JOHN KWAN, DDS
Contemporary Periodontics on the Non-Cutting Edge
Micro ultrasonics have become the primary instrumentation modality for many practices. You will learn how and why this technique works for prophys to debridements. Review the various adjuncts we now have for non-surgical care, AND SEE what you’ve been missing with the subgingival endoscope!

Antibiotics in Dentistry
This chair-side friendly course is designed to update the dentist on the drugs prescribed every day and their potential interaction with the myriad of medications taken by patients. Up to date protocols for prescribing antibiotics, analgesics and local anesthetics will be contrasted with older less effective protocols. The emphasis will be on dental drug-medical drug interactions and alternative selections will be emphasized.
KARL LEINFELDER DDS, MS
Recent Developments in Restorative Materials
Emphasis will be placed on the clinical evaluation of current polymer substitutes for porcelain (occlusal reconstruction); the new universal composites, modified (conservative) cavity preparations and insertion techniques; latest developments in dentin adhesives; newest modified glass ionomer systems; etiology and treatment of abfracted lesions; adhesive luting agents; ceramic and heat cured resin inlays/onlays and new concepts on post and cores.
