C.E. regulationsTo help you comply with the Dental Board of California regulations for C.E., CDA identifies each course as “Core,” “20%” or “non-eligible.”

Core — Courses that directly enhance the licensee’s knowledge, skill and competence in the provision of service to patients or the community. Core courses must comprise at least 80 percent of the credits in a renewal cycle.

20% — Courses considered to be of direct benefit to the licensee or outside the scope of dental practice in California. These courses must comprise only 20 percent of the credits in a renewal cycle.

Non-eligible — Courses that are considered to be of primary benefit to the licensee. CDA is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider. ADA CERP is a service of the

American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education. ADA CERP does not approve nor endorse individual courses or instructors, nor does it imply acceptance of credit hours by boards of dentistry.

CDA designates each activity for a specified number of C.E. units.

These courses meet the Dental Board of California requirements for continuing education units.

Drugs, Bugs and Dental Products: Prescription Drugs


Osteonecrosis of the jaw, severe diabetes, canker sores, herpes, unresponsive dental infections — what do these situations have in common? They

Cone Beam CT: Acquisition, Reconstruction, Artifacts


A perspective leveraging traditional mental models of radiography having a commonsensical, linear relationship between the attenuation of

the X-ray beam and the displayed image, fails us with CBCT. The expectation of performing the interpretation task based on those linear mental models is a setup for problems starting with the physics, carried through the reconstruction process and amplified with occult biases present in both perception and cognition brought to the image interpretation task.

Time: 10 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Audience: dentist, dental studentC.E. units: Core – 2.5

Cone Beam CT: Perception, Cognition, Interpretation


As important as understanding issues with CBCT reconstruction are to the interpretation task, the perceptual and cognitive issues are even more

important. The interpretive task sits on these complex and often occult relationships between perception and cognition, which have not been well studied in dentistry. In contrast with the morning presentation, this is a fun presentation that will introduce by way of example and participation many of these issues and the associated language.

Time: 2–4:30 p.m. Audience: dentist, RDH, dental studentC.E. units: Core – 2.5

Precision and Semi-precision Attachments: How, Where, When and Why?


Attachment dentistry provides superior cosmetic and functional alternatives to the traditional cast partial denture with clasps. Attachments are

simply rigid or resilient connectors that redirect the forces of occlusion. They are stress attenuators and absorbers. Their function is to preserve soft tissue and bone as well as provide retention, correction of angular discrepancies and cosmetic alternatives.

Treatment Planning Attachments and Implants – A Nuts-and-Bolts Approach


Attachments are rigid or resilient connectors that redirect the forces of occlusion. Their function is to protect and preserve soft tissue and bone,

and provide retention and cosmetic alternatives. Implants are devices that are rigidly fixated to bone. This differentiates them from natural teeth. Their long-term success depends on bone characteristics, occlusal relationships and loading forces as well as the types of attachments selected.

Time: 1:30–4 p.m.Audience: dentist, RDA, dental student, lab techC.E. units: Core – 2.5
