From
the
President
Dear Cosmetic Dental Professional,
A
s cosmetic dentistry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it is more essential than ever before for cosmetic dentists, lab technicians, hygienists and the entire dental team to seek out cutting-edge continuing education. It is my distinct pleasure to invite you to the 24th Annual AACD Scientific Session, Excellence in Cosmetic Dentistry 2008, in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 6-10, 2008. Without a doubt, AACD’s Annual Scientific Session provides the world’s most comprehensive CE event for anyone involved in cosmetic dentistry. Thousands of dental professionals from around the world join their colleagues at cosmetic dentistry’s premier conference for a week of education, camaraderie, business-building and networking. If you have never attended an AACD Scientific Session, there is no time like the present. Leading educators from multiple disciplines within cosmetic dentistry teach attendees in a variety of forums, from large lecture halls to intensive hands-on workshops. Exquisite AACD social events allow attendees to develop close professional relationships. General Session speakers inspire AACD audiences to live life to the fullest. The action-packed Exhibit Hall features hundreds of dentistry’s most advanced companies on display, and the Celebration of Excellence gala and Celebration of Smiles event are simply not to be missed! What’s the best part about attending the Annual AACD Scientific Session? Tuition rates are virtually all-inclusive! You will not be charged for individual courses or most of the social events at the conference. Even your breakfast and lunch are included in your tuition fees. This structure combined with a comprehensive CE program for the entire cosmetic dental team makes AACD’s Annual Scientific Session dentistry’s best value for continuing education. And, with rejuvenated New Orleans as our backdrop, Excellence in Cosmetic Dentistry 2008 promises to be AACD’s most exciting Scientific Session to date. Attendees can look forward to a festive Mardi Gras atmosphere throughout the week. I look forward to seeing you and your dental team in New Orleans!

Welcome
to
New Orleans!
What to do in New Orleans (N’Awlins)? Your exploration of the many sensory extravagances that endure in The Big Easy begins here – enjoy the journey! New Orleans is filled with elegant charms and extravagant adventures.
Indulge your senses. Savor New Orleans’ rich cultural experience. Celebrate everything.
Food –There are so many delectable menu options that we suggest you plan your diet for after AACD conference week! It is an indisputable fact that no place loves its food quite as sincerely – or as indulgently – as New Orleans. Some people eat to live, but New Orleanians live to eat. As a result, the city offers one of the most incredible – and diverse – concentrations of exceptional dining and unforgettable cuisine in the world. Bananas Foster –
Brennan’s first whipped up this flaming ambrosia of bananas and rum, spooned over vanilla ice cream.
Beignet
(ben–YAY) – These fluffy, flakey and sweet french doughnuts are made from deepfried dough and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar. We promise you will love them, we just can’t promise you will walk away without sugar on your shirt.
AACD 2008 Pre-Conference Guide
Music – Jazz, Blues, Cajun, Zydeco, Opera, Gospel and Symphony are just a few music genres that create the indescribable music scene. Amazing musicians provide a mixture of melodies that capture the history of the vibrant and mysterious city of New Orleans. Art – What captures the culture of a city more than it’s art? Sometimes called “swamp art,” the art of the New Orleans arts district captures the diverse, authentic culture that reigns in the streets and neighborhoods of the city, as well as throughout the surrounding countryside. With over 100 galleries, art buyers, as well as curious spectators can find unique styles and trends that can only be found in New Orleans. Architecture – From the decorative cast-iron balconies to courtyards and carriageways, the New Orleans French Quarter has more of the feel of an old European capital than a modern American city. One of the truly amazing aspects of New Orleans architecture is the sheer number of historic homes and buildings per square mile. Culture – Tropical in climate, lush in setting, exotic in architecture and sensual in atmosphere, New Orleans is a worldly, yet richly creative environment like no other. New Orleanians not only appreciate and support their cultural legacy, they celebrate it in every way they can. It’s no wonder that the city has been a favorite muse for an incredible legacy of artists, artisans, performers, musicians, writers and chefs.

In addition, we are offering the most comprehensive team program in the history of our conference, with courses for all team members on business and clinical topics, as well as motivation and lifestyle courses. As leaders in cosmetic dental education, we look forward to welcoming you to the 24th Annual AACD Scientific Session in New Orleans.

