By Robin Goodman, today Staff n Those willing to take a walk to the far north side of the exhibit hall will be richly rewarded by two great edu- cational options side by side (if you land at Grant’s Tomb, you’ve gone too far!).Thefloorspacewhere425people are seated and 30 more are standing at the back of the crowd is none other than the Live Dentistry Arena. On Tuesday, the Live Dentistry Arena’s morning session featured Dr. Ross W. Nash who presented COMPONEERS™ by Coltene. He demon- strated a direct composite resin veneer technique that incorporates a prefabri- cated enamel layer. The technique allows Nash to place directcompositeresinveneersinabout half the time he normally uses to place freehand composite veneers. The afternoon session featured Dr. Raymond A. Yukna’s presentation on “The Laser-Assisted New Attach- ment Procedure (LANAP).” Attendees walked away with an understanding of the scientific basis for the LANAP procedure, how to verify appropriate tissue interactions and what a laser wound looks like. Be sure to come early for today’s session on “DentaVerse™ Live: Anterior Esthetics — Problems and Solutions. What To Do … When, Why and How?” This double session will detail the clinical, financial and human consider- ations when patients desire treatment for anterior teeth that require esthetic and possibly implant treatment. The program features the input of 12 lead- ing clinicians who address diagnosis, treatment options, patient questions (including financial ones) and how to ensure that your lab delivers what you require.Thelivepatientdemonstration will include preparation techniques, provisionalization, prosthetic fabrica- tion and placement. Right next door to the Live Den- tistry Arena is the Dental Tribune Study Club C.E. Symposia. Tuesday’s lineup featured six lectures ranging from topics such as predictable endo- dontics, creating an online presence, predictableimplants,directposterior composites and optimizing endodon- tic treatment. Today there are three more options for C.E. credit by Drs. David Peck, Ron Kaminer and Selma Camargo. Peck will focus on implementing lasers into a general practice while Kaminer will demystify new concepts in cariology. Camargo will clarify the diode laser applications for soft tissues (See box above for more details).
