Mastering Adult Minimal Oral Sedation
by Drs. Mark Donaldson
and Jason Goodchild
Minimal adult sedation instruction is now available
online, exclusively on Dentaltown. This 10-part dental
CE series meets all state and provincial requirements
for topics and hours to apply for a minimal sedation
permit or recertifi cation. Offering a total of 19.5 CE
hours, this series was specifi cally designed to meet the
guidelines of the ADA as described in its Guidelines for
the Use of Sedation and General Anesthesia by Dentists.
Nitrous Oxide and Dental Personnel
Concerns: Contamination and Scavenging
by Dr. Mark Donaldson
This course is specifi cally designed to mitigate any
concerns dental staff may have when working in offi ces
where nitrous oxide (oxygen inhalational sedation) is
provided. Perfect for every clinician and team member
who may be under the impression that the chronic
environmental exposure to nitrous oxide could result in
some type of fetotoxicity or teratogenicity in an expectant
employee; this program debunks that myth and others
concerning the safety of nitrous oxide.
Managing TMD: What
Dentists Should Know
by Dr. Eric Schiffman
Trauma is the most common cause of pain-related
temporomandibular disorders (TMD). More than half
of trauma cases (61%) result from patients opening
their mouths too wide or too long.
In this course, Schiffman describes
how to diagnose and manage your
patients with pain-related TMD using
evidence-based methods. You will
be ready the next time your patient
complains of painful TMD during
or after a dental procedure.
Tissue Augmentation and Immediate
Tooth Replacement for Optimal Implant
Esthetics and Success
by Dr. Sascha Jovanovic
Jovanovic discusses the principles of biological
augmentation, focusing on guided bone regeneration and
soft tissue, using biological materials from the patient.
Rapid Dentures: Predictable,
Effi cient, Profi table
by Dr. Joe Barker
For years, dentures have taken too much chair
time with very little predictability or profi tability. This
course covers all areas of denture construction in detail,
beginning with the initial oral exam through the post
insertion. Dentists will learn how to make dentures
predictable, how to be effi cient and how to increase
profi ts from dentures.
Improving Your Confi dence and
Competence in Offi ce Oral Surgery:
Atraumatic Surgical Extractions, Flaps,
and Splitting Teeth

This presentation covers important oral surgery
topics for general dentists, including managing patients
on anticoagulants, antibiotic prophylaxis, design and
use of surgical fl aps, handpieces and hand instruments,
surgical extractions, splitting teeth, retrieving root tips,
and atraumatic extraction techniques.
Intercepting Sleep-Disordered Breathing:
The Integral Role of Dental Professionals
by Dr. Ben Miraglia
This course is a call to action for all dental professionals
who are dedicated to preventing sleep-disordered
breathing rather than waiting to treat the devastating
effects it imposes, such as ADHD, bed wetting, asthma,
cardiovascular disease, lower IQ and depression.