Glossary of New Orleans Terms Bayou
– Choctaw for “small stream.” It’s a creek with a slow current, flowing from a river or lowland lake, often through swamp areas, usually in a delta region. Among its many nicknames, Louisiana is called “The Bayou State” for its beautiful wetland regions.
Cajun
– Nickname for Acadians, the French-speaking people who migrated to Louisiana from Nova Scotia, beginning in 1755.
Fais-do-do
(fay-doe-doe) – It means, “Put the kids to sleep. And party hearty.” In the old days, when Cajuns would celebrate, they brought the kids with their blankies so the little ones could snooze while adults would eat, drink and dance their way through the night.
Gris-gris
(gree-gree) – “X” marks the spot. Voodoo spells, often indicated by Xs, are still found on tombs like that of legendary voodoo queen Marie Laveau.
Gumbo ya-ya
– Everybody talking at once.
Lagniappe
(lan-yap) – A little something extra; when you get something more that is unexpected, but welcomed.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
(less-say lay bon tonh roo-lay) – Let the good times roll.
Maskers
– Float riders and anyone dressed in costume.
Pass a good time – Live it up.
Secondline
– The people who follow a brass band on the street while swinging a handkerchief in a circle over their heads. These secondliners also have a special shuffle step or dance they do when following the band. This is called “secondlining.”
Yat
– Standard greeting “Where yat?” is “Hello, how are you doing?”

AACD Charitable Foundation
T
he AACD Charitable Foundation’s (AACDCF) primary program, Give Back A Smile (GBAS), has donated over $4.5 million in cosmetic dental services to survivors of domestic violence since its inception in 1999. Many thanks are in order for all of the supporters who have helped make this happen! The Annual AACD Scientific Session provides a tremendous opportunity to both celebrate the success of AACDCF and raise funds to continue to help survivors into the future. AACDCF events in New Orleans will include:
8th Annual AACDCF Silent Auction Wednesday, May 7 – Thursday, May 8 11:00 am - 6:30 pm Friday, May 9 11:00 am - 1:00 pm Exhibit Hall Bid on an array of items from autographed memorabilia of Hollywood or sports stars to dental equipment for your practice.

Place Your Bids All attendees of Excellence in Cosmetic Dentistry 2008 can place bids on a variety of silent auction items in New Orleans at the AACDCF Silent Auction area in the Exhibit Hall.
Donate Items You can help heal the affects of domestic violence by donating items to the AACDCF Silent Auction. Contact AACD Charitable Foundation Director, Erin Roberts, at

GEM Program
For Spouses and Guests
We want the AACD conference to not only be a memorable experience for our members, but also their spouses and guests. The Greet, Eat and Meet (GEM) Program brings spouses and guests of registered attendees together in New Orleans for some fun and exploration of our vibrant host city. Who knows, you just might foster a great friendship along the way.
Some of the many GEM activities include: • Mardi Gras Masquerade Learn everything you ever wanted to know about Carnival - New Orleans style with a trip to the Historic Presbytere. You will explore Mardi Gras through an interactive exhibit which brings together rare, historic artifacts and scores of magnificent costumes in a hands-on setting. You will have an opportunity to make your own masquerade ball mask, which will come in handy should you ever be invited to an exclusive Mardi Gras Krewe Ball. • Gardens of Opulence Century-old oak trees umbrella St. Charles Avenue, known locally and nationally as “the Avenue”. Lined with extravagant mansions, “the Avenue” makes a statement of New Orleans’ lifestyle in the 1800s. Unchanged in basic design and décor, these historic treasures remain today as they have from generation to generation. • Cajun Life A quick jaunt across the Crescent City connection will bring you into Cajun land to experience the flora and fauna of Southern Louisiana. Your mouth will be watering as you roll up your sleeves and dig into a plate of boiled crawfish, fried catfish, shrimp Creole and Cajun jambalaya. Throw in a few Cajun two-step dance moves and you will be ready to be crowned a bona fide Cajun. • Amazing Antiques For more than a century, Royal Street has been the most prestigious address for fine antiques. Learn the antiquing skills you need to identify, negotiate and bargain for these rare and precious finds. • Magazine Street Boutiques Distinctive shops that are unique to New Orleans line this quaint street. The locals call Magazine Street, the “Street of Dreams”. Browse six-miles of locally owned shops filled with countless specialty items. Spectacular New Orleans restaurants are also tucked in along the way. • Hoodoo Voodoo Voodoo is an integral part of New Orleans history and culture. Venture into the haunts of the Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau, while exploring the realities and myths of this curious phenomenon. As a registered spouse or guest of Excellence in Cosmetic Dentistry 2008, all of this can be yours to explore, in addition to: continental breakfasts, motivational morning General Sessions, the AACD Opening Reception, access to the AACD Exhibit Hall and additional lifestyle lectures. To register for the GEM Program, you will need to sign up as a spouse or guest. On December 7, you will be able to select the GEM activities you would like to attend from the course selections provided online.

