The One Clinical Mistake That Can Ruin Your Career and What You Can Do About It

Dr. Mitchell Gardiner
Shrewsbury, New Jersey

As clinicians, our main focus in dentistry is to properly
diagnose and treat the dental diseases presented to us. We are
anxious to perform procedures with the highest skill levels that
we can achieve. Our goal is to work efficiently within a time
frame that we choose so that we stay on a printed schedule and
do not make the next patient wait for their appointed time in the
operatory. The problem with this mindset for the busy clinician
is that we are more interested in completing procedures
successfully and we tend to not pay enough attention to the
overall medical condition of our patients. Ignoring or not
obtaining an accurate, honest and complete medical history
could be the worst mistake you will ever make in your
career. You can and will suffer emotionally and legally. This
presentation will help participants to refocus on the standards
of care as it pertains in dentistry to THE MEDICAL
HISTORY. Actual malpractice cases that focus on medical
history will be presented and analyzed.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the importance of the medical history in patient treatment
2. Learn how to get a complete and honest medical history
3. Learn what the standards of care are for medical history documentation
4. Learn by analyzing actual malpractice cases how critical the complete medical history is for legally defending a lawsuit

Dr. Gardiner graduated from Rutgers Dental School in 1977.
After serving three years in the Navy he entered private
practice as a general dentist in New Jersey. For over 20 years
Dr. Gardiner has served as an expert witness in court on dental
malpractice cases, and he presents programs throughout the
United States on issues of dental malpractice. He holds fellowships
in the Academy of General Dentistry, The American
College of Dentists, and the International College of Dentists.

Does Gold Still Hold a Place in Your Restorative Practice? Should it?

Dr. Randall Allan
Vancouver, Canada

Using gold as a restorative material has slowly fallen out of favor over
the last number of years. This presentation will discuss some of the
reasons for this occurrence and examine whether or not those reasons
are valid or misguided. Clinical cases will be used to try to augment
this examination and an attempt will be made to demonstrate to
attendees that gold is of great value as one of the many restorative
materials at our disposal and that incorporating it into our restorative
practices can be rewarding and fulfilling for both the clinician and the
patient.

Learning Objectives:

1. Full understanding and appreciation of the advantages of gold as a restorative material.
2. What contributes to patient treatment decisions and why we may be misunderstanding our patients’ desires.
3. Why we may be shortchanging our patients – and ourselves – in restoring their teeth.
4. When and where is the best time to use gold as a restorative material.
5. If at any time during the presentation you are inclined to answer No and Yes, how to address that conflict.

Implant-Based Rehabilitation of the Oro-facial Defect Patient

Dr. Eric Dierks
Portland, Oregon

The dental implant is rapidly becoming as pivotal to dental practice
as amalgam was in the early to mid 20th century. A logical extrapolation
of implant technology has been its use among patients with
major acquired defects of jaw and facial structure resulting from
tumor, trauma, advanced atrophy or other causes. The long history
of post-traumatic maxillofacial prostheses points out the need for
better retention and beginning in the late 20th century, dental
implants have been placed in the frontal bone, temporal bone,
zygoma and elsewhere to anchor a variety of previously problematic
prostheses of the nose, orbit and beyond. The zygomatic implant
offers a unique option for rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients as
well as non-tumor patients with advanced maxillary atrophy. Bone
anchored hearing aids (BAHA), originally developed by Brånemark
and ENT colleagues in Sweden, are now standard practice throughout
the world.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify patients whose conventional oral implant rehabilitation may be facilitated by consideration of the option of zygomatic
   implants
2. Understand the potential problems and complications of nasal and orbital implant -supported prosthetic reconstruction.
3. Appreciate the unique needs of the auricular prosthesis patient as well as the unique implants utilized in this application.

