Clinical Classification of Toothaches
This course has been reviewed and approved for 8 hours.
Ernest Lado, DDS.
Even when they are not his own, toothaches can be a dentist’s most vexing and challenging problems. They come unexpectedly, often needing immediate attention, invariably on a day when you’re already running behind schedule. When a patient calls complaining his tooth hurts, you and your staff need to render initial and efficient assessment over the phone and schedule treatment appropriately. Your reputation is at stake. A patient in pain that is poorly attended to is a public relations nightmare. When a patient does come in, you need to treat him quickly and effectively. He needs to get out of pain and out of your office as fast as possible.
This course gives you and your staff everything needed to deal with a problem that can be more of a pain in the neck for you than a pain in the mouth for your patient, and does so in using clear and concise language. It first discusses proper classification of toothaches based on the presenting clinical signs and symptoms. It then covers the dynamics of pulpal-periapical processes, radiographic evidence of pathological pulpal-periapical conditions, pulpal conditions that are caused by a progression of pulp disease.
After reviewing the various tests that help provide a diagnosis of the problem, you will be able to practice your skills by trying your hand at solving a few clinical cases. One of our most popular courses for dentists, we think you’ll like it.
Care and Maintenance of Dental Implants
This course has been reviewed and approved for 3 hours.
Keith Rossein, DDS.
Approximately 28 million Americans are without teeth. On average, Americans 45 to 75 have only half their teeth, and 75 million Americans are missing 2 to 3 teeth. These statistics are not pretty. Given the 90% success rate of implants, their greater stability, comfort, and ability to inhibit the process of bone resorption, dental implants have become one our best options for patients wanting a healthy, attractive smile.
This course helps prepare you to provide service to implant patients by enhancing home care and office maintenance. Among the issues it covers are the gingival, connective tissue and bone relationships to dental implants, causative factors of peri-implantitis, factors for long-term clinical success, maintenance protocol, procedures for assessing implant health, and oral hygiene products and home care techniques for implant patients.
Local Anesthetics
This course has been reviewed and approved for 7 hours.
Ernest Lado, DDS.
Prior to the late 1800's, the sheer thought of having dental treatment broke many a stalwart patient into a cold sweat. At the time, most dental procedures consisted of grueling extractions during which a major source of pain-relief poured out the mouth of a whiskey bottle. Early anesthetics took much of the pain out of dental treatment, but had serious side effects including allergic reactions and addiction. These problems disappeared with the introduction of lidocaine, which is now the "gold standard" of local anesthesia.
The challenge remains, however, to use local anesthetics correctly. That’s why this course is so important to your practice. It helps you provide optimal dental care with minimal patient discomfort. Among the topics the course covers are the fundamentals of neurotransmission, properties of local anesthetics, appropriate techniques for effective local anesthesia, reasons for failure to achieve ideal anesthesia, adverse systemic reactions and management techniques for emergencies related to local anesthetics. Keep the workbook for your office reference library.
Antimicrobials in Dentistry
This course has been reviewed and approved for 8 hour.
Ernest Lado DDS, Matthew J. Dennis, DDS.
This course reviews the development of antimicrobials and their place in dentistry. The goal is to enable you to select appropriate antibiotics in terms of potency against oral pathogens and to balance that potency against possible toxicity and hypersensitivity reactions. You'll learn to classify antibiotics according to their effect on target pathogens and range of activity so that you will quickly bring odontogenic infections under control. Refresh your knowledge of penicillin and the best alternatives when penicillin cannot be prescribed. Be prepared to recognize when antifungal agents are required. Finally, you'll be prepared to manage patients who need antibiotic prophylaxis for endocarditis and those who are taking antibiotics prescribed for medical conditions. The world of microbes can affect dental treatment. After taking this course, you can be confident in your ability to conquer that world.
Diabetes Mellitus
This course has been reviewed and approved for 5 hours.
Siegfried Schmidt, MD, PhD.
The course begins with a discussion of the anatomy and physiology of the pancreas and its role in metabolism. The author goes on to define diabetes mellitus and the role of insulin in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. A summary and discussion of blood glucose regulation follows.
The symptoms and characteristics of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are examined as well as other, rarer types of diabetes. The role of glucose tolerance testing, a review of diabetic skin lesions, and signs and manifestations of poor metabolic control will broaden your understanding of this disease.
A discussion of the management of diabetes mellitus, including the maintenance of the patient’s oral health, need for physical exercise, glucose monitoring, nutrition, pharmacological treatment, and emergency intervention will improve your ability to counsel patients and respond appropriately to signs of poor metabolic control.
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.
HIV & Aids Epidemic
This course has been reviewed and approved for 4 hours.
Frank W Stout, DDS, MS & Siegfried Schmidt, MD, PhD.