Inaugural Smile Showcase Cosmetic dentistry is about positive transformations. So too is our newly designed Smile Showcase. Members will have an opportunity to show their artistic skills in both dentistry and presentation through showcase entries. Members can present their patient’s transformations in the following categories: Smile Transformations – Display before and after photographs from your best dental transformations. Portrait Photography – Show off your artistic eye by using a portrait shot to capture your dental transformation. Artistic Poster Masterpiece – Through your talents, create a poster expressing your passion for cosmetic dentistry. Interpretation is in the eye of the beholder. Submissions into the showcase are $25. The AACD Smile Showcase is about celebrating the smile. No awards will be given in support of the inclusive nature of our organization. At AACD’s Smile Showcase, the Academy wants to highlight the powerful transformations that take place through the Give Back A Smile program. AACDCF encourages members who have completed a case to submit their entry to our “Wall of Courage” as part of the smile transformation category. The submission fee will be waived for all GBAS case entries. An entry form for the Inaugural Smile Showcase can be found on our Web site at www.aacdconference.com.

Credentialing Courses
AACD
maintains dentistry’s most recognized advanced credentialing program in cosmetic dentistry. In New Orleans, you will have the opportunity to attend informational and interactive workshops that will propel you on your journey toward Accreditation and exceptional personal and professional growth. The written examination,
a required element in the Accreditation process, tests foundational knowledge in cosmetic dentistry and will be administered on Thursday. AACD’s Annual Scientific Session is the only time during the year that the written examination is administered, so be certain to make time in your schedule for this important step.

The Advanced Accreditation Workshop provides an in-depth analysis of how Accreditation cases are judged, as well as a chance for attendees to have their own cases reliably critiqued. Although this workshop is not required, it is universally judged as the most helpful step for those members working toward Accreditation. Attendees are encouraged to have taken the two required workshops in the credentialing process prior to attending this advanced course. All attendees are encouraged to bring clinical case submissions for review during the breakout session. Pre-op slides of cases being considered for Accreditation are also acceptable. For slide submission: “Before and After” slides mounted in separate carousels. For digital submission: One PowerPoint® disk (3) in widescreen format as described in the Accreditation protocol. (Write your name, member number and case type on each disk using a Sharpie marker for identification)

General Sessions Dave Barry • Wednesday, May 7, 8:00 am – 9:15 am
N
o two speeches of Dave Barry’s are exactly the same. Dave brings his hilarious sense of humor to your stage and offers up his wacky point of view on relationships, work, current events, kids, technology, and life in general. Dave Barry was born in Armonk, New York in 1947, and has been steadily growing older ever since without ever actually reaching maturity. He attended public schools, where he distinguished himself by not getting in nearly as much trouble as he would have if the authorities had been aware of everything. He is proud to have been elected “Class Clown” by the 1965 Pleasantville High School Class. Barry went to Haverford College, where he was an English major and wrote lengthy scholarly papers filled with sentences that even he did not understand. He graduated in 1969 and eventually got a job with a newspaper named—this is a real name—The Daily Local News, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, where he covered a series of incredibly dull municipal meetings, some of which are still going on. In 1975, Barry joined Burger Associates, a consulting firm that teaches effective writing to business people. He spent nearly eight years trying to get his students to stop writing things like “Enclosed please find the enclosed enclosures,” but he eventually realized that it was hopeless. So in 1983, he took a job at the Miami Herald, and he has been there ever since, although he never answers the phone. In 1988, he won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, pending a recount. His column appears in several hundred newspapers, yet another indication of the worsening drug crisis. In 1996, Barry married Michelle Kaufman, a sportswriter for the Miami Herald. He has a son, Robert, who recently got his driver’s license, which should make everybody nervous. Barry has written a number of short but harmful books including, Babies and Other Hazards of Sex; and Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States. His most recent books include Dave Barry Is NOT Making This Up; Dave Barry’s Gift Guide to End All Gift Guides; Dave Barry Does Japan; Dave Barry Turns 40; Dave Barry’s Only Travel Guide You’ll Ever Need; and Dave Barry Talks Back. They have been hailed by the critics as “containing a tremendous amount of whitespace.” The CBS television series “Dave’s World” is based on two of Barry’s books. Also, he owns a guitar that was once played by Bruce Springsteen.

