A graduate of Loyola University Dental School, Dr. Newkirk is engaged in full time private practice of restorative and cosmetic dentistry in Naperville, Illinois, and is a former clinical assistant professor of restorative dentistry at Northwestern University. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Equilibration Society, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Newkirk’s strong background in occlusion and understanding of the delivery of quality, comprehensive dentistry has helped form his practice’s philosophy which also involves working with a highly trained and specialized staff. Listed as one of the top leaders in continuing education by Dentistry Today, he has lectured extensively across the United States, as well as in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and New Zealand. Dr. Newkirk manages his speaking engagements and hands-on courses through his company Upward Dental.
 

One of the most important commodities we have in the practicing of dentistry is the relationship we can

have with our patients. If our patients view us as competent, trustworthy, and an integrity-based

practitioner, we will have a thriving, fulfilling practice.

However, one of the things that can interfere with that goal are clinical failures. Failures can be very

defeating and could even collapse the very relationship we have worked so hard to establish. Failures can

also be very costly to a thriving practice. As dentists, we will all encounter failures in our practice, but our

goal must be to minimize and diminish them to the point that they are few and far between. To ensure this,

we need to study and understand failures. “Why do they occur?” “Which errors can we prevent?”

“And what are the signs we should watch for before we provide dentistry for our patients?”

This course will concentrate on common causes of clinical failures and will give you the tools to recognize

situations and potential causes before you start a patient’s case. It will focus on techniques and on the

function of the masticatory system so you can eliminate or minimize these dreaded failures.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will understand:

1. How to minimize force and bacteria on your dentistry

2. How to provide proper function so your patient can chew and speak well upon completion of the procedure

3. How to accurately gauge a patient’s expectations for esthetics and how to reversibly test these expectations before you begin the permanent restoration

4. The range of choices you have in materials and when and when not to use them

This course is recommended for general dentists and their teams who are looking to improve their techniques and eliminate the rework involved with failures.

Dr. Robert Margeas graduated from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 1986 and completed his AEGD residency the following year. He is currently an adjunct professor in the department of Operative Dentistry at the University of Iowa. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Operative Dentistry and is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. He has written numerous articles on esthetic and implant dentistry and lectures and presents hands-on courses on those subjects. He serves on the editorial board of Contemporary Esthetics and is a contributing editor to Dentistry Today and Oral Health in Canada. Dr. Margeas maintains a private practice focusing on comprehensive restorative and implant dentistry in Des Moines, Iowa.
 

This lecture is designed for today’s esthetically minded, real world dentist and staff that need to be efficient

in order to be profitable. Dr. Margeas will review dozens of direct and indirect clinical cases, step-by-step

that are done in real time on an everyday basis. These include: direct composite, resin veneers, class IV

restorations, diastema closure, and which adhesives work the best in each clinical situation. Simplified

implant techniques and coordinating treatment with your surgeon for immediate extraction, placement,

and provisionalization using the patient’s natural tooth. Diagnosing and treating the worn dentition will

be explained with different treatment options that will allow staging of treatment over several years to

allow patients to complete comprehensive dentistry. Time permitting, porcelain veneers from preparation,

provisionalization to cementation will be discussed. The techniques learned can be incorporated into

your practice immediately for increased profitability.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will understand:

1. How to properly layer and finish composite resins that mimic nature

2. How to provisionalize immediately following implant placement

3. The best way to provisionalize if the implant is not stable with a fixed appliance

4. How to diagnose and treat the worn dentition with different treatment options

5. When to bond restorations vs. cementation

6. Porcelain veneers- from preparation to cementation (time permitting)

Dr. Gary Glassman graduated from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry in 1984 and was awarded the James B. Willmott Scholarship, the Mosby Scholarship and the George Hare Endodontic Scholarship for proficiency in Endodontics. A graduate of the Endodontology Program at Temple University in 1987, he received the Louis I. Grossman Study Club Award for academic and clinical proficiency in Endodontics. The author of numerous publications, Dr. Glassman lectures globally on endodontics, is on staff at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry in the graduate Department of Endodontics, and is Adjunct Professor of Dentistry and Director of Endodontic Programming for the University of Technology, Jamaica. Gary is a fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and the endodontic editor for Oral Health dental journal. He maintains a private practice, Endodontic Specialists in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He can be reached through his website www.rootcanals.ca.

This program will address the concepts and detail the skills necessary for acquiring the expertise and

confidence to perform the highest quality endodontics. As a participant in this program, you will become

familiar with the use of the “apex last” approach to canal shaping using nickel-titanium instrumentation;

predictable irrigation protocols; and vertical condensation of thermo-softened gutta percha using

The Continuous Wave of Vertical Condensation, in preparation for the post endodontic restoration.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will understand:

1. How to assess the criteria required for a successful endodontic procedure

2. How to accurately locate the apical constriction

3. How to shape the root canal space using NiTi technology in a safe and efficient manner, including proper canal negotiation and apical finishing techniques

4. Enhanced techniques for removing the smear layer and biofilm using state of the art irrigation protocols

5. How to obturate the root canal system in 3-D to capture the natural anatomy with the continuous wave of condensation

6. The step-by-step protocol for restoring the endodontically treated tooth.

This course is recommended for the general dentist, endodontists, and dental assistants.
