While dental technologies are ever-evolving, they often transform in ways that add complexity and cost without proportionate profitability or practice appeal. All too often, our technological uptake is fragmented and rationalized by simple procedural substitution (i.e., conventional versus digital impressions, etc.), but, when we can extend the value of our new approaches across all aspects of the patient-care experience, we see that the benefits transcend simple savings on lab...

Bioactivity may be defined as the ability of a pulp-capping material to produce dentinal bridging or a restorative material to release ions to help prevent recurrent caries. Both of these claims will be reviewed in this lecture. While discussing pulp-capping materials, the evidence for selective caries removal for the treatment of deep caries will be discussed. While discussing bioactive restorative materials, research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of... Details

Until the last decade, orthodontics has been perceived as an endeavor wrapped in the inscrutability of cephalometric x-rays and all those measurements! This will NOT be that lecture! Dentistry has undergone a digital transformation from aligners to custom fixed appliances. While there has been a sea change in how we treat patients, what has not changed is why we treat patients. This means diagnosis comes first, followed by the treatment methodology.
The orthodontic profession must... Details

The upper respiratory tract is mostly housed in the facial skeleton and investing soft tissue. As dentists, we have an integral role in the identification of sleep-disordered breathing patients by evaluating their facial skeleton and jaw phenotype as well as ruling out the risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing through multiple diagnostic means. CBCT evaluation of the craniofacial complex can reveal such risk factors in the nasal cavity, sinuses, nasopharynx and oropharynx as... Details
