President’s Message
I am pleased to welcome each of you to the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Operative Dentistry. I have been a member of the Academy since I was a pup. From the beginning, the thing I enjoyed most about the meeting was the friendliness and inclusive feeling that the “seasoned” members offered to the newer guests and members.
It is still what I most enjoy about the meeting to this day. As we continue to evolve as an academy, we are privileged to have more and more guests and members from countries outside the United States. It is important that they feel the same Chicago welcome that I have cherished for so many years. Please make it a priority this year to meet and develop friendships with our international guests and members. It is a privilege to serve as President of the Academy of Operative Dentistry. However, it is not the President that makes this Academy such a success. As it is in most organizations, there is a cadre of workers, behind the scenes, that quietly makes it all happen. There are three primary worker bees that must be acknowledged: Dr. Rich Stevenson, secretary, Dr. Greg Smith, assistant secretary, and Dr. Joel Wagoner, treasurer. These three gentlemen spend a tremendous amount of time working throughout the year, to make this a premier academy. Please take the opportunity during the meeting to thank each of them for their service to our academy and to dentistry.
On behalf of the Academy, I would like to extend my congratulations to the 2011 Hollenback Prize Recipient, Dr. John Burgess. My friendship with John goes back many years to our Air Force days, and I can think of no individual more deserving of this award than John. Congratulations as well to Dr. Mike Cochran who is the recipient of the Award of Excellence. Mike recently completed his tenure as Editor of our Journal.
Through his leadership and vision, the Journal of Operative Dentistry has become one of the premier dental journals in the World.
I am very excited about the scientific program that Dr. Jim Summitt has organized for our meeting. In addition, Dr. Paul Hasegawa has assembled a wonderful variety of table clinics for the second day of our program. We have all of the required ingredients to make this the best ever annual meeting of Academy of Operative Dentistry. Please take all that the meeting has to offer and then find a way to give some back to our Academy and to our beloved profession.
Sincerely,
J. William Robbins, DDS, MA
President

Dentofacial Diagnosis – Asking the Right Questions
Dr. J. William Robbins
San Antonio, Texas
Traditional diagnosis and treatment planning of the dental patient is only effective for single tooth dentistry. Historically, treatment questions were answered using mounted study casts, in conjunction with clinical charting which consisted of restorative, pulpal, periodontal, occlusal, and radiographic data. Although these data are still essential, none of this information provides a starting place for treatment planning the complex restorative patient. This lecture will present a systematic approach to dentofacial diagnosis with a new set of questions.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will be able to describe four “Global Diagnoses”.
2. The attendee will be able to list the five “CORE Questions”.
3. The attendee will be able to discuss treatment options for each “Global Diagnosis”.
The Buonocore Memorial Lecture
9:30 A.M. – 10:30 A.M.
Advancing Science: Its Current and Future Impacts on Dentistry
Subtitle: Be Like Mike
Dr. Max Anderson
Sequim, Washington
All branches of science are exploding with new knowledge. Dental researchers are participating in and co – opting these developments across the world. Whether that new knowledge is in the areas of dental materials science – biological sciences – computer sciences – health care research – or the development of new practice principles and policies – our knowledge base is expanding exponentially.
This presentation is limited to biologic advances, and their immediate and probable future impacts on dental practice, research and policy making.
The goal of this presentation is to have us all “Be like Mike.” That is, for us all to adopt the “open mindedness” of Dr. Michael Buonocore and be able to assess the new scientific developments for their applicability to the clinical, research and policy decisions that we make.
Learning objectives
1. The attendee will understand the several overarching medical / dental research agendas at the US national and world levels.
2. The attendee will be able to discuss some of the connections between advancing science and policy making in health care (including dentistry).
3. The attendee will be able to anticipate and objectively assess practice changes based on new and sometimes “disruptive” science and health care policy.
Refreshment Break 10:30 – 10:55 A.M.
10:55 A.M. – 11:45 A.M.
Everyday Esthetics with Direct Composite Resin
Dr. Robert Margeas
DesMoines, Iowa
This lecture is designed for today’s esthetically minded, real – world dentist and staff who need to be efficient to be profitable. Numerous cases utilizing direct composite resin will be shown step by step. These include class IV restorations, diastema closures, and direct veneers. You will gain an understanding of resins that can offer an alternative procedure to porcelain. The techniques are minimally invasive, yet highly esthetic and long lasting.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will learn a free hand technique for diastema closures.
2. The attendee will increase knowledge of layering of composites for natural esthetics.
3. The attendee will learn finishing and polishing techniques that can mimic nature.
1:40 P.M. – 2:40 P.M.
Abfractions: Reality or Myth?
Dr. Harald O. Heymann
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This presentation will provide a provocative and controversial look at the area of non – carious cervical lesions, concentrating on the concept of abfractions. Studies have shown that teeth experience flexural deformation during parafunction. This presentation will critically examine the effects of tooth flexural biodynamics as well as other contributing co – variables in the complex etiology of non – carious cervical lesions. Do abfractions really exist? You decide.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will be able to identify the various etiologic factors and their relative importance in the etiology of non – carious lesions, including abrasion, erosion and tooth flexure.
2. The attendee will be able to describe the various biomechanical phenomena and pre – disposing factors that support the role of tooth flexure in the etiology of non – carious cervical lesions.
3. The attendee will be able to discuss the findings of related research from in – vitro, clinical and epidemiological studies with regard to the etiology of non – carious cervical lesions.
2:40 P.M. – 3:40 P.M.
Adhesive Dentistry: Is Newer Always Better?
Gerard Kugel DMD, MS, PhD
Boston, Massachusetts
There is a plethora of bonding agents on the market. The average dentist is often overwhelmed by the choices. Many times one material offers little advantage over another. However, as the push for improved esthetics continues to grow, so will our list of materials. This lecture reviews new materials and techniques in an effort to improve our treatment outcomes. As dentists we must not only rely on the materials but on our own ability to treatment plan and diagnose based on a multifactorial situation as well as being meticulous in our bonding techniques. Failures in dentistry are frequently blamed on the materials. In reality, “user error” is often the culprit. Interpreting the research data and understanding our options based on the patients’ caries risk status are the first steps toward success.
Topics covered will include: advantages & disadvantages of the different generations of bonding; liners; layering techniques; avoiding post – operative sensitivity; research data; and 6th and 7th generation bonding systems, are they really better?
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will learn improved bonding techniques.
2. The attendee will learn how to avoid post – op problems.
3. The attendee will receive a review of recent bonding data.
Special Panel Discussion –
Featuring Drs. Margeas, Heyman, and Kugel
3:40 P.M. – 4:10 P.M.
Moderated by Dr. Thomas Hilton and Dr. Paul Hasegawa

