Course Title: Maximizing Outcomes for Full Coverage Restorative Dentistry
Course Description:
This course will define what constitutes an ideal treatment outcome for full coverage restorative dentistry. The definition will stress longevity and the ingredients required for a high percentage of case longevity rather than esthetics and economics. A new paradigm for evaluating how full coverage restorations should be accomplished will be presented. The presentation will showcase how full coverage restorative dentistry can benefit patients, as well as its enormous track record of successful outcomes. Numerous examples will be presented from a library of more than 100,000 pictures taken over seven decades. Many of these cases have been documented with follow-up X-Rays over decades.
Course Objectives:
Participants will learn:
–what constitutes an ideal outcome for full coverage restorations
–why a precision mindset and a step-by-step approach to full coverage restorations is important for successful outcome.
–how full coverage restorations can be designed to eliminate recurrent decay and periodontal bone loss; and how to apply proven engineering principles to ensure this outcome.
–the difference between an overall point of view and a piecemeal point of view in examining and treating patients.
–Why fixed bridgework on natural tooth abutments often offers superior outcomes to the single-tooth implant
–When to best utilize fixed restorations, removable restorations, and implant restorations for the best possible outcome.

Course Title:
Diagnostic Considerations and Restorative Management of Difficult Cases
Course Description:
Difficult cases can be simplified when carefully thought out. A strong background of proficiency in crown and bridge, precision attachments, restorative dentistry and implants allows the practitioner to choose what is best for the patient, not what the practitioner can do well. This course will present a unique approach to diagnosis and treatment planning that will offer the practitioner more options to help patients—including patients who are not candidates for sophisticated dentistry. The approach is evidence-based and numerous case examples will be demonstrated from a library of more than 100,000 slides, digital pictures and X-Rays taken during the past 70 years.
Course Objectives:
Participants will learn:
–a rationale for choosing treatment options
–how to manage difficult cases such as excessive wear, periodontal bone loss and malocclusions
–how to restore teeth with little or no clinical crowns
–when to best utilize fixed restorations, removable restorations and implant restorations
–about the Double-Tilt Precision Attachment Partial Denture, and why it is often a superior treatment option for both natural tooth and implant abutments

Patricia Pine, COM, CSFT Pat has over 30 years of experience in dentistry as a dental hygienist and national and international speaker. She trains dental offices to be safe and healthy. Pat hung up her scalers 15 years ago, and now devotes her time and education to Myofunctional Therapy. She became interested in myofunctional therapy as a result of her son’s tethered oral tissues and tongue thrust in need of therapy. After many years of braces, his teeth kept moving, and no one realized he had a silent tongue thrust as an adult. After assisting patients with oral disorders, Pat explored methods of expanding the palate, airway surgery, and more. She continued her education in Cranial Sacral Therapy to find answers for patient issues that were not being addressed. Pat has helped patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries, nail-biting, thumb-sucking, tongue thrust, open-mouth breathing, and swallowing concerns. Pat is an active board member of the International Association of Orofacial Myology (IAOM), the American Academy of Dental Hygiene(AADH), the Arizona Central Dental Hygiene Society (CADHS), and Arizona’s East Valley Dental Hygiene Association.

Dr. Shawn Bader's Office: 8890 E Desert Cove Ave; Scottsdale, AZ 85260Description:
This course will demonstrate how abnormal muscle patterns can create havoc in the mouth. Emphasis will center on how a tethered tongue can prevent the growth and development of the mandible and how tethered tongues create chewing, swallowing, and airway concerns. Patient anxiety is often reflected in the mouth via grinding, clenching, and TMD via abnormal muscle patterns. Orofacial Myology, a holistic approach to repattern oral and facial muscles, is directly relevant to all dental and orthodontic treatment. This course will help attendees understand how orofacial myology can enhance dental practice and prevent relapse. It is designed to be an essential addition to professional development. Course attendees will evaluate each other for tethered oral tissues during the hands-on portion.Objectives:
Participants will:- Learn to recognize tethered oral tissues
- Discover how to measure and classify TOTs (hands-on)
- Understand why the tongue is often considered "the CEO of the body"
- Identify forward head posture
- Recognize reverse swallow, and parafunctional habits that impact orofacial function
- Learn when to refer patients for Orofacial Myology to prevent dental or orthodontic relapse