General Sessions Kevin Carroll • Thursday, May 8, 8:00 am – 9:15 am
T
he author of the highly successful Rules of The Red Rubber Ball Kevin Carroll is also the founder of The Katalyst Consultancy, where his job is to nurture and care for the individual and communal inner spirit and inspire new ways of thinking. It’s not unusual for him to work with the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and a group of equally unruly First Graders on the same day. He considers himself an excitatory agent for change, a “Katalyst.” The “K” is for Kevin. Raised by his grandparents in Philadelphia, Kevin spent endless hours across the street at the neighborhood playground where he found his calling: a red rubber ball. Kevin’s pursuit of play and his red rubber ball took him overseas with the Air Force and quickly won him fluency in Croatian, Czech and Serbian and conversational fluency in German and Russian. After the Air Force, Kevin landed a job as Athletic Trainer and Physical Education Teacher at The Haverford School in Philadelphia, which quickly led to his job as Head Athletic Trainer for the Philadelphia 76ers. While at the 76ers, Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight tapped Kevin to bring his unique experiences to the sneaker giant and help inspire their creativity. Although no job existed at the time, Knight encouraged Kevin to “hang out” and create any job he wanted at the company. Kevin accepted the challenge and stayed for seven years as “Katalyst.” He was instrumental in helping Nike develop a deeper understanding of athletic product performance, team dynamics and interpersonal communication. He was also the inspiration for the Lance Armstrong wristband phenomenon. Kevin left in 2004 to found his own brand, The Katalyst Consultancy. Since leaving Nike, Kevin has traveled the world promoting the importance of play in everyday life, whether at the office, at home, or on the playground. He has helped turn creative ideas into reality for such organizations as The Discovery Channel, ESPN, HBC Bank, Mattel, Capital One, The National Hockey League, The Walt Disney Company, Paramount Television and Starbucks (in early 2006, his encouraging words appeared on 17 million of Starbucks’ grande cups). Over the past 25 years, Kevin has helped the world chase and realize its dreams. His favorite quote is from The Alchemist, “to realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation,” inviting everyone to join him in the chase and to – most of all – enjoy it!

powerfully presentation unlike any other, Hurricane on the Bayou carries audiences behind today’s news headlines on a journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana – before, during and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Unfolding against the poignant backdrop of the most costly natural disaster in America’s history, Hurricane on the Bayou tells a story of four musicians, both legendary and rising, as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans: speed through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on airboats; recount their heart-wrenching, personal stories of Katrina; and most of all, bring the focus to the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleans’ first line of defense against deadly storms. Vanishing at an astonishing rate of one acre every 38 minutes according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the wealth, cultural vitality and very future of New Orleans depends on the preservation of these wetlands. The session will conclude with a very special performance treat.

Giving Your Patients Something to Smile About: The Art of Direct Resin Supported by Ivoclar Vivadent Ronald Jackson, DDS 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
The greatest impact of cosmetic or esthetic restorative dentistry is providing patients with beautiful smiles that enhance self-esteem and encourages them to refer friends. However, dentists are challenged to keep current with a multitude of improved materials (resins, ceramics, adhesives, etc.), and to solve unique clinical problems. Specific anterior direct resin procedures run the gamut from the simple invisible Class III restorations to complex complete smile makeovers. This presentation will illustrate the value of using direct composite resin for treating anterior restorative and cosmetic needs. The simple, conservative techniques shown will lead to results that please the patient and the dentist.

Advanced Practice Communication Skills – Maximizing Case Acceptance Can Change Your Life! Supported by Nobel Biocare Attendance limited to 50 people
Andrew Kimball 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm There is a reason why the top 1% of high-end dental esthetic practices are so successful: they do things differently than the other 99%. Through focus groups and observations, dental professionals who developed the knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs, and strategies practiced in this program typically achieved substantially improved business results, including: increased annual production and office productivity, increased acceptance of non-insurance covered ideal treatment plans, substantially increased practice valuation and patient confidence and trust, as well as increased patient referrals. Not surprisingly, the communication practices and strategies of the top 1% are similar to those practiced by the most successful Fortune 500 CEO’s. These same high-performance “practice communication skills” can have an extraordinary impact on relationships with family, friends and colleagues leading to substantially improved staff-doctor personal work satisfaction rates, work-related stress levels and work-family conflict resolution.

Once the basic knowledge is obtained, you will soon be taking photos like a professional and using them to help sell dentistry and educate the patient. In this practical and entertaining presentation, a group of highly-trained and knowledgeable professionals will give you the tools you need to take quality photography. From Accreditation shots, to lab communication, to shade selection and portrait photography, you will have the basic knowledge to start using photography in your office with confidence. Do not let fear of photography keep you from enjoying one of the most rewarding aspects of cosmetic dentistry, photography.

Sascha Jovanovic, DDS, MS 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
The last years have seen significant advances in biological and clinical understanding of perio-implant bone support, tissue management results, soft tissue dimension understanding and natural implant esthetics. These advances have allowed an optimal 3-dimensional implant position, minimal invasive procedures and a predictable restorative result with natural beauty and gingival harmony. This presentation will highlight the five elements for achieving and maintaining implant esthetics. Part 1 Bone foundation – the prediagnosis with 3-D CT scans and potential for guided surgery; patient preparation for surgery; minimal invasive therapies such as flapless procedures in extraction sites and healed ridges; and bone regeneration techniques as simple and complex guided bone regeneration, bone block grafts, sinus grafts and distraction osteogenesis will be covered. Part 2 Implant design and position – step-by-step guidelines for placement of implants and fabrication of surgical guide stints; and indications and results with standard, scalloped and one-piece implants will be presented. Part 3 Soft tissue quantity and quality – modified instruments for delicate tissue handling; soft tissue management, soft tissue harvesting and grafting will be discussed. Part 4 Abutment biomaterials and (re)connections - the interaction with biomaterials like enhanced titanium and ceramic with soft tissue and bone tissue and the prosthetic steps for tissue support will be covered. Part 5 Ceramic emergence – aspects of team approach between surgeon, restorative dentist, ceramist and other team partners for patient management will be discussed and complex and case studies presented. This didactic presentation is designed for the implant clinician who wants to learn the newest and proven aspects in implant dentistry and desires to be more secure in indicating the right biomaterials and implant designs and clinical techniques for tissue preservation and tissue augmentation. The course is designed for the full surgical and restorative implant team with an emphasis on surgical management of implant placement and soft and hard tissues.

