geDear Colleague:

Thank you for joining me at the Academy of General Dentistry’s 57th Annual Meeting & Exhibits where you’ll experience more incredible lecturers, fascinating participation courses, more fun-filled events, and more AGD accomplishments!

During my tenure as the first female president of the AGD, the Academy has enjoyed incredible accomplishments. It seems very appropriate to culminate my presidency in Baltimore, where I received my Fellowship Award in 1995. At the same AGD Annual Meeting & Exhibits, I was honored to receive the Distinguished Service Award.

This week, I plan to celebrate the accomplishments of my colleagues, beginning with our honored recipients of the Distinguished Service, Humanitarian, and Albert Borish Awards. Join me in recognizing these general dentists’ service to our communities and profession during the House of Delegates Second Session/Awards Ceremony. On Friday morning, I’ll look for you at the finish line of the first AGD Foundation Fun Run, at 6 a.m. Bring your family and friends to participate in the event or cheer from the sidelines. All proceeds from the Fun Run will benefit Special Olympics Special Smiles®, a cause that I passionately support.

Then, add to your own accomplishments by earning up to 36 hours of CE from the more than 40 hands-on courses and free lectures. Purchase the latest products, services, and technology from the exhibiting companies in Exhibit Hall E. The exhibit hall offers various events and contests including the Welcome Reception, Learning Labs, and daily raffles. For the first time, AGD is offering CE credit at the Resource Pavilion when you take a quick seminar about the practice management offerings available to members on the AGD Web site.

Please join me again on Saturday to support the professional accomplishments of the 231 new Fellows, 155 new Masters, and 33 new Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition recipients at the AGD Convocation Ceremony in the Baltimore Convention Center. After the ceremony, we will celebrate a week of accomplishments at an American landmark, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, during the Premier Celebration.

I hope that by the end of these five days you’ll leave Baltimore with more knowledge that you can use when you return to your practice, more friends that you’ve made or with whom you’ve reconnected, and more memories of incredible accomplishments by members of our great profession.

Welcome to Baltimore!

Dear Friends:

On behalf of Maryland’s proud citizens, it is my pleasure to welcome you back to Baltimore for the Academy of General Dentistry’s Annual Meeting. We know there is no shortage of competition to host this prestigious event, and we are honored that you have chosen the great State of Maryland.

During your stay here, you will quickly learn why Baltimore is fondly known as “Charm City.” The warmth of its residents and the charm of its neighborhoods attract visitors from around the world and keep them com-ing back. I hope that you are able to take full advantage of your visit and explore some of our historical, cultural and entertainment offerings, most of which are within walking distance of the city’s spectacular waterfront, the Baltimore Convention Center, and your hotel.

While you are here, I also encourage you to explore all that Maryland has to offer. Our State is a place filled with endless opportunities for making memories that last a lifetime. Maryland’s compact size makes it possible to see it all, from the beaches of Ocean City on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, to Deep Creek Lake and the alluring mountains of Western Maryland.

Again, congratulations on what is sure to be a successful AGD Annual Meeting. I wish everyone all the best for an exciting and rewarding confer-ence and continued success in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Martin O’Malley Governor!

P01 | Introduction to CAD/CAm DentistryDENNIS J. FASBINDER, DDS

subject: 561 credits: 7Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.(Lunch: Noon to 1 p.m.)Audience: D room: 5105/5401, University of maryland Dental SchoolDigital technology for dental applications is growing at a rapid rate with the proliferation of multiple new systems over the past few years. one significant evolving technology is computer-assisted design/computer-assisted machin-ing (CAD/CAm) for the fabrication of ceramic restorations. The CEREC AC/Bluecam System (Sirona Dental) is a unique application of CAD/CAm, as it provides for the fabrication of ceramic restorations in a single appointment. The capability of the system will be presented through a discussion of the clinical technique utilizing clinical case examples. In addi-tion, relevant laboratory and clinical research evidence will be provided relative to clinical performance.

The course is for dentists who are interested in exploring the clinical capabilities of direct adhesive ceramic restorations.

Attendees will have the opportunity to design, mill, and finish ceramic restorations during the course.

