SUMMARY:ILAGD Presents The 32nd Annual Ted Weclew Memorial Lecture: Dentistry Engineered to Win! Clinical Excellence\, Technology\, AI & the New Dental Practice Model
DESCRIPTION:The 32nd Annual Ted Weclew Memorial Lecture:\n   Dentistry Engineered to Win! \nClinical Excellence\, Technology\, AI & the New Dental Practice Model\n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Todd Snyder\nAn ILAGD Member Benefit Course / Wednesday\,  February 24\, 2027\n  \n  \nSummary:\nDate: Wednesday\, February 24\, 2027\nTime: 8am – 4pm\nLocation: AGD Building\, 560 W. Lake St.\, Chicago IL 60561\nCE Credits:  7 CE Lecture Credits \nCourse Description:\n\nSuccess in dentistry should not be left to chance. \nYet many dental practices continue to operate with systems\, staffing models\, workflows\, technologies\, and assumptions that were inherited rather than intentionally designed. At a time when overhead is rising\, staffing is increasingly challenging\, insurance reimbursements are under pressure\, artificial intelligence is accelerating\, and patient expectations are changing\, dentists have an opportunity to rethink what a modern dental practice can look like. \nIn this full-day program\, Dr. Todd Snyder explores what happens when dentistry is engineered to win—when clinical excellence\, technology\, artificial intelligence\, comprehensive diagnosis\, patient communication\, and practice design are intentionally aligned to create better clinical outcomes\, greater efficiency\, a more compelling patient experience\, and a stronger dental business. \nUsing clinical cases and the development of a new technology-driven\, single-operatory practice as a real-world case study\, Dr. Snyder will challenge many of the traditional assumptions surrounding staffing\, scheduling\, patient flow\, diagnosis\, treatment presentation\, technology\, and the delivery of care. \nAttendees will explore how digital workflows\, AI-assisted systems\, advanced diagnostics\, contemporary materials and technologies\, cosmetic and restorative dentistry\, and strategic patient communication can be integrated to improve both the clinical and operational sides of dentistry. \nThis program is not simply about doing more dentistry. \nIt is about becoming more intentional about how dentistry is designed\, diagnosed\, communicated\, delivered\, and experienced! \nBecause the practice you want is rarely created by doing more of what everyone else is already doing. \nIt has to be engineered. \nObjectives:\nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants should be able to: \n\nEvaluate traditional dental practice models and identify areas where staffing\, scheduling\, technology\, workflow\, and overhead may be creating unnecessary complexity or limiting practice performance.\nDescribe how emerging technologies and artificial intelligence can be incorporated into contemporary dental workflows to improve diagnosis\, communication\, administrative efficiency\, patient engagement\, and the overall patient experience.\nApply comprehensive diagnostic\, digital\, cosmetic\, and restorative concepts to clinical treatment planning while evaluating how modern materials and technologies can enhance predictability\, efficiency\, and patient outcomes.\nEvaluate contemporary cosmetic and restorative treatment approaches\, materials\, and techniques to improve esthetics\, function\, predictability\, and long-term clinical outcomes.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\n\n Dr. Snyder graduated from the UCLA School of Dentistry and the F.A.C.E. institute. He created/co-directed the first ever two-year graduate program in Aesthetic & Cosmetic Dentistry while at UCLA. The 77th Accredited Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry\, a Diplomat of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry and a Fellow in both the American Society for Dental Aesthetics and International Academy of Dental Facial Aesthetics.

