2025 Annual Meeting – LaRee Johnson – Restorative Dentistry

Description

This course will unpack what it takes to plan treatment with a recommended care modality (nitrous, sedation, or general anesthesia). The course will delve into the basics of restorative from composites and SSCs to esthetic crowns, restoring traumatized permanent incisors, microdontic lateral build-ups, and artistically recreating enamel opacity variations. The course will also solidify a systematic approach to reviewing medical history, medications, treatment plan presentation tools, scheduling, local anesthesia, and treatment sequencing at each appointment. Listeners will streamline bur selection and master isolation tips to set patients, parents, and providers up for happy visits and predictable clinical outcomes. The lecture will provide a decision tree on pediatric dental appliances and their role in comprehensive restorative care with orthodontic referrals. There will be a review focused on a multi-specialty approach to complex treatment plans. The lecture will conclude with best graduation practices for continued restorative success when it is time to matriculate our patients to a general practice.