Learning objectives:•Understanding a chairside CAD/CAM system (CEREC AC) for in-office implementation: its advantages, limitations, and clinical applications•Understanding the ceramic materials used with digital techniques and the appropriate cementation systems for their delivery•Becoming knowledgeable about the clinical process for fabricating restorations with the chairside CAD/CAm system (CEREC AC)

P03 | The Art of making Smiles with Porcelain veneersDoUGLAS BARNES, DDS, mSmICHAEL mANN, DDS, PALUIS SENSI, DDS, mS, PHD $380 ($430) subject: 253 credits: 7Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.(Lunch: Noon to 1 p.m. )Audience: D room: 2nd Floor clinic, University of maryland Dental SchoolWith the increased selection of treatment modalities avail-able in esthetic restorative dentistry, case selection and treatment planning are very important for optimizing patient treatment. This participation program, using chair-mounted dental simulation/mannequins, will provide the rationale for minimally invasive and conventional porcelain veneers and make impressions. To achieve the best esthetic result with porcelain veneers, clinicians must provide the dental labora-tory with the specifics for the veneer that the laboratory will be fabricating. During this program, each clinician will learn how to write a laboratory work authorization for porcelain veneers that communicates the final result desired. The use of diagnostic casts and digital photographs will be presented.

There are many different porcelain veneer cements available. Each participant will try a variety of light-cured resin ce-ments and learn the step-by-step techniques for treatment of the veneer and the tooth for predictable and successful bonding. Each participant will place porcelain veneers with a predictable technique that mimics a patient procedure. Finally, instructors will conduct an overview of what will pro-vide a patient with the best long-term success by evaluating porcelain veneer failures; long-term research with success will also be presented. The course will also include a hands-on participation that will teach how to mask discolored teeth with a color neutralization technique.

Learning objectives:•List the indications for minimally invasive and conventional porcelain veneers•Describe a conventional porcelain veneer preparation and minimally invasive porcelain veneer preparation•Describe the clinical technique and materials used for the placement of porcelain veneers•Describe and demonstrate the techniques for the placement of porcelain veneers using the simultaneous technique

The course will address the concepts of biological width and ferrule design in achieving predict-able esthetic, restorative, and periodontal clinical outcomes. one of the highlights of this hands-on-course is a step-by-step instruction of surgical technique, including flap design and suturing, using an electric hand piece to perform osseous crown lengthening on a pig jaw model. In addition, participants will be introduced to piezoelectric surgery. All materials and instruments will be provided for participants.

Learning objectives:•Determine indications and contraindications for crown lengthening •Recognize the principles underlying optimal esthetic and restorative success•Explain periodontal surgical flap design •Perform osseous crown lengthening using an electric hand piece and a piezoelectric surgical unit •Recognize the principles guiding the selection of a suturing technique

P05 | Extraction Site Preservation: Achieving optimal Esthetic and Restorative outcomesSANG-HooN PARK, DDS, mS HARLAN SHIAU, DDS, DmSC, mARK A. REyNoLDS, DDS, PHD$235 ($285) subject: 690 credits: 4Wednesday, 8 a.m. to noonAudience: D room: 5451/5452, University of maryland Dental SchoolTooth extractions often compromise alveolar ridge form and the potential for a successful prosthetic outcome. This course focuses on the critical role of extraction socket preserva-tion and enhancement prior to implant tooth replacement or restoration to optimize an esthetic and functional clinical outcome. This course will introduce a step-by-step hands-on approach in various socket preservation techniques following tooth extraction using a pig jaw model. Not all extraction sockets require augmentation; therefore, emphasis will be placed on the clinical parameters to guide practitioners in the selection of sockets most likely to benefit from bone grafting. In addition to surgical techniques, currently avail-able bone grafts and barrier materials will be reviewed in this presentation. The course will highlight common ”dos” and “don’ts” in the management of extraction sites.

Learning objectives:•Recognize strategies to accomplish minimally traumatic extractions•Understand the clinical parameters for successful site selec-tion and preservation•Gain familiarity with commercially available grafting mate-rials and barriers•Develop hands-on skills in surgical technique

L01 | Treatment Planning: A Biomechanical Rationale*CARL E. mISCH, BS, DDS, mDS, PHD

subject: 690 credits: 7Wednesday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.(Lunch: Noon to 1 p.m.)Audience: D room: Bcc Blrm 1The most common early loading failure in implant dentistry is in the softest bone types or when implants are shorter than 10 mm. The primary cause of failure is from biomechanical overload. Therefore, a treatment plan should have a biome-chanical rationale to reduce the risk of failure.Implant treatment plans include key implant positions based on biomechanics. These key positions follow four initial guidelines:• No cantilevers• Limit to two pontics • Canine and first molar position• Arch dynamicsonce the key implant positions are determined, additional implants are used to decrease above-average patient force factors or below-average bone density, or when key implant positions cannot be inserted.

