continuing education update JANUARY 2015 » dentaltown.com 18 What’s New in Continuing Education? by Howard M. Goldstein, DMD, Director of Continuing Education Welcome to 2015! We just finished another great year of CE on Dentaltown and I would like to thank all of the amazing educators who have contributed and have made Dentaltown the top loca- tion for quality dental continuing education. Just a reminder: Every course released after December 2011 is viewable on your iPad and Android tablets! This last month we released more excellent CE courses on Dentaltown. Below are recently released courses. Latest Tooth Replacement Techniques with Cerec. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014 by Michael Skramstad, DDS This presentation will cover advanced tooth-replacement options with the new V4.2 software. This includes milled e.max CAD custom abutments, resin-bonded bridges and full contour bridges. Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions by John Maggio, DDS In this evidence-based course, Dr. John Maggio provides specific indications for restoring these lesions. Materials are compared and contrasted. Soft-tissue management is addressed. Tech- niques are introduced to simplify the restorative process and increase chances of success. Many cases are presented to directly apply this information to the daily practice of dentistry. Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns by Josh Wren, DMD With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those under 19, there will be more than 3,000,000 pediatric patients added to 150,000 dental practices. Treating children may become a necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns are procedures that are often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients. This course will alleviate any fear that leads to this misperception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulptomy, and pulpectomy will be discussed with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stain- less steel crowns will also be discussed and procedural steps thoroughly explained and shown.

Eight live CE credits will be given for this full-day event with Dr. Wren. Register at dentaltown.com/wrenevent.

It will be shown how this treatment option is no longer experimental and that the zirconia oxide material shows excellent ability to osseointegrate, is phenomenally
