WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23

• 10:30-11:00 - Dr. George Freedman & Dr. Fay Goldstep
  Caries Management in the 21st Century
  Description: The detection of dental decay must be: scientific, accurate, reliable, and clinically significant. The CarieScan PRO is the latest and most accurate must-have diagnostic tool for the clinical practice.  The CarieScan PRO offers dental professionals (dentists and qualified team members) a predictable, evidence-based technique for the detection and qualitative evaluation of pre-decay and decay in teeth. The CarieScan provides information about whether the hard tissues are healthy, in the early stages of decay or significantly decayed.  The results are displayed on an easy-to-understand LCD screen as well as in a numeric format.  This data is readily documented into the patient’s chart for evaluation, monitoring, and long-term assessment of the disease status and progress.

• 11:30-12:00 – Dr. Jörg Mudrak
  The history of the Orthopantomograph – from OP 1 to OP 300

  LASERS: Affordable and Practical
  Description: Lasers were typically expensive to buy and expensive to maintain; some units also had relatively high sundry costs associated with every patient use. Then AMD Lasers introduced their revolutionary Picasso Diode Laser.  AMD’s innovative laser technology allowed a breakthrough in affordability as well.  The cost of the Picasso Diode Laser came down to a level where it is reasonable to consider incorporating the technology not just into every practice, but into every operatory within the practice. 
  
  Do you need a soft tissue laser? Can you afford to be without one?

• 15:30-16:00 – Dr. Dan McEowen
  Cone Beam for Everybody!
  Description: Dr. McEowen will discuss PreXion 3D high resolution images and spend time with real scans showing how Digital Volume Tomography (Cone Beam Tomographie) can be applied in the daily practice diagnosing Perio, Endo, impacted molars, implant placements and more!
  
  The tremendous speed of processing and real time visualization of cone beam units these days give the doctor more time for diagnosis and treatment planning. 

THURSDAY, MARCH 24

• 10:30-11:00 - Dr. George Freedman and Dr. Fay Goldstep
