Course Description:
Although more people survive treatment of oral malignancies, the therapy often results in massive tissue injury. In addition, radiation therapy leaves these patients in a permanent risk category for the later development of osteoradionecrosis. Do you really understand all the complications that follow radiation therapy to the head and neck? Would you know how to alleviate patient suffering? Would you know enough to provide dental treatment without putting the patient at risk of osteoradionecrosis? Does your office have a protocol for treatment of cancer patients before and after radiation?
If you answered, "No," to any of the above, you need to consider taking this course. The workbook should answer all your questions, from preradiation considerations to care of obturators on long term survivors. It also includes a one page instruction sheet for patients that you are invited to copy for your own use.

The workbook concludes with an appendix listing the drugs that raise and lower blood glucose, as well as several photographs of clinical lesions. This course is an excellent, concise review for health professionals.
AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION NEWS
Red Flags Rule enforcement delayed
Posted May 1, 2009
The Association will continue to challenge the Red Flags rule while the Federal Trade Commission delays enforcement until August 1, ADA President John S. Findley told members in an April 30 e-gram. The e-gram text is below and posted at www.ada.org. "The ADA’s vigorous efforts to reverse the FTC’s regulation, coupled with the nearly 11,000 e-mails [ADA members] sent to Congress, have had the desired effect," Dr. Findley said.
Dear Colleagues,
I am very pleased to inform you that the Federal Trade Commission has issued a 90-day delay in the enforcement of its Red Flags Rule, which would have gone into effect May 1. This delay will give the ADA more time to challenge its applicability to small health care providers such as dentists.
The ADA’s vigorous efforts to reverse the FTC’s regulation, coupled with the nearly 11,000 e-mails you sent to Congress, have had the desired effect. We are grateful to Congressman Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) and House Small Business Chair Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.), both of whom wrote to the FTC in support of our position.
The rule would require financial institutions and creditors to develop written plans to prevent and detect identity theft. FTC originally deemed dentists and physicians as creditors who are subject to the rule when they don't receive payment in full from their patients at the time of treatment.
The ADA believes that characterizing dentists as “creditors” in this context is incorrect, and our friends in Congress agree.
Rep. Simpson and nine other dentist and physician House members signed a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz asserting that the agency’s interpretation of the authorizing law “goes beyond the intent of Congress and has failed to consider the financial burden this decision will have on dental and medical practices and those of other health care providers across the country.”
Rep. Velazquez also wrote to the FTC saying that the agency “has failed to meet the requirements” of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires agencies to assure that small business entities are given an opportunity to participate in making rules that have a significant economic impact on them.
The FTC announced the delay in the rule’s enforcement on FTC.gov.
I wish to thank all of you who have helped with this effort. We will keep you apprised of developments.
Sincerely,
John S. Findley, D.D.S.

'Fresh ideas' arrive with first-time visitors to leadership conference
Posted May 12, 2009
By Craig Palmer
Washington—Dr. Joshua Austin brings those "fresh ideas" the Washington Leadership Conference welcomes.
"Honored" to be asked by his local component society and "excited" to be on Capitol Hill talking to members of Congress about his profession, Dr. Austin was one of more than 100 first time attendees at the annual springtime WLC.
"The speakers we've had are just amazing," he said during a break in the May 11–13 conference. "And with the information we've been able to glean I've been very impressed."
To be sure, the American Dental Association leadership, members of Congress, political strategists and media pundits came to the WLC courting Dr. Austin, a general practice associate in San Antonio, Tex., looking to establish his own practice soon and planning to return for WLCs yet to come.
"We need your fresh ideas," said Dr. John S. Findley, ADA president, in welcoming more than 100 tripartite dentists, volunteers and staff to their first Washington Leadership Conference. "We need your experience," he told some 400 WLC veterans, many returning for a decade or more.
"I applaud you for being here today," said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), one of two members of Congress who practiced dentistry and one of two congressional speakers who came to the WLC asking for professional advice on the issues of the day, health reform prominent among them.
"Your knowledge is highly important when you talk to members of Congress," Rep. Simpson said before returning to Capitol Hill to introduce a House resolution honoring dentistry and the American Dental Association on its 150th anniversary. "I appreciate your taking time to be here to educate my colleagues about what is important in the health care debate."
"I applaud your dedication to your patients," said Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), lead sponsor with Reps. Simpson and Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) of the ADA-backed Essential Oral Health Care Act, a bill offering incentives to states to increase access to oral health care services through dental Medicaid programs.
"When you're meeting with your members of Congress, I urge you to share your perspective on what types of reform are needed," Rep. Ross said. "And ask them to cosponsor my bill, which is your bill, the Essential Oral Health Care Act."
The Washington Leadership Conference offers a two-way conversation, and many attendees arrange meetings with their members of Congress to discuss the issues. Dr. Austin was on his way to several such meetings himself.

Placement Of Dental Implants Results In Minimal Bone Loss
Article Date: 13 May 2009 - 5:00 PDT
Dental implants are frequently used as a replacement for missing teeth in order to restore the patient's tooth function and appearance. Previous research demonstrates that the placement of a dental implant disrupts the host tissue in the area of the implant, so practitioners often focus their treatment planning to carefully maintain the patient's bone and gum tissue surrounding the implant. A recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology found that the majority of bone remodeling occurred in the time between the implant placement and final prosthesis placement.
Subsequently, little mean bone change was observed in the five years following the implant placement, independent of type of restoration or implant length. The study, conducted at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, evaluated 596 dental implants placed in 192 patients over the age of 18. Patients were screened for adequate oral hygiene and bone volume. Exclusion criteria included heavy smoking, chewing tobacco use, drug abuse, and untreated periodontal disease, amongst others.
Study author Dr. David Cochran, DDS, PhD, Chair of the Department of Periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and President of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), believes that this study provides additional support for the use of dental implants to replace missing teeth. "As a periodontist, I am committed to saving my patients' natural dentition whenever possible. However, the results of this study help further indicate that a dental implant is an effective and dependable tooth replacement option. Since the patient's host tissue surrounding the dental implant largely remains unchanged in the five years following placement, the dental team can now focus on periodic assessment and treatment of other areas in the mouth as needed, and know that the implant is doing its job as a viable substitute solution."