Dr. Eric Dierks received his medical and dental degrees from the
University of Louisville. He completed his residency in oral and
maxillofacial surgery at the Christiana Medical Center of Delaware
and his otolaryngology/head and neck surgery residency at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas
(Parkland Memorial Hospital) where he subsequently served on their
full-time faculty. He is board-certified in both disciplines. He is a
partner in the academically affiliated tertiary referral group, the
Head and Neck Surgical Associates (HNSA) of Portland, Oregon
where he practices head and neck oncologic surgery as well as oral
and maxillofacial surgery. He is an Affiliate Professor of Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery at Oregon Health and Science University and
the University of Washington. He has published over 100 journal
articles and book chapters on his various areas of interest.

Living with the legacy of dental amalgam

Dr. Nairn Wilson
London, United Kingdom

Dental amalgam has made an enormous contribution to oral health and
the clinical practice of dentistry over a period well in excess of 100
years. The legacy of the amalgam era includes the challenge of
ensuring ‘teeth for life’ for the aging ‘heavy metal generation’ and a
deeply ingrained mechanistic approach to operative dentistry. In
moving forward to embrace a patient-centred, preventatively
orientated, minimum intervention approach to operative dentistry, it is
essential to foster a positive attitude towards the development of the
post-amalgam era. The practice of dentistry without amalgam will be
different, as seen in amalgam free parts of the world, but with the
potential to better meet the future needs and expectations of existing
and new generations of patients.

Learning Objectives:

1. To appreciate the enormous contribution dental amalgam has
   made to the provision of dental care and oral health over a period
   well in excess of 100 years
2. To understand the legacy and diminishing role of dental amalgam
   in moving towards patient-centred, preventatively orientated,
   minimum intervention operative dentistry
3. To stimulate a positive attitude towards the prospect of clinical
   practice without dental amalgam

Nairn Wilson, President of the British Dental Association, is honorary
Professor of Dentistry at King’s College London, where he was
Professor of Restorative Dentistry and Dean and Head of the College’s
internationally renowned Dental Institute between 2001 and 2012, and
Deputy Vice Principal (Health) between 2009 and 2012. Nairn’s many
other positions in dentistry have included Editor of the Journal of
Dentistry (1986-2000), Dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the
Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (1995-1998), President of the
Academy of Operative Dentistry European Section (1998-2000),
President of the General Dental Council (1999-2003), Co-chair of the

Richard V. Tucker Lecture of Excellence

Myth of Anterior Guidance

Dr. John Kois
Seattle, Washington

An articulator has a limited ability to duplicate or mimic patient’s
functional movements. This creates a disadvantage for the laboratory
technician to provide a significant collaborative role. In addition, the
role of anterior guidance is an assumption based on the concept of
“Mutual Protection” not biology. The problem of resolving biological
concerns with mechanical solutions is not logical. When our patients
undergo mastication the guidance we create may overload the anterior
teeth leading to excessive friction, structural failure, tooth mobility,
spacing, and temporomandibular dysfunction. This lecture will explore
this paradox and develop better ways to reduce these risks by understanding
our individual patient’s masticatory system and provide better
communication keys to the laboratory.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the envelope of function specific to the patient being treated.
2. Create the communication keys necessary for the laboratory technician.
3. Material selection cannot overcome improper occlusal management.

Dr. Kois Received his D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania,
School of Dental Medicine and Certificate in Periodontal Prosthodontics
with a M.S.D. degree from the University of Washington,
School of Dentistry. He maintains a private practice limited to
Prosthodontics in Tacoma and Seattle and is an Affiliate Professor in

Cusp replacing stress reduced direct composite restorations

The perfect restoration is one that conserves as mush natural tooth structure
as possible while trying to reproduce it as close as possible to its
original form and function. This table clinic will demonstrate conservative
protocol for cusp replacement. The more compromise a tooth is, the more
conservative we should be.

Learning Objectives:

1. Analysis of a structurally compromised tooth,
2. Understanding of the Adhesive Equation of bond strength and stress reduction,
3. 3. Protocol for a stress reduced direct composite cusp replacing restoration.

