It is becoming clear that it is not just an oral problem; it is a systemic problem. The new personalized periodontal medicine approach features the use of the saliva (salivary diagnostics) and other personalized patient information to assist with disease diagnosis and treatment. These concepts can transform your routine hygiene services to value added experiences of personalized periodontal medicine.

With so many varieties of direct restorative materials available it can often be confusing as to what materials to use when and where. This lecture will cover the many different types of modern materials available, including their benefits and disadvantages. We will discuss how and when to implement materials, based on their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, along with placement techniques and implementation of various types of matrices. The last part of the program will examine problems that arise when placing these restorations. You will learn to troubleshoot technique issues and/or sensitivity to provide the best possible results and longevity for your patients. Oncology and the Dental Profession – from A to ZAlessandro Villa, DDS, PhD, MPH This lecture offers a review of the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. Participants will become familiar with the natural history of oral cancer, the role of potentially malignant oral lesions and Human Papilloma Virus infections in the pathogenesis of head and neck cancers. Patients undergoing treatment for cancer are at risk for developing a wide spectrum of oral complications and adverse events. This course will also provide a practical approach to the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the most frequently encountered and clinically relevant oral adverse events in cancer patients.