February 25, 2011
8:30 A.M. – 9:30 A.M.
Intra – oral Repair of Direct and Indirect Esthetic Restorations
Dr. Nasser Barghi
San Antonio, Texas
Today, adhesive dentistry encompasses a much broader scope than bonding to tooth structure. The durability of a composite – to – porcelain bond is well documented, and extensive in – vitro studies support bonding aged composite resin. Data on zirconia primers are indeed promising. These developments allow dentists to perform limited intraoral repair of esthetic restorations with a certain degree of predictability. To be included in this presentation: intraoral repair of cohesively and adhesively fractured bonded ceramic restorations; bonding to aged composite resin; refurbishing existing bonded composite resin restorations; status of zirconia primers for intraoral repair of failed CAD/CAM restorations; and expectations and outcomes of intraoral repairs.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will gain increased knowledge and appreciation of the effectiveness of intraoral repair techniques for esthetic restorations.
2. The attendee will gain increased knowledge of the science that supports intraoral repair techniques.
9:30 A.M. – 10:30 A.M.
Loupe Magnification and Illumination
Dr. Michael A. Mansueto
San Antonio, Texas
A review of optical principles in loupe magnification will be presented. The use of loupes in support of operator posture will be strongly reinforced. The benefits of coaxial supplemental illumination will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will understand the benefits of each major classification of loupes magnification.
2. The attendee will appreciate the ergonomic benefits provided by loupes magnification.
3. The attendee will be able to test if currently – used loupes are properly fitted to the operator.
Refreshment Break 10:30 – 10:55 A.M.
The Richard V. Tucker Lecture of Excellence
11:00 A.M. – 12:00 A.M.
Commerce vs Care: The Ethics of Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry in a Cheaters’ World
Dr. Richard Simonsen
Glendale, Airizona
Dentists in practice have a difficult balance with one foot in the business world and one foot in the healthcare world. At some time, every clinician has to make a choice whether to pursue the path towards excellence in clinical care with concomitant health benefits for patients; or the path towards maximizing practice income, sometimes at the expense of the ethical standards of the clinician and the profession. This presentation will discuss the recent trend towards creating the perfect “smile,” sometimes with full mouth reconstruction based on shaky science. Is it appropriate for general practitioners to treat full – mouth reconstruction cases without additional training beyond a weekend course? When is referral to a specialist ethically required? What constitutes appropriate training and which unaccredited institutions practice evidence – based treatment? Is it a surprise that we are seeing such ethical lapses in our profession when society is experiencing so many cheaters among our supposed role models? The ethical responsibility of the profession towards patient treatment will be discussed.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will be able to define overtreatment.
2. The attendee will be able to define the difference between informed consent and induced consent.
3. The attendee will be able to discuss ethics and professional responsibility.
Stand – by Clinician
The Academy is grateful to Dr. Edward Wright, who is serving as stand – by clinician this year in the event that another essayist cannot be present.
Assessing Orofacial Pain
Dr. Edward F. Wright
San Antonio, Texas
This presentation provides knowledge of how to distinguish among the various types of orofacial pains. Since referred pain is very common within the oral cavity, head, and neck regions, clinical exam techniques and referred pain maps are used to instruct practitioners on how they can locate the true source(s) for a patient’s pain. Since sinus pain may cause or contribute to tooth, TMD, and neck pain, potential medication choices are provided that may temporarily reduce the sinus pain, enabling the practitioner to identify the sinus’s contribution to the pain complaint. An explanation for how TMD and neck disorders may cause or contribute to a headache complaint and a recommendation for when to treat the TMD and/or neck disorder for the headache complaint are provided.
Learning Objectives
1. The attendee will understand how referred pain patterns may be used to help determine whether a patient’s perceived pain is coming from a different location.
2. The attendee will realize how local anesthetic challenges may be used to identify a patient’s true source of pain.
3. The attendee will understand how to integrate TMD and cervical spine therapies with the treatment of headaches.

Determination and communication of restorative goals in multidisciplinary treatment of the maxillary anterior sextant.
A successful result of multidisciplinary treatment of esthetic cases relies on precise communication of proposed tooth location, form and proportion. This task may be daunting to the restorative dentist because he/she must first develop precise subjective and objective outcomes related to the esthetic end point. Utilizing the concept that beauty is proportionally symmetrical simplifies this process and helps the restorative dentist manage these complex cases.
