May 2013
May 31 - June 1, 2013 Understanding Your Dental Patient with Significant Medical Disease- Part III- Immunology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Oncology, & Test Labs (16 hours)
Instructor: Bart Johnson, DDS, MS
Lecture: 5/31 Time: 9:00 am-6:00pm
Lecture: 6/1 Time: 8:00am-5:00pm
Tuition: $500/dentist $400/staff
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 go over the topics of Immunology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Oncology and Laboratory diagnostics. There will be 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:
Speaker: Barton S. Johnson, DDS, MS is the Director of the General Practice Residency program at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.

June 19, 2013 Pit and Fissure Sealants (4 hours)
Instructor: Mary Ann Haisch, RDH, MPA
Time: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Tuition: $140.00 (limited 16 participants)
This dental sealant course is designed to assure clinical competence in the use of pit and fissure sealants. Participants will receive approximately six hours of instruction, consisting of lecture, laboratory, and clinic. The laboratory portion of the course will require participants to place acceptable sealants prior to the clinical experience. To successfully complete the course, participants must perform satisfactorily on a written examination, plus demonstrate clinical competence in the placement of pit and fissure sealants. The course meets the requirements of the Oregon Board of Dentistry for certification in pit and fissure sealants.
Participants are asked to provide a patient for the clinical portion for the course. This patient must be seven year of age or older. The patient must have two molars with the entire occlusal surface erupted (these teeth must be virgin molars, meaning no restorations). The teeth must be treatment planned by a dentist for sealant placement. An information packet including the prescription form and course handout will be sent to each participant via e-mail as an attachment for you to print out prior to the course.
Assistants must send in proof of EFDA certification with registration.
Speaker: Mary Ann Haisch, RDH, MPA graduated from Clark College in 1970 and from Portland State University in 1980 with a BS in Health Education. She received her Masters of Administration from Portland State University in 1993. Since 1981, Ms. Haisch has been coordinator of the Limited Restorative Procedures class at OHSU School of Dentistry.
