“Cyber Security – What Every Dentist Needs to Know”

Day by day, cyber attacks and threats are increasing, so attackers are using more sophisticated methods to hack the computer systems. Cyber security is a very useful protection system for protecting computers, networks, servers, electronic systems, mobile devices, programs, and electronic systems from digital attacks. Generally, cyber attacks are aimed at accessing, destroying, or changing sensitive data by extorting money from operators or disrupting common business processes in dental practices.

This course will teach you how to protect your office from all the daily attacks our practices face.

“A Blueprint for Practice Growth – Calibrating Diagnostic Criteria & Increasing Treatment Acceptance”

This presentation will highlight the most sure-fire ways to increase treatment acceptance of restorative treatment in any dental practice. First and foremost is to create a caring environment that is differentiated from other experiences the patient has had. Many practices fail to create clarity in their diagnostic criteria. This creates variance in how each clinician in the practice views restorative opportunities and it results in under diagnosis, and under treatment.
In order to present treatment, it must first be diagnosed. The creation of uniform criteria exposes many more opportunities to recommend appropriate treatment. When combined with improved treatment presentation skills and patient-centric, benefit-oriented verbal skills, treatment acceptance markedly increases. It begins with the creation of strong caring relationships as the foundation to being able to provide a higher standard of care and the creation of high perceived value in the care.

Objectives:
• Understand the most effective methods to grow a practice
• Understand the importance of diagnostic criteria
• Establishment of uniform diagnostic criteria
• Introduction of “protective” treatment planning
• Review clinical photography for diagnosis
• Understand the impact of Artificial Intelligence in diagnosis
• Introduce a “system” for communicating the benefits of treatment
• Incorporate benefit-oriented, patient-centric communication
• Understand the relative importance of cost and value
• Learn how to overcome patient objections to treatment

“Aesthetic Dentistry and The Art: Contemporary and Conservative Approaches For Daily Aesthetics Cases”

Simplicity and guidelines in resolving aesthetic and functional cases may be achieved by any clinician. The main goal of this presentation is to share concepts and standard protocols highlighting key to improve performance in everyday practice. During the program, step-by step cases will be discussed to guide the audience to achieve predictable and successful results. “Simple may not be the best but the best is always simple.”
The presentation will emphasize how to solve everyday problems of esthetics and restorative challenges in nowadays practice. A realistic and practical approach in direct and indirect bonded restorative dentistry will be thoroughly discussed.
After the presentation, the participants will be able to answer the following questions:

1. What are the psychological and biological barriers to successful aesthetic treatments?
2. What do patients really want?
3. What is the latest research?
4. How to improve practice performance and patient satisfaction?
5. What are the do’s and don’ts of full mouth rehabilitation cases?
6. How to evaluate and select materials?