To rehabilitate or enhance a human dentition, a healthy model is required for comparison. Three factors influence the formation of a healthy human dentition: heredity, environment and function. By evaluating teeth as a part of an attractive functioning craniofacial structure of the human body, the clinician can arrive at the restoration or enhancement of any particular patient. This lecture presents such analysis of smile, midline, axial inclination, incisal embrasures, principles of proportion and central dominance, incisal edge positions, labial anatomy and buccal corridor and how the above influence the form and function of an ideal healthy occlusion. A closer look at natural biological tooth form will also be presented. Nature gave us an “ideal” canvas of anatomy. We need to be the artist and copy the natural biological tooth form as much as possible. A close-up video and pictures of the wonderful world of unworn natural anatomy will be discussed and shared. Many cases will be shown which demonstrate these factors, as well as cases that are 10 years or older which show that rehabilitation is possible for the long-term health and well being of our patients. The presentation is designed for dentists and the lab technicians.

Excellence in Digital Photography – A GREAT Way to Become a Better Dentist Jack Griffin, Jr., DMD
3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
Digital photography is often used in case documentation, patient education, practice promotion, lab communication and even Accreditation with professional advancement. Perhaps the greatest use of all excellent dental photography is to increase clinical skills. To plan, prepare, evaluate and correct our cosmetic cases with digital images is an irreplaceable adjunct to improving our clinical successes. Veneer and single-tooth matching can be much more predictable with excellent photography. By reviewing the correct pre-op digital images, the practitioner can choose single-tooth composite shades and opacities more efficiently making placement more predictable. Difficult composite veneer cases can be evaluated photographically to form a placement plan, evaluation of composite shape and color after placement and to form a framework for the veneer refinement. Complex porcelain veneer cases can be prepared using digital images as a blueprint for tooth and softtissue preparation leading to efficient and predictable case results.

Henry Salama, DMD and Maurice Salama, DMD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
For implant therapy to be viable in today’s esthetically demanding environment, the proposed implant supported restoration must cosmetically equal or surpass that of conventional restorative dentistry. In single-tooth replacement, esthetics in its fullest sense can be especially challenging, as the need to match adjacent teeth and their surrounding soft tissue is paramount. This presentation integrates evidence-based biological principles with treatment and implant designs to optimize esthetic results. Classification schemes for ridge and papilla defects will be presented to aid the reconstruction team in clearly defining the clinical challenges and designing a systematic blueprint for their correction. To more predictably achieve optimal esthetic results, new and innovative surgical and orthodontic hard and soft tissue enhancement techniques will be introduced and incorporated to more predictably achieve maintainable periodontal, occlusal and esthetic outcomes. In addition, this presentation outlines the biological, clinical and biomechanical factors that may allow clinicians to reduce or completely eliminate the waiting period to implant loading without sacrificing predictably successful osseointegration. The utilization of the new and innovative implant surface microgeometry, such as Cell Plus to enhance the results of early and immediate loading will also be discussed. Throughout the presentation a review of the literature will be utilized to emphasize what is evidence-based and what is clinical hypothesis.

Aesthetic dental materials have changed our patients’ lives and ours for the positive, but when they fail they create a lot of unhappiness. What are we missing? Unrestored teeth chip and break. Composite and porcelain restorations can break. Metal-based restorations can fail. And all these failures often occur, because of lack of properly evaluating the stomatognatic systems of our patients. In this presentation, you will learn the signs and symptoms to look for that will warn you about which cases to tackle and which to avoid. We will discuss common treatment situations and show you a system to determine how best to treat your patients. This presentation is for everyone that treats, or hopes to treat, their patients with aesthetic restorations whether they practice with a CR or neuromuscular philosophy or treat to their patients’ habitual bites. You will leave thinking differently about the treatment options you can offer your patients in your office the next week, and, most importantly, you will feel like you have control over your cases, not like they control you.

