada. Dentro del modelo de tarifas inteligente, abordaremos los 7 centros de costo que hay que tener en cuenta a la hora de establecer cualquier precio.
ROGER KIRSCHNER, M.S. REESTRUCTURACIÓN EN ARMONIZACIÓN OROFACIAL Armonización facial utilizando los distintos materiales disponibles en el mercado. Reestructuración de rostros utilizando estándares y análisis de visagismo. Diferenciar los tipos de materiales indicados para cada región del rostro. Los materia- les tienen comportamientos diferentes, por lo que tenemos que tener las indicaciones correctas.
VANDA DOMINGOS, D.D.S. LA IMPORTANCIA DEL ANÁLISIS FACIAL Cuando evaluamos un rostro tanto en su vista frontal como de perfil, debemos reforzar nuestra visión para definir qué es realmente la “Belleza Facial”. Este enfoque debe desarrollar la capacidad de notar los detalles que son más eviden- tes, con un ojo entrenado para percibir cuán atractivo o no puede ser ese rostro. En odontología estética y ortodoncia, no basta con entender qué es lo que interfiere con la sonrisa, es necesario diagnosticar qué es lo que está fuera de lo común, para poder establecer un plan de tratamiento.
PRISCILLA PEREIRA, D.D.S. ARMONIZACIÓN OROFACIAL Una sonrisa bonita y saludable debe darse a partir del equilibro de los labios, músculos y la armonía facial del paciente. Existen tratamientos seguros y mínima- mente invasivos que busca el equilibrio de las expresiones faciales y de la anatomía del rostro. Ahora contamos también con una nueva herramienta que permite la neuromodulación de los músculos faciales, mediante el uso de la toxina botulínica y el relleno con ácido hialuronico que podemos ofrecer a nuestros pacientes.
LEANDRO RAGO DE SOUZA, M.Sc., D.D.S.
RINOPLASTIA NO QUIRURGICA POR LEANDRO RAGO La rinomodelación con ácido hialurónico es un procedimiento rápido, con resultados comparables a la rinoplastia, pero no requiere descanso de las actividades durante la recuperación. Nuestra presentación abordará la Rinoplastia No Quirúrgica - Método Leandro Rago, la cual ha demostrado ser una técnica segura, predecible, con un alto índice de satisfacción y mejora de la autoestima, con resultados extraordinarios y al alcance de cualquier clínico dedicado a la área estética.

KEVIN BOYD, D.D.S., M.SC. EARLY CHILDHOOD MALOCCLUSION AND NASORESPIRATORY DIFFICULTY Sub-optimal structural development of hard and soft tissues comprising the interconnected craniofacial and respiratory complexes (CFRC) can often preclude both optimal functions. Early Childhood Malocclusion (ECM-decidu- ous/early mixed-dentition dental/skeletal malocclusion phenotypes), such as transverse and sagittal hypoplasia, will seldom, if ever, self-correct and will also usually persist, worsen, and become associated with sleep and breathing co-morbidity behaviors.

THE EVOLUTION OF TMD FROM MYTHS TO MODERN CONCEPTS
The evolution of orofacial pain as a specialty was driven by the increasing body of scientific knowledge about pain in general, specifically that relating to the trigeminal nervous system. As pain is now known to be both a neurosensory and neuroimmune phenomenon, pain in the orofacial region may have its origins not only in somatic tissue but due to dysregulation within both the peripheral and central nervous system. This knowledge has not only pushed aside some of the myths about the origins of temporomandibular disorders, but has assisted in integrating novel therapies into the list of available treatments. This talk will set the stage for more in-depth discussions by the speakers.
Learn:
how pain is understood within the scientific community
how common myths have been replaced by scientific knowledge
JOHN DINAN, D.M.D., M.S.
HELP YOUR PATIENTS HELP THEMSELVES: SELF-CARE FOR TMD
Patient education, reassurance, and self-care plan implementation are fundamental to managing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and other forms of orofacial pain. During this course, attendees learn how to confi- dently discuss TMD signs, symptoms, and etiology with patients; learn how language can bolster patient self-efficacy while reducing catastrophizing about pain. A wide array of self-care modalities are explored, emphasizing how these individual modalities can increase patient self-efficacy and miti- gate the various factors contributing to TMD signs and symptoms. Attention will be placed on habit reversal therapy to reduce awake oral parafunction and diaphragmatic breathing training to balance autonomic function.
Learn:
the foundational knowledge of patient communication is necessary when treating TMDs
strategies of self-care needed to treat TMDs effectively

SLEEP BRUXISM: WHAT WE KNOW, WHERE OUR KNOWLEDGE FALLS SHORT, AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES
The mechanisms driving sleep bruxism remain unclear. Some researchers have classified sleep bruxism as normal behavior, while others suggest that sleep bruxism is a sleep-related movement disorder initiated by sleep fragmentation and microarousals in the brain. As a result of this knowledge deficit and the necessity to address the consequences of sleep bruxism, treatment selections may be driven not by evidence but by clinician experience. Oral appliances, medications, neuromodulators, and adjunctive therapies are discussed based on the best evidence that is currently available.
Learn to:
understand bruxism and its current definition
review current appliance designs
expand on alternate therapies beyond appliances

