Case Acceptance - Making it Easy for Patients to Say Yes
LOD-272-00
Dr. Paul Homoly
This 30 minute video presentation by Dr. Paul Homoly will reveal some things that you can bring to your practice immediately to help your patients accept complete care.<br /><br />Dr. Homoly will tackle the term "chief complaint" (a term we dentists use all the time when consulting with our patients). He will explain why this term may not be working for you, and he will show you how you can replace this term with four other "chiefs": "Chief Condition", "Chief Disability", "Chief Benefit", and "Chief Fit Issue". He will explain each of these new terms and demonstrate how they can help your patients say "yes".
Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry - Part 2
LOD-238-00
Dr. Glenn van As
Part 2 of 2: Lasers in Contemporary Implant Dentistry by Dr. Glenn van As<br /><br />Part 1 (LOD 237-00) of this two part series will look at four things that can happen with laser tissue interactions: Scatter, Transmission (or Refraction), Absorption, and Reflection. This will help us understand the physics and science of lasers. We will look at the several different wavelengths available for implant dentistry, and which one might be appropriate for your practice. This lecture will present a protocol that will help you determine where lasers can fit in to implant dentistry. And, finally, we will discuss how lasers can impact before you place your implant, and during the placement of your implant.<br /><br />Part 2 (LOD 238-00) of this two part series will discuss the role of lasers after the implant has been placed. We will demonstrate how it can be used to improve healing. It can be used during uncovery. It can be used in periimplant tissue removal, and even in the exciting world of periimplantitis. Clinical cases will be presented showing hard-tissue lasers being used for decortication as an alternative to traditional means. We will focus on why an electrosurge may be damaging to your implants, and may cause you more problems than benefits, and why a diode-laser may be your treatment of choice. This lecture will conclude with what may be the future of lasers, and how Erbium lasers might be able to be used in periimplantitis to not only remove biofilms and surfaces like TiUnite, but to actively allow for reosseointegration to occur.
