SUMMARY:New 2024 Mandate: Implementing a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan for the Dental Practice and Best Practices 
DESCRIPTION:Sadly\, over the last few years\, the healthcare sector has seen an overwhelming increase in the number of violent attacks targeting healthcare facilities and personnel. Smaller practices in ambulatory settings\, such as dental and specialty practices\, incur unique risks given limitations in infrastructure and funding. In response to the increase in violent incidents\, California passed legislation that requires employers\, (including dental and specialty practices)\, to adopt a workplace violence prevention plan. \n\n\n\nHarbor Dental Society is here to deliver all valued members a timely ‘live’ CE Webinar to comply with this new California law to help educate you and your dental team with a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan following best practices for the dental practice. \n\n\n\nOn July 1\, 2024\, dental and specialty practices in California must implement a written workplace violence prevention plan. The plan must include specific criteria such as response procedures to specified threats (e.g. shelter in place or evacuation)\, trainings\, annual updates\, etc.

SUMMARY:Basic Life Support / Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – June 2024
DESCRIPTION:Training is provided by Dr. Sapna Lohiya\, an American Heart Association (AHA) certified instructor. \n\n\n\nCardiopulmonary resuscitation\, commonly known as CPR\, is an emergency procedure performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing\, for example\, agonal respirations. \n\n\n\nPer the Dental Board of California (https://www.dbc.ca.gov/licensees/continuing_education.shtml)\, to complete the continuing education requirements as outlined in Title 16\, California Code of Regulations\, Sections 1016 and 1017 for renewal of a license or permit\, completion of the mandatory courses include: Basic Life Support (BLS) course provided by the American Red Cross (ARC)\, American Heart Association (AHA)\, or a provider approved by PACE or CERP. A maximum of 4 credits will be awarded for completion of this course. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: As a southern California native\, Dr. Lohiya is excited to serve the West L.A. and South Bay communities with their oral surgical needs. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Anthropology from UCLA and then earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry. During this time\, she developed an interest in surgery and the rehabilitation of patients with oral disease\, and participated in several volunteer trips to provide dental and medical healthcare abroad. She subsequently completed her Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training at the University of Washington in Seattle. During her training\, she authored several abstracts\, book chapters\, and journal articles. She was recognized for her commitment to teaching and providing excellent patient care. Dr. Lohiya is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and has a comprehensive background in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery\, including dentoalveolar surgery\, dental implants\, infections\, trauma\, orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery\, and both benign and malignant pathology. She currently serves as a Clinical Instructor for the UCLA School of Dentistry Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and is active in local leadership as a voting board member of the Western Los Angeles Dental Society. In her free time\, she enjoys outdoor activities\, traveling\, cooking\, and exploring beautiful southern California.

SUMMARY:Advanced Education for Excellence in Dental Sleep Medicine (Session 3 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:3 Session Course        \n\n\n\nApril 20-21\, 2024  (in person @ UCLA)   Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pmMay 10-11  (online via Zoom)  Friday 8:00am-4:00pm and Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm June 8-9  (in person @ UCLA)  Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pm \n\n\n\nThe interest in Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) has grown and involves not only oral appliances for Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD)\, such as sleep apnea and snoring\, but also involves sleep bruxism\, orofacial pain including TMD and related medical conditions. The dentist has a major role in the recognition and management of patients with these conditions. In addition\, the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) indicate that the dentist should be trained to recognize\, facilitate the diagnosis of sleep apnea\, and be well versed in oral appliance therapy. \n\n\n\nCourse lectures are designed to review the aspects of sleep that are relevant to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. This course includes the opportunity to fabricate and deliver an oral appliance for the participant. This is not required to take part in the course\, but highly recommended *. \n\n\n\nThis course provides the didactic and clinical knowledge for the dentist to become a productive and successful participant in the management of SRBD\, with the focus primarily on patients within their existing practice. \n\n\n\nThe course is designed to cover all aspects of sleep medicine and sleep disorders through lectures from various specialists. The lectures are designed to review all aspects of sleep that are relative to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. The lectures and discussion will involve how the dentist can be a productive and successful participant in the management of sleep disorders\, and specifically SRBD. The expanding definition of DSM will be explored\, as this involves sleep bruxism and all aspects of orofacial pain. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed such that the participant will be optimally competent and be considered qualified in the use of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring. This is of particular importance given that Orofacial Pain is now a dental specialty that also involves sleep. Anyone practicing DSM needs to be able to also practice at the same standard of care equivalent to a specialist\, and this course is intended to accomplish this.

