CONFERENCE SESSION DETAIL

Serving Underserved populations 1 CE Credit
Presented by: Noel Brandon-Kelsch, RDHAP
In the diverse settings dental professionals serve cultural awareness and understanding of special needs are vital parts of the dental professional’s role in education and treatment. Noel Kelsch has “gone where no man would go” to serve a variety of populations. She has taken her backpack out onto the streets reaching out to those who have no place to call home and run free dental clinics for over 20 years. She has developed comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the issue of prevention and understanding for both the professional and the patient. “Noel’s course gave me the understanding I needed to serve any population in any setting. Her passion for helping others is contagious” Lynn R.  Noel said “if we all each do one small thing it can become one very big thing. She then gave me all the information to start doing that one small thing right now!” David M. 


It’s All About Balance! Emerging Biofilm Science – 1 CE credit
Presented by: Stacy McCauley RDH, MS
Throughout history, medicine and dentistry have continually evolved via advances in technology and research. Breakthroughs in science allow dental professionals the opportunity to practice in new and exciting directions. What if breakthrough research assessed the benefits of an oral care device beyond just the visual inspection of brushing outcomes?  What if the use of a power toothbrush could change the composition of dental biofilm to benefit the patient’s oral health? Dental biofilms are one of the major contributing factors for both periodontal diseases and caries infections. Through emerging research, we now know not all dental biofilm is bad. Novel and compelling science from Philips Sonicare demonstrates the ability of Sonicare to transition the biofilm composition from a pathogenic state towards a benign state and eventually to a beneficial state. These research findings could significantly impact self-care regimens and long-term oral health. New technologies in novel chairside diagnostic/assessment products will also be explored. 


Form Follows Function: Busting the Myth of Insert Selection – 1 CE credit
Presented by: Rene
é C. Graham, RDH, MEd
This course is based on current scientific literature and evidence-based strategies to provide clinicians some practical guidelines regarding the selection of proper tips for thorough debridement and biofilm removal.

Presented by: Bethany Valachi, PT, MS, CEAS.
A staggering 80% of hygienists who retire early are forced to, due to work-related pain.  This ground-breaking seminar for dental hygienists fills a void in the dental education—bridging the gap between dental ergonomics and work-related pain. Discover how the delivery of dental hygiene and equipment selection are affecting your neck and shoulder health.  Implement effective self-treatment and prevention strategies based on research. 

Hygienists will discover techniques they can apply immediately in the operatory to reduce work-related pain, prevent injury and increase career longevity.  A must for those purchasing loupes!
