Basic Extractions (Sunday, 8 a.m. - noon)

• 1-hour lecture and 3 hours of hands-on laboratory

• Open to veterinarians, technicians, and assistants
• 1-hour lecture and 1 hour of hands-on laboratory
• Over half of your canine patients have fractured teeth. Thus this procedure should be performed on an almost daily basis.  This is an inexpensive and highly effective therapy.
• Attendees will learn how to perform bonded sealants in veterinary dentistry.  Topics include Indications (and contraindications), tooth preparation, as well as techniques and mechanics of bonding.  Finally, the marketing of the new skill will be presented.  Following an introductory lecture, the attendees will place unfilled resins on uncomplicated crown fractures.

Level II Composite Restorations: (vets only): (10:30-12:30 pm | 10:00 am registration)

• 2 hours of hands-on laboratory
• Enamel hypoplasia and caries are common issues in our canine patients.  This lab will teach you how to perform composite restorations for these conditions. Attendees will learn tooth preparation for maximum retention, how to bond the restoration, and finally, how to place and smooth/finish the filling.

Level II Periodontal Flap Surgery & Guided Tissue Regeneration: (vets only): (1:00 pm-5 pm | 12:30 pm registration)

• 1-hour lecture and 3 hours of hands-on laboratory
• Periodontal disease is the most common problem in veterinary medicine.  An increasing number of clients are interested in maintaining diseased teeth.  Thus, periodontal surgery is more and more sought after.  The introductory lecture will present the numerous and common indications (and contraindications) for periodontal surgery.  Next, we will cover equipment and pain management.  The creation of the periodontal flap and treatment of the exposed root surface will be the cornerstone of this lab.  Finally, we will teach attendees how to perform guided tissue regeneration to increase bony attachment.
