BOOK 2.2:2 Diagnostically-Driven Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning – Part 2 DVD 2.3:1 Part 1: Ortho for the GP David Jackson, DDS In this program, Dr. David Jackson discussed the challenges and rewards of integrating orthodontics into the general practice. He begins by outlining the six goals of occlusion: Teeth are level, Teeth are aligned, Teeth are free of rotation, Teeth are contacting with other teeth, Patient has good ‘Class One’ occlusion, There is proper tip and torque in anteriors and posteriors… And then adds to the list a seventh vital element – a beautiful smile. Together, he says, form and function/art and science become the foundation for orthodontic care. Dr. Jackson then illustrates several examples of orthodontic care using different appliances and methodologies. All told, it is an enlightening, interesting and informative program for today’s progressive general dentist. DVD 2.3:2 Part 2: Ortho for the GP David Jackson, DDS BOOK 2.3 Orthodontics for the GP DVD 2.4 The Art of Endodontics L. Stephen Buchanan, DDS, FICD, FACD Until recently, most endodontic treatment was delivered by specialists. Today’s high-end multidisciplinary general practitioners, however, are now discovering the ability and benefits of delivering endodontic treatment themselves. The advancement of products and materials has made the delivery of quality endodontic simpler, safer and much more predictable. This program will cover key challenges and solutions related to the delivery of endodontics while outlining the keys to better communication with both patients and specialists. BOOK 2.4 The Art of Endodontics DVD 2.5:1 Mastering the Art of Direct Resin, Part 1: Anterior Restoration Dr. Ron Jackson, DDS Program Highlights: Conservative direct resin restorations The essential features of a naturally shaded composite system The stratification of opacities to achieve life-like Class IV The indications and contraindications for the use of direct resin in the posterior The advantages of the new posterior composite resin materials A new systematic technique for placing Class II direct resin restorations BOOK 2.5:1 Mastering the Art of Direct Resin, Part 1: Anterior Restoration DVD 2.5:2 Mastering the Art of Direct Resin, Part 2: Posterior Restoration Dr. Ron Jackson, DDS Amalgams have served dentistry for almost a century. However, amalgam fillings undergo constant corrosion and are not aesthetic. Also, they don’t seal or strengthen teeth. The advancements made in adhesive technology and composite resin materials have revolutionized restorative dentistry. The posterior direct resin restoration not only satisfies patients ever increasing desires for aesthetics, but may even be better dentistry. These restorations seal teeth, reinforce remaining tooth structure and allow more conservative preparations. In this presentation, Dr. Jackson will show a simplified, predictable placement technique for the Class II direct resin restoration. The procedure is based on easy to use adhesives, advanced resins specifically developed for posterior use and newly designed instrumentation. These features, along with a standardized system of resin placement, combine to reduce the time and effort for the dentist and increase the aesthetic satisfaction of the patient. To achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results, the clinician must first understand the indications and contraindications. BOOK 2.5:2 Mastering the Art of Direct Resin, Part 2: Posterior Restoration DVD 2.6 Posterior All-Ceramic Restorations Dr. Cherilyn Sheets When a dentist is asked, make my smile white and beautiful, many will see this as a license to move forward with a full-mouth reconstruction before trying more conservative approaches like bleaching. This program follows on patients’ journey from initial visit with Dr. Sheets to visits with an orthodontist, a periodontist along with Dr. Sheet’s entire staff. Clinically, you will see a number of innovative techniques used to replace the right second molar with alloy fillings and the replacement of the 1st molar. All this is done under the clinical microscope. BOOK 2.6 Posterior All-Ceramic Restorations DVD 2.7 Anterior Veneers – Utilizing Laser Tissue Recontouring Dr. Michael Miyasaki, DDS Dental laser technology is rapidly gaining ground as a safe, efficient alternative to conventional dental practices. Laser procedures generally provide treatment that is less invasive, less expensive and that requires less postoperative discomfort and recovery time. The lasers do not interfere with existing metal implants and are therefore simpler for the dentist to use. In addition to recontouring, there are many other uses for the laser in everyday practice. Lasers are now being used for many procedures, including gingivectomies, phrenectomies (with no bleeding), and the treatment of simple cold sores. This program illustrates how to implement advanced laser technology for tissue recontouring during a complex, 10-unit anterior veneers case. Dr. Miyasaki gives you an over-the-shoulder view of the entire process, from diagnosis to patient consultation, preparation and postoperative follow through. BOOK 2.7 Anterior Veneers – Utilizing Laser Tissue Recontouring DVD 2.8 Anterior Aesthetic Implants Jennifer Cha, DMD, MS & Leon Chen, DMD, MS In this program, Dr. Jennifer Cha, a founder and director of the Dental Implant Institute of Las Vegas, demonstrates the protocols and techniques necessary for the successful placement of three upper and four lower anterior implants.

BOOK 3.2 Full Mouth Reconstruction DVD 3.3 Advanced Aesthetics and Lab Communication Michael Miyasaki, DDS In this powerful program, Dr. Michael Miyasaki discusses how you can communicate more effectively with your lab to achieve even better aesthetic results. “It doesn’t matter how good you prep,” says Miyasaki. “Often times, the lab is the determining factor of the aesthetics, the form, and the fit – especially contacts,” he explains. Additionally, Dr. Miyasaki explains that the patient’s level of satisfaction is directly related to the final restorations, not the prep work as performed by the dentist. “The patient doesn’t see our preparations or impressions; what they see are the final restorations and if the color or fit is not right, the patient doesn’t think of the lab – they think about our abilities as a doctor.” In this program, you’ll also visit two labs that Dr. Miyasaki works with to get their feedback and insights. BOOK 3.3 Advanced Aesthetics & Lab Communications DVD 3.4 Perio-Surgery for the GP W. Peter Nordland, DMD A working knowledge of periodontics is necessary to ensure the best possible dentistry.