CARILLAS DE PORCELANA E INTEGRACIÓN EN DDS Durante muchos años el diseño digital de la sonrisa se ha entendido como el planteamiento de diferentes alternativas de tratamiento. Pero en la actu- alidad en el mundo, hay una gran confusión porque muchos piensan que el diseño de sonrisa es un tratamiento y lo compara con las carillas. Eso no es así las redes sociales informan erróneamente que es lo mismo, llevando a una gran confusión a pacientes y a jóvenes odontólogos que sin experien- cia reafirman esta falacia. El diseño de sonrisa es sólo una herramienta de pronóstico no es un tratamiento.

The real one-drill implant system is a game changer in the field of dental implants. This system has various advantages, such as reduced surgical time, less intra-and postoperative problems, and optimal primary stability for immediate implant procedures. This system’s core feature is step-locking, which offers exceptional primary stability. We simplify the procedure and decrease complexity by employing a single drill rather than many drills. We have effective systems in place to resolve any problems that may occur in circumstances when redirection or repositioning is required. Furthermore, we may execute five treatments in one with this technology, including extraction, bone grafting, sinus lift, implant implantation, and provisional restoration. The sinus membrane lift is done concurrently with the evidence-based implant, where autogenous bone graft material is delivered to the apical region of the implant. Overall, this ground-breaking implant system offers a tremendous improvement in implant dentistry, providing better efficiency, stability, and outstanding patient results.
Learn to:
the fundamentals of the one-drill implant system
the foundations of immediate implant, guided bone regeneration, and sinus lift surgery all in one setting

Myofunctional therapy is an exercise technique used to correct the function of the tongue and orofacial muscles for proper resting posture, speech, and swallowing. When an individual presents with an orofacial myofunctional disorder, often they present with an open mouth posture, a low and forward tongue resting posture, malocclusion, limited dietary repertoire, and other structural deficits. The function and use of the tongue influence an individual’s structure. A collaborative approach to long-term success is vital!

This seminar discusses the basic concepts of aesthetics and the use of illusions. A technique for creating invisible class III and IV restorations is covered. In the aesthetic zone, we are sometimes challenged because of spacing issues or patient desires. There may be too much or too little space to achieve a desirable result, or the patient’s expectations may be unrealistic. Cases illustrating techniques you can use in your practice daily are presented. Learn how to help your patient achieve more national results.
Learn:
techniques for invisible class III and IV restorations
This presentation describes attracting and retaining the best team in a drama-free culture. The plan to achieve practice success and growth should include empowering the team and implementing systems that build patient confidence. The doctor must clarify expectations so the team can function independently and take non-clinical responsibilities off the doctor’s shoulders. Improved methods and better leadership create a more robust culture that increases patient interest in more comprehensive care. It eliminates team turnover and makes working in practice more enjoyable and fulfilling for the doctor and the team.
Learn:
to differentiate your practice from others in your area
to create a positive culture and a more motivated team
to establish clear expectations to create an empowered team

The real one-drill implant system is a game changer in the field of dental implants. This system has various advantages, such as reduced surgical time, less intra-and postoperative problems, and optimal primary stability for immediate implant procedures. This system’s core feature is step-locking, which offers exceptional primary stability. We simplify the procedure and decrease complexity by employing a single drill rather than many drills. We have effective systems in place to resolve any problems that may occur in circumstances when redirection or repositioning is required. Furthermore, we may execute five treatments in one with this technology, including extraction, bone grafting, sinus lift, implant implantation, and provisional restoration. The sinus membrane lift is done concurrently with the evidence-based implant, where autogenous bone graft material is delivered to the apical region of the implant. Overall, this ground-breaking implant system offers a tremendous improvement in implant dentistry, providing better efficiency, stability, and outstanding patient results.
Learn to:

Patients who are told they need treatment can become resentful. When we connect with our patients emotionally, we can discuss the benefits of care, making them want it much more. Everything that we do should be focused on creating a higher perceived value. We will introduce an improved total patient experience beginning with a more welcoming initial phone call and a more impressive initial exam. Appropriate periodontal care is essential to creating the foundation of improved care. Invoking discussion of the oral-systemic connection also raises the perceived value of dental care. When patients ask questions about proposed treatment, the entire team must be on the same page with verbal skills to help the patients overcome their objections and say “Yes” to treatment. When this occurs, patients eagerly accept more of the care they need and refer others to the dental practice.
Learn:
to understand the team dynamic to increase treatment acceptance
to emphasize the benefits of treatment so patients want it
the oral-systemic connection to increase the value of dental care
the verbal skills to overcome patient objections to treatment