L08 | Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure™ (LANAP™)RoBERT H. GREGG II, DDS

subject: 135 credits: 4thursday, 1 to 5 p.m.Audience: D Bcc room: 326In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the first laser periodontal procedure for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure—Cementum-medicated new periodontal ligament attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium. This FDA clearance followed the completion of the fourth largest human histol-ogy with a control group in the history of periodontal re-search, showing 100 percent of the Laser ANAP treated teeth (6 of 6) showing new attachment. Pulsed fiber-optic Nd:yAG lasers have been used extensively for sulcular debridement (“laser curettage”) since 1989.

Until recently, no laser has been advocated or reported as part of a replacement protocol for use in the treatment of moderate to advanced periodontal disease as definitive therapy or for creation of new attachment. This presentation discusses the Laser ANAP (assisted new attachment proce-dure) using a variable microsecond pulsed free-running (FR) Nd:yAG fiber-optic laser to treat periodontal disease case types III and Iv to achieve long-term health and stability via new attachment methodology in pocket depths from 6 mm to 19 mm. The success rate in a retrospective, multi- centered, clinical study reported in a peer-reviewed journal is 91 percent. This presentation also will highlight how LANAP is great for both the patient and dental practice profitability.

L10 | Surgical microscopes: Precision, Efficiency, and ErgonomicsWAyNE REmINGToN, DDSARNIE SINDLER, DDS

subject: 130 credits: 4thursday, 1 to 5 p.m.Audience: DTC (D, H, A) Bcc room: 343This half-day lecture will review the rationale and utilization of the surgical microscope in routine restorative practice. Dentists will realize the benefits of reduced neck and back strain that comes from a relaxed ergonomic position that simply cannot be duplicated with loupes or using the un-aided eye. The team will see that a microscope practice must become extremely efficient to keep the dentist centered in the microscope (and being focused on the restorative treat-ment) the teamwork between the dentist and the assistants becomes integral and fluid with this practice.

And finally, the old adage “you can’t treat what you can’t see” becomes alive with new meaning. you can see and then potentially treat what was previously missed. And you can see everything in a much higher magnification than possible with loupes, with better illumination. This ability to work at high magnification allows even a superb clinician to refine their hand movements even more for high degrees of preci-sion. This is an absolute must for those wishing to do the finest work available anywhere.

L16 | Same-Day Immediately Loaded Implant Supported overdentureHAmID R. SHAFIE, DDS, CAGS

subject: 670 credits: 4thursday, 1 to 5 p.m.Audience: D Bcc room: 347Baby boomers are reaching retirement age, and this has affected the demographic and prosthetic needs of implant patients. The implant-supported overdenture is considered a new standard of care for fully edentulous patients. However, the traditional, two-stage implant therapy combined with delayed load concepts has not been very popular among elderly patients because of multiple surgeries, the prolonged course of treatment, and high expenses.

The same-day immediate load treatment protocol for fully edentulous patients enables clinicians to provide all of the surgical and prosthetic steps in one visit. on the same day of implant placement, the patient leaves the office with a fixed screw-retained implant–supported overdenture! New generations of implants offer totally different geometry at the macro, mini and micro levels, compared to the older machined titanium screws of 25 years ago. This new genera-tion has opened a new horizon in implant therapy. Any clini-cian who is involved with implant dentistry should learn the immediate placement/load protocol since it is significantly different from the traditional protocol.

Learning objectives:•To teach participants basic guidelines and criteria for imme-diate implant placement and loading•To teach the surgical and prosthetic steps related to the same-day fixed implant-supported overdenture•Identify the right candidate for this treatment modality•Perform the surgical steps necessary for this treatment, or at least be able to discuss the treatment with an implant surgeon

RANDY HUFFINES, DDS

Subject: 258 Credits: 4Friday, 2 to 6 p.m.Audience: D, A BCC room: 315Root caries is now an increasingly common and often frus-trating clinical problem.

