Join
us for the 32nd Annual Chautauqua Dental Congress June 29, 30 and July
1,
2011.
Lectures convene 9:00 am Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings in the Hall
of Christ, Chautauqua Institution.
Many of the visitors who return to Chautauqua year after year describe it
as an experience rather than a vacation -- a place for renewal. The Chautauqua
Institution was founded on the belief that everyone "has a right to be
all that he can be -- to know all that he can know." The experiences come
in many forms. A dramatic lakeside setting and the beauty of its National Historic
Landmark architecture make the Chautauqua Institution a thriving community
where visitors come to find intellectual and spiritual growth and renewal.

Minor Oral Surgery in General Dental Practice... A Review
Richard E. Hall, DDS, PhD, MD
Review common surgical procedures in the dental office including oral cancer diagnostic procedures, blood pressure concerns, and HIPPA basics, patient evaluation, surgical crown lengthening, pocket maintenance, third molar extraction and evaluation and treatment of oral lesions.
Information presented on sedation demonstrates the care required for its use and may be a good topic for in-office discussion. Dr. Hall also covers the management on perioperative bleeding, including a discussion of the over-the-counter herbs that are related to an increased risk of bleeding by the patient.
Basic oral surgery can be a satisfying and successful part of a general
dental practice. Dr. Hall presents oral surgical principles and practical
techniques for use by GPs in everyday practice. Learn some basic surgical
principles and patient management skills, tips on specific techniques for
various surgical situations, and hints about when to treat and when to refer.
The main surgical emphasis will be on uncomplicated and complicated exodontia,
impactions and some preprosthetic considerations. This course is a must for
the general practitioner who does extractions, not only as a refresher course,
but as a means to help avoid those uncomfortable clinical situations which
always seem to occur when the waiting room is full. But even if you don't
do much surgery in your practice, this review will help you feel more knowledgeable
regarding your surgical referrals.

and Chair, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, UB School of Dental

Temporomandibular Disorders: Evidence-Based Diagnosis & Rational
Management
Dr. Yoly Gonzalez
Diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has progressed substantially
over the past 30 years, and the ground-breaking Research Diagnostic Criteria
for TMD, translated into more than 20 languages and used in both clinical
and research settings around the world, has lead to valuable data pertaining
to these disorders. A large-scale study funded by NIH and which included
UB as a collaborating institution has consequently resulted in a new
diagnostic framework, the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD that is currently
in the prepublication stage, endorsed by many organizations and clinical
perspectives. Based on the data, the DC/TMD was designed to be a useful,
reliable, and valid classification method for the busy practitioner.
The content of this new system will be presented. By demonstrating valid
diagnostic procedures, clinical treatments advocated for many years by
specialist centers become better understood with regards to their rational
selection. Treatments appropriate for TMDs will be highlighted, and an
algorithm for effective implementation for management will be presented.
Space for discussion regarding this often-controversial aspect of TMD
will be part of the presentation structure.
Benefits of Attending:
Learn efficient, effective, and evidence-based diagnostic methods, and know
what treatments are regarded as appropriate and rational for these conditions
that are found throughout the body. Knowing when to refer due to yellow flags
that complicate the course of a disorder or affect prognosis from a given
treatment improves overall practice management.
At the completion of this program, participants should
be able to:
- Understand the basis for the DC/TMD and why it is evidence-based;
- Know the procedures needed for effective evaluation and diagnosis;
- Select rational treatments;
- Know when referral is in the best interest of both patient and practice.
Intended Audience
General practitioners and specialists should find this
information of value for any practice that sees individuals complaining of
pain. This information may be valuable for hygienists or assistants if they
are involved with patient assessment or treatment delivery associated with
TMD.

Conservative & (Controversial) Caries Management
John
Maggio, DDS
New materials and years of research data are leading dentists
to treat caries as a disease process, and not just a series of individual
lesions. Risk assessment & prevention,
early recalcification treatment, cautious and conservative caries removal,
and refurbishing of existing restorations will be discussed.
In this course, Dr. Maggio provides a literature review as a framework for reworking our approach to caries as a disease. Specific guidelines will be developed for risk assessment, prevention, and for treatment of small carious lesions, very deep lesions, and recurrent caries. Clinical cases will be presented, to directly apply this information to the dentist's daily routine.
After completing the course you wil:
- see caries as a disease process and approach it using the medical model
- recognize risk factors and methods of assessing risk
- choose the best prevention regimen(s) for each patient
- know how to recalcify incipient lesions, and unsightly white, yellow or brown lesions on anterior teeth
- be able to differentiate between indirect pulp caps, stepwise excavation, and incomplete caries removal
- understand the nature of soft dentin, and its ability to be recalcified
- know the indications for, and advantages of, the open sandwich technique
- see opportunities for repair of restorations, over replacement
This course stresses the need to rely on research findings to inform
clinical decision making.

of Restorative Dentistry, UB School of Dental Medicine