OLGA GNATOVYCH, R.D.H., M.Ed. ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES: OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL CARIES Dental caries or tooth decay continues to be one of the most prevalent infectious diseases and global public health issues today. There is ongoing research in the dental field in hopes of finding new treatments. One of the recent approaches investigated by healthcare professionals to enhance the treatment and prevention of dental caries is the application of synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). This program discusses the role of microbial pathogens in the caries process, defines antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and types of AMPs and their mechanism of action, and their opportunities in managing dental caries.
RAJ SHETH R.D.H., M.S. THE FUTURE OF DENTISTRY: SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE AS A KEY COMPONENT OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE DENTISTRY Dentistry is constantly evolving and seeking new ways to provide minimally invasive treatments to patients. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a promising tool for achieving this goal. SDF is a clear, odorless liquid used in Japan for decades to treat dental caries. The application of SDF is quick and painless, making it an excellent option for patients who may be fearful of traditional dental treatments. Additionally, SDF can potentially arrest caries progres- sion without drilling and filling, making it a valuable tool for minimally inva- sive dentistry. In the future, SDF will likely become an increasingly popular option for dental professionals as they seek to provide the best possible care to their patients while minimizing discomfort and invasiveness. This presentation is going to help dental professionals understand the role of SDF in the field of dentistry.
LORILEI D. KIRBY, B.S.D.H.E., R.D.H. INCREASING CLINICAL AND PATIENT ACCEPTANCE OF SILVER DIAMINE FLUORIDE APPLICATION THROUGH POST TREATMENT ESTHETIC PROCEDURES SDF is a cost-effective, non-invasive topical medicament that can arrest the caries process when applied to carious lesions. Although SDF exhibits excel- lent clinical efficacy in caries arrest, its potential to stain carious tooth struc- ture due to the formation of silver compounds on the tooth surface pres- ents an esthetic problem that limits its clinical use. This presentation will discuss the use of potassium iodide (KI), glass ionomer, and ultraviolet light to minimize tooth staining and enhance clinical and patient acceptance.

Title: Continual Saliva Monitoring (CSM): Dental’s Promise for Precision Healthcare- Daniel Weinstein
Lura Health has developed the first wearable sensor for salivary diagnostics for patients with chronic disease to non-invasively monitor their health using saliva as opposed to blood.Dental devices are truly ubiquitous. Hundreds of millions of devices are worn every day for everything from restoring, straightening, retaining, protecting, replacing teeth. These devices are in constant contact with saliva, which is increasingly recognized as a new frontier for health monitoring and diagnostics. Salivary testing gained prominence through genetic and viral testing, and new expansions include monitoring diabetes, kidney disease, hormones, and more. There is a broad overlap between blood and saliva, leading many in the medical community to proclaim that “saliva is the new blood of health diagnostics”. Imagine if there was a switch that could “turn on” all of these dental devices, allowing them to monitor the patient’s health, transforming them into medical-grade monitors. Lura Health is developing a tiny biosensor that plugs into dental appliances, monitors key health and disease markers in saliva, shares data directly to the patient’s phone, and syncs to the clinician’s PMS or EHR system. This technology brings medical/dental integration closer than ever before, positions the dentist at the center of patient care, and enables personalized, precision healthcare.

This is a 12-Hour continuing education program designed to satisfy the New York State Anesthesia / Sedation requirement. This is a 2-day, 12- hour course. To receive certification, you must attend both Tuesday and Wednesday programs.
12-HOUR NEW YORK STATE ANESTHESIA SEDATION REQUIREMENT PROGRAM
This program is designed for the general practitioner as well as all specialists. Everyone from the first-year dental student and your receptionist to the veteran about to retire will benefit from this course. Today many of our patients treat their anxiety by self-medicating or expecting us to offer them a magic pill. There is no simple solution, but the clinician shows you how to be proactive and avoid serious complications. This program demonstrates, through case studies, how utilizing TLC, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, Anxiolysis, Oral and I.V. Sedation can help and manage the apprehensive patient. We will also role-play and simulate dental office emergencies. A significant amount of time focuses on airway management by the solo operator or as a team member working with an anesthesiologist. Everyone participates in hands-on workshops with various airway adjuncts to treat airway emergencies. Treating the apprehensive man, woman, or child can be very rewarding. When appropriately managed, they remain loyal for life and often refer to their friends and family. Everything from tender loving care to general anesthesia will be covered. Other courses teach you how to medicate, communicate and delegate. This course pulls it together and satisfies the NYS-mandated 12-hour C.E. requirement in enteral, parenteral, and I.V. sedation.
Learn:
to understand how to manage apprehensive children and adults effectively
to recognize the difference between Anxiolysis, Minimal - Moderate Sedation, Deep Sedation, and General Anesthesia
a review of medications commonly used in dentistry*
early recognition of airway problems and corrective techniques
how to perform dentistry on a sedated patient with an open or compromised airway*
the management of anesthesia complications and related emergencies for adults and children*
to determine which additional training is suitable for your practice
*Topics include but are not limited to satisfying the NYS 12-hour C.E. requirement.

The truth is, the perfect practice is not the one with perfect reviews; it’s the one that deals with reviews perfectly. So what’s the perfect response?
Learn:
why your online reputation is essential (and how it impacts profits)
to handle negative reviews
why it’s better to embrace negative reviews
how to create systems in your office to get patients to write positive reviews