The lecture portion will show you how to evaluate, select and use today’s esthetic composite resin materials to their best advantage. True esthetics with the use of direct composite resin can be achieved only if one understands how to use these materials and can master the technology involved. Areas of focus will include; the stepwise application of microfills, hybrids, nano hybrids, opaquers and tints. In addition contouring, characterizing, finishing and polishing will be emphasized.

This workshop will allow the participants to develop their own remarkably life-like veneer with dramatic results using these techniques and materials. In order to self create true dental esthetics and mimic reality with composite resin, one must understand how both art and science interact to provide optimum results. This workshop presentation will show how the two working together provides the ultimate in esthetics. The attendees will be amazed at what they don’t know and how rapidly they can increase their skill level in such a short time.

Emphasis will be placed on:•Choice of materials and why•Methods of material application•Necessity for proper understanding of opaquing and tinting•The proper contouring, finishing and polishing techniques necessary to achieve a truly esthetic, lifelike and long term result.

The purpose of this combined lecture and hands-on course is to provide the attendee with a clear, step-by-step guide to microscopic-enhanced diagnosis, access preparation, shaping and cleaning, hydrodynamic disinfection, and 3-D obturation of the root canal system. The latest techniques and technolo-gies used to perform optimal endodontic treatment will be emphasized and discussed.

When performing laser dentistry, the dentist must know not only what the proper parameters are for a procedure, but why those parameters are best. by understanding how the three parameters of energy, time, and spot size affect laser/tissue interaction, the dentist will be able to make one instru-ment perform virtually any laser surgical procedure. The purpose of this course is to give the laser dentist the proper knowledge necessary to confidently manipulate energy, time, and spot size to in order to maximize treatment results. This presentation will also review the scientific rationale for the use of lasers in both surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatment. A discussion of the peer-reviewed literature will give us the solid scientific principles on which we base our clinical decisions and treatment plans. This will be followed by a step-by-step procedure on how to achieve superior periodontal results.

Procedures to be discussed include:•Initial (pocket) therapy •Gingivoplasty•Gingivectomy•Full-thickness flap surgery•Osseous surgery•Guided tissue regenerationAttendees will perform many of these procedures on pig jaws.

learning objectives:•Understand the relationship between spot size, fluence, and power density•Determine when it is better to increase mJ, Hz, or pulse width for more efficient cutting•Learn a technique for creating new fibroblast mediated soft tissue attachment to the root surface based on peer-reviewed histological human and animal studies

fOuNDATION PROGRAMS

”ReASON TO SMIle” GRANT PROGRAM You cannot help everyone everywhere, but you can help someone somewhere. The new program by AGD Foundation was created to help you arrive at your destination to help someone in need. “A Reason To Smile” encourages AGD members to donate their skills and time by volunteering to treat underserved populations. The AGD Foundation will be a resource for volunteer services domestically. Visit www.agd.org click on the Foundation tab, and choose Programs and Funds from the drop down menu, then search by the state or program you would like to volunteer, and sign up. The AGD Foundation will grant $1,000 per AGD member, per year, to be used for travel expenses, including transportation, lodging and meals.

ONlINe PROVIDeR DIReCTORY The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Foundation is on a mission to increase access to dental care for Special Olympics athletes, as well as to all people with intellectual disabilities. One of the problems with providing dental services for those with intellectual disabilities is the identification of dentists who are willing to treat them. To help solve this issue, the AGD and the AGD Foundation partnered with Special Olympics Special Smiles® (SOSS) to identify providers for primary dental care for Special Olympics athletes.

General dentists willing to provide health care services for persons with intellectual disabilities can identify themselves through the Special Olympics Provider Directory. Providers in the directory are not asked to provide free dental care to these athletes. Special Olympics athletes or their caregivers access the directory and contact individual dental offices just like any other patient does. Dentists then decide (just as they do with all of their patients) whether to accept Special Olympics athletes as new patients.

The AGD Foundation is asking all AGD members to add their names to the SOSS Provider Directory. Adding your name and contact information is fast and easy. To sign up, visit www.agd.org, click on the Foundation tab, choose Provider Directory from the drop down menu, and register to join.

Win Big with Refer a Colleague: Win a gift basket valued at nearly $150 simply by giving us your non-member colleague’s contact information for the Refer a Colleague program. When you visit the AGD Resource Pavilion (booth #632) and fill out a referral form, you’ll be entered into a raffle to win a gift basket that will be mailed to your home address after the meeting.
