“BAD BOUNCES AND BROKEN TEETH” – THE SPORTS DENTISTRY SIDE OF YOUR PRACTICE
We are in an age of active lifestyles, with an emphasis on participating in sporting activities at both the youth and adult levels. Not surprisingly, athletic injuries to the orofacial region and the dentition are on the rise. Unique and timely techniques employed for diagnosing, treating, and restoring these accidents are paramount in the successful long-term results. Are you prepared for immediate action following a dental trauma? Join us for this half-day lecture to find out and prepare yourself for whatever life throws at you or your patients!

“PLAY BALL!” – HANDS-ON FABRICATION OF CUSTOM ATHLETIC MOUTHGUARD
Participation in sports activities transcends all generations and the risk for orofacial injuries as a result of a sports-related accident have no boundaries. The use of a properly fitted athletic mouthguard can sometimes make the difference between a minor injury and a dental tragedy. Participants will learn the proper techniques for designing and fabricating a custom athletic mouthguard on their own study cast using a dual layering method and a pressure laminated technique.