The Psychology of Cosmetic Dentistry – Patient, Doctor, Team Interaction and Desired Outcomes
aa
Mickey Bernstein, DDS and John Leite, PhD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
The psychology of your patient is probably more important to understand in cosmetic procedures than in any other area of dentistry. Understanding and recognizing realistic and unrealistic expectations and the psychology that underlies each is vital to a pleasing and successful outcome. All aspects of your patients’ presentation and interaction give important clues to personality dynamics that will affect your relationship with them and their satisfaction with results. This presentation will focus on understanding the personality dynamics that will affect your interaction with your patients. Rapid assessment procedures to help you utilize this information in your practice will be presented, as well as techniques to enhance rapport, modify expectations in a positive direction and screen out inappropriate candidates for cosmetic procedures. Dealing with demanding patients, referral procedures for patients needing psychotherapy and utilizing effective verbal skills will be discussed. Also, understanding your own psychology and how it affects your goals and your patients’ goals will ultimately result in more joy in your dental practice. The principles discussed will apply to all relationships – family, friends, organizations and any business environment.

Digital radiography imaging software really makes the general practitioner the general of his/her practice. How? Digital imaging improves patient education, case acceptance and patient satisfaction. Digital radiography imaging software provides an excellent opportunity for what I like to call extended communication and consultation. Your patient’s education and case acceptance shouldn’t stop at the end of the appointment. You can use e-mail to improve treatment and thereby build your practice. This helps your patients visualize the problem, as well as the solution, and makes them a part of the treatment plan. E-mail has become an integral part of our lives. From pictures and messages we exchange with our families, to the insurance claims we transmit from our offices, as well as with dentistry, from patient to the lab to the specialist, sending information electronically is easy, fast and inexpensive. I will discuss using the Internet in my practice and how this technology simply revolutionizes dental communication, as well as the need for the right tools, skill, communication and variety of formats to be effective with making digital radiography work for you.

Fundamental Criteria for a Perfect Esthetic Integration
aa
There is a continuous development of implant protocols and designs for making implant treatment a natural part of prosthetic dentistry. All these efforts have in common with any tooth restoration the need for human-like materials and refined processes to mimic the lost tooth substance. The CAD/CAM technology with all its possibilities of ceramic materials have made the nature like outcome a reality. The immediate implant function concept has made it possible to use implants on the same premises as tooth abutments, as the healing process no longer is an issue for the treatment planning. Combining this technique with the ultimate abutment and coping material selections gives the result of a tooth replacement that is equivalent to that of a natural tooth. The understanding of natural tooth according to form, shade, surface texture, superficial gloss and how the fluorescence, opalescence and natural transmission of light is crucial for the ultimate quality of esthetic and natural result on both teeth and implants. This lecture will describe in detail how this optimal treatment can be performed, based on the advancement of implant development and CAD/CAM technology.

Collisions in Occlusion – A Panel Discussion Regarding the Role of Occlusion in Cosmetic Dentistry
aa
John Cranham, DDS, Mark Montgomery, DMD and Christopher Stevens, DDS 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Cosmetic dentistry reaches deep into the realm of restorative, prosthetic and orthodontic dentistry. As more decisions are made to help patients achieve a healthy and beautiful dentition, the pressure increases to adopt sound principles of foundational functional stability. Three leading clinicians and educators in the arena of occlusion based cosmetic dentistry are taking the stage to share their perspectives on how to approach modern dentistry to achieve the most stable and striking results. Their differing approaches will challenge dentists to seek out an anatomical and physiological basis for treating their cosmetic cases. Each clinician will discuss the most challenging questions they encounter regarding occlusion. The issues at hand include: • Orthopedic stability of condylar position • Neuromuscular control of mandibular position • Functional and oral sensorimotor physiology • Splints and orthotics • Force balance and timing of occlusal contacts • The role of guidance and anterior contact • What equipment is used routinely to manage occlusion

Aesthetic Rehabilitation of the Worn Smile
aa
Christopher Orr, BDS 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Some aesthetic cases are more challenging then others, perhaps none more so than the patient who presents with worn teeth. The patient is potentially a bruxer, making them a high risk for material failures when replacing the lost tooth tissue. Successful treatment stems from correct diagnosis and treatment planning. The aesthetic treatment plan – our smile design – is often straightforward, but identifying the main cause of the tooth wear is critical to a successful outcome. We will describe the major causes of tooth wear and discuss how to identify the major aetiological factor in a patient’s mouth. Having diagnosed the cause of the wear, management becomes much more straightforward. Space must be created for the restorative material, but doing this by opening the vertical dimension is not always necessary. We will discuss when opening the vertical is indicated and also cover more conservative means of creating space locally, such as localized intrusions and extrusions. We will also review the ceramic products available to us and decide which will work best in any given situation, making our choice based on strength, conservation, aesthetics, opacity or speed of production. Finally, we will consider how best to organize the patient’s occlusal scheme for the long-term success of the rehabilitation. By presenting a number of treated cases from start to finish, we will explore all the factors involved in successful rehabilitation of these difficult smiles, aesthetically and functionally.

