Smarten Up! Create Superior Restorations
With Smart Materials
Edmond Hewlett, DDS
Scientific breakthroughs continue to drive advances in
both restorative material performance and evidence-based
disease management of dental disease at an incredible
pace. Convergence of these efforts is changing many of our
fundamental concepts regarding the degree to which dental restorations can
not only be reparative but also therapeutic. This presentation will provide an
overview of emerging concepts for utilizing today’s adhesive restoratives in
synergy with new caries management protocols to achieve optimal treatment
outcomes for our patients.
Learning Objectives:
• Get the latest insights on how today’s adhesive materials work, presented
in a clear, clinically relevant format
• Understanding how to take advantage of the dynamic properties of glass
ionomer restoratives
• Useful clinical tips that can be immediately incorporated into your practice

Healing Dental Caries: The Minimal Intervention Approach
Nutrition, Lifestyle and Perio:
An Approach That Can Change Lives
Timothy Donley, DDS, MSD
This course will teach you the nutritional and lifestyle changes
that can make an immediate difference in your patients’ (and
maybe even your own) oral and overall health. Periodontal and
other systemic diseases are about inflammation. Research
confirms that nutrition and other host modulation therapies can have significant
anti-inflammatory benefits. You will leave with a clear understanding of how
to incorporate a realistic nutrition and lifestyle protocol that will improve your
patients’ and your own health.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the role inflammation plays in periodontal and systemic health,
and which patients have an exaggerated inflammatory response
• Understand the role that nutrition and host modulation can play in reducing
inflammation
• Develop a patient protocol for specific lifestyle changes to reduce
inflammation

Dental practitioners today can treat and cure diseases more
effectively than ever. Better understanding of pathogenic
and risk factors for dental caries have produced highly
effective evidence-based protocols for risk assessment
and management (including many non-invasive measures) of this infectious
disease. As a result, the paradigm of caries management has shifted away from
a reparative model to one focused on detection, risk assessment and healing
of early lesions. This presentation will provide dentists and hygienists with
information and procedures for incorporating this important treatment concept
into everyday practice.
See you in 2017
