Hoexter ‘Raising the Bar’ at Yankee Dental Congress GNYDM BOOTH NO. 3729 Yankee Dental Congress 2018 (Yankee) will be held from Jan. 24 to 28 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Yankee, which is known as New England’s larg- est dental meeting, is sponsored by the Massachusetts Dental Society, in cooperation with the dental societies of Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Nearly 27,000 dental health profes- sionals and guests from around the U.S. are expected to attend the 2018 event. The theme of Yankee 2018 is “Raising the Bar.” According to meeting organiz- ers, this theme exemplifies how dental professionals can find innovative con- tinuing education opportunities for clinical development in the dental field to grow the profession for the future. Among the education highlights, Yan- kee has teamed up with Pride Institute and Tufts University Dental Continuing Education to offer a nine-day practice management continuum program. The program will kick off with a two-day event at Yankee beginning on Wednes- day. the Yankee is again bringing recent legislation efforts to the fore- front with “Interprofes- sional Symposium: High Stakes — Medical Marijuana Pitfalls and Considerations.” This pro- gram will illustrate how dentists and the dental team need to be aware of the treatment considerations for medical and recreational marijuana users. This symposium will broaden attendees’ un- derstanding of marijuana and how it im- pacts patients. The new “CE RECHARGED” program of- fers continuing education like no other, meeting organizers say. On Thursday, Planmeca USA will immerse attendees in digital technology, and Henry Schein Dental will explore how innovations and concept modifications shape skills and treatment-planning solutions. On Friday, the team that produces Dentsply Sirona World will present Digi- tal Summit 2018, where attendees will experience live-patient dental educa- tion. Successful cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and ethical patient education with more world-renowned speakers will end the week brought to at- tendees by KaVo Kerr. Along with more than 300 C.E. and hands-on courses and events presented by leading experts in the dental profes- sion, Yankee is bringing together dental peers and industry experts for a day of sharing programs and clinical practices. The “Yankee FAST TRACK: Enhance Your Practice, Boost Your Revenue” program will demonstrate strategies for cost ef- fectiveness and practice enhancement. Yankee also features a wide range of the latest dental technologies and prod- ucts from more than 450 exhibitors, along with several education pavilions located on the exhibit hall floor. Special presentations include Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan, as well as best- selling author Michael Patrick Macdon- ald, a leading activist and organizer who has developed gun buyback programs and local support groups for survivors of poverty, violence and the drug trade.

A sharp blade incising intrasulcullar was done, followed by an elevator to reflect the flap. Before any surgery, radiographs — in conjunction with probing of all areas of the periodontia — were taken, detailed, listed and used. Repeating a major point: No in- terproximal tissue was removed. The tissue was now placed at the desired level, usually at the symmetrical cervical height. Using the cuspid cervical height, in this case, the laterals and the centrals were positioned and sutured with a sling suture technique (Fig. 2) at the desired sym- metrical level. Notice that the natural length of the incisors are exposed, but not the roots. The interproximal tissue is main- tained to avoid the previously mentioned black-diamond ap- pearing spaces that result when the interproximal tissues are removed. Notice the now exposed full enamel covering of the teeth involved, giving the length of the teeth the exposure re- quired for the goal of “that smile” (Fig. 3). After the final stage, the young woman was ecstatic about her new bright smile. Her #7 was restored with a composite restoration. She maintains her oral health enthusiastically with oral hygiene, keeping the now healthy anterior periodontia maintained. The homogeneous color of the gingiva is symmetrical in lateral and vertical di- mensions. There are no dark spaces interproximal, and the cer- vical symmetry of the teeth aid her ability to enjoy her glowing smile. The previously square-appearing teeth, are now restored to a natural, longer-appearing crown length, with the cervical gingiva on an even, lateral-linear appearance. This case presentation exemplifies the “Growing Enamel” technique and its ease of use when correctly diagnosed to turn an undesirable-appearing smile into a bright, glowing and sym- metrical one that the patient will love and enthusiastically maintain.
