Course Description This course offers a 2 day clerkship opportunity to observe and learn the basic principles of CBCT imaging in dentistry and interpretation, including live lectures by Board Certified Oral & Maxilofacial Radiologist, Prosthodontist, and Endodontist. The clerkship will provide a general overview of the interpretation process through hands-on experience with several maxillofacial CBCT cases. Participants will be trained on the use of software and become competent in the reformation of images in multiple planes and cross-correlation of anatomy and variants. Participants will be trained in interpretation using several cases with a variety of maxillofacial and related pathology, including TMD. This is a radiology interpretation experience, no specific training in implant placement will be provided. The clerkship includes lectures on the physics and biology of radiation, basics of interpretation of maxillofacial pathology, CT anatomy, variants, artifacts, protocols, indications, contraindications, doses, and position papers from different specialty groups. Participants may bring up to two anonymized cases each for discussion, following informed consent from the patient. This will be the participants’ responsibility. Following self-interpretation, over-reads will be done by radiologists as a team-effort. Course Objectives At conclusion, the attendees will: • Be familiar with basic radiographic anatomy and anatomic variants • Understand rationale for using CBCT and specific protocols for specific diagnostic tasks • Be able to provide basic interpretation of CBCT data • Be able to use two different types of client viewing CBCT software • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of CBCT • Understand the capabilities of different imaging units and limitations • Understand radiation safety as it pertains to the use of CBCT, doses, guidelines for use Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Boomer Dentistry AND Managing Implant Mucositis versus Peri-Implantitis is organized by University of Florida (UF) and will be held on Nov 20, 2020 at UF College of Dentistry, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America. Continuing Education Units 7 CEUs. Lecture. Boomer Dentistry: Managing Dental Conditions of the “Boomer Generation” Course Description: The over “sixty” population will increase significantly during the next decade and with that comes an increased frequency of oral conditions associated with the “Baby Boomer Generation”. Two primary areas of concern surrounding chronic inflammation are periodontitis, with over 40% having tooth loss disease, and Xerostomia, with the compromised lifestyle resulting from associated symptoms and root caries. Our course will review these primary diseases from diagnosis to management for a lifetime. We will review the generational characteristics of this age group with emphasis on understanding the population in order to enhance motivational interviewing and gain positive case acceptance. Course Objectives: • Standardizing the collection of periodontal data in an efficient manner and reviewing successful parameters to determine tooth survival in short and long term prognosis • Developing “realistic” non-surgical therapies and the respective re-evaluation with emphasis on “new” anti-inflammatory systems including micro-ultrasonic and laser technology, and nutraceuticals such as probiotics and anti-oxidants • Understanding the etiology of Xerostomia from medications to Sjogrens • Creating management strategies including local and systemic therapies for “dry mouth” and appreciating oral conditions such as caries activity as a result of the condition • Establishing techniques to communicate with the Boomer generation Managing Implant Mucositis versus Peri- Implantitis Course Description: Inflammation around dental endosseous implants ranges from mucositis to bone loss implantitis. Recent studies reveal that implant success depends on quality prevention and maintenance while failure rates continue to be at an all time high. The dental team including the dental hygienist requires the adequate systems and tools to enhance the longevity of implant health. Course Objectives: Build your confidence in implant management by: • Enhancing your diagnostic skills for implantitis versus mucositis • Considering local versus systemic antibiotics in detoxification/decontamination • Creating innovative at home oral hygiene systems that enhance compliance • Incorporating safe techniques for at-the-chair ultrasonic debridement • Establishing the role of dental lasers in both open and closed procedures • Determining the prognosis of implantitis implant and the ultimate treatment plan Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