This workbook deals with the immunology and pathogenesis of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Discover the nature of the immune system, in particular, cellular immunity, T-Lymphocytes and the progress of the disease as the immune system collapses. Learn to discuss with patients the epidemiology, transmission and prevention of AIDS. Know the signs and symptoms of the opportunistic infections.
Implement universal precautions, disinfection, and sterilization, and waste disposal procedures in your office. Know your legal responsibilities. Use the appendixes for reference into new therapies and protocols for occupational exposure.
For a concise and accurate study of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, this course is a superlative resource. It is designed for practitioners who are applying for their initial licenses in states with mandatory AIDS education and is suitable for all licensees who want to review the new knowledge that has come to light as advances in AIDS therapy have accelerated.
Emergency Preparedness
This course has been reviewed and approved for 12 hour.
Thomas Fast, DDS,MS & Siegfried Schmidt, MD,PhD.
Emergency Preparedness is a programmed manual for licensees who prefer the ease and portability of our workbook format. This text is one of our most popular courses. It covers the same material as our Interactive Computer Course, with the addition of more detail on emergency drugs and fluids, injection techniques, dosages, classifications of severity of respiratory and circulatory emergencies, and written technique details. Take your pick from either format, or get both if you want to be an emergency preparedness guru.
Sample Courses
Myofascial Pain & the TMJ
This course has been reviewed and approved for 12 hours. Workbook.
Ernest Lado, DDS
With expanding knowledge drastically changing the clinical approach to myofascial pain and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, decision-making must be based on a thorough knowledge of the joint and of all the factors that go into causing chronic pain. The pain felt by TMJ patients can have both physical and psychological origins, and diagnosis and therapy must be based on a complete investigation of all contributing factors. Most patients can be helped without invasive, irreversible therapy.
This illustrated workbook offers a review of the anatomy and physiology of the TMJ, explores contributing factors to myofascial pain, presents a diagnostic paradigm, and provides you with some noninvasive, reversible techniques to help the patient. You will learn to test hyperactive muscles by placing pressure on trigger points. Your patients can be taught simple exercises that will help them relieve pain and stress in the joint. The satisfaction of restoring function to patients who have bounced from one office to another attempting to find relief will bring you great personal pleasure.
An excellent, concise account of this common disorder, this course is highly recommended for offices who want to explore a noninvasive approach to therapy for patients faced with chronic pain.
Pharmacology for Dentistry
This 2005 drug reference book is one of our most popular courses. Based on a compact up-to-date pharmacology reference for the dental practitioner, the dentist will become familiar with basic drug data, side effects and drug interactions of concern to dentistry. Also included is the importance of dental consideration for treatment and patient/family teaching. A handy textbook with essential and practical information needed on a daily basis. Text included: Mosby's Dental Drug Reference, 6th Edition by Tommy W. Gage, RPh, DDS, PhD and Frieda Atherton Pickett, RHD, MS
Problem Solving in Endodontics
This excellent course focuses on the problem solving approach to the delivery of endodontic care. Included are prevention, identification and management, within a realistic clinical perspective, that is guided by the standard of care and quality assurance. Problem based clinical cases with numerous radiographs emphasize the need for critical assessment, interpretation and application within sound treatment planning principles and clinical techniques. Includes new concepts in problem solving management of dental trauma and expanded horizons in canal preparation and obturation and pulpal and periodontal relationships and the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Text included: Problem solving in endodontics Prevention, Identification and Management- 3rd Edition by James L. Gutmann DDS, FACD, FICD; Thom C Dumsha, DDS, MS; Paul E. Lovdahl, DDS. MSD, and Eric Hovlans, DDS M.ed, MBA, FACD, FICD.
Orofacial Disease Update
This course provides an overview and the essential core knowledge of orofacial medicine necessary to assist the dentist and the dental team. Focuses on clinical aspects of orofacial disorders, etiology and management. The text provides guidance on caring for patients with common problems and those needing referrals to specialists. Text included: Orofacial Disease Update for the Dental Clinical Team by Crispian Scully, CBE, MD, PhD and Stephen Porter, PhD, MD, FDS.
Provisional Restorations: Key to Clinical Success
This course has been reviewed and approved for 4 hours.
Keith Rossein, DDS
Aesthetically pleasing provisional or temporary restorations requires a sophisticated knowledge of the purposes for provisionalization as well as knowledge of the best materials to use. In addition, in order to perform this service most effectively, knowledgeable dentists recognise that auxiliary personnel can save time and perform many of the laboratory and educational functions. Both direct and indirect methods of construction are presented in detail. A method of reinforcing and strengthening these provisional restorations for longer use by the patient is suggested. To conclude, the finishing of these restorations is discussed.
Accompanying the description of the construction of these provisional restorations are useful photographs illustrating the procedures. This workbook is invaluable to the crown and bridge clinician.
