Dentistry Today consistently names Dr. Lowe in the “Top 100 Clinicians in Dentistry.” \n\n\nCourse Information:\nIn today’s world\, the clinical practice of restorative dentistry is a very exciting and challenging endeavor. Consistent\, predictable\, clinical techniques to create quality dental restorations in a time efficient manner form the basis of every procedure that we perform for our patients. Options that include glass fiber direct composite bridges\, the use of “cutting edge” bioactive restorative materials that can reseal margins and enhance restoration longevity\, and unique anatomic matrices that enhance the dentists’ ability to reproduce natural and aesthetic contours in direct dental restorations are only a few of the ways you can “up your game.” Integration of digital workflow into your aesthetic cases also enhances the predictability of outcomes for your patients.\nIn this technique-filled seminar\, Dr. Lowe will discuss creative solutions and restorative techniques that will expand your treatment options for many types of aesthetic and functional dental problems. \n\n Creative Use of Direct Restorative Materials\no Bioclear Physiologic Matrix for “black triangle” and diastema closures.\no The Direct Fiber Reinforced Composite Bridge – An option for missing teeth for adolescent post orthodontic cases.\no Early diagnosis\, minimal preparation\, bioactive restorative materials: A new restorative paradigm\n Morphology\, Occlusion\, and Tissue Management: The Basis for Indirect Prosthetic Treatmento Morphology and Occlusion based on the teaching and philosophy of Dr. Harold M. Shavell – A “Blueprint” For All Dentistry\no Tissue management for perfect master impressions\no Biologic provisionalization for full coverage restorations\no Cementation protocols for total etch and conventional cements.\no Integration of digital workflow into aesthetic design.\nProsthetic Tooth Repositioning and Orthodontic Tooth Preparation\no How to correct tooth position for function and aesthetics when the patient elects NOT to have pre-prosthetic orthodontics for crowded cases.\n Creative Treatment Planning: When It Doesn’t Go by The Book\no Prosthetic tooth repositioning and “orthodontic” tooth preparation\no Open bite restoration without surgical intervention?\n\nThe purpose of this course is to demonstrate in a detailed step-by-step fashion procedures that if practiced can impact on your ability to deliver an improved level of artistic and functional dentistry in your practice tomorrow! \nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of this course\, the participants should be able to:\n1) To learn the importance of biologic provisionalization in overall case management\n2) To learn a proven reliable technique for “flawless” master impression making.\n3) To learn about the clinical benefits of bioactive dental materials.\n4) How to handle tooth preparation for the “crowded arch” to predictably create aligned restorations that have the proper restoration contour and position yet control excessive tooth reduction.\n5) Creative Treatment Planning and Execution….

He continued his post-graduate training in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center/School of Dentistry\, with a concentration in implants in cosmetic dentistry in 1998. In 2011 he received his Diplomate from the American Board of Oral Implantology. He became a Fellow(2012) and then an Honored Fellow (2014) in the Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Foleck has lectured nationally and internationally on implantology\, with a concentration on digital technologies and their application in implant dentistry. He is the owner of both the Foleck Center and Implant Mentoring Partners. He also serves as Co-Director of the Chicago Implant Institute and Implant Mastery. \nCourse Information:\nGuided surgery is used to provide a more accurate and easier surgery based on a digital prosthetic design. Guides and the ways they are used have evolved over the years\, and allow for various solutions other than just implant placement. This lecture will discuss using guides in the anterior aesthetic zone\, posterior regions with multiple missing teeth and lack of available bone. Guides are critical when deciding what treatment plan is best for the fully edentulous patient. Whether a fixed or removable solution\, there are several steps and considerations to be taken when deciding where to place the implants. Whether the doctor is placing and restoring the case or working with a specialist\, it is of the utmost importance that the prosthetics determine how the case is arranged and organized. While the digital workflow is paramount for success\, so is the team workflow\, and both will be addressed. \nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of this course\, the participants should be able to:\n• Be able to discern the different types of guides and when they are used\n• Understand when osseous and tissue grafting is required when designing a guide\n• Learn correct implant placement for screw-retained versus cement-retained\n• Know when to use an All-on-X approach or abutment and bridge design in the fully edentulous patient.\n• Incorporate team workflows that increase productivity and reduce mistakes \nCE Credit:\n7 hours of lecture credit may be used towards FAGD\, MAGD or re-licensure for dentists and hygienists. \n When:\nFriday\, April  5\, 2024 \n8:00-8:30am Registration\n8:30—12:00pm Lecture\n12:00—1pm Lunch\n1—4:30pm Lecture \n Price:\nCopy and send this form\, with a check made out to NIAGD\, to Dr. Petras.\nIf paying with a credit card\, Jamie will register you over the phone.\n*When Registering\, please note if you will require a vegetarian option for lunch!\nStephen Petras\, DMD\, MAGD\, FICOI\n120 W.

