Chief among Dr. Hewlett’s teaching responsibilities is the predoctoral curriculum in Esthetic Dentistry at UCLA. His other teaching activities have included preclinical and clinical instruction in all aspects of restorative dentistry and postdoctoral seminars on adhesive restorative materials and dental photography. He has been honored for his teaching efforts with awards from several graduating classes, including the Instructor of the Year award from the Classes of 2000 and 2004. Dr. Hewlett’s teaching has additionally been recognized with the 2004 National Dental Association/Colgate-Palmolive Faculty Recognition Award and an award from the UCLA Chapter of Alpha Omega dental fraternity.

Dr. Hewlett’s research efforts have been devoted to the areas of restorative dental materials and dental health services. His bibliography includes numerous scientific articles and abstracts in peer-reviewed journals, as well as 2 book chapters. He has presented over 175 invited lectures and courses on adhesive restorative dentistry materials and techniques both nationally and internationally. He has served as a member of the U.S Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Dental Products Panel and a Health Science Consultant to RAND in Santa Monica. He has also served as an editorial reviewer for the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, grant reviewer for the National Institutes of Health, and contributing editor to the Journal of the California Dental Association. Dr. Hewlett currently serves as a Consumer Advisor (media spokesperson) for the American Dental Association and an Editorial Team Member for Reality – an annually-published information resource for esthetic dentistry. His memberships in professional societies include American Dental Association, National Dental Association, International and American Associations for Dental Research, Academy of Operative Dentistry, American College of Prosthodontists, and the American Dental Education Association.

“STICK to the Basics! – The Secrets to Predictable Adhesive Dentistry”

Ever wonder why the same material or technique works for some patients but not for others? If so, you’re not alone. Today’s adhesive technology enables dentists to provide restorative care with minimal invasiveness and stunning esthetics, but the complexity of the materials and the clinical variables that affect their performance is often underappreciated. This presentation will provide attendees with a path through the hype to arrive at sound, practical, evidence-based tips for maximizing restorative predictability. Learn how to select materials according to specific patient factors, how to place posterior composites more efficiently while eliminating post-op sensitivity, and more!

 

“Healing Dental Caries: The Minimal Intervention Approach”

Scientific breakthroughs enable dental practitioners to treat and cure diseases more effectively than ever. Better understanding of pathogenic and risk factors for dental caries have produced highly effective evidence-based protocols for risk assessment and management (including many non-invasive measures) of this infectious disease. As a result, the paradigm of caries management has shifted away from a reparative model to one focused on detection, risk assessment, and healing of early lesions. This presentation will provide dentists and hygienists with information and procedures for incorporating this important treatment concept into everyday practice.

“Digital Dental Photography”

Photography is no longer an option in clinical dental practice – it is arguably the standard of care. The photographic documentation of baseline status and treatment outcomes is becoming as commonplace as charting, radiographs, and traditional record-keeping methods. With additional applications such as patient communication, laboratory communication, marketing, and esthetic treatment planning, digital photography will have an immediate positive impact on your practice. This presentation provides an overview of the principles, equipment, and techniques needed to begin capturing and using digital photo images in your day-to-day practice.
