"Orofacial Manifestations of Systemic Diseases"
Course Objectives
Oral cavity is readily accessible for inspection and a gateway for assessment of general health. In fact, many systemic conditions affecting organs far from the head and neck region could manifest in the orofacial region, sometimes prior to their diagnosis. Abnormalities detected in the orofacial region may also represent complications related to medical therapy or raise concerns about substance abuse. This program provides illustrative examples of orofacial findings associated with diagnosed or subjectively silent systemic disease, medical therapy and substance abuse. Relevant signs, symptoms, and diagnostics are reviewed and the potential role of oral health care providers in recognition, referral, follow-up and overall management is emphasized.

Webinar: “Can Excellence in Implant Therapy be Achieved Without Being Fully Digital?”
Instructor: Leonard Kobren, D.D.S.
RegisterSynopsis: There is great emphasis on being “fully digital” to create ideal implant supported restorations. Relatively few clinicians have the experience or digital equipment to render "fully digital” care. This presentation will detail a team approach utilizing available digital and analog technologies to diagnose, treatment plan, sequence and fabricate provisional restorations as the template for ideal definitive restorations from single to full-arch implant supported restorations. The goal is to present efficient workflows that will provide comfortable patient and clinician experiences with superior outcomes and long-term clinical success.
Learning Objectives:
- To understand where and when readily available digital technology can augment analog technology.
- To review specific treatment protocols and sequencing options.
- To understand the role each team member plays in a multidisciplinary approach to treating simple to complex treatment.
- To understand the importance of careful analysis and communication between the team members, to assure excellent clinical outcomes.
