MDDS Presdents: HANDS-ON Bone Grafting
2018-03-03 09:00 - 16:00, 2018-03-04 09:00 - 16:00
HANDS-ON Bone Grafting
Presented by Dr. Brian Gurinsky
HANDS-ON Fundamentals of Bone Grafting and Socket Preservation, Level I – Day One
Today, conscientious clinicians are obtaining predictable results in grafting fresh extraction sockets for ridge preservation by utilizing the newest bone replacement materials and guided tissue membranes. Dr. Gurinsky teaches the differences between graft materials, as well as which materials to use when, where, and why. Using anatomical models, participants will practice the technique of grafting a socket with a damaged or missing facial plate. Participants also will learn how to treat the challenging maxillary posterior with osteotomes and a sinus bump.
Simple flap designs and suturing techniques will increase the success of these surgeries and reduce the risk of complications. These procedures ultimately result in improved esthetics, simplified prosthetics and importantly, happy patients. This 7-hour hands-on training will get you on your way to introducing hard and soft tissue regeneration into your practice.
HANDS-ON: Bone Grafting and Sinus Elevation, Level II – Day Two
Dr. Gurinsky begins this course by reviewing the basics of bone grafting materials, membranes and the instrumentation required for successful regenerative procedures. He discusses the challenging deficient esthetic zone and the onlay, or horizontal bone graft and participants will practice on anatomical models.
Two particularly important components of Intermediate Bone Grafting Training are lateral approach sinus elevation, which is necessary for implant placement in the area of a pneumatized sinus, as well as the mini implant option. Dr. Gurinsky also covers advanced flap designs, suturing techniques and grafting perio defects. This 7-hour hands-on course will greatly enhance your knowledge of, and experience in, bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration.
NOTE: HANDS-ON Fundamentals of Bone Grafting and Socket Preservation, Level I – Day One is not a prerequisite for taking Level II but is recommended.
Dr. Brian Gurinsky is a periodontist in Denver and Centennial, Colorado. He received his DDS from Baylor College of Dentistry and his certificate in periodontics from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Gurinsky conducts research, serves on the editorial advisory boards for two dental journals and evaluates dental products.

MDDS Presents: HANDS-ON Dental Laser Certification
2018-03-09 01:00 - 10:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Dental Laser Certification: Utilize Today’s Dental Lasers in Managing Periodontal/Soft Tissue Conditions
Presented by Dr. Sam Low
Ready to enter the laser world? Have an “unused” laser in the closet?
Give your practice a boost by harnessing laser technology with a positive result that effectively manages day-to-day periodontal to soft tissue patient conditions. Dr. Low shows you how to choose the right laser and apply simple techniques that result in precision, controlled bleeding, accelerated healing, reduced post-operative issues, shorter procedure time and a more relaxed patient experience. He presents procedures including non-surgical periodontics (laser bacterial reduction, curettage), frenectomy, gingivectomy, restorative troughing, biopsy, fibroma removal, implant uncovering and TMD bio-stimulation with consideration of coding and patient acceptance.
Experience direct hands-on activity with several lasers on a variety of models, including a hog jaw. Dr. Low works with you, providing insight into each procedure in a step-by-step fashion to instill confidence when you return to the practice.
This course is designed for both dental hygienists and dentists and complies with standards for “laser certification.”
Objectives

Investigate laser utilization including wavelengths and respective techniques – laser physics and safety
Determine the appropriate laser equipment for the individual practice
Understand indications for using laser in crown lengthening and pre-orthodontic procedures including esthetics
Consider case reports demonstrating success along with clear contraindications
Develop techniques for incorporating laser into a dental practice considering patient acceptance and third-party coding
Differentiate laser technologies for periodontal indications (surgical and non-surgical) – laser bacterial reduction LBR, curettage, and low-level laser therapy LLLT
Develop post-operative evaluation protocols assessing wound healing

Dr. Sam Low, DDS, MS, M.Ed, has 30 years of private practice experience in periodontics, lasers and implant placement. He is professor emeritus at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and associate faculty member at the Pankey Institute.