Habas\, DMD\, MS\nRadisson Hotel & Convention Center\n200 S. Bell School Road\nRockford\, IL 61108\n815-226-2100 \nSpeaker Bio:\n Dr. Brian J. Habas is an endodontist in St. Charles\, Illinois who maintains a small private practice. He is a graduate of the Southern Illinois School of Dental Medicine and practiced general dentistry for six years before furthering his education at St. Louis University where he received his M.S. in Endodontics in 2009. He worked as an associate for two years before opening his current practice in 2011. His journey toward Endodontics began with an introduction to the dental operating microscope and continued with the incorporation of Cone Beam Computed Tomography. More recently he has introduced Gentle Wave by Sonendo into his practice and for the past four years has continued the pursuit of conservative treatment of endodontically treated teeth. He is a founding member of the International Academy of Endodontics and has spoken on behalf of Coltene and Sonendo. \n  \nCourse Information:\nIn this course\, a review of diagnosis\, anesthesia\, access\, irrigation\, and obturation will be covered in detail. Current thinking and methodology will be discussed in a manner that promotes a challenge to legacy concepts. As technology becomes more advanced\, the endodontic specialty has changed dramatically with the introduction of the dental operating microscope\, cone beam computed tomography\, and enhanced irrigation systems. These advances have allowed for progress that will minimize the need for instrumentation and possibly change the way obturation is performed.\nThe course will also cover a shift in thinking from an endodontist’s perspective about how to evaluate teeth from a restorative diagnosis first\, including marginal elevation techniques\, post placement\, and access design to maximize dentin conservation in vital areas. Attendees will understand how a critical evaluation of outcomes sparked a conservative endodontic movement. \nCourse Objectives:\nAfter participating in this lecture\, attendees will have a better understanding of:\n• technical advances in Endodontics that help save the natural dentition\n• have a greater knowledge of how to perform competent endodontic treatments in your office\n• the basic principles of endodontics\n• review of anesthetic techniques\n• review of access design\n• discussion of post placement\n• introduction to GentleWave concepts and mechanism of action with a hands-on opportunity \nCE Credit:\n7 hours of lecture credit may be used towards FAGD\, MAGD or re-licensure for dentists and hygienists. \n When:\nFriday\, October 7\, 2022\n8:30—12:00 Lecture\n12:00—1:00 Lunch\n1:00—4:30 Lecture \n Price:\nReturn the completed form with your check payable to Northern Illinois Academy of General Dentistry to :\nStephen Petras\, DMD\, MAGD\, FICOI\n120 W.

