“Immediate implants” Most patients see implant therapy as a long and drawn out process. Using various techniques to immediately place

implants following tooth extraction we can shorten the course of treatment and allows patients to return to function much

sooner. This lecture will cover indications for immediate implants, radiographic pearls, timelines and success rates, as well

as details in case selection.

“Current Infection Prevention Protocols and Recommendations” Are you in Compliance? Infection Prevention is essential for the health and safety of patients and dental health professionals. In order to prevent the

transmission of microorganisms and disease requires breaking the chain of infection. This entails performing a series of re-

peatable and sequential steps for effective infection prevention. The CDC recommendations on infection control for the

dental setting include Standard Precautions that should be followed on a daily basis, and includes procedures to be per-

formed at the beginning of the day, before and after treating each patient and at the end of the day. The objective of this

course is to provide the dental healthcare professional with an overview of current infection prevention protocols that are

required to break the chain of infection and prevent disease transmission.
