MICROSCOPE DENTISTRY-WHAT AM I MISSING?
Introduction to Microscope Based Dentistry
All Presenters
It’s all about seeing and seeing well. Today the comprehensive practice of dentistry is based on the highly precise demands of CAD/CAM manufacture. The dentist
today must be able to place direct restorations that should have marginal gaps of less than 25 microns. The only way a restorative dentist can achieve such
precision is to use high levels of magnification beyond anything loupes can visualize. This course is an introduction to a new world of highly precise vision. A healthy
periodontium is the foundation of a healthy patient. The ability to visualize the microscopic deposits on the teeth is critical for effective and complete removal of
these pathogens. All phases of dentistry become better the better the operator can see
Advanced Ergonomics Training for the Health of the Dentist
Dr. Juan Carlos Ortiz Hugues
Course Description:
Dentists begin having back, neck, shoulder, arm, and leg pain in dental school which continues throughout their entire career. Dentists develop extremely pathologic habits of bending, twisting, and contorting their bodies to visualize the oral cavity. Many dentists must stop practicing due to debilitating pain. This course will demonstrate how proper ergonomics can change everything about your health and well-being. Students will learn how to position themselves so you can practice without damaging your body and suffering all day. The students will learn exercises to stretch, strengthen, and relax your muscles for comfort and longevity. If you practice with pain in your neck, back, shoulders, arms, or legs you must attend this program. Every dentist, hygienist, and dental assistant must learn these techniques.
High Resolution Photography for the Dental Practice
Dr. Jorge Zapata
Course Description:
Photography plays a critical role in documentation both for marketing and treatment promotion but also for legal protection. High resolution detailed photography is an absolute must for any practice wanting to set themselves apart from all the other offices. Today’s technology makes it very easy to capture stunning photographs and video of your dental treatment. There is no better way to document a case than with photography. Cameras are so good, and the software is so easy to use that any dentist can create impressive images in their office. This course will demonstrate, and the students will be able to photograph images at high resolution.
Advanced Composite Based Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Randy Shoup
Course Description:
This course will examine the science and the technology from sealants to complex post endodontic restorations. The attendees will learn the secrets of tooth surface preparation before bonding, unravel the mysteries of etching and then clarify all the confusion about how to bond to tooth structure. The class will discuss how to mitigate polymerization shrinkage, so your restorations do not fail in two years. The class will then examine inlay and only preparations and how to restore the endodontically treated tooth without using any form of post system and not using a full coverage crown.
What Really Works in Marketing A High-Tech Practice
Dr. Randy Shoup and Ms. Angela Ward
In practice marketing schemes and in practice growth companies there are a lot of promises and a lot of hype and very often not so many results. The advanced, high[1]tech, dental practice has only to become proficient in one thing to have patients beating a path to your door. The practice that understands this one principle and bases all they do around it will prosper and grow beyond all imagination. Understanding your patients and understanding the principles of what is being taught in this series of courses will equip any practice with the basic tool kit to completely change their future.

HANDS-ON WORKSHOP
Advanced Ergonomics in Microscope Dentistry
Dr. Juan Carlos Ortiz Hugues
Course Description:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is a multidisciplinary science concerned with finding ways to keep people productive, efficient, safe, and comfortable while they perform a task. The basic premise is to make the task fit the person, rather than making the person adjust to the task. Dentistry is one of the most demanding professions with a high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders. Many professionals are retiring early because of neck, back, shoulder, arm, wrist injuries. This course will outline the ergonomic benefits of the surgical microscope in dentistry, it will address appropriate posture while working with the microscope, how to position the microscope, how to position the patient and how to perform four-handed dentistry to work pain free, efficiently, and without stress. The course will also outline different stools available in the market, the properties of each and how to sit properly
Learning Objetives:
• Learn and apply the principles of ergonomics in dentistry
• Learn about the most ergonomic stools in the market and test them.
• Learn how to sit properly with good available stools in the operatory in different positions.
• Learn the ergonomic benefits of the microscope in dentistry
• Learn how to sit the patient in the operatory chair in order to achieve better ergonomic position.
• Learn about four handed dentistry
• Learn how to prevent musculoskeletal disorders & the benefits of micro breaks and stretching during the work day

The Art of Micro photography
Dr. Jorge Zapata
Course Description:
Microphotography is the art of capturing pictures through the dental operative microscope (DOM). One of the main differences between microphotography and macrophotography is that no lens is attached to the camera in microphotography. This course will outline the advantages of microphotographic documentation vs. the use of macrophotography and intraoral cameras. This course will, also, address the challenges the clinician faces in capturing quality images; these challenges include controlling vibration, working in conjunction with live view monitors, and par-focal adjustment to assure clear focus of the camera.
Learning Objetives:
• How to improve flow of case documentation via microphotography with interruption of patient treatmentand production
• How to increase communication and treatment plan acceptance through microphoto graphic documentation
• How to select the most useful cameras for your needs
• The basics of camera settings and how to capture quality videos and photographs with any mirrorless or DSLR camera
• How to develop a 3-D PARFOCAL.