Esthetic blending – visual vs. Spectrophotometer data analysis
for different bevels in Class IV direct restorations

The use of bevels I anterior direct resin restorations has been advocated
for both improved retention and esthetics of Class IV restorations. Research
is available to support the retentive aspect of bevels, but there is
limited scientific evidence to support the esthetic need. This table clinic will
discuss the results of a pilot study done to determine which type of bevel
(out of 6 different types) is the most esthetic when used to restore class IV
restorations via clinical evaluation as well as spectrophotometric evaluation.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn the length of bevel that is most clinically esthetic,
2. Learn what finish line (straight/scalloped) is most esthetic,
3. Define the correlation between the subjective and objective measurements of bevels

Fracture Resistance of Various CAD/CAM Onlay Restorations on Endodontically Treated Molars

It is a well-established theory that endodontically treated molars without
crowns fail at a much higher rate than teeth restored with full coverage
crowns. Studies have implied that a tooth treated by root canal therapy
should be restored with a type of coronal coverage restoration; minimally,
with a gold onlay. The use of bonded ceramic onlays restoring endodontically
treated molars will allow the remaining tooth structure to withstand
the masticatory force and to prevent the teeth from fracturing, so as to
enhance the longevity of the restored molars.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understanding the physical and mechanical properties for various ceramic materials in determining whether the material has potential for long-term success or failure,
2. Setting up guidelines and considerations that should be addressed when restoring endodontically-treated molars with ceramic onlays,
3. Being aware of and understanding current contemporary restorative options to allow for conservative tooth reconstruction for longevity, for functional and natural-looking outcomes.

Assessment of Composite Build-up Materials on Fracture Resistance of Ceramic Crowns

Various restorative build up procedures were used to develop proper
coronal foundations for debilitated posterior teeth. Numerous build up
materials and techniques including pins, grooves and slots were used in
the past for making cores on molar teeth to replace missing tooth structures.
The present study assesses materials and techniques to create core
foundations which preserved the intrinsic strength of the remaining tooth
structure and gave a more predictable final restoration.

Learning objectives:

1. Better understanding of the pulp biology and the importance of preservation of tooth structure to develop a proper coronal
   foundation in order to hold a crown based on functional and longevity,
2. The indications and contra-indications for pin placement. Why, when and
   how pins and peripheral shelves (steps). Have understanding of application
   of pin retention principles,
3. Understanding types of pins and factors
   affecting retention and protection potential. (Design, channel configuration,
   depth of embedment, insertion techniques, number of pins and occlusal
   loads).

Deep Caries Lesion: Take it or leave it?

Treating deep caries lesions is a paradigm shift. Regardless of the current
scientific evidence on the caries process supporting less invasive treatments,
there are disagreements in the amount and the quality of dentinal
tissue that should be removed before the tooth receives a final restoration.
This table clinic will present a clinical protocol to best treat the patients in
need and the scientific evidence behind the clinical decisions to treat deep
caries lesions.

Learning objectives:

1. Present a clinical protocol to treat deep caries lesions,
2. Discuss restorative materials and techniques to be used when treating deep carious lesions,
3. Present current literature to support clinical decisions on conservative caries removal.

Influence of three composite placement techniques on
microleakage in MOD Class II with different composite resins
The greatest limitation in the use of composite resins as a posterior restorative
material is the polymerization shrinkage. Studies have shown
that shrinkage of composite resins generate high stress level at the interface
of the restoration causing poor marginal seal, marginal discoloration,
cuspal deformation, post-operative sensitivity, and recurrent dental caries.
This in vitro study was to compare the influence of three composite placement
techniques to minimize the marginal leakage of MOD Class II with
four composite resins.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understanding the factors of polymerization
   shrinkage and polymerization stress,
2. To give an overview of the different
   approaches currently available for direct placement of posterior composite
   resins in large Class II restorations,
3. Distinguish what type of
   composite resin materials, that shrink less and consequently, cause less
   microleakage.
