Conference Welcome

Welcome to the 2010 Pacific Dental Conference and our new home the Vancouver Convention Centre - West Building! This is the year we reap the rewards of this incredible new venue. Cocooned under one roof and no more buses! Thank you all for persevering for the past three years.

The PDC continues to offer our participants the widest selection of quality continuing education programming in Western Canada. This year with 116 speakers presenting and a selection of 149 sessions to choose from, you will find more than enough variety for all members of the dental team.

Take the opportunity to refine your clinical and practice excellence, participate in personal development courses and, of course, meet with your colleagues in a comfortable environment. Our outstanding roster of speakers from Canada, the United States and outside North America will be presenting topics ranging from clinical dentistry to team building and other important facets of dental practice.

Don’t miss the exciting Exhibit Hall – our largest ever! With over 264 exhibitors occupying 517 booths, you will be guaranteed to find the latest and best range of products and services for your practice. The Exhibit Hall provides an excellent opportunity for you to compare products and services from the leading companies in the dental industry. We encourage you to support our exhibitors as they are a large part of the continued success of this annual conference. Due to popular demand we’ve extended the Exhibit Hall hours to start at 8:30am on both Thursday and Friday.

Be sure to take some time to enjoy what this spectacular city has to offer. Access to the Stanley Park Seawall is just outside the door of the Convention Centre, top notch restaurants are just steps away and unique vacation opportunities abound.

Aesthetics, in dentistry, is a game of balance between teeth, soft tissue, lips, face person and personality. In order to produce aesthetic results that are closer to nature and really attractive, not fake and all alike (e.g. Stereotyped Smile), we need to develop artistic capacities, which everyone can improve by the comprehension of perception’s psychology.

Dwayne Karateew completed his DDS degree New York City at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia He has served on the faculties of the University of Washington, in post-graduate Prosthodontics, and UBC both in undergraduate Prosthodontics and postgraduate Periodontics as the Director of Implant Surgery. He currently maintains practice in Vancouver.

The principle focus of implant dentistry has changed significantly from the era of ‘Anatomically driven implant placement’ to the current practice of ‘Restoration driven implant placement’. We are continually seeking greater control of the peri-implant tissues and ultimately the aesthetics of the restoration. A new paradigm shift, ‘Tissue Care Concept’ along with advances in implant surface engineering and implant/abutment designs allow us to consider immediate implant replacement, especially in the aesthetic zone, where preservation of hard and soft tissue is of paramount importance.

The Magic of Composites – Functional Beauty

Medical emergencies can, and do, happen in the practice of dentistry. In this program Dr. Malamed will review the basics of Preparation, Recognition, and Management of lifethreatening situations which might arise in the dental environment. Situations such as seizures, unconsciousness, respiratory distress, chest pain and cardiac arrest will be reviewed.

James Carlson graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1964. His diverse career spans 40 years of caring for patients and educating dentists with emphasis on the diagnosis & treatment of craniofacial pain, TMD and edentulous patients. He is the founder of MyFit dentures, developer of the AccuLiner instrument and author of two groundbreaking textbooks, Physiologic Occlusion & Occlusal Diagnosis.

Most treatment of edentulous patients is neither predictable nor profitable because dentists primarily focus on the dentures and not the unique condition of the patient. Dr. Carlson presents an alternative method of care designed for dentists, assistants and administrative staff who desire to impact the health and well being of patients, not just sell and deliver dentures. He will identify the components that influence function and stability and show how to properly diagnose and rehabilitate them prior to creating a new, artificial dentition.

Success is defined by stable, predictable, and aesthetic results for our patients. The success of implant treatment depends on many factors affecting the bone-implant, implant-abutment, and abutment-prosthesis interface. A major difference between implant systems is the type of implantabutment connection. For 22 years, the unique conical connection of the Ankylos system has been the basis for redefining tissue stability.

As the founding Chairman of the BC Dental Meeting, Dr. Robert Hicks started the meeting format that evolved into today’s Pacific Dental Conference. In 1988, he said “While the quality of the scientific program and the dental trade exhibits must justify the valuable time we set aside to attend continuing education events, we should never lose sight of the importance of the social contact we enjoy when we attend [the Pacific Dental Conference]”. This philosophy has continued to foster the growth of the Pacific Dental Conference to the current day.

