With the explosion of new technology and materials in esthetic dentistry, it has become increasingly difficult to stay current with the rapid changes and recent developments that are occurring. Today's dental practice requires the dentist to have both the knowledge and clinical skills to perform all aspects of esthetic dentistry. A variety of esthetic alternatives are available which enables the dentist to offer the patient procedures that will assure the most conservative, successful and predictable results. This study club is totally technique oriented for the practitioner performing advanced modern restorative dentistry. The focus of the program deals extensively with discussion of clinical techniques for anterior and posterior esthetic and functional restorations. Current restorative resin systems such as, filled composites, macrofill composites, hybrids, and color modifiers will be presented. Dental adhesives, both enamel and dentin bonding, will be discussed. Resin and glass ionomer dentin and pulp protection will be dealt with. Color and contour of restorations will be presented in detail. Anterior restorative techniques include free-hand bonding and porcelain veneers. Posterior techniques include direct placed posterior resin inlays, and porcelain onlays. Many helpful restorative hints as well as clinical cases will be demonstrated. • Current Restorative Resin Systems
Mentor: Michael Goldfogel, DDS , has worked extensively in the field of cosmetic and restorative resin systems. He has experience in both clinical application and research as well as consulting to a number of major dental manufacturers. He has lectured to university and professional audiences throughout the United States and Canada for the past ten years.

Ultrasonics in Perio Therapy: Saturday, January 26, 2008 with Stacy A. Matsuda, RDH, BS co-sponsored with Portland Dental Hygienists' Association
As the public and profession become more aware of the vital link between oral and systemic health, dental hygienists in general practice face increasingly complex case types managed nonsurgically. Biofilm research, along with the endoscope, has contributed a vast body of knowledge to fuel and refine our efforts in treating the diseased periodontium. The application of sound science through evidence-based principles can guide the clinician performing perio debridement. But it cannot be overemphasized that precision and skill with instrumentation - both initial therapy and long term maintenance - are each fundamental to successful patient outcomes. An understanding of the specific factors that hinder comprehensive debridement of biofilm empowers the clinician to reach a new level of therapeutic excellence. This course will address essentials of ultrasonic instrumentation for moderate to advanced disease therapy and clarify the often overlooked critical components necessary to achieve predictable and sustainable gains in clinical attachment levels. There will be opportunity for attendees to gain hands-on experience with a variety of devices during the course, so that new skills can be transferred directly into practice where they benefit both the patient and the clinician. COURSE OBJECTIVES • Understand strategic complexity of subgingival biofilm
THE INSTRUCTOR: A graduate of OHSU School of Dentistry, Stacy Matsuda has been a clinical educator in periodontics for over fifteen years and a private practitioner in specialty practice for thirty.

Understanding Your Dental Patient with Significant Medical Disease - Part II - Hepatic, Renal, Endocrine and Gastroenterology Friday - Saturday, February 1-2, 2008 with Bart S. Johnson, DDS
Medicine is becoming an exponentially more complex practice, and our dental patients are presenting us with ever-increasingly complex histories. In order to make the best dental decisions with our patients, we need to understand the intimate details of their overall status. This will be both a lecture and participation ("dive in and do it!") course. We will first go over the topics listed below, and then do a detailed discussion of how dental treatment might need to be modified based on the patient's individual situation. Real-life examples of medical reports/lab tests/diagnostics will be given out and reviewed so the participant can gain practical experience in reading and understanding the type of information that is likely to be sent to them by a medical doctor's office. Objectives: This course is intended to take the dentist and hygienist from a virtually zero-based knowledge of medicine to a level where they can successfully read charts, lab tests and basic diagnostic reports. This knowledge will enable them to work closely with the physicians to make quality decisions for their patient's care. Hepatic: Common maladies including viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, jaundice and autoimmune disease Typical signs and symptoms of liver disease Medical diagnostics including liver function tests and palpation Medical therapeutics including medications, surgery and vaccinations Dental considerations and modifications (Many to think of!) Renal: Common diseases including acute/chronic renal failure, polycystic kidneys and osteomalacia Medical diagnostics including auscultation, percussion, and renal function tests Medical therapeutics including medications, dialysis, and surgery/transplant Dental considerations and modifications Endocrine: Detailed discussion of common endocrine diseases of these organs, especially diabetes Medical diagnostics specific to each of these organ systems Medical therapeutics including stimulant and replacement medications, insulin pumps, etc. Dental considerations and modifications Gastroenterology: Common diseases including Crohns, diverticulitis, colitis, peptic ulcers, GERD, constipation, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome Medical diagnostics including lab tests and colonoscopy/esophogastroduodenoscopy Medical therapeutics including medications and surgical procedures Dental considerations and modifications Next Class: 5/16-17/08 Part III - Immunology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Oncology - (DoubleTree Lloyd Center-EMC) Speaker: Barton S. Johnson, DDS, MS was an Associate Professor and the Director of the General Practice Residency program at the University of Washington.

