Dhaval Patel, DDS instructed three courses on the use of CEREC® CAD/CAM technology in the dental office. He described the techniques and best practices for achieving optimal outcomes when completing posterior and anterior crown, bridge and implant crown restorations.
Three courses on atraumatic tooth extraction and socket preservation bone grafting were presented by Scott Keys, DDS. He presented the techniques and best practices for case selection and management, the selection of materials and instruments, and managing complications to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Scott Cairns, DDS presented a hands-on digital dental photography course. This three-hour course provided attendees with knowledge and practical experience in understanding attributes of various digital cameras, the fundamental shots for dental practitioners, positioning patients and effectively using retractors and mirrors.
Dr. Brad Guyton, Vice President of Clinician Development for PDS and Dean of the PDS Institute, said, "On behalf of our faculty and chairs of the PDS Institute, we are honored to have partnered with the AGD at their annual session. The meetings provided valuable content that empowers real world clinicians looking to make a change in their office.
