Setting Standards – Yankee Dental Congress

From Robin Goodman – Dental Tribune America

BOSTON, Mass., USA: During the recent Yankee Dental Congress, constant rain gave attendees ample reason to get lost among the educational lectures or the aisles of the exhibit floor, but one hardly needs an excuse when such a variety is offered in one place. If sitting in a lecture hall sounded a bit stuffy, attendees could head over to the Live Dentistry Arena and get wrapped up in Dr. Michael Boschetti and Dr. Lawrence Miller’s presentation of “Live Guided Surgery.” However, it is certainly worth braving a windowless room when Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan is lecturing all day. His Friday morning lecture covered “The Art of Endodontics: Anesthesia and Negotiation,” while in the afternoon he touched upon “The Art of Endodontics: Shaping, Cleaning and Obturation.” Dr. Paul Feuerstein was the force behind the High Tech Playground, which was a “no sales zone” for those who wished to learn more about the 65 products found in the booth. Feuerstein delivered nine lectures over three days, with Scott Benjamin delivering two focused on lasers. The playground was a larger version of the one that occurred at the 2011 meeting. There were also many free courses available on the exhibit hall floor. One of those options was the live dentistry session, “Laser Periodontitis Treatment,” taking place in the Live Dentistry Theater. Charles Braga, DMD, performed a Lanap surgery and explained why this protocol should be considered. Another free course was Richard Hargrive’s “Internet Marketing Strategies and Google Workshop for Dentists.”
