"State of the Art Impression Techniques"
Date: Thursday December 15, 2011Time: 7pm PST
CE Credits: 1 interactive CEU
Location: Webinar
As a dentist who practices within the largest lab in the U.S., I have access to tens of thousands of dentist’s impressions on a monthly basis. As a result, I have an intimate knowledge of the successful habits of dentists getting the best restorative results, and what holds other dentists back. My mission is to help dentists identify, correct and ultimately prevent fixed impression snafus. When dentists take better impressions they are happier, more profitable, and most importantly, the patient receives excellent restorative dentistry.
Course Objectives:
1) Be familiar with the definition of an ideal impression, and learn to recognize one before it is poured up.
2) Learn effective methods of tissue management, and tissue retraction in a vertical and horizontal direction.
3) Be familiar with the double arch impression technique, and the various tray/polyvinyl siloxane combinations that can produce excellent impressions and restorations.
4) Learn about digital impression systems: the features, benefits and shortcomings.
A 1988 graduate of University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, Dr. DiTolla was awarded fellowship in the AGD in 1995. Dr. DiTolla was recently awarded with the 2011 DrBicuspid Dental excellence Award for “Most effective Dentist educator.” Dr. DiTolla is a graduate of the LVI, and is also a clinical evaluator for CRA. In 2001, he became Director of Clinical Research and education at Glidewell labs, giving him an intimate knowledge of American dentists and their crown and bridge habits. Dr. DiTolla launched Chairside Magazine in 2006 and is the clinical editor of this quarterly publication that frequently presents his own clinical case studies, and writes a monthly column on restorative dentistry for Dental economics.

“Caries Management: Theories, Procedures and Reality.” The infective process of dental decay has been a primary focus of the modern dental practice. Mountains of dental literature exist to help explain this process and yet our patients still struggle with this controllable disease. What do we as dental professionals do to help our patients cope and manage this disease process? What procedures, techniques and materials can we use the slow down the process and perhaps reverse it? We know that the management of periodontal disease is a factor, but how can we make this aspect become more predictable? How do we stop “one step forward, two steps back” game?
This course will focus on the successes uncovered and developed by Dr. Comisi, and his dental team over the last twenty five years.

- Learn and implement, home care, office care and follow up that will enable you to provide the best care possible to your patient.
- Understand the stages of caries development and factors that contribute to its acceleration.
- Learn what materials and techniques can help you better manage the caries process.

"The Glass Ionomer Revolution: its place in minimally invasive dentistry
A hands-on experience"
- It has been said that the United States has had a glass ionomer barrier for many years. It has not been used as effectively here as it has been around the world. Perhaps this is due to unfamiliarity with the material and its varied uses.
- In this course the clinician explores the remin-demin process and caries progression; preventive care considerations and diagnostics that can help aid in caries detection; minimally invasive dentistry; the realm of composites and bonding systems and glass ionomers; and their place in today's dental care armamentarium. You will be introduced to a technique to be used in the placement of direct posterior restorations called the "Co-Cure Technique", which can transform the way you approach all your direct restorations.
- This hands-on course will explore Cariology, minimally invasive dentistry and how glass ionomer materials can and should be considered for use in your dental practice. The clinician will help you develop a greater comfort level for the many applications to use this versatile and important dental material in today's dental practice
