Medical Emergencies for the Dental Team:Protecting Your Patient, Protecting YourselfAre You a Healthsmart Dentist?

911The typical dentist can expect to face two dozen medical emergencies in the course of a career. Although the majority of these emergencies are self-limiting with proper treatment, any emergency may turn into a life-threateningdisaster ifnotappropriatelymanaged.Thiscourse isdesignedtoequip thedentalofficewith the necessary information to develop an effective response to medical emergencies that may occur in the dental setting. Simulated emergencies using real-life scenarios will be presented using a computerized manikin, and participants will indicate their assessments and responses with a handheld voting system.

In this course you learn:l What are your responsibilities and liabilities in dealing with medical emergencies in your patients,passersby,andofficestaff?l What happens when you call 911.

Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency 430There is a growing interest among the dental profession to learn how to treat patients with sleep disordered breathing with oral appliances. The ability to have a continuum of education that will provide this opportunity in a structured fashion is not readily available at the present time. The UCLA mini-residency program is designed to offer a comprehensive experience for the practicing dentist that will connect the medical and dental aspects to this medical disorder. At the completion of the program, the dentist will be competently trained to provide care for these patients. The mini-residency will take place over 4 sessions (1 ½ days per month) for a 4 month period. The course will be comprised of lectures on dental sleep medicine and clinical hands-onexperiencethatwillculminateintheactualdelivery,adjustingandmodificationofanoralappli-ance for an optimal outcome.

Advanced Anterior Esthetics: A Hands-on Workshop980This course is for the dentist with a basic understanding of esthetic restorative procedures who wants a system to take esthetic diagnosis and treatment to the highest level. It builds upon the UCLA Aesthetic Continuum with advanced hands-on training. Multi Unit anterior cases are tricky because the dentist has to set up the case, use good smile design, properly prepare the case, and work with the lab to get the highest esthetic result.

This is the only course that teaches dentists the following in a hands-on workshop:l How to design, treatment sequence, prepare and deliver (you will do all of these cases in the workshop):

l multi-unit direct composite veneer case with life-like translucency and polish l multi-unit porcelain veneer cases l all-ceramic crowns that match existing teeth l diastema closure and complex bonding with invisible margins & perfect match l anterior bridge using metal-free frameworks and life-like pontic/tissue adaptation

Dentists will have laboratory work completed by the lab that they use and should expect to work hard during the course. Dr. Morley will teach methods for setting up and sequencing cases that he uses in his own successful esthetic private practice. Total hands-on experience and critique will be used to prepare participants for success in selecting, diagnosing and treating patients within their own practices. Skills learned in this course will allow participants to reach a higher level of performance in cosmetic dentistry whether or not they plan to present for AACD Accreditation.

Evidence-Based Dentistry for the Clinician 912In dental practice, uncertainties in what, when, why, where, and how to service patient dental needs may challenge decision-making. While patients may present with complexities in their physical, mental, and so-cialwell-being,aswellasdiseaseandinfirmities,theywanttobepartofdecision-making.Evidence-baseddentistry allows for this shared decision-making in reaching optimal clinical decisions that meet individual patient needs and expectations. This course is designed to enhance the understanding of Evidence-Based Dental Practice and develops a connection between researcher, clinician, and patient. In preparation for un-derstanding these roles, dentists will participate in the assessment, evaluation, and skill to distinguish good vs. bad research for engaging in decision-making using best evidence. The outcome of this participation is training in development and use of clinical practice guidelines for practicing dentists. A case presentation will be used to apply the knowledge gained and used in the course.

This course will:l Provide the necessary skills in assessment, evaluation, and treatment planning utilizing the ClinicalDecisionTreeofOralHealthbyusinga case study of an older patient with uncertain treatment optionsl Provide knowledge regarding the evidence- based dentistry conceptl Provide the knowledge to establish quickly and reliably what constitutes “good” or “bad” research related to the case studyl Provide elements by which dentists can effectively distinguish between statistical and clinical relevancel Provide the skills necessary to develop clinical guidelines regarding any given casel Apply the clinical practice guidelines to shared decision-making