It is with respect that we have dedicated a lecture to honour the experience and expertise that guided the meeting through its developing years.

Establishing physiologic parameters is key to distinguish between pathologic and physiologic occlusion. Seven foundational keys to occlusion are discussed to reach maximum dental improvement and stability. Today’s practitioner must distinguish his or her practice by becoming an expert in comprehensive dentistry which includes an understanding of the essentials of dentistry vs. the usual and customary dentistry. How do you perceive yourself in your dental practice in the future? Recognizing the occlusal signs and symptoms is a significant door to effective diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

Most patients who have periodontitis respond to routine management, which can include scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery and, when treatment fails, the placement of endosseous implants. In general, 80% of patients will respond to routine therapy, but the problem remains: what do we do about those who do not respond? There are new developments currently available, or on the horizon, that will also alter what we now accept as being routine therapy, meaning that more patients will respond to treatment, and that treatment might either be less invasive or more predictable, or both.

This course is not intended to be a replacement for a CE course but rather an intro for those interested in oral sedation or a supplement for those who have already incorporated this mode of sedation in their practice.

C-reactive proteins; P. gingivalis; prostaglandins; antibiotics & vitamin supplements…what does today’s dental professional need to know about their impact on our patient’s health? Understand the pathogens that are culprits of disease initiation for dental caries and periodontal infection and more importantly discover the arsenal of tools and products available to prevent destruction.

What can we do to make the dental experience more meaningful and more enjoyable for our patients? This course explores how to ‘sell’ health and create lifetime patient relationships.

Chris Ramsey is an Accredited member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and is on the editorial review board for the AACD Journal and PPAD. He has published numerous articles on customer service related topics, adhesive technology and cosmetic dentistry in several publications such as PPAD, Dentistry Today, Contemporary Esthetics, Signature, and Dental Products Report.

In the field of dentistry, material selections are always changing. The dental professional is always looking for the best products to help make aesthetics and function possible. Whether the dentistry provided to your patients is done directly or indirectly, there needs to be a concise reason in the decisions we make. This program will focus on the latest material that help the dental professional predictably choose the best options for both aesthetics and function.

Getting from Bugs and Drugs to Hugs and Health

The prevalence of oral bisphosphonate use by dental patients is rapidly increasing.

Bisphosphonates are prescribed for treatment of a variety of medical conditions but their effectiveness in preventing side effects of osteoporosis has led to a dramatic increase in their use. A side effect of bisphosphonate use is the development of osteonecrosis of the jaws following trauma to oral tissues. The presentation will examine the use of bisphosphonates and the linkage of these medications to osteonecrosis. Causes of the osteonecrosis and approaches to prevent this side effect will be discussed.

Tobin Bellamy received his dental degree from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Bellamy then practiced general dentistry for three years prior to attending a residency program at Washington Hospital Center in Washington DC, where he received his certificate in Oral Surgery. Dr. Bellamy maintains a private practice in Coquitlam.

This lecture will help you get through everyday surgical procedures by providing ideas and recommendations using several common scenarios that the general dentist could come across.

Examples of procedures addressed will include extraction of the first molar, dealing with the sinus and many more.

It seems so simple, but it’s not. In reality you’ve got…last minute cancellations…procedures that take longer than expected…grumpy patients in the reception room…grumpier staff members blaming each other (or the dentist). Good scheduling guarantees happier doctors, staff, and patients. And…when everyone is happy, your bottom line will be healthier.

Larry Emmott graduated from the University of Southern California Dental School in 1977. He is an active member of the ADA, Arizona State Dental Association, Central Arizona Dental Society, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the prestigious American Academy of Dental Practice Administration as well as other professional associations.

The fastest growing trend in dentistry is putting computers in the treatment rooms. The question then arises...OK now that I have all these computers, where the heck do I put this stuff? Many dentists either just assume there is no room for a computer or they stuff it somewhere between the sink and the glove dispenser ... then wonder why it doesn’t work very well. Topics include: the six keys to computers in the operatory step by step help in setting up the computers, including the four access points, avoiding mistakes and resources for hard to locate parts and accessories.
