The Ties That Bind – Loeta Robles, DDS & Brooke Edgar, RDH
This course will give an overview of the effects of tethered oral tissues from birth to adulthood. We will present strong evidence supporting treatment of tongue-tie and lip-tie as it relates to breastfeeding, speech, and dental issues. The nature of tongue-tie is controversial due to not having an accurate ability on how to assess, how to diagnose it, how it relates to common problems like nursing difficulties, speech issues, TMD, enlarged tonsils, sleep disorders, nasal breathing, swallowing dysfunction, and how to
treat it. We will discuss the benefits of a collaborative approach to treatment in tethered oral tissues, define a myofunctional therapist and their goals.
Objectives:
1. Discuss current methods of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of tethered oral tissue.
2. The importance of the role of an IBCLC, bodywork therapy, and other adjunctive therapies in a comprehensive approach to treatment.
3. Consequences of untreated tethered oral tissue.
4. Review of cases from infancy into adulthood.
5. The role of a myofunctional therapist and goals of myofunctional therapy.

NOBODY CARIES (3 hours)
Sometimes it seems as though our patients don’t grasp the basic concept of home care. Other times our patients with impeccable hygiene develop rampant decay and we feel helpless because we can’t figure out what’s going on. The mouth is a remarkable environment that cariologists are finally beginning to understand, and so can you. Come learn everything you didn’t know about plaque and the amazing organisms that make the mouth a wonderful place to work.
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
• Explain the mixed ecological approach to caries causation
• Apply Evidence Based and novel preventive therapies
• Quickly identify high caries risk patients before they develop disease
• Stop “watching” lesions and see them get smaller
CODEPENDENT CARIOLOGY (3 hours)
Depriving cariogenic bacteria of sugar is the cornerstone of traditional caries management, yet the science of CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment) takes cariology to a whole new level. If you’re still telling patients to, “Brush, floss, and use fluoride toothpaste” you’re going to be surprised by the myriad of treatment options available today. Streptococcus mutans has more to fear than stronger fluoride and more of it, as dentistry embraces oral healthcare.
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:

Course Description:
“Dispelling the ‘CSI Effect’ Myth, An Overview of Contemporary Forensic Dentistry”
Because of the current popularity of forensic faire in television, the general public is getting a skewed view of the true nature of forensic investigation. This issue is commonly known as the “CSI effect.” In this seminar, Dr. Cardoza will dispel this myth as it relates to forensic odontology. Topics will include forensic dental identification of decedents of varying postmortem states
including: skeletal, fragmented, decomposed, burned remains and pattern injuries as they relate to bite mark investigation not only in human bites but animal bites as well.
Learning Objectives:
• Learn the varied roles of forensic dentists and how to cooperate with the legal system
• Understand the forensic value of dental records
• Understand forensic dental identification with the use of radiographs and other means
• Understand the various roles forensic dentists participate in with assisting law enforcement and
death investigation agencies
• Understand how dental records in your practice could be used in a forensic dental investigation
“Dentistry’s Role in the Mass Disaster Scenario/Child Abuse and Intimate Partner
Violence Recognition”
In this lecture, Dr. Cardoza will discuss the evolution of mass disaster management from the perspective of forensic dentistry. Learn how forensic dentists have participated in events such
as commercial airline crashes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and wildfires. See how the postmortem record collection has evolved from analog to digital along with the integration of dental postmortem software programs. Also, as dental health care professionals, you are mandated by law to report patients you suspect have signs or symptoms of physical abuse. These patients could be
children, adults, or the elderly. The law assumes that you have had training on recognition of signs of abuse and if you have not, the law requires you to become educated on the subject. This
course will also familiarize you with what those signs may be, and how to properly file a report if you do indeed suspect abuse on a patient.
Learning Objectives:
• Recognize the use of dental records in a mass disaster
• Understand the role of the forensic dentist in a mass fatality
• Recognize signs and symptoms of physical abuse
• Understand what your reporting duties are for a physically abused patient
• How to properly file a report if you do indeed suspect abuse on a patient

Course Description:
Dental Caries is a Whole Person Disease
Dental caries is a complex biofilm mediated disease, significantly influenced by pH, and results in net mineral loss from the teeth. Current research indicates there are multiple known risk factors for the disease including genetic factors. P4 medicine promotes an approach that is predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory. Caries Risk Management meets all of these criteria and is considered best practice in the prevention and treatment of dental caries disease. Unfortunately, early attempts at Caries Risk Management were complicated, confusing and not easily implemented in daily practice. This program will review the most current scientific literature on caries management and present a simplified approach that is both efficient and effective in clinical practice. In summary, the program will help the participant answer the questions: How can I successfully implement Caries Risk Management into my daily practice? How can we effectively use a P4 medical mode to help our patients manage this disease?

Course Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be able to discuss the current dental caries biofilm disease model.
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe different caries management strategies including coaching language.
Upon completion, participant will be able to implement a simple caries management

system.
Wellness Coaching for Dental Caries
Caries Risk Management is considered best practice in the prevention and treatment of dental caries disease, although early attempts in clinical practice have been overly complicated. Implementing this concept into daily practice affects all management systems in the office, but more importantly, really requires new skills to help coach the patient along their journey to health. This approach has been called Motivational Interviewing, Patient Centered Dentistry, and/or Wellness Coaching. But regardless of the name, the skills are the same. This lecture will present this philosophy and review verbal coaching skills.
Course Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify the commonly known risk factors and treatment strategies for dental caries.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to discuss the strategic decisions necessary to successfully implement caries risk assessment into daily practice.
Upon completion, the participant will have learned new verbal coaching skills to help their patients achieve health.

The evidence connecting periodontal pathogens to chronic disease is firmly established. Yet most dental teams have not implemented the clinical practices which mitigate both the local and systemic distribution of high-risk pathogens. We must consider the pathogens that have left the mouth and are creating breakdown at other systemic locations when our patients walk in the door.
In this groundbreaking and potentially life-saving course, John Kempton DDS will present a specific set of protocols for diagnosing and treating periodontitis with the goal of minimizing the health impact of high-risk pathogens on both the oral biome and translocated micro-biomes. The subject is brought to life by real-life stories, case histories, and current research to crystalize the need to change clinical delivery of care.

Create a desire to participate in the oral systemic movement
Rediscover the definition of periodontal disease
Review current research connecting gram negative pathogens to chronic disease
