After spending two years in the Department of Neurophysiology at the University of Kiel, he served as an assistant professor of prosthodontics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, from 1993 to 1996. He received postgraduate endodontic training as a PhD (Dr. habil.) at Zurich University Dental School from 1997 to 2001. He was an associate professor and head of the faculty practice in restorative dentistry at the University of Zurich from 1996 to 2001, spending his time teaching, giving CE courses and participating in the faculty practice. Dr. Peters attended UC San Francisco from 2001 to 2003 and received an MS certificate in Oral Biology. He also received a certificate in endodontics from UCSF in 2006 and the dental license in California in 2007. He is currently Professor and Director of Endodontic Research in the Endodontic Department of the Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific, San Francisco and maintains a private practice in San Francisco. Dr. Peters has published more than 100 papers, abstracts and book chapters and has lectured both nationally and internationally; he serves on the review panel and editorial boards of most endodontic journals. About the program Nickel-titanium instruments for rotary root canal preparation have been around for more than 15 years. They are felt to give general practitioners the tools to superior endodontic outcomes. Obviously, the significant market volume in terms of US-$$ generates ongoing product cycles that may and may not result in clinical advancement or better outcomes. This lecture aims at giving an update on recent developments in Nickel-titanium metallurgy and manufacturing, discussing marketing claims in the light of well-founded facts. Over the last year or two, new technologies such as electropolishing, new alloys (M-wire) and manufacturing technologies (“twisting a file”) have been highlighted and it has been claimed that those techniques will reduce file fatigue and hence instrument fractures. These developments are fairly recent and not much scientific evidence is available for any of those assertions. However, it is important to keep abreast of current technologies as they emerge; this presentation will not only explain the detailed nature of the terms but also make and attempt to investigate manufacturers’ claims. About the Speaker David Cravit has over 30 years’ experience in advertising, marketing and consulting in both Canada and the USA. He was a partner in Saffer Cravit & Freedman Advertising, which he helped take from start-up to over $150 million in annual billings. The agency was recognized as the leading retail specialist agency in North America. After selling his interest in the business, Cravit worked as an independent consultant and also a consultant to other advertising agencies in Canada and the USA, before joining ZoomerMedia in November, 2005 for which he holds the position of Vice President. Over the years, Cravit has participated at the most senior levels in the creation and placement of over $5 billion worth of media advertising. He has been a frequent speaker at corporate and industry events, guest on numerous radio and TV shows, and contributor to professional journals. His book, “The New Old,” (October, 2008, ECW Press) details how Zoomers (led by the Baby Boomers) are completely reinventing the process of aging – and the implications for companies, government, and society as a whole. About the Program Mr. Cravit will enlighten you with the phenomenom of BoomerAging, the transformation of seniors into “Zoomers”, a fascinating story of the Baby Boomer generation refusing to age in the traditional way, and offer a predictive window of how this generation will create a revolution in everything from health, to finance, to travel and fashion. Mr. Cravit will give everyone much to think about, and will suggest how policy makers, professionals, researchers, marketers, educators and everyone else for that matter, must recognize the immense impact that this group will play and hence formulate strategies to capitalize on this powerful segment of society. Who should attend this program Within a few years the topic of Boomers and BoomerAging will become the issue for almost everyone. All those in business and policy making will have to adjust and take Boomers into account. This program is for absolutely everyone interested in expanding their horizons and discovering what the new norms may become. At conclusion of the meeting, participants will be able to: ● Describe the properties of latest-generation Nickel-titanium rotary instruments ● Point towards key experiments that prove or disprove manufacturers’ claims ● Assess the potential for changes in clinical outcomes with various Nickel-titanium instruments Who should attend this program This presentation is geared towards general practitioners actively engaged in endodontic treatment in daily practice. 32 w w w . t o r d e n t . c o m

About the Program The placement of dental implants is now in common use in a restorative/prosthodontic practice. In many instances the replacement of questionable teeth with dental implants is the state of the art for many patients. The anterior zone of the oral cavity requires optimum diagnosing and treatment planning particularly for patients with a high smile line. This presentation will present a concise review of the literature to show the evidence to support this topic. What you will learn ● exacting tissue management ● aesthetic modifications during healing through to the final prosthetic placement ● cemented versus screw-retained prosthetics Who Should Attend this Program This program is geared to dentists engaged in treatment planning, placement and restoration of dental implants.
