Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers – An All-Inclusive Cosmetic Course

Boston, MA •Saturday, April 9, 2016 • 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

We are proud to offer a university-based course so that eligible dentists can receive expert instruction in the use of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers for facial cosmetics. Participants will practice these techniques with cadavers and specially designed simulation heads. Ultimately there will be live patient care treatment in TUSDM’s state-of-the-art clinics under expert supervision.

Today’s practitioners have multiple choices for where to obtain this type of training, including many private CDE providers which host courses in hotel rooms or other similar locations. Here’s what sets the TUSDM course apart:

• The TUSDM course was created by a collaboration of board certified clinicians and experts in related fields (including maxillofacial surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, an anatomist, health related law attorneys, and insurance experts). It’s the only multidisciplinary facial cosmetic course under the auspices of Tufts University. 
• The TUSDM course includes an innovative and extensive simulation lab that provides the opportunity to practice the techniques on both specially designed simulation heads and cadavers. It is conducted in the Tufts Anatomy Lab under the direct supervision of facial cosmetic surgeons and a professor of anatomy. 
• The live patient care of the course is conducted in TUSDM’s state-of-the-art clinics, ensuring that patient safety is maintained and that participants receive an excellent clinical experience.

This 16 hour course is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Massachusetts BORID’s “Policy Advisory on the Use of Botulinum Toxins (Botox) and/or Dermal Fillers by Licensed Dentists” and combines online didactic material and a full-day in-person clinical and simulation session. 

Participants will review facial esthetic assessment, standardized photographic documentation, anatomy, pharmacology, pathophysiology of facial aging, treatment planning, detailed technique analysis, product breakdown and analysis, strategies for avoidance and management of complications, legislature and liability issues, fee compensation options, and marketing strategies.
