Silver Is the New Black: Improving Your
Practice with Silver Diamine Fluoride
by Dr. Jeanette MacLean
Silver diamine fluoride is a revolutionary approach to
combating caries in an effective and noninvasive manner.
Discover the history and science behind this powerful
oral medicine that recently received the prestigious
FDA "breakthrough therapy" designation, and learn
how to successfully incorporate this caries management
treatment into your clinical practice today, including
restorative options.

Pediatric Dentistry: Anesthesia, Pulp
Therapy and Stainless Steel Crowns
by Dr. Josh Wren
When the Affordable Care Act mandated dental
coverage as an essential health care benefit for those 19
and younger, millions of pediatric patients were added
to 150,000 dental practices. Treating children likely
became a necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy
and stainless steel crowns are often considered complex
when performed on pediatric patients; this course will
alleviate any fear of the unknown
that leads to this misconception.
Indirect pulp therapy, pulpotomy
and pulpectomy are discussed, with
emphasis on diagnosis and technique.

The procedural steps for stainless steel crowns are
explained and shown, as well as Wren's process for
using nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and
local anesthesia.

Beginning with the End in Mind ...
Recorded Live at Townie Meeting
by Dr. Cory Glenn
Dr. Glenn's fi rst course on Dentaltown explores
digital treatment planning and design to guide cases. It
also focuses on the planning and preparation for doing
larger implant and restorative cases, using technology
to drive them, and how it all ties into overall life
goals and purposes. Glenn recently underwent eight
months of chemo for acute leukemia, and it changed
his perspective quite a bit.

Dental Duct Tape
by Dr. John Maggio
Glass ionomer materials have come a long way in the
past few decades; these bioactive materials are uniquely
positioned to help manage dental caries. This course
will present indications for these materials, including
using them as liners, bases, sealants and restorations for
root caries and noncarious cervical lesions. Differences
between traditional glass ionomers and resin-modified
glass ionomers will be discussed.
