Physical Examination of the Head and Neck for Oral Health Care ProvidersThe word “diagnosis” is derived from Greek and literally translates as “through knowledge.” Diagnoses do not come about by “blinding flashes of brilliance”, but instead are arrived at methodically through systematic and disciplined application of knowledge. Rediscover an organized approach to physical examination of the head and neck. Diagnosis is the key to patient care, and no therapeutic skill can compensate for an inability to assess and evaluate a patient adequately. A system must therefore be developed for both history-taking and clinical examination to minimize the possibility of missing the underlying pathological condition, using clinicopathological correlations to supplement the principles of physical diagnosis.

Keep the Tooth, Build it Up and Place a CrownAre you condemning teeth that should be saved? Often teeth that have undergone endodontic therapy are left decimated and compromised. From the viewpoint of periodontal health and soft-tissue architecture, it is better to keep a good root. However, a foundation must be placed that can eventually support a crown. The preferred approach is to use fiber posts that bond into the canal and dissipate functional load. Not only is longevity improved, but a tooth-shaded foundation enhancing an all-ceramic crown can be established.

Maxillary Complete Denture that Functions with Mandibular Natural TeethThe proper function of a maxillary complete denture opposing mandibular natural teeth is generally misunderstood. When the occlusion is not stable, lower anterior teeth will destroy the maxillary bone. If there are implants in the lower arch, destruction of the maxillary bone will be more extensive. Bone loss can be prevented. See why the widespread use of plastic teeth in removable prosthetics is one of the worst things that has happened in recent years. Plastic teeth do not maintain a stable occlusion. Discover the best way to handle this challenge.

The Future of DentistryPPO dominance and lack of busyness are top concerns of dentists. New graduates are weighing options as corporations can offer cash, security, and relief from employee headaches – it is the new quick-start option. Even established dentists who are looking to transition their practice see a way to sell without the hassle of finding a buyer. The growth of corporate dental practices is a real risk to our cottage industry. PPOs are dominating the marketplace with an 80% share while out-of-network practices are less than 18% of the market.

So what is the answer? What is the best for the future of dentistry? Learn the best options for the traditional practice’s survival: how to counter-punch, when to join PPOs, etc. This in-depth look at the demise of a cottage industry will be an eye opener for attendees!

Keep the Tooth, Build it Up and Place a CrownAre you condemning teeth that should be saved? Often teeth that have undergone endodontic therapy are left decimated and compromised. From the viewpoint of periodontal health and soft-tissue architecture, it is better to keep a good root. However, a foundation must be placed that can eventually support a crown. The preferred approach is to use fiber posts that bond into the canal and dissipate functional load. Not only is longevity improved, but a tooth-shaded foundation enhancing an all-ceramic crown can be established.

Keynote Session with Captain Richard Phillips Course Th4015:30 – 7:30 p.m.GWCC, Sidney Marcus AuditoriumNo Fee

Join us for the official opening ceremony of the Hinman Dental Meeting! Doors and cash bar open at 5 p.m. with a musical prelude until 5:30 p.m. The Keynote Session introduces the Meeting’s Featured Clinicians and Keynote Speaker, Captain Richard Phillips.

For five days in April 2009, the world was glued to their TV screens as Captain Richard Phillips became the center of an extraordinary international drama when he was captured by Somali pirates who hijacked his ship, the first hijacking of a U.S. ship in more than 200 years.

The hostage drama began on Wednesday, April 8th when a small band of pirates swung grappling hooks and climbed ropes from their skiff onto the Maersk Alabama, a container ship ferrying food aid to East Africa. To protect his crew, Captain Phillips made a conscious decision to put himself directly in harm’s way, knowing full well that he might pay the ultimate price for his decision. Amid the standoff, he offered himself as a hostage.

Captain Richard Phillips is the author of A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, about his experience and his remarkable rescue. This dramatic story was also transformed into an Academy-Award and Golden-Globe nominated film, Captain Phillips, which hit the big screens in fall of 2013.

Captain Phillips is a graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and a licensed American merchant mariner. He became Captain of the MV Maersk Alabama in 2009. Captain Phillips married Andrea Coggio in 1987. They have two children, Mariah and Danny and reside in Underhill, Vermont.

Marvin C. Goldstein Memorial LectureThis session is sponsored by the Atlanta chapter of the Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity in cooperation with the Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting. The Fraternity has dedicated this lectureship in memory of Dr. Marvin C. Goldstein.

complimentary evaluation on the Hinman Exhibit Floor, booth #201

The New Ergonomics Evaluation Clinic is one of several initiatives

launched by Pelton & Crane to help bring awareness to the health

implications of muscular-skeletal disorders (MSDs) effecting the

majority of dental professionals. Launched in 2014, Pelton & Crane

invites you to their Ergonomics Evaluation Clinic and have a

complimentary evaluation on the Hinman Exhibit Floor, booth #201.

Practicing Physical Therapist and American Dental Association

Ergonomics & Disability Support Advisory Committee Member,

Timothy J. Caruso, leads the team of experienced Ergonomic

Professionals in identifying some common risk factors of MSDs.

The Clinic is free to attend. Participating dental professionals can

expect expert advice on proper posture and dental ergonomics.

“Dentistry is one of the few professions that actually

accepts pain as part of the daily routine” - Timothy J. Caruso.

Pain and discomfort are often the result of improper patient

positioning caused by physical impairments and obstructions

that limit access to the patient’s oral cavity. “When a patient is

positioned incorrectly, preventing proper ergonomic access to the

oral cavity, the clinician has to bend at the lower back, and elevate

and rotate their shoulders. If repeated continually, these Class 4 and

5 movements can create long-term or permanent MSDs.” - Dr. Mark

Tholen, DDS, MBA and Expert in Ergonomic Office Design.

To learn more about Pelton & Crane’s Ergonomics Evaluation

Clinic and MSDs, go to ergonomics.pelton.net.

T E C H N I C A L E X H I B I T S S P E C I A L E V E N T : E R G O N O M I C S E V A L U A T I O N C L I N I C

Did you know Muscular-Skeletal Disorders (MSDs) affect more than 50 percent of Dental Professionals?MSD is the leading cause for premature retirement in clinicians under the age of 50.

Computerized continuing education certificates can be printed at one of two locations during the meeting:

1) Exhibit Hall, Cyber Café: THU 11 – 5, FRI 9 – 6, SAT 9 – 32) Registration Hall: SAT 1 – 5:30 only

Download the Hinman App to record CE and e-mail certificates to print at home.

Academy of General Dentistry Approval does not imply acceptance by a state or

provincial board of dentistry or AGD endorsement.

In order to meet the AGD deadline for CE submission, AGD members should process their CE no later than April 22, 2016.

HANDOUTS & REGISTRATION CONFIRMATIONS In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, we will not print handouts for the meeting. In advance of the meeting, we will provide course materials to access online which can be downloaded and printed. We will make all handout information available for all courses for which we receive materials from the speaker.

Registration confirmations will be sent in advance. Included with the information will be a user name and password for accessing specific handout materials and final course room locations. Please review this handout information in advance of the meeting and print, if needed. Handouts will be available March 7 through May 6. Plan ahead, print the handouts and get the most out of the courses!
