2022-10-28 08:00 - 15:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Navigating the World of 3D Imaging

Presented by Dr. Peter Green and Dr. Michael Moroni
While 3D technology (cone beam) is a huge benefit to the patient and practice, proper implementation is essential. Review best practices that accelerate the rewards and minimize the frustration and workflow disruption within your practice. Through lecture and hands-on learning, understand the proper utilization of 3D Imaging within a general dentistry practice. Learn correct indications and contraindications for 3D imaging. Gain a basic knowledge for reading 3D images – key landmarks, normal vs. pathological and when to call in additional assistance. Finally, discover how to properly evaluate the return on investment for 3D imaging in your practice.
Objectives:

Learn the proper implementation and utilization of 3D imaging within your practice.
Learn the proper indication and contraindications for 3D imaging.
Learn basic head and neck anatomy including key landmarks.
Evaluate the return on investment for 3D imaging in your practice.

Note: The hands-on training will be conducted using the Planmeca ProMax CBCT unit and Romexis software.
Dr. Peter Green is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist in Raleigh, NC. He received his DMD from the Medical University of South Carolina and his MS and certificate in oral and maxillofacial radiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

MDDS Presents: HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training - SOLD OUT
2022-12-03 08:00 - 16:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training – SOLD OUT
Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Young

Anxiety and pain are two of the main obstacles to the acceptance of dental care. Appropriate administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can be a safe, effective means to alleviate mild to moderate fear and anxiety. In addition, it may diminish responses to pain and elevate pain threshold.
This course will provide an introduction to the pharmacology, mechanism of action and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen. The goals of anxiolysis, including clinical applications, indications, advantages/disadvantages and biohazards of administration will be presented. The monitoring and recognition of potential complications will be discussed.
A review of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen equipment and technique for safe administration will be presented followed by a demonstration of the administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen inhalation equipment in a dental clinic setting. Participants will then practice administration and monitoring using actual inhalation equipment.
This is a one-day course with approximately five (5) hours of classroom instruction followed by two (2) hours of clinical demonstration and practice. At the end of this course, participants will clearly understand the indications for use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and be able to provide safe administration and monitoring.
Objectives

Discuss and understand the basic pharmacology and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Review the anesthesia continuum and the Colorado State Board of Dentistry regulations regarding the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in the dental office
Know the goals of anxiolysis including advantages and disadvantages of inhalation administration
Discuss indications and contraindications for safe administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Understand how to monitor patients and recognize potential complications of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