SUMMARY:Chicago AGD Presents: The Science of Dental Prescribing and Pharmacotherapeutics  From Pharmacokinetics to Clinical Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Science of Dental Prescribing and Pharmacotherapeutics – From Pharmacokinetics to Clinical Decision-Making – Season Pass #3\nSummary:\nDate: Friday\, March 5\, 2027\nTime: 8am – 5pm (including lunch hour)\nLocation: Gibson’s Bar & Steakhouse @ Oak Brook\, IL\nSpeaker: Dr. Steve Shufflebarger\nCE Credits: 8 CE Lecture Credits\nTuition: (Breakfast and Lunch Included)\nAGD Dentist: $225\nNon-AGD Dentist: $275\nHygienist or staff (AGD Dentist): $95\nHygienist or staff (Non-AGD Dentist): $115\nStudent/Resident: $20\nSpeaker’s Bio:\n For the last 26 years\, Dr. Shufflebarger has practiced exclusively in the sedation/anesthesia and surgical aspects of dentistry\, at his own practice in Beavercreek\, Ohio as well as numerous offices in Dayton\, Ohio and surrounding communities. He maintains privileges at 3 local hospitals. After beginning his education at Purdue University studying chemistry\, he continued on to The Ohio State University College of Dentistry where he was honored to earn the Horace Wells student award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Dental\nAnesthesiology. Thereafter he completed a residency program with Miami Valley Hospital. Dr. Shufflebarger has achieved the status of Master of the College of Sedation with the ADSA. Currently\, in addition to maintaining his private clinical practice\, Dr. Shufflebarger is the Managing Director of Miami Valley Hospital’s Department of Medical Education’s long standing comprehensive Moderate Sedation training series\, where he creates didactic\, skills and simulation content for sedation training. He has instructor status and trains medical professionals in BLS\, ACLS\, and PALS. Dr. Shufflebarger has been privileged to speak and teach in settings ranging from national organizations to local dental society meetings\, dental schools\, residency programs\, medical schools\, hospitals\, regional events and virtual seminars. \n\nCourse Description:\nThis course provides a comprehensive review of essential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles that form the scientific foundation for rational analgesic and anti-inflammatory prescribing in dentistry. In-depth coverage includes opioid and non-opioid analgesics\, antibiotics\, and both steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The course also examines current scientific evidence surrounding recently FDA-approved analgesics with atypical mechanisms of action. \nIn addition\, select non–first-line drug classes commonly prescribed by physicians for pain management will be reviewed to enhance dental practitioners’ clinical decision-making and interdisciplinary understanding. \nSpecial attention is given to substance misuse and abuse\, and how these challenges influence patient care and interprofessional collaboration. Local anesthetics are emphasized as both a cornerstone of pain control and a definitive means of addressing the underlying etiology of dental pain. \nAdditional topics include dependence\, tolerance\, and addiction\, as well as evolving educational\, legal\, and regulatory prescribing frameworks. Participants will gain practical\, evidence-based strategies to improve prescribing practices\, enhance patient safety\, and optimize clinical outcomes. \nThis course content fulfills DEA MATE training requirements (8 hours) and satisfies most state opioid prescriber education requirements. \n  \nRegistration: \nScroll to the bottom to register for this course only. \nSponsored By:\n\n		\n		\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://wealthwave.com\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://www.ottawadentallab.com\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://www.henryschein.com/\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://mcpheecoaching.com/\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://www.oldnational.com/\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://www.usa.philips.com/\n				\n			\n				 \n			\n				\n				https://www.be-guided.com/\n				\n			\n		\n\n

SUMMARY:Protocol Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Protocol reporting will now be done virtually by pre-arranging with the Mastertrack directors. Please RSVP to Dr. Jessica Gibbs to present protocol reports on past Mastertrack Sessions or for more information at jessicagibbs@gmail.com. \nZoom Virtual Meeting/Webinar \nProtocol Presentations \n\nProtocol presentations offer attendees the opportunity to more than double their CE participation hours earned per program. Please RSVP with Dr. Jessica Gibbs if you plan to report on a protocol assignment from a previous Mastertrack session.\nAs an aspiring Master in the AGD\, it is both an honor and an obligation to be able to share your knowledge and experiences with others. There is no better format to improve those presentation skills than with the protocol reporting sessions available to those who have taken a PACE/CERP approved participation course. The objective of taking a participation course and then doing a protocol session is to (1) instruct the participant in the practical application of a skill(s)\, (2) for the participant to do that procedure(s) in his/her office\, and (3) to then show the protocol facilitator (and others presenting that day) how this procedure was done by you.  In short: See it done\, Do it in your office\, and Teach others by showing what you have done. You will learn the most from the “teach” part of this triad! So\, what is the best way to “teach”? Tell the “story” about the case/s. Yes\, from “once upon a time” to “happily ever after” with all that went on between the two. The method is the same. Deliver this story so that each member of the audience can share the experience simultaneously. Suggestions: Do a PowerPoint presentation\, with good photos to support the “story”\, handouts\, models (or photos of the models)\, and a literature search to support the case. Remember that the story is first\, the photos support it. Not the other way around!**Sit in on a protocol session and see how others present. Emulate a style you like; others will like it\, too. \n\nThis might be an outline to follow: \n1. Title to describe what the presentation is about \n2. Patient chief complaint \n3. Medical/ Dental/Social history \n4. Pre-operative dental charting. \n5. Established need for treatment: Diagnosis(s) \n6. Prognosis \n7. Treatment plan with objectives & rationale for treatment provided \n8. Photographs\, radiographs\, and models (if applicable) of the case prior to starting treatment. \n9. Photographs\, radiographs\, and models as the case progresses \n10. What went right; what went wrong. \n11. Post treatment photographs\, radiographs\, and documentation. \n12. What was learned from this case? What would you do differently next time? \n\nThink about this as if you are a member of the audience and would like to know everything about the case. You want to know about the patient\, the problems\, the treatment plan and how it was carried out\, the problems encountered and how they were solved (or not)\, the materials used\, the final result and how you would do the case if given another chance. You have information others need! Develop the skill to share it!