Due to the limited time for the course, we will focus on diseases that would be expected to be encountered by dental professionals. Drs. Kratochvil, Stewart and Kleinegger will discuss reactive hyperplasias of oral tissues, oral premalignancy and carcinoma, immune - mediated disorders of oral tissues, and submucosal soft tissue lesions. Class participants will also participate in clinicopathologic conferences that will be interspersed with the lecture material. Case presentations will be informally discussed providing class participants with the opportunity to practice their differential diagnostic skills. Anticipated Learning Outcomes: After completing this course, you should be able to: • Describe the etiologic and pathogenetic factors in oral reactive hyperplastic lesions, oral premalignancy and carcinoma, infectious diseases of oral tissues, and periradicular pathology of the jaws • Provide examples of specific lesions in each of these disease categories • Describe the characteristic clinical or radiographic features of the lesions or diseases in each of these disease categories • Correlate the clinical and/or radiographic features of the diseases presented with the microscopic changes occurring in the oral tissues • Develop a clinical differential diagnosis for the more common pathologic presentations • Understand the treatment and prognosis of the diseases discussed Speakers: F.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday & Saturday, May 16-17, 2008 with Bart S. Johnson, DDS, MS Medicine is becoming an exponentially more complex practice, and our dental patients are presenting with ever-increasingly complex histories. In order to make the best dental decisions with our patients, we need to understand the intimate details of their overall status. This will be both a lecture and participation course. We will first go over the topics listed below, and then do a detailed discussion of how dental treatment might need to be modified based on the patient's individual situation. Real-life examples of medical reports/lab tests/diagnostics will be given out and reviewed so the participant can gain practical experience in reading and understanding the type of information that is likely to be sent to them by a medical doctor's office. Objectives: This course is intended to take the dentist and hygienist from a virtually zero-based knowledge of medicine to a level where they can successfully read charts, lab tests and basic diagnostic reports. This knowledge will enable them to work closely with the medical doctors to make quality decisions for their patient's care. Immunology: Normal anatomy and physiology, including antibodies and cell mediated immunity "Over-reactive" diseases such as allergic reactions and autoimmune disease "Under-reactive" conditions such as immunocompromising disease or medical therapies Medical diagnostics including allergy testing, labs to determine immunocompetency Medical therapeutics including medications, desensitization and monitoring Dental considerations & modifications including what to do with alleged vs. real local anesthetic & latex allergic patients Psychiatry: Normal anatomy and (known) physiology of the brain and spinal cord Common diseases including depression, schizophrenia, dementia, bipolar affective disorder, ADD, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, hypochondriasis, others. Medical diagnostics including mental tests and interviews Medical therapeutics including medications, ECT's, behavioral therapy Dental considerations and modifications including xerostomia and drug-drug interactions Neurology: Normal anatomy and physiology of the autonomic and somatic nervous systems and their neurotransmitters Common diseases including MS, Myasthenia gravis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy & seizures Medical therapeutics including replacement medications, immunomodulators, genetic therapy on the horizon. Dental considerations and modifications Oncology: The normal mechanisms that must go awry to result in tumor growth Common forms of cancer including SCCA, breast, melanoma, ovarian, prostate, lung, leukemias, lymphomas, gliomas and astrocytomas Medical diagnostics including screening methods (mammograms, PSA, colonoscopy, biopsy) Dental considerations and modifications pre-, intra- and post-therapy Laboratory diagnostics: CBC, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, markers, antibodies, PCR - Dental considerations and modifications Speaker: Barton S. Johnson, DDS, MS is an Associate Professor and the Director of the General Practice Residency program at the University of Washington. He has been a practicing hospital dentist since 1985, specializing in complex, medically compromised patients of all varieties. His research interest is the molecular biological activities of retinoids and how they are involved in regulating cellular growth, differentiation and oncogenesis. **This course is applicable toward dental hygiene limited access permit education requirements When: Friday - Saturday, May 16-17, 2008 Saturday, May 17, 2008 with Pascal Magne, PhD, DMD Esthetic and function being equal concerns when restoring the anterior dentition, one may question the biomechanical behavior of single teeth restored with extremely resistant restorations, as is the trend with most recent ceramic systems. The excessive strength of conventional prosthetic restorations such as gold and metal ceramic crowns can yield root fractures, which are very difficult to restore. The modulation of the strength of the