Minimally Invasive Dentistry: Do you or don't you remove carious tissue before restoring or do you even restore? This lecture will explain the current concepts of diagnosing lesions and treatment planning and the use of current technologies to arrest and restore teeth to optimum function. Learn the "new" system of diagnosing caries by depth and location, if it should be restored, available techniques, and new technologies for diagnosing and arresting.

Do you find yourself confused about the behavior and coping skills of children? Have you noticed that parents are lacking the skills (or the desire) to manage their children in your office? During this lecture we will evaluate the changes in the behavior of children in recent times and learn techniques for channeling and modeling kids' behaviors to get them through their dental visits. We will look at nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic management techniques and how to assess which to use.

This course will review the current practice and recommendations for pediatric and adult minimal and moderate sedation. Understanding your patient and their family is key as is utilizing both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for a successful sedation. We will begin with a review of psychology, physiology and pharmacology and progress through monitoring, drug selection and office protocols. Complications and emergencies can and do happen at all levels of sedation and a brief review of early recognition and intervention will round out the course.

Confused by the new terms MID, CTR, NCTR or even "No Drilling No Filling" ? What do they mean when treating kids carious lesions, and are they even appropriate? What is a Hall Crown? When and where do I use SDF? This workshop will get you accustomed to identifying lesions in primary teeth and choosing the appropriate treatment for carious tissue removal and restoration or simply preventing the lesion from growing. Procedures will be done on primary typodont teeth with pulps.
