Whether it’s an uncomfortable silence\, a difficult question or a misunderstanding\, dentists must navigate the situation with professionalism\, empathy and ethics to maintain a positive patient experience. The integration of artificial intelligence in dentistry can support connection with patients\, providing that the subtleties and limitations of AI are understood. Sensible use of AI tools and technology may play a pivotal role in enhancing care by delivering real-time information and tailored recommendations. While challenging moments are unavoidable\, innovative strategies can help you build confidence\, ease tension and prevent missteps in patient communication.  \n\n\n\nTo learn more about Now + Next in Redding\, click on this link to get details.

In 2010\, via AB 2637\, California Registered Dental Assistants in Extended Functions (RDAEF) received additional restorative functions\, allowable under the direct supervision of a dentist.These functions include:Conduct preliminary evaluation of the patient’s oral health\, including (but not limited to) charting\, intraoral and extra-oral evaluation of soft tissue\, classifying occlusion\, and myofunctional evaluation.Perform oral health assessments in school-based\, community health project settings under the direction of a dentist\, registered dental hygienist\, or registered dental hygienist in alternative practice.Size and fit endodontic master points and accessory points.Cement endodontic master points and accessory points.Take final impressions for tooth-borne removable prosthesis.Place\, contour\, finish\, and adjust all direct restorations.Polish and contour existing amalgam restorations.Adjust and cement permanent indirect restorations.Perform cord retraction of gingiva for impression procedures.Take final impressions for permanent indirect restorations.One viable alternative for increasing production and controlling office overhead while maintaining quality of care – is the utilization of the RDAEF2 in practice. There are currently only 2\,082 licensed RDAEFs in the entire state of California. There are 35\,078 licensed DDS in California. Each dentist can employ three (3) RDAEFs in practice. During the course\, you will hear from dentists who are utilizing RDAEFs in practice and they will share the impact the RDAEF has had on their practice.The purpose of this course is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the Loma Linda University RDAEF program and details of the extensive training that the students receive. You will have an opportunity to see the quality of work that these students have produced.At the end of the course\, dentists will be informed on how to evaluate the direct restorations placed by the RDAEFs in their practice.
