Dr Malterud is a 1983 graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and practices General and Family dentistry in St. Paul, MN. Dr. Malterud’s practice focuses on comprehensive cosmetic and general dentistry incorporating Minimally Invasive Biomimetic Dental Procedures. He Chairs the AGD’s Dental Education Council and is the Minnesota AGD’s Immediate Past President. He is a faculty member at The University of Minnesota Continuing Dental Education Department. Dr. Malterud is an active member of the ADA, and it’s state and local components and is active in various local and national dental societies and study club groups. He has trained at the L.D. Pankey Institute, completing their entire continuum on comprehensive dentistry, has received his AGD Mastership and Life Long Learning and Service Recognition award, and is a Fellow in the American College of Dentists. His commitment to dental education not only as a teacher but also as a student has him personally attending well over 150 hours of dental continuing education each year. His passions have enabled him to lecture both nationally and internationally. Some of his 2010 lectures include the University of Minnesota Post Graduate program in Esthetic Dentistry, the AGD’s annual meeting and the MNAGD’s Fall APEX Course. As an early user of the NTI splint he has had an opportunity to help refine its use and he consults with various dental manufacturers on product development and testing.

Lecture Topics

Predictable Biomimetic Minimally Invasive Restorations
(½ day lecture, plus ½ day hands-on optional)

 

This lecture will present the diagnostic and restorative protocols that embody the philosophy that the best dentistry is no dentistry. Early detection of caries and either remineralization or early restoration can set a tooth up for long term success. The materials, equipment and techniques that have lead to 25 years of resin bonding success will be explored. When the National Institute of Health prints that composite resins only last 5.7 years and the main reason for replacement is recurrent decay we need to step back and examine how this impacts our patients and practices. The reasons for this lack of success will be discussed and techniques for creating long term success will be taught.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. This course will delve into Caries prevention, identification and removal protocols that follow a minimally invasive biomimetic philosophy.
2. Minimally invasive preparation designs and equipment will be presented.
3. The course participants will understand Biomimetic restorative treatment protocols for more severely destroyed teeth to ensure long term success.
4. The course participants will learn strategies and techniques for predictable bonding.
5. The course participants will understand the rational behind isolation and ideally prepared surfaces to create bonding success.

Crowns in less than an Hour for creative problem solving
(½ day lecture, plus ½ day hands-on optional)

 

This lecture will present a technique of using a New Nanohybrid Heat and Pressure Cured Composite Crown shell to rapidly fabricate a quality long term restoration. By having this procedure in a dentists little bag of tricks, many of the day to day issues we deal with in your practice can have an easy solution that fits a patients budget or economic situation. Often, we are presented with challenges to provide quality care for our patients in the form of rampant caries control, emergency fractures or even the need for a restoration that has to be done that day. Couple these challenges with the economic restrictions placed on us by our patients, and you find yourself thinking hard about how to provide services that will accomplish a satisfactory resolution. By using a very inexpensive technique, that can be mostly delegated to your team members, an in office lab fabricated composite resin crown can be created that will help solve these issues. Using subtle variations of techniques, that our assistants are currently trained on to fabricate temporary restorations, allows these same team members to create a more permanent restoration.

 

Learning objectives:

1. The participants will be introduced to a new concept of fabrication of an in office laboratory composite resin crown that their team can accomplish in a very short period of time.
2. The participants will understand the many situations where the composite resin crown can help them provide their patients with a very viable lower cost alternative to their current crown techniques.
3. The economic viability of a resin crown will be discussed as to how it can be in many instances a better alternative to many practices than a CAD/CAM restoration.
4. The participants will understand the entire process of fabrication so that they can go back to their practices and begin to help their patients the following week not only with diagnostics but with the procedures that they can delegate to there team.
5. Hands on participants will actually have an opportunity to fabricate a crown from a prepared tooth on special models so that they will get the full experience of the process.

Restorative Centric, You need to start somewhere
(½ day lecture, plus ½ day hands-on optional)

 

This lecture will explore the use of an anterior midpoint stop splint (AMPS) as a starting point to deciding what directions to take a restorative case. By knowing where the joint wants to be in it’s most relaxed position allows us to establish records that can guide us along the restorative path to a beautiful healthy smile. Knowledge of the basic anatomy of the joint and muscles of mastication will be taught to help the participants understand the physiology of function and parafunction. An AMPS such as the NTI will allow not only establishing a restorative starting point but can help many of the patients in your practice who suffer from Migraines or tension headaches. This course will also cover the indications and contraindications of use of the AMPS and how the clinician can problem solve using the signs and symptoms that manifest from the devices.

Learning objectives:

1. The participants will walk away with a better understanding of joint anatomy and how the excess muscle activity can trigger tension headaches and migrainous activities
2. The participants will have a step by step approach to achieve predictable results from understanding a starting reproducible jaw position. Whether it is establishing the vertical dimension of occlusion for a denture or a full mouth reconstruction, these devices or a form of them, can be used to find a relaxed and patient comfortable position.
3. The participants will understand that there is a relationship between migrainous activity and nocturnal parafunctional activity and that this is all an extension of sleep disorders.
4. The participants will learn the steps to fabricate an immediate in office AMPS and how to adjust it properly. Once the efficacy of the device is established, a technique for creating a laboratory fabricated device will be taught, as many of these patients don’t want to go a night without wearing their AMPS and often desire a back up.
5. The participants will see varied uses of the device and understand how each of the different designs can help in creating a more comfortable patient.