Conflict is inevitable. Life will never be free of it. At some point in every relationship our thoughts, feelings or needs are bound to clash with someone else’s. Left unchecked, our differences and disagreements can become one of our biggest barriers to achieving our goals. Once addressed, conflict encourages collaboration, generates excitement and promotes unity among team members. Enormous strides can be made once a team’s energy is freed up to focus on building relationships and creating positive results, rather than taking positions or sides.

Bead Line Provisionals A New Approach to Functional and Aesthetic Crown and Veneer Provisionals
3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
The evolution of veneer provisionals has gone from no provisional, to handplaced composite, to the currently used premade stints and PVS guides. The amount of adjustment and excess material can often make the current process time consuming. This new approach to provisionalizing veneers and cosmetic crowns will allow the practitioner to place numerous provisional units quickly with little to no cleanup or adjustment in addition to maintaining ideal function. Key concepts: New provisional technique with polyvinylsiloxanes, model articulation, diagnostic laboratory wax-ups and facebows.

Michael Apa, DDS 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm The key to creating natural esthetics starts with an accurate set of provisionals, which contain correct proportions in both length, and width of a smile. Utilizing a wax-up as a visual guide, we cannot effectively design the blueprint for our final restorations until transferred into the patient’s mouth using all of our anatomical landmarks. This will be a lecture/hands-on course covering the technique of immediate provisionals for any esthetic case. In this lecture, we will discuss landmarks both facially and dentally that will help guide the shape and size of provisionals. We will also discuss how to effectively manipulate our provisionals with the use of line angles and heights of contours to guide our esthetic outcome. This lecture will show the doctors how to alter provisionals in the patient’s mouth by addition reduction of temporary material, which will create the most lifelike esthetic outcome.

Composite Artistry – Creating Anterior Masterpieces
aa
Newton Fahl, DDS 9:30 am – 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
• Full-Day Course with Lunch Break • This course will focus on introducing a philosophy of how to conservatively, effectively and artistically perform aesthetic direct anterior composite restorations based on principles of emulating proper form, color and function. Aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of such restorations will be thoroughly addressed. A step-by-step procedural approach to solving day-to-day anterior direct restorative challenges, including shade selection, color mapping, color mock-up, tooth preparation, composite resin selection and artistic implementation, will be presented. In his presentation, Dr. Fahl didactically brings composite restorations to an art form, from invisible Class IV restorations, direct veneers and diastema closure to the non-orthodontic correction of misaligned teeth. An in-depth discussion of the predictable application of smile design concepts to the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the anterior dentition with direct-composite restorations will be presented. Interdisciplinary approaches involving orthodontics and minor periodontal esthetic surgery to enhance anterior direct restorative procedures will be introduced. Aspects of clinical relevance such as how to create seamless transitions from tooth substance to the synthetic composite restoratives by correct finishing and polishing techniques will be thoroughly discussed. The necessary armamentarium, from instruments to restorative materials, for the predictable and stress-free realization of such restorations will be introduced as clinical cases are meticulously discussed.

Formation of Natural Soft Tissue Emergence Profiles Around Dental Implants in the Aesthetic Zone
aa
Providing the aesthetic implant restoration for the implant patient has been the main focus of implantology for the last several years. The comparisons of the implant/gingival complex to the natural tooth/gingival complex are significant, and play an important role in the successful aesthetics that can be achieved in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. Incorporation of basic periodontal/prosthetic principles into the immediate restoration procedure have provided the vehicle whereby realization of these goals can be achieved. This program will provide a comprehensive review of surgical and restorative principles necessary to predictably achieve aesthetics in single and multiple tooth implant restorations. The review will include ideal surgical stent design (The TempStent IITM method), minimally invasive implant placement, the immediate restoration of implants in single and multiple sites, and minimally invasive bone grafting techniques. Simplification of the entire implant surgical and prosthetic procedure is the main goal of this lecture. Multiple cases will be presented with statistics on the success rate of over 2500 sites using the immediate restoration procedure compiled by the presenter.

The process of analyzing these cases is enlightening for anyone preparing to submit clinical cases for the Accreditation process.

Members’ Pearls
Jay Lerner, DDS and Jason Kim, CDT 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm Cosmetic procedures have come to the forefront of our profession in this new millennium. Achieving success in this area of dentistry requires both an understanding of the science and the ability to artistically create natural looking restorations. Smile design, tooth anatomy and the nuances of contour, surface texture and color are all components of a beautiful smile. This program will highlight the concepts, techniques and materials needed to fabricate exceptional, natural looking provisionals, which will in-turn, be the blueprints for a successful case.

