Modern Paradigms of Direct Restorations

Speaker: Drs. Lou Graham and Foroud Hakim
Friday, March 14, 2025
(Virtual and In-person for Friday’s Lecture)
Saturday, March 15, 2025
(Saturday Hands-on In Person Only)

Course:

The traditional term used by both the dental team and patients alike for a direct restoration has always been “a filling”. For most restorative dentists, the term conjured up notions of mundane, low profit procedures that amounted to the daily grind of overhead driven practice. “Drilling & filling” was not typically considered glamorous or sexy, much less rewarding or profitable. It was simply a strategy to stop, or at best interrupt disease. As composite resin started to replace traditional amalgam in the latter 2 decades of the previous century, it ushered in all new possibilities. Tooth colored direct restorations allow afford the contemporary doctor the opportunity to provide tremendous value to their patients. Remarkable, esthetics, great form and function, longevity, tooth structure conservation, and bio-benefit are just a few of the advantages we can offer our patients if we master modern direct restorations.

Join Dr. Lou Graham and Foroud Hakim for this invaluable 2-day program where they will cover the gamut of contemporary direct restorations. While placing these restorations can be very rewarding for the dental team, and very beneficial for patients, many consider ideal delivery as one of the most challenging aspects of dentistry. The first day seminar format includes an interactive cased based approach where all aspects ranging from modern diagnostics, disease identification, related material science and emerging technologies in delivery will be covered. Day two is a dynamic hands-on learning opportunity where Dr. Hakim and Graham will quarterback a series of exercises that will reinforce established concepts of delivery, while presenting practical pearls that participants can put into practice Monday morning to supercharge their direct restorative practice.

Speaker Bio:

For the past 35+ years, Dr. Graham has practiced dentistry in Chicago, Illinois. As dentistry evolved throughout his career, he remained at the cutting edge and incorporated many of these changes into both his multi-group specialty practice and his clinical courses. Dr. Graham’s course offerings incorporate the latest diagnostic technologies into everyday treatment planning and clinical care to ensure the best options and treatments are presented to each and every patient.

Throughout his career, his goal has always been to get teeth to their 75th birthday. With such, Dr. Graham’s emphasis has always been based on trust with the patient and conservative dentistry. His courses highlight many of the restorative options in dentistry today along with an emphasis on customized approaches to periodontal care, implants, laser dentistry and treatment for the ever-expanding geriatric population.

Dr. Graham is the founder of Catapult Education, now composed of 30+ speakers including clinical evaluators of the latest dental products and technologies with over 38,000 education subscribers.

Dr. Graham is a published author and is the former Dental Director of the University of Chicago’s Department of Dentistry.

Dr. Foroud Hakim is a nationally and internationally recognized speaker with an unwavering passion for all aspects of contemporary restorative dentistry. He is particularly motivated to help colleagues in improving treatment outcomes, patient experiences, as well as practice efficiency. He thrives on audience participation and interactive learning models. “I learn just as much from my audiences as they might from me; if it’s not a two-way street, something is wrong!”

Dr. Hakim has balanced private practice and dental education for 31 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. He splits his time between “real world/wet fingered” private practice, and teaching dental students at University of the Pacific, as well as colleagues across the country. He earned his DDS in 1991 and went on to earn his MBA in 2000. His areas of focus range from predictable and lasting adhesion, minimally invasive single tooth dentistry, all the way through to full mouth esthetic rehabilitation and smile design.

Dr. Hakim is the founder of San Ramon Dental Excellence, Director of Occlusion at the University of the Pacific and an active board member and speaker for Catapult Education’s Speakers Bureau.
