“I had the privilege of sharing the platform with Colleen at the ADCPA Conference. Her presentation absolutely exceeded the target of showing the Dental CPAs how much the practice loses by not being in the 21st Century. No one delivers this message better!”

______________________________________________________________________________________________
NEW COURSE FOR DENTISTS!  Dispel the 'Loss Leader' Myth: Blueprints to Increase Hygiene Department Services and Production Recommended audience: dentists only
(This course can be lecture or workshop)
What if I showed you how to transform $100 of hygiene production into $1000? What if I said it was possible to start today – with your existing patient base – without any new patients? Not possible, you say? What if I gave you the blueprint? This course is designed for dentists only. Discover the untapped potential in your hygiene department by learning many contemporary hygiene procedures which will change the bottom line – immediately and dramatically!
NEW! Treatment Planning Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy Cases: Hands-on! (3 - 4 hr. course)
Early periodontal therapy eludes the best of clinicians without consistent diagnostics and comprehensive treatment planning. Key components such as consistent periodontal screening, probing technique and risk assessment are a few of the topics that will be discussed at this interactive course. Come experience first-hand the benefits of magnification while perfecting your probing technique and learning to place 10% doxycycline gel (Atridox). Treatment planning and risk assessment exercises will allow every participant to implement these skills first thing Monday morning!
Hands-on training on typodonts:
Atridox (10% doxycycline gel) placement
Probing technique
Magnification
Written exercises in:
Risk assessment
Treatment planning from periodontal screening
NEW! New Trends in Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy and Treatment Planning (1 hour “Lunch and Learn”)
This presentation touches upon the role of ultrasonics in periodontal therapy and discusses practical application technique tips for commonly used antimicrobials, with emphasis on Atridox. Treatment planning for non-surgical cases will be discussed. Learn how easy it is to incorporate these procedures into daily practice!
Death of the Cleaning Woman: Changing Our Clinical and Professional Image (3 - 4 hr. course)
Hate being called a prima donna? Do you feel like dental hygienists are wrongly stereotyped? Come explore your professional value and expand your vision as we discuss some of the non-traditional opportunities often overlooked by most clinicians. This course also reviews technique tips and commission scenarios for locally-applied antimicrobials, including PerioChip, Arestin and Atridox.
Ergonomically Yours: A Call to Action for All Dental Professionals (3 hour course)
It’s time to take the plunge into the world of dental ergonomics. Ever wonder what simple things you can do to make your day flow more efficiently and comfortably? Ergonomics is the answer! Good ergonomic design is the solution to preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the dental setting. This course will explain some of the basic mechanisms that contribute to MSDs and discuss several ways to facilitate a healthy and comfortable approach to your workday. Ultrasonics, magnification, dental chairs, power brushes, aerosol-reducing products and other approaches for supporting both patient and clinician comfort will be discussed.
Incorporating Locally-Applied Antimicrobials: Easy Steps to Patient Compliance (3 - 4 hr course)
Want to incorporate locally-applied antimicrobials into your hygiene department but don’t know where to start? This course is designed for just that purpose! Learn rationale plus “hands-on” technique tips for three of the antimicrobials currently in use. Discover different technologies for periodontal charting, ultrasonics and the latest power brushes. Get ready to put these simple steps into action and increase patient compliance first thing Monday morning!
Introduction to Periodontal Therapeutics: Exceed Today’s Standard of Care While Increasing Office Revenue (All day course)
Dental hygiene practice is changing at an alarming, yet exciting rate. Keeping up with current research and procedures can prove challenging. This full day course is designed to assist dental practices with incorporating locally-applied antimicrobials, as well as other periodontal diagnostics into existing hygiene departments. In addition to hands-on technique tips and rationale for currently used antimicrobials, other topics addressed will be host modulation, magnification, ultrasonics and the latest in oral hygiene products and oral cancer screening technology. This information can be implemented right away!
Maximizing Ultrasonic Technology: For Visionaries Only (3 - 4 hour course)
The study of biofilm and the systemic link has initiated a paradigm shift in ultrasonic application. This course is designed to examine the role ultrasonics plays in contemporary periodontal therapeutics, as well as the rationale of hand scaling versus power scaling. Discussion of magnetostrictive technology will be explored, with emphasis on piezoelectric technology. Helpful aids for periodontal therapy such as magnification, electroanalgesia, periodontal gels and aerosol reduction will be addressed.
New Trends in Periodontal Therapy (1 hour “lunch & learn”)
This one hour presentation reviews referral guidelines to the periodontist, explores the role of ultrasonics in full mouth disinfection and discusses practical application technique tips as well as rationale for PerioChip, Arestin and Atridox.

Learn how to integrate newer technologies, therapies and products including chemiluminescent oral cancer screening, locally applied antimicrobials and more! Get ready to implement these changes as soon as you return to the office!
What’s New in Ultrasonics? Exploring Piezoelectric Technology (2 - 3 hour course)
Ever wonder what “the Piezo” is all about? What makes it so different from “the Cavitron”? This course is designed to examine the unique capabilities of piezoelectric ultrasonics and the role microultrasonic tips play in contemporary periodontal therapeutics. Discussion of the rationale of hand scaling versus power scaling will also be explored. Helpful aids for periodontal therapy will be addressed, such as magnification, electroanalgesia, irrigation, aerosol reduction and periodontal gels.
