Implant Treatment Planning Algorithms: How to Efficiently Use a Consistent Evaluation Process for All Implant-related Patients

Using treatment planning algorithms in the dental implant evaluation process can save time and create a well-organized process to provide efficiency and effective communication among an implant team. While navigated surgery improves accuracy and precision with implant positioning, it all starts with an efficient planning process. The use of technology – such as digital materials in the prosthetic planning process – can identify situations that necessitate the use of a variety of soft- and hard-tissue grafting. The key is to identify these prior to the first procedure and to communicate these planned procedures to the patient and the restorative dentist. Attendees will learn new approaches to implant care during this 60-minute webinar filled with case-oriented and evidence-based approaches.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Demonstrate how to merge CBCT and IOS scans for virtual planning.  
2. Explain how to utilize merged images to develop an implant plan.  
3. Determine how to implement the plan to actual surgery.  
4. Examine how important time and cost-efficient planning benefits communication with all members of the team and promotes good practice procedures.

2023 Threat Landscape: Violence Prevention in Healthcare Settings

Violence rates in healthcare have doubled since 2011, and nearly three-quarters of all violence-related nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2018 were incurred by healthcare workers. Workplace violence poses a significant threat to the health, safety and well-being of healthcare workers and has negative implications for their productivity, retention and the quality of care they provide to patients. As U.S. healthcare workers in the private sector are five times more likely to experience nonfatal violence-related injury compared to workers in all other private industries combined, it is imperative that OMSs and practice staff understand the types and sources of workplace violence. Attendees of this 90-minute webinar will learn strategies and techniques for mitigating this risk to their employees and their patients.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Describe the unique risk of violence faced by healthcare providers.  
2. Identify the five types of workplace violence.  
3. List behavioral indicators of potential violence.  
4. Employ an effective response to an active threat in the practice environment. 
5. Initiate post-incident care for affected individuals and groups.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. While there are more than 200 human papillomaviruses, most people who are infected by HPV will clear the virus. However, infections with high-risk, long-lasting strains can result in cancer development. One of the most common sites of HPV-associated cancers is the oropharynx made up of the base of tongue, soft palate, palatine tonsils, lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls. Today, HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer is one of the fastest-rising cancers in men. In this 60-minute webinar, participants will gain knowledge of the pathogenesis of HPV, including routes of transmission, epidemiology of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer – as well as its treatment and prognosis – and the role of vaccination as a preventive measure.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Review the virology of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections.  
2. Discuss the mechanisms by which HPV causes cancer. 
3. Explain the epidemiology of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer.  
4. Examine the comprehensive overview of the staging, treatment and prognosis of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer.  
5. Determine the role of vaccination as a preventative measure.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of psychedelic substances as a potential treatment option for a variety of medical conditions. Regulatory restrictions on research into psychedelics were lifted in 2000, and the first landmark study on psilocybin at Johns Hopkins University was published in 2006. The volume of research has been growing every year. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have been shown in clinical trials to be effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and end-of-life distress. In recent years, several cities such as Detroit, Seattle and Santa Cruz as well as all of Oregon and Colorado have decriminalized the possession and use of psychedelic substances. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation for psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy for certain conditions. As legislation changes and psychedelics move from the underground to the mainstream, the anesthetic, dental and oral and maxillofacial surgery fields will have to adjust. This 60-minute webinar will define psychedelics and explore the risks, benefits and potential place in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Identify the most common types of psychedelics used by patients.  
2. Describe non-ordinary states of consciousness. 
3. Analyze the potential of psychedelics for anxiety management. 
4. Apply knowledge of psychedelics into clinical practice with regard to surgery and anesthesia.

Cannabis is the most popular illicit drug worldwide. While the DEA still classifies it as a Schedule I controlled substance, it is now legal in many states – with cannabis use still on the rise in the U.S. This increase is particularly seen in high school and college-age students. OMSs will likely encounter patients who use cannabis, affecting the administration and effects of anesthesia – including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide and intravenous sedation/anesthesia. It is important for OMSs to understand how to manage patients who use cannabis. During this 60-minute webinar, participants will learn the pharmacologic and physiologic effects of cannabis, different intake methods and how cannabis can affect office-based anesthesia.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Explain the different forms of cannabis intake. 
2. Describe the pharmacologic and physiologic effects of cannabis. 
3. Discuss how marijuana use affects office-based anesthesia.