SUMMARY:Dental Acupuncture and Integrative Oral Medicine (Session 4 of 4)
DESCRIPTION:Patients are increasingly seeking out acupuncture as an adjunct to standard pain control measures. This is becoming more relevant in the setting of the current opiate epidemic\, as acupuncture provides a non-pharmacologic approach to reduce pain. This is also important in the realms of sleep medicine and orofacial pain where pharmacotherapy is riddled with a high side effect burden and risk of abuse. Despite the WHO having recommended acupuncture for treatments on headache\, facial pain\, neuralgia and insomnia\, few programs are available for dentists who wish to seek training.  \n\n\n\nUCLA School of Dentistry is offering a unique\, evidence-based program to train dentists in the basics of dental acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory. By combining TCM principles with Western allopathic Medicine modalities\, participants will feel comfortable diagnosing and understanding the pathophysiology of both acute and chronic oral pain conditions from an integrative East-West perspective. Moreover\, participants will learn basic acupuncture treatments that can be safely delivered to patients.  \n\n\n\n4 Session Course at UCLA February 2-4\, 2024 March 8-10\, 2024 April 19-21\, 2024 May 31- Jun 2\, 2024  \n\n\n\nThis course consists of 50 hours of didactic and 30 hours of clinical training including instruction on the following subjects: -Theoretical foundation of acupuncture\, with emphasis on current physiological concepts as they relate to traditional -Chinese medicine -Acupuncture anatomy and physiology -Acupuncture techniques\, including instruction in the use of needling techniques; moxibustion\, electroacupuncture and other noninvasive techniques for stimulating acupuncture points; precautions (e.g. sterilization of needles); contraindications and complications\, including adverse systemic effects -Application of acupuncture to the practice of dentistry \n\n\n\nKenneth E.

SUMMARY:Advanced Education for Excellence in Dental Sleep Medicine (Session 2 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:3 Session Course        \n\n\n\nApril 20-21\, 2024  (in person @ UCLA)   Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pmMay 10-11  (online via Zoom)  Friday 8:00am-4:00pm and Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm June 8-9  (in person @ UCLA)  Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pm \n\n\n\nThe interest in Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) has grown and involves not only oral appliances for Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD)\, such as sleep apnea and snoring\, but also involves sleep bruxism\, orofacial pain including TMD and related medical conditions. The dentist has a major role in the recognition and management of patients with these conditions. In addition\, the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) indicate that the dentist should be trained to recognize\, facilitate the diagnosis of sleep apnea\, and be well versed in oral appliance therapy. \n\n\n\nCourse lectures are designed to review the aspects of sleep that are relevant to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. This course includes the opportunity to fabricate and deliver an oral appliance for the participant. This is not required to take part in the course\, but highly recommended *. \n\n\n\nThis course provides the didactic and clinical knowledge for the dentist to become a productive and successful participant in the management of SRBD\, with the focus primarily on patients within their existing practice. \n\n\n\nThe course is designed to cover all aspects of sleep medicine and sleep disorders through lectures from various specialists. The lectures are designed to review all aspects of sleep that are relative to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. The lectures and discussion will involve how the dentist can be a productive and successful participant in the management of sleep disorders\, and specifically SRBD. The expanding definition of DSM will be explored\, as this involves sleep bruxism and all aspects of orofacial pain. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed such that the participant will be optimally competent and be considered qualified in the use of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring. This is of particular importance given that Orofacial Pain is now a dental specialty that also involves sleep. Anyone practicing DSM needs to be able to also practice at the same standard of care equivalent to a specialist\, and this course is intended to accomplish this.