• Repeated Friday, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon • W451 • Esthetics is one of the key driving forces in dentistry today. A renaissance in realizing the beauty of the human dentition is being driven by both patient and dentist alike and to this end, new restorative materials and techniques are constantly evolving. This is especially true when considering the use of porcelain laminate veneers as part of an esthetic change for a patient. One of the key factors, yet many times overlooked in the successful porcelain veneer case is proper conservative tooth preparation.
In today’s cosmetic practice, the clinician has several materials available to create a veneer. The well-educated cosmetic dentist needs to understand which material will work best in which clinical situation. Pressed ceramics, stacked porcelain, ‘prepless’ veneers and even indirect composite can all be used to create beautiful restorations. However, it is important that the modern cosmetic dentist understands the clinical situation, which is best suited for each type of material AND understands the appropriate preparation design that each material requires. This course is designed to review multiple clinical situations, which lend themselves to each material, as well as learning in a workshop environment the appropriate preparation to ensure long-term success.

Thomas Dudney, DMD and Adrian Jurim, MDT 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm • Repeated Friday, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon • W458 • Dentistry has experienced an unprecedented growth within the past 25 years, catalyzed primarily by remarkable advances in the field of cosmetics. However, despite the myriad of amazing developments in cosmetic dentistry, many dentists still find themselves questioning how they can create efficient and successful treatment plans for complex esthetic cases. Smile design, proper treatment planning, material choices, ideal tooth preparation, temporization and cementation will be covered during this hands-on course. Learn how to maximize the advantage of specific materials in treating the simplest to the most complex cosmetic cases.

Lecture
Dentofacial Aesthetics – A New Face on Interdisciplinary Dentistry
Introduction to the Niche Dental Practice aa
Paul Koch, DMD, Daniel Rousso, MD and David Sarver, DMD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm As aesthetic restorative dentists, we associate aesthetics in terms of anterior tooth display and smile design. Orthodontists and oral surgeons tend to think of aesthetics in terms of the facial profile. Interdisciplinary treatment in dentistry has progressed enormously in the past two decades, with collaboration between the dentist, orthodontist, periodontist and oral surgeon. This has resulted in superior results compared to those achieved working without collaboration. We do not have to stop there! The time has come when our vision can, and should, expand to broader appearance issues. The plastic surgeon is associated with restoration of youthfulness, both through surgical and nonsurgical means. With the assessment and treatment of other dimensions of smile and facial aesthetics, the result is the ultimate dentofacial aesthetic outcome. This lecture will demonstrate the coordination of care between the disciplines of dentistry and facial plastic surgery resulting in outstanding enhancement of our aesthetic and functional results.

Lecture
The Transition from an Average Case to an Exceptional One
aa
Larry Rosenthal, DDS 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
This presentation will profile several cases to demonstrate and help visualize the transition of a clinically acceptable result to an exceptional one. The presentation will utilize a cookbook teaching philosophy that derives its message from the Rosenthal Institute for Advanced Aesthetics…The Aesthetic Advantage. The goals of this presentation are to elevate doctor, staff and lab techinican aesthetic awareness, technical skills and visionary scope for comprehensive aesthetic treatment planning. In addition, one should walk away with a greater understanding and confidence in designing both simple and complex restorative smiles.

Lecture
Esthetic Treatment Planning and Execution of the Complex Restorative Case
aa
Tal Morr, DMD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
With the continual advancement in all aspects of dentistry, aesthetics remains at the forefront for the patient. More than in the past, today’s patients are educated about the treatment options available as a result of the availability of information from the Internet, publications or the television. As a result, patients expect the highest level of esthetics available. Given the possibility of the patient not being happy with the result from an esthetic standpoint (hence a failure), predictability in esthetics should be the objective of the dentist whether he is doing a single unit crown, six anterior porcelain laminate veneers, or a full-mouth rehabilitation involving either natural teeth or implants. Only through a systematic approach can the dentist expect to obtain a predictable esthetic outcome.

Lecture aa
Bradford Durham, DMD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
This lecture will empower you to transition from your existing practice to any level of aesthetic and/or reconstructive practice you desire. This course is much more than a collection of practice-building ideas, but instead is a welldesigned program of systems, forms, procedures, techniques and videos - any of which you can begin to use immediately in your office. Participants will quickly understand how to develop a practice full of patients who will demand their best services, allowing them to deliver higher quality while working less and earning more.

Cosmetic Surgery – Why, When and How?
aa
Louis Costa II, DMD, MD 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
There is no condemnation in the fact that appearance can and does play a significant role in our lives. Not only the way we perceive ourselves, but also the way we are perceived by others can have significant importance. The behavioral science literature is replete with research that indicates the more attractive an individual is, the more likely they are to enjoy positive social reinforcement. Enhanced facial appearance can improve quality of life. This presentation gives a state-of-the-art analysis and overview of those procedures and techniques likely to optimize the appearance of discerning individuals. Illustrated with before and after cases, subjects discussed include augmentation of lips, cheeks and chins, nose reshaping, eyelifts, facelifts, neck contouring, body contouring (breast augmentation, liposuction, etc.), and pharmacologic skin care. This lecture is stimulating for the general audience, as well as informative for the professional and staff.
