Cradle to Grave: Oral Pathology Through the Lifespan
3.00
Overview:
This course is an
overview of oral pathologic conditions affecting children, adults and
geriatric clients.
It includes both
common and uncommon conditions presented in a fun, engaging manner.
Many of the images and cases presented are from Ms. Lukes’ own
personal collection of lesion images accumulated over 36 years as a
dental hygienist and a 28-year teaching career. Etiology, clinical
appearance, treatment options and relevance to dental hygiene are
included for each lesion/condition. Comparison images for inclusion
in the differential diagnosis will also be presented and discussed.
This course can serve as an excellent update for seasoned
hygienists/dentists or a relevant review for new graduates entering
the field.

Caring for Caries by Risk with silver, fluoride, iodine, xylitol, glass, and steel - Part I (INCLUDES SDF certificate)
3.00
Overview:
Course description:
The
management of tooth decay is being transformed by expanding the definition of
“treatment.” Hopes for powerful non-invasive treatments and preventives have
focused into data that clearly show which material works to control decay and
how well. The path to cavity-free communities is lit by controlling the
bacteria and strengthening the tooth with combinations of metals and halides
(as in silver fluoride and glass ionomer), sealing in cavities (as with Hall
crowns), and limiting the generational passage of cavity-causing bacteria with
xylitol.
In
this session, hands-on experiences will drive familiarity with these powerful
and effective techniques and with the underlying mechanisms of dental caries.
The focus will be on silver fluoride (SDF), glass ionomer cement (GIC: sealants,
ITR/ART), Hall technique stainless steel crowns, povidone iodine and fluoride
varnish, and xylitol for new Moms. We will review the clinical evidence and
practical considerations for these techniques, dive into the underlying
scientific mechanisms, and role play to build confidence in presenting
unfamiliar options that actually work to control tooth decay.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to:
1. Assess caries risk factors and translate them into treatment modes.
2. Explain the indications, benefits, and risks for Silver Diamine Fluoride to patients.
3. Describe the evidence and level of success for using SDF to treat or prevent dental caries.
4. Demonstrate the techniques for applying Silver Diamine Fluoride.
5. Demonstrate the technique for placing sealants with high viscosity glass ionomer cement.
6. Guide families through deciding on topical-only versus invasive caries management.
7. Explain the differences between SDF, ITR/ART, SMART, and Hall crowns to patients.

Going Viral: Oral Manifestations of Viral Diseases
3.00
Overview:
Many viruses
affecting the US population have intra- and extra-oral
manifestations. This session will be an evidence-based presentation
of various viral infections that produce symptoms in and around the
oral cavity, including lesions from human papillomavirus infections,
the herpes family of viruses (HSV, EBV, VZV), coxsackie virus, and
the human immunodeficiency virus. Measles and mumps will also be
reviewed due to recent cases of infections in non-immunized children.
Treatment options and therapies for alleviating discomfort from oral
lesions will be discussed. The session will include case
presentations for audience participation in the differential
diagnoses of lesions in the cases.

Keynote Speaker: Mary Otto - Author of "Teeth: The Story of Beauty, Inequality, and the Struggle for Oral Health in America"
2.00
Overview:
Come hear from Mary Otto, author of Teeth: The Story of Beauty, Inequality, and the Struggle for Oral Health in America.
Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America’s silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto’s subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland’s teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of “pearly whites”; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay.
In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain.
Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related.
Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.
Objectives: - Provide an overview of HIV/AIDS Identify common oral manifestations with HIV/AIDS - Discuss proper infection control for patients with HIV/AIDS - Understand the implications of HIV/AIDS and frequently encountered comorbidities - Understand the implications of laboratory blood analysis results and clinical treatment - Discuss ethical principles and the American Disabilities Act that involves treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS
