Time	Title	Credits
09:00 AM - 12:00 PM MST	Cracking Periodontal Codes with Class: Diagnostic Decisions	3.00

Overview: Cracking Periodontal Codes with Class: Diagnostic Decisions Ramifications of an inadequate periodontal diagnosis lead to diseased patients, financially unproductive practices and of greatest concern: legal action via negligence. Failure to diagnose periodontal disease is consistently a top complaint ﬁled with state dental boards. The ﬁrst step in treating and managing a patient’s care (with maximum insurance reimbursement) is diagnosing disease accurately, ethically, and comprehensively. As diagnostics continually evolve, dental providers are encouraged to put down the scaler and pick up the probe. Active and appropriate diagnosis leads to comprehensive and effective therapy. This course walks the dental provider through the nine classiﬁcations of health and disease as established by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), as well as effective clinical decision-making in the management of each diagnosis. The struggle for appropriate diagnostics to maximize insurance coverage remains a common stress in the dental ofﬁce. Katrina Sanders RDH, M.Ed authored a textbook which is used in dental hygiene schools to teach the foundational details behind periodontal diagnostics and coding. This course walks the dental billing team through effective coding techniques to best enable insurance coverage. We will review anatomical and clinical observations that aid in the identiﬁcation of active disease as well as the system for case types and classifying diseases. Gain guidance in coding, narrative suggestions for informed refusal, and templates for appeals to support advanced coverage by third-party payers. Objectives: Review clinical parameters involved in distinguishing periodontal classiﬁcations, including contrasting terms of gingival disease and periodontitis Discuss the paradigm shift within the nonsurgical approach to periodontal therapy List, describe, and differentiate the various periodontal diseases Analyze effective protocols for implementing diagnostic, preventive and periodontal codes Explore future trends of periodontal classiﬁcation as discussed by the American Academy of Periodontology Presenter: Katrina Sanders RDH, BSDH, M.Ed, RF Credits: 3.00 Course Contact: info@codha.org Course Categories: Periodontics (Diagnosis, Treatment (surgical/non-surgical), Maintenance, Scaling / Instrumentation, Supportive Perio Therapies) Provider Approval: Associated, affiliated, sponsored, approved, accredited, or offered by the (ADHA) American Dental Hygienists' Association,Colorado Dental Hygienists' Assoication Educational Type: Live Educational Method: Lecture Prerequisites: none Sponsor(s): None Conflict of Interest Disclosure: None All CE Zoom related support: support.cezoom.com

08:30 AM - 11:30 AM MST	Local Anesthesia: New Techniques, The Latest Trends, and Troubleshooting	3.00

Overview: Local Anesthesia: New Techniques, The Latest Trends, and Troubleshooting If there is one universal truth shared between dental providers and patients, it’s this: Everybody hates The Shot. But does it have to be that way? Injection failure not only causes unnecessary patient discomfort and apprehension, it can also frustrate providers, as well. The causes are varied; patient speciﬁc considerations, varied anatomical modiﬁcations, and injection technique. As a practicing clinician for over a decade, Katrina has never delivered an Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block yet she consistently achieves successful mandibular anesthesia. Learn how you can, too! Now for the good news. In this interactive, engaging course, Katrina Sanders, RDH, M.Ed. guides participants through the common causes of injection failure, including anatomical and physiological conditions. Explore techniques used in private practice, including appropriate doses of anesthesia, anatomical and armamentarium considerations. We’ll also discover alternative injection techniques and discuss new trends in the provision of pain management. Building on a solid basis of anatomy, attendees will learn how to deliver and troubleshoot local alternative injections— safely and effectively. Objectives: Review indications, relevant anatomy and technique factors of common dental injections Identify the physiological and anatomical considerations that may lead to inadequate anesthesia Develop critical thinking skills for troubleshooting local anesthetic delivery Gain strategies for addressing inadequate local anesthesia during patient care Discover alternative delivery techniques Learn about new trends in the delivery and reversal of local anesthesia Presenter: Katrina Sanders RDH, BSDH, M.Ed, RF Credits: 3.00 Course Contact: info@codha.org Course Categories: Local Anesthesia/Local Anesthetic Provider Approval: Associated, affiliated, sponsored, approved, accredited, or offered by the (ADHA) American Dental Hygienists' Association,Colorado Dental Hygienists' Assoication Educational Type: Live Educational Method: Lecture Prerequisites: Sponsor(s): None Conflict of Interest Disclosure: None All CE Zoom related support: support.cezoom.com
08:30 AM - 11:30 AM MST	The Stress Mess: Systemic and Dental Ramifications of the Stress Response	3.00

Overview: The Stress Mess: Systemic and Dental Ramifications of the Stress Response Stress has become an integral part of everyday life. Whether rushing to an appointment across town during rush hour or dealing with difficult patient scenarios, we are often “stressed out” by the end of the day. How does stress affect our ability to make clinical decisions? How does chronic stress affect overall health? How can people better manage stressors to decrease its adverse effects on well-being? This course will help the participant answer these and many more questions through a fun, interactive program based on the latest research findings. Also included in this program will be how chronic stress impacts oral and systemic health. As a recognized risk factor for periodontal diseases, stress reduction strategies for patient care will be presented in order for the participant to devise and implement treatment plans addressing stress-related sequelae. Because stress effects can be gender specific, a portion of the course will be devoted to how men and women differ in stress management, stress responses and stress manifestations. Objectives: Relate the physiological aspects of the stress response to systemic and oral manifestations Understand the effects of stress on immune system function Recognize how stress impacts periodontal health Emphasize dietary strategies designed to minimize detrimental effects of stress to dental hygiene patients Understand gender differences in stress responses Incorporate stress relieving strategies in the office and home setting Presenter: Betsy Reynolds RDH, MS Credits: 3.00 Course Contact: info@codha.org Course Categories: Stress Management,Medical Health Subjects / Oral Systemic Health Connections (Diabetes, Heart Disease, etc) / Scientific Courses,Biological Sciences (Oral Biology / Microbiology / Neurology / Physiology) Provider Approval: Associated, affiliated, sponsored, approved, accredited, or offered by the (ADHA) American Dental Hygienists' Association,Colorado Dental Hygienists' Assoication Educational Type: Live Educational Method: Lecture Prerequisites: Sponsor(s): None Conflict of Interest Disclosure: None All CE Zoom related support: support.cezoom.com
08:30 AM - 11:30 AM MST	Dental Hygiene: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly	3.00

Overview: Dental Hygiene: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Round Table Discussion) Remember the days of Dental Hygiene School? We had good days, bad days; we were brilliant and had moments of failure. We experienced the stress, hardship, fulfillment and success of hygiene school - and we did it together. We always had our fellow hygiene students to bounce ideas off of, problem solve with and share or successful breakthroughs. Now that we work in private dental practice, it is even more important to have these opportunities to share with other hygienists. This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity to problem solve specific issues of hygiene practice. We will work together to break down each situation to create solutions that can be implemented instantly in your office. We will wrap up the session with the sharing of our success (SOS). We will share our clinical, product, education and practice management successes to provide ideas that will allow us to grow as hygienists, educators, and members of a successful dental team. Objectives: Recognize the steps required for problem solving every day dental hygiene practice issues. Understand the importance of sharing our practice successes in the development of new protocol we can implement in our offices. Learn the value of sharing our knowledge with each other to renew our passion in dental hygiene.