He is one of only a handful of practicing clinicians in the United States who has completed a two-year postdoctoral Fellowship in Geriatric Dentistry. He is Past President and a Fellow of the American Society of Geriatric Dentistry\, Fellow of the American Association of Hospital Dentists\, Diplomate of the American Board of Special Care Dentistry and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons\, Edinburgh\, Scotland\, with a membership in Special Needs Dentistry. In 2004\, he was appointed to the American Dental Associations Elder Care Task Force. Dr. Huffines is the originator of the ADA’s Preventive Office of the Year Award. He has served on the Editorial Board of two major dental drug references. Dr. Huffines holds faculty appointments in colleges of dentistry\, medicine\, nursing and allied health sciences. As a frequent conference speaker\, he is known for his ability to take complex issues and translate them into easy-to-understand concepts and practical techniques that the entire dental team can use immediately with their patients. \nCourse Information:\nOlder and medically complex patients are the fastest growing patient demographic in the United States. The entire dental team must be trained to meet the unique needs of these patients. Visual and/or hearing impairments can lead to misunderstandings between the patient and the dental team. Medical conditions\, such as stroke\, cardiovascular disease\, cancer and Alzheimer’s\, require alteration in “normal” dental treatment\, to assure a successful outcome. Root caries is a common and frustrating problem\, requiring the use of the latest adult preventative protocols and restorative techniques. Millions of seniors are partially or totally edentulous\, so there is a tremendous need for both esthetic and functional\, conventional and implant supported prostheses. Medication use for a variety of problems\, such as xerostomia\, poor hemostasis and gingival overgrowth\, as well as adverse drug reactions\, must be addressed. \nCourse Objectives:\n• Understand the implications of biologic aging on restorative and preventative dentistry\n• Adapt the principals of heterogeneity of aging and life span to treatment planning\n• Prevent pitfalls when seeking medical consultation\n• Discover the latest recommendations for those taking bisphosphonates and anticoagulants\n• Evaluate current anti-caries chemotherapeutics\, including ACP\, CCP-ACFP\, and SDF\n• Select restorative materials for root caries\n• Properly use cervical matrices and the passive wedge technique\n• Understand the impact of residual ridge resorption on removable prosthetic design \nCE Credit:\n7 hours of lecture credit may be used towards FAGD\, MAGD or re-licensure for dentists and hygienists. \n When & Where:\nFriday\, October 26\, 2018\n8:00—8:30 Registration\n8:30—12:00 Lecture\n12:00—1:00 Lunch\n1:00—4:30 Lecture\nGiovanni’s Restaurant & Convention Center\n610 N.

This is particularly true for edentulous patients in need of implant assisted full arch or full mouth rehabilitation\, as well as\, partially edentulous patients whose remaining dentition are not in mechanically optimal positions. Despite its promise\, restorative dentists avoid certain full arch implant solutions.is often due to inadequate patient communication and lack of experience. Conversely\, there is a disturbing trend to push patients to remove otherwise healthy teeth and their supporting structures in favor of one size fits all hybrid prostheses. This course will explore the benefits and limitations of fixed and removable treatment options in the context of full arch reconstruction. Special attention will be paid to common problems and how to avoid and address them. This course is appropriate for surgical and restorative clinicians who want to better understand and implement full arch fixed and removable implant therapy in their practices. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Joseph Kim\nJoseph Kim\, DDS\, JD\, received his dental training from the University of Michigan. He maintains a general practice in Yorkville and Sugar Grove Illinois focusing on full arch implant therapy\, as well as receiving referrals for both implant and sedation dentistry from the Chicagoland area. 2008\, he has trained hundreds of dentists in implant surgery and restoration\, with support from various implant and dental materials manufacturers. Dr. Kim also owns and operates an implant dental laboratory\, giving him a unique perspective on the state of the art in implant prosthetics. \n\n\n\nCourse Objectives:\n• Review the concept of prosthetically driven treatment planning\n• Understand the importance of patient and laboratory communication\n• Be aware of full arch and removable prosthetic options\n• Review full arch occlusal concepts\n• Learn how to maintain fixed and removable prostheses \nCE Credit:\n7 hours of lecture credit may be used towards FAGD\, MAGD or relicensure for dentists and hygienists. \nWhen & Where:\nFriday\, October 14\, 2016\n8:00—8:30 Registration\n8:30—12:00 Lecture\n12:00—1:00 Lunch\n1:00—4:30 Lecture\nGiovanni’s Restaurant & Convention Center\n610 N.

Permissiveness has become the guideline for parents. “No! Stop! Please and Thank you!” are becoming extinct. Instead we have “self-esteem”\, “quality time” and “ time-out”. Add to the mix the increasing number of children with special needs.  Sharing his not-to-be-believed\, live-action videotapes\, Dr. Berman will vividly illustrate a multitude of tricks and techniques for turning even the most recalcitrant child into a cooperative one\, without mind-altering drugs or papoose boards.  A don’t miss learning experience! \nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Marvin Berman is a graduate of Northwestern University and University of Illinois Dental School and was awarded certification in Pediatric Dentistry at University of Illinois.  A former faculty member of both Northwestern University and University of Illinois Dental Schools\, Dr. Berman is an internationally recognized pediatric dentist with a career as a successful practitioner in Chicago and world traveled lecturer on the broad spectrum of pediatric dentistry and “special needs” patients spanning over five decades.   Dr. Berman has been an ambassador for dentistry as a health reporter on CBS (News Radio 78) and via media appearances as a Consumer Advisor for the ADA\, the Chicago Dental Society and the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
