The Institute Course - 2 Day Hands-on Endodontics Workshop is organized by Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (RSDM) and will be held from Jun 04 - 05, 2021 at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, Newark, New Jersey, United States of America. Accreditation: 14 participation credit hours  Description: Real World Endo™ – “The Institute Course” is an intense course that covers a broad spectrum of topics.They will demystify endodontics, covering everything from logical diagnosis to hydraulic condensation. Our approach is entirely practical and this is an all-inclusive course for the general practitioner. Drs. Koch and Gatti approach endodontic education from a very different perspective; that of a real-world clinician. This course will also address the issue of “endo versus implant” from the perspective of an experienced endodontist who is also board certified in implant placement You will be neither intimidated nor seduced by technology. Focus will be on combining the latest technology with long standing evidence based endodontic principles. The goal is to have you move safely from endodontics to final tooth restoration. This course will place great emphasis on hands-on sessions. Participants will also have the opportunity to use enhanced vision through digital imaging. They will share with you, strategies and techniques developed over years of clinical practice. These time-tested techniques will work well for you too! Whether it is creating proper straight-line access, using the new “Blend Technique” of rotary instrumentation that combines different metallurgy, or learning how to place non-destructive posts, you will actually have the opportunity to practice these techniques in the lab.. Learning Objectives: • Understand and perform a logical differential diagnosis. • Routinely anesthetize “Hot Teeth” effectively. • Visualize and create the “Ideal Access” preparation. • Fully understand the “Crown-Down” philosophy. • Appreciate and perform the new “Blend Technique” of rotary instrumentation. • Make the correct decision whether the case is endodontics or implantology. • Fill root canals using a bioceramic technique and hydraulic condensation. • Perform predictable pulp caps and pulpotomies using bioceramic putty. • Effectively use ultrasonic technology in your endodontics. • Easily use enhanced magnification in your clinical setting.

Integrative Medicine: It’s Not Alternative Anymore is organized by Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (RSDM) and will be held on Apr 28, 2021 at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, Newark, New Jersey, United States of America. Accreditation: • 7 credit hours  Description: Integrative medicine is a healing-oriented discipline that takes into account the whole person: body, mind and spirit. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of both conventional and evidence based alternative therapies. Explore the possibilities of this new approach to medicine and health. Learning Objectives: • Describe the use of complementary and alternative medicine. • Discuss the evidence of safety and benefit for two nutritional and dietary supplement approaches to disease prevention. • Discover the evidence of benefit for acupuncture, mind-body medicine, and massage therapy. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Mobilization of the Cervical and Thoracic Spine and Ribs is organized by Great Lakes Seminars (GLS) and will be held from May 01 - 02, 2021 at Newark, New Jersey, United States of America. Course Description: ​This class focuses on taking an area of the body – the neck, upper back and ribs - and simplifying it so that the therapist feels comfortable treating it. Treatment approaches include Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and direct articulations to the thoracic spine and ribs. The class is evidence based and every technique is repeated multiple times throughout the class so each participant has the chance to learn them well. When you leave this class you will walk away with a comprehensive and strong foundation for treatment of the neck, upper back and ribs. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Smile Design, Bonding and Esthetic Materials Update is organized by Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (RSDM) and will be held on May 21, 2021 at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, Newark, New Jersey, United States of America. Accreditation: 7 participation credit hours  Description: This presentation will present key points formulated into a systematic step-by-step approach to resolve esthetic problems with predictable results and improved laboratory support. We will also cover critical details of porcelain veneers and all-ceramic crown techniques in terms of system selection, cement and adhesive selection and bonding sequence. Occlusal management of esthetic cases will also be detailed to minimize porcelain fractures and complications: • Current Practice with all-ceramic crowns and porcelain veneers: Best practical techniques for porcelain veneers and all-ceramic crowns. Fine technique details on tooth preparations with 4 hands-on preparations, adhesion and cement selection for lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations. • Materials Selection and Esthetic Treatment Techniques: Establish a Step-by-Step strategy for optimum ceramic materials application (Translucent Zirconia, Lithium Disilicate, and Traditional Zirconia) and maximum predictability. When is it necessary to open VDO and how to do it practically? • Treatment planning with workshop on treatment planning scenarios: Learned lessons with implants, esthetic cases, management of parafunction, material selection and comparison between all-ceramic systems. Learning Objectives: • Fine Technique Details: Optimize Clinical Techniques with All-Ceramic Crowns and Porcelain Veneers Treatment. Optimize preparation technique, provisionals protocol, cement selection and adhesive bonding Techniques. • Ceramic Materials: How to select ceramic materials for best esthetics, control and simplicity for natural teeth and implants. When do we use lithium disilicate, translucent zirconia, or full-strength zirconia? • Esthetic Treatment Techniques: Manage Key Esthetic Factors for Predictable Esthetic Treatment. Apply these for minor and major Cases.
