There have been no Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes available to report therapeutic treatment of patients with generalized moderate to severe gingival inflammation, with or without pseudo-pockets but exhibiting no bone loss. In 2017 this is the gap filled by D4346. Yet it isn’t just a new code; implementation will take specific evaluation, measurement and documentation of inflammation, as well as systemic conditions, medications, recession, attachment loss, restorative and occlusal factors, behavior modification needs, and family health history. With our dental hygiene process of care, we have ways to successfully Name It, Claim It, Treat It™.

STUDENT SESSION: The Practical Side of Dental Hygiene
3.00
Overview:
Your instructors have meticulously guided you through the fundamentals of dental hygiene processes and procedures. Your patients have reaped the rewards of your knowledge and skills as you pushed through two years of intense training. Your friends and family are eagerly anticipating the day when you can rejoin them and the “real world”.
Once done . . . then what? You have graduated, you have completed and passed your boards and you are ready to start that first job. But are you ready for private practice? Do you know what to expect, or what will be expected of you on a day-to-day basis?
This course will provide 3 hours of practical information to help prepare you for that first position as a licensed dental hygienist.
Specific topics include:
Understanding dental “insurance” and how it is directly related to risk management/malpractice issues.
What “cleaning procedure” (and the appropriate CDT code) do I select when determining a patient’s dental hygiene/periodontal treatment plan?
The business side of the dental hygiene department. What is my measurable value to a dental practice?

Overview: Your hygiene department should be the force moving the rest of your practice forward. It’s calculated that approximately 60% of the productivity in the doctor’s treatment room comes from the hygiene room. Calculating how to keep the hygiene department running smoothly and efficiently will ensure the practice a healthy, long life. The hygiene team is more than the hygienists; it includes support from the business team, restorative clinical team, and the Dentist. In order to gain “case acceptance” from the patient and to calculate the hygiene team’s effectiveness, the whole team must understand the total hygiene department mission and objectives. Calculating optimum productivity requires understanding “the numbers” and what they mean in terms of care delivered to your patients.
Learning Objectives:
Understand department benchmarks and optimize department efficiency
Correlate the oral-systemic health connection
Develop awareness of the new treatment paradigms and technologies
Present treatment options in a manner to gain acceptance
Review how to implement a hygiene assistant
Learn how to calculate hygiene retention
Discover the key strategies for an efficient system

Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol - The 21st Century Dental Hygiene Therapist (Part 1)
3.00
Overview:
Sex, Drugs & Alcohol – The 21st Century Dental Hygiene Therapist
The role of the dental hygienist has changed significantly in the last 100 years. From dental technician to dental therapist, the face of our every day interaction with patients has taken on new challenges bringing with it new responsibilities.
Every day we are faced with difficult conversations that go far beyond the dental health of our patients. As always, we face the challenges of discussing issues like smoking and chewing tobacco with our patients. However, these are not the only addictions we need to be prepared to deal with in our practice. Addressing the effects of alcohol and drug abuse are topics we need to be prepared to discuss. The increase in oral cancer related to the Human Papilloma Virus has forced us to look at the way we address oral sex as one of the new risk factors in oral cancer. We also fight societies impact resulting in the increased incidence of bulimia, which traditionally was prevalent in women, now showing increases in our male patients. To add to these complex conversations – these challenges are being seen in our teen and young adult patients.
This course takes an interactive approach to dealing with these complex conversations. We will uncover relevant statistics and valuable information to use as a foundation to bring into the workshop. Participants will then work together to discuss the best ways to dialogue with our patients on these challenging topics.
At the conclusion of this course, attendees should be able to:
Recognize situations and opportunities to help patients with complex problems that affect dental health.
Understand the dental complications that area associated with smoking, drugs, marijuana, alcohol, oral sex, bulimia and other socially influenced patient issues.
Provide valuable information to patients on complex topics through good dialogue and discussion.

More Things You Didn't Learn In Dental Hygiene School - Cardiovascular Disease to Supplements! (Part 1)
3.00
Overview:
In spite of impressive technologic advances in the field of medicine, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. In our dental offices we are seeing more and more patients with heart disease. Greater than 1 in 3 of our adult patients have one or more types of heart disease and it is the most common medical condition that dental professionals confront. Through a concise and understandable review of cardiovascular disease, your immune system and more, you can make immediate powerful and practical practice changes that will improve your life and the life of your patient. I blend my own personal experience of open heart surgery with cutting edge research to carry maximum relevance for the attendees.
