Thursday, June 20 (8 a.m. to noon)
Speaker: Dr. Glenn Kidder
Title: "Diagnoses and Treatment of TMD"
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) are one of many facial pain issues that present in the dental office on a regular basis. TMD itself is a very broad term that can mean different things to different people. It is too broad of a term and yet it is still commonly used. All patients deserve a thorough evaluation and a specific diagnosis to render appropriate treatment. This course will delve into the changes in the evaluation and treatment of TMD in recent years. Traditional treatment modalities have been called into question as we learn more about airway issues, and we know more now because better imaging is more accessible.
COURSE OBJECTIVES - Upon completion of this course, attendees should have a better understanding of:
- How to do a thorough evaluation for the many facets of TMD.
- How precise conservative treatment will help most patients.
- Why some traditional TMJ treatments may actually be contraindicated in patients with airway and apnea issues.
- How appropriate TMD treatment can be fun, rewarding, and dramatically improve the lives of many of our patients.
Dr. Glenn Kidder is in private practice in Baton Rouge where his practice is limited to the treatment of temporomandibular joint and occlusal disorders. He is an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at the LSU School of Dentistry. He has served on the visiting faculty at The Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, FL, for 27 years. He facilitates several courses which deal primarily with TMJ disorders, occlusion, equilibration, and splint therapy. He is a diplomate with the American Board of Orofacial Pain, a fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, a fellow in the Pierre Fauchard Academy, a fellow in the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, a fellow in the International College of Dentists, and is a longtime member of AES.
Friday, June 21 (8 a.m. to noon)
Speaker: Dr. Keith Evans
Title: "Real World Endo® presents Safety and Simplicity in
Root Canal Instrumentation: Myths, Metal and Motion"
Sponsor: Real World Endo®
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Nearly 25 years after the introduction of Nickel Titanium Rotary Instrumentation to endodontics, we’ve learned much about the clinical strengths and limitations of these great instruments. With recent improvements in metallurgy, enhanced designs, and innovative rotary file motions, we need to understand how these changes affect clinical instrumentation. Furthermore, we must take advantage of these improvements to create an instrumentation protocol that combines safety with simplicity! In this lecture, a new “Blended Technique” will be introduced that will result in safe, efficient instrumentation for all root canal types. Get ready to improve your instrumentation predictability while dramatically reducing instrument separation.
COURSE OBJECTIVES - Upon completion of this course, attendees should have a better understanding of:
- How rotary file design features influence instrumentation safety and efficiency.
- The most effective instrument motions available for shaping root canals and their advantages and limitations.
- The need to combine the latest technology with long established, evidence-based endodontic principles.
Dr. Keith Evans, M.S. received his Master of Dental Research in Endodontics and certificate in graduate endodontics from St. Louis University in 2004. He received his D.M.D. degree in 2001 from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine and thereafter was the chief resident for the Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of North Carolina from 2001 to 2002. He is currently adjunct clinical faculty in the Department of Endodontics at both Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine and St. Louis University. He serves as lecturer and clinical faculty for the pre-doctoral and graduate endodontic programs at both schools. Dr. Evans has served as chair of the Illinois New Dentist Committee for two years and currently chairs the Endodontic section of the Illinois Mission of Mercy. He has served on the Illinois delegation to the ADA, as president of the Illinois State Dental Society Political Action Committee, president of the McLean County Dental Society, and president of the Illinois Association of Endodontists. Dr. Evans has lectured extensively throughout the country to general dentists, endodontists, faculty, staff, and students. Dr. Evans currently resides in Bloomington, IL. He has been a full-time private practicing endodontist in Bloomington-Normal, IL since completing his endodontic residency program in 2004.
