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.Course 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**.This 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.The 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.This 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.Event Session InformationSessions Session #1 Start Date: October 25\, 2024Session #1 Start Time: 8:00 AMSession #1 End Date: October 26\, 2024Session #1 End Time: 1:00 PMSession #2 Start Date: November 1-2\, 2024Session #2 Start Time: 8:00 AMSession #2 End Date: November 1-2\, 2024Session #2 End Time: 12:00 PMSession #3 Start Date: December 6\, 2024Session #3 Start Time: 8:30 AMSession #3 End Date: December 7\, 2024Session #3 End Time: 1:00 PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther cost information\, if applicable. **Note: Lab fees for appliance fabrication will be the responsibility of theattendeeEvent Website https://dentistry.ucla.edu/course/2544Location UCLA School of Dentistry URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/advanced-education-for-excellence-in-dental-sleep-medicine/2024-12-06/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241206T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241206T150000 DTSTAMP:20250505T003617 CREATED:20240617T230617Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241118T180006Z UID:10000445-1733473800-1733497200@www.cda.org SUMMARY:Infection Control\, OSHA\, & California Dental Practice Act – December 2024 DESCRIPTION:Topics covered will include: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the Specific Safety Plans Required by OSHA\n\n\n\nUnderstand What the Infection Control Regulations Are for California\n\n\n\nIdentify Common Errors With Infection Control and Safety This course will fulfill important requirements all in one day!\n\n\n\n\nAll licensed dental professionals are required by the Dental Board of California to take an infection control class and a California Dental Practice class biennially for licensure renewal.

In the field of orofacial pain\, we are often faced with issues whose etiology can often\, to say the least\, be profoundly puzzling. From Bruxism and Gagging to TMD and Migraine\, Hypnotherapy has been time tested and scientifically proven to be an effective adjunct to traditional therapy. While not using it to get the patient to walk like a chicken and quack like a duck\, we can now effectively decrease anxiety\, improve communication and rapport\, diminish pain and improve treatment compliance. This course will take place over 2 days. The attendees will learn the art of hypnotherapy from simple induction techniques\, to deepening procedures through to suggestion methods. Each attendee will receive hands on training experiencing the state of hypnosis as well as how to help their fellow students experience it for themselves. Each student will leave this course with a very effective addition to their toolbox. As an added component\, there will also be a presentation of Biofeedback\, Heart Rate Variability and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.Topics will include:– Hypnosis and its application to dentistry– Basic deepening\, relaxation\, visualization\, and suggestions techniques– Clinical applications – anxiety\, phobias\, pain management– Communication and rapport– Hypnosis and induction techniques– Biofeedback\, heart-rate variability to aid in reducing anxiety and promoting healing– Clinical applications – pain management\, migraine\, TMD\, hypno-anesthesia URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/the-efficacy-of-hypnosis-cognitive-behavioral-therapy-and-biofeedback-for-the-alleviation-of-anxiety-pain-and-phobias-in-the-dental-patient/ CATEGORIES:Affiliate In-Person Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241213T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241213T170000 DTSTAMP:20250505T003618 CREATED:20241125T183027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241125T183042Z UID:10000582-1734080400-1734109200@www.cda.org SUMMARY:Sinus Graft Workshop DESCRIPTION:Sinus floor augmentation has become a routine procedure that enhances the outcome of dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla when insufficient bone volume is found. The question remains\, what is the best choice of donor material to use for sinus grafting? This course will not only provide hands-on laboratory session to familiarize the participant with the surgical techniques\, but also reveal the science behind selection of the appropriate donor material. The surgical technique will be demonstrated from flap design to accessing the sinus floor to proper soft tissue closure and finally to managing complications associated with sinus floor graft. Hands-on workshop will be performed on goat heads or plastic models.Attendance is strictly limited to maintain high instructor to participant ratio. \n\n\n\nLearning Topics:– Surgical approaches: lateral window and crestal approach– Anatomy and physiology of the maxillary sinus– Diagnosis and treatment planning– 3D imaging for maxillary sinus augmentation– Selection of donor material– Soft tissue management– Complications and management URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/sinus-graft-workshop/ CATEGORIES:Affiliate In-Person Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241213T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241213T170000 DTSTAMP:20250505T003618 CREATED:20240925T202107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240925T202110Z UID:10000534-1734094800-1734109200@www.cda.org SUMMARY:CDA Board of Directors DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.cda.org/event-details/cda-board-of-directors-24/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241216T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241216T193000 DTSTAMP:20250505T003618 CREATED:20240927T003649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250129T205825Z UID:10000544-1734372000-1734377400@www.cda.org SUMMARY:BLS CPR Renewal Course DESCRIPTION:Description Part 1: Online Skill Practice & Testing (AHA HeartCode® BLS) Once registered\, you will be sent to your personal email address a link to access the course – a self-paced AHA course in which you will learn single-rescuer and two-rescuer basic life support for adults\, children\, and infants.

Zirconia or lithium disilicate? with Dr. Goodacre DESCRIPTION:Session 1: Single-Tooth Implant and Implant Fixed Complete Denture Postplacement / Oral Hygiene Care with Dr. Thomas KepicOne of the more popular topics in dentistry is the treatment of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Numerous treatment approaches exist to address these conditions\, yet they often yield limited success. This presentation aims to provide attendees with comprehensive information on maintaining oral hygiene\, starting from the initial implant placement\, and continuing through to long-term care. It will also cover proper instrumentation\, techniques\, and various medications\, highlighting those that may contribute to or impede successful outcomes.Session 2: Which type of all-ceramic crown will produce the best esthetic result? Zirconia or lithium disilicate? with Dr. Charles GoodacreThe use of all-ceramic crowns has increased dramatically and this presentation will describe and compare the two most commonly used materials (zirconia and lithium disilicate) based on tooth translucency\, presence of a definite zone of dentin coloration\, tooth discoloration\, and use on teeth with limited amount of tooth reduction. The presentation will show many examples of single maxillary anterior teeth restored with both types of crowns\, a procedure considered one of the most esthetically challenging treatments to provide.
