Lecture Topics

CREATING A COSMETIC PRACTICE WITHIN YOUR GENERAL PRACTICE
“Today’s general dental practice has many patients that are interested in improving the appearance of their teeth. This full day lecture is created to give an overview of the many different types of procedures and materials that can be successfully used to enhance your patients’ appearance. From posterior direct composites to 10 units of porcelain veneers, this course with discuss case selection, material choices, predictable techniques and helpful pearls of information that will allow dentists to be able to add more cosmetic services to their practices. Throughout the program, Dr. Radz will also discuss how he has marketed his general practice to create a practice that is now over 50% elective dentistry, while maintaining a steady flow of new general dentistry patients.”


Smile Creation using Minimal Preparation Designs and Thin Porcelain Veneers
Current growing popularity in “no-prep” veneers has created a lot of attention within the dental profession and the general public. Many in the dental profession remain skeptical as to the ability to create clinically acceptable veneers using this concept. This course will discuss the use of minimal preparation veneers in cosmetic cases, as well as address the subject of the “no-prep” concept. Included within this discussion will be review of case selection, material selection, preparation, impression techniques, temporization procedures, and delivery techniques. The attendee will leave with a better understanding of the potential applications and uses of very thin veneers.

ELECTIVE COSMETIC DENTISTRY FOR ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS
“More and more dentists are seeing young patients that want to improve the appearance of their smiles. Unfortunately, orthodontics does not have the ability to cure all of young patients esthetic concerns. This full or half-day lecture discusses the materials and techniques that can allow a dentist to predictably use very conservative techniques to create beautiful smiles for young people. Topics covered include esthetic recontouring, bleaching procedures, anterior direct bonding, the many uses of indirect composites and a discussion on the application of implants. The course discusses many different techniques and material, but will also have discussion on treatment planning, case and material selection. This is an excellent course for dentists who are concerned with the overall treatment of young people with elective dental procedures.”

CREATING NATURAL VITALITY USING DIRECT COMPOSITES
“The recent dramatic improvements in composite resins now allow dentists to create lifelike restorations that in the past could only be created indirectly. This course is a full or half-day lecture designed to help dentists learn more about the expanded possibilities that direct composites can have for their patients. The lecture will discuss the techniques used similar to a ceramist in creating anything from an invisible Class I composite to 8 units of beautiful, conservative direct bonded veneers. All attendees will leave with a better understanding of bonding systems, composite systems, practical techniques and material application, and a selection that will help them provide more lifelike restorations to their patients.”

INDIRECT COMPOSITES – A STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL ALTERNATIVE TO PORCELAIN
“Indirect composites are an underutilized alternative to porcelain. In the last few years, developments in resin technology have created indirect composite materials that can be used in many of the situations where porcelain has traditionally been used. The different physical properties of indirect composites can provide dentists with an esthetic and functional alternative to porcelain or direct composite. This full or half day course will discuss this unique material and the many different applications of indirect composites, from inlays to crowns to bridges to veneers. All attendees will leave with a understanding of the material and the techniques needed to successfully add indirect composites to their treatment planning options.”

RECREATING NATURAL BEAUTY – A HANDS-ON COURSE IN DIRECT BONDED COMPOSITES
“New microhybrid composites have the ability to create beautiful, lifelike restorations. This full or half day course will discuss the materials and techniques needed to allow dentists to more successfully create composite resin restorations that mimic natural tooth structure. A lecture component will visually demonstrate the techniques utilized to predictably use composite restorations. The hands-on section of this course will reinforce the techniques shown in lecture. The experience gained from the course will allow the attendee to immediately be more successful in their practices when using composite resins.”