SUMMARY:ILAGD MASTERTRACK PRESENTS: Endo Unlocked: Advanced Endodontic Techniques Workshop - Calcification\, Retreatment\, Managing MB2 and More
DESCRIPTION:Endo Unlocked: Advanced Endodontic Techniques Workshop – Calcification\, Retreatment\, Managing MB2 and More\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Brett E. Gilbert\nFriday-Saturday\, May 14-15\, 2027\nSpeaker:\n Brett E. Gilbert\, DDS\, FICD\, Diplomate\, American Board of Endodontics\n  \nDr. Brett E. Gilbert graduated from the University of Maryland Dental School (DDS 2001\, ENDO 2003). He is a professor in the Department of Endodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. He is the founder of the Access Endo\, a global direct mentorship continuing education platform. He is a fellow in the International College of Dentists and a contributing consultant for Oral Health Journal. Dr. Gilbert lectures nationally and internationally on clinical endodontics and personal wellness and is the host of the On The Cusp Podcast and co-host of For the Love of Endo podcast. Dr. Gilbert is a global key opinion leader in the area of endodontics and new technology. He is a partner in Specialized Dental Partners and has a private practice\, Northwest Dental Specialists in Park Ridge\, IL. \n\n\nCourse Description:\nManaging complicated endodontic cases can present a great challenge to any clinician. Calcified canals are difficult\nto manage\, but\, with proper technique\, can be cleaned and shaped with predictability. Retreatment creates\nchallenges for any clinician\, but with sound technique and understanding\, successful outcomes are possible in\ngeneral practice. Separation of instruments happens\, creating a stressful and potentially damaging outcome.\nUtilizing modern techniques and armamentaria can help to successfully retrieve a separated instrument. Locating\nthe second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) is challenging\, but\, after learning more about anatomy and using the right\ninstruments\, is achievable. Participants will learn perforation prevention and repair techniques. This combination\nof lecture and hands-on workshop will allow each participant to learn and gain proficiency in advanced endodontic\ntechniques and skills. \nCourse Objectives:\nFollowing this presentation\, dentists will: \n\nLearn how to identify and negotiate calcified canal structures using modern armamentaria.\nPractice removal of gutta percha and root fillings to mimic the challenges encountered during endodontic\nretreatment.\nLearn about MB2 anatomy and anatomical cues of location\, and practice locating and effectively instrumenting\nthese structures using 3D-printed tooth anatomy\nUnderstand how to prevent perforation of tooth structure\, and learn techniques and materials to successfully\nrepair these iatrogenic errors.\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThese hands-on programs were created for AGD Fellows aspiring to be AGD Masters\, but we’ve discovered that they may benefit all dentists\, from new graduates to seasoned practitioners. \nCE Credit:\n16 hours of participation credit for those who attend the 2 days of lecture and hands-on. 34 total hours of participation credit to those who attend the 2 days of lecture and hands-on\, complete the assigned protocol in their office\, and return to document the protocol assignment. \nWhen:\nFriday & Saturday\, May 14-15\, 2027 \nGC America Inc \n3737 W 127th St\, \nAlsip\, IL 60803 708-371-7300 \nPrice:\nThe total tuition for Premasters for this course\, which includes the reporting session is $1075.