tooth-restoration complex should be therefore considered to avoid stress transfer and catastrophic failures at the level of the root. The combination of both composites and ceramics seems theoretically appropriate to reproduce the original stiffness of the tooth and modulate the tooth-restoration strength. Therefore, modern concepts in restorative dentistry have brought new solutions through bonded ceramics that are stress distributors and involve the crown of the tooth as a whole in supporting occlusal force and masticatory function. Among these, the good overall clinical behavior of porcelain laminate veneers bonded tooth in terms of fracture rates, microleakage, debonding and soft tissue response is generally well recognized and attested by numerous clinical studies. Continuous developments in the field of adhesive restorative techniques have permitted significant broadening of the originally-defined spectrum of indications for ceramic bonded restorations and thus contribute to two of the major objectives of conservative restorative dentistry: the maximum preservation of sound tooth structure and the maintenance of the vitality of the teeth to be restored. Indications for bonding porcelain are extending to more perilous situations (worn-down, nonvital or crown-fractured teeth), resulting in considerable improvements, comprising both the medical-biological aspect and the socio-economical context (i.e., decrease of costs when compared to traditional and more invasive prosthetic treatments). Knowledge of biomechanical principles and tooth preparation techniques is fundamental to create optimum conditions for the dental ceramist in the fabrication of the porcelain work piece. The meticulous application and handling of modern composite resin technology including dentin adhesives of the latest generation will, in turn, guarantee the reliability and longevity of the bonding. The optimal stiffness of porcelain, the ideal surface characteristics, and the biomechanical continuum achieved through high performance bonding mean the crown of the tooth as a whole can support incisal or masticatory function. By the same token, the conduction of optical effects from within the tooth combined with the ideal surface features of the porcelain piece make this restorative approach the ultimate in esthetic satisfaction, for both the practitioner and the patient. Course Objectives: • Luting procedures: step-by step rationale, finishing and maintenance protocol. Presenter: Pascal Magne, PhD, DMD was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland) in 1966. He grew up and followed his primary education in Neuchâtel then moved to Geneva where he graduated in dentistry in 1989 and completed a Doctoral Thesis in 1992. He taught and continued his postgraduate education in Prosthodontics and Operative Dentistry at the University of Geneva until 1997. Awarded with major grants by the Swiss Science Foundation, the Swiss Foundation for Medical-Biological Grants, and the International Association for Dental Research, he spent two years as a full-time research scholar in Biomaterials and Biomechanics at the University of Minnesota between 1997 and 1999. Back at the University of Geneva, he received his PhD degree in 2002 and served as Senior Lecturer from 1999 to 2004. Since February 2004, he became Tenured Associate Professor at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles where he received the Chair of Esthetic Dentistry. He is the author of the textbook Bonded Porcelain Restorations (Quintessence Publishing, 2002), as well as clinical and research articles on esthetics and adhesive dentistry and is frequently invited to lecture on these topics. When: Saturday, May 17, 2008 Dr. Marineau received his DMD from the then University of Oregon Dental School (now OHSU) in 1957. After two years in the Air Force he entered private practice in Beaverton where he practiced general dentistry until he passed away in September of 2000. Nic believed professionalism was the underlying key to success in dentistry. For him this concept encompassed a number of elements of the denti&st-patient relationship with perhaps the most important being honesty. A dentist must have high ethical standard to insure that trust will develop between the dentist and the patient. Nic also believed that the dentist has an obligation to promote esteem for the profession by performing ones duties with an air of dignity. Promoting dentistry for Nic also entailed giving back to the profession. He always was active in state, alumni and private organizations that were dedicated to the advancement of dentistry. He served as president of the Oregon Dental Association, president of his local dental society, president of the Dental School Alumni Association, and editor of the Journal of the Oregon Dental Association. He also was appointed twice by the governor to the Oregon Board of Dentistry and served as its president for one term. To Nic, professionalism also meant that the dentist had an obligation to be continually upgrading his/her clinical skills to insure that a patient's trust was not misplaced but rather rewarded with the best of dental care. Nic believed passionately in continuing dental education and served as a study club mentor himself for many years. As an academician Nic was demanding but fair. His expectations were high for the students but the students also realized that he would be there for them to help them meet those challenges. Nic's enthusiasm for dentistry was contagious and he served as a great role model for the students.
