FCE9: Cost-Effective Techniques to Grow Your Practice Part 2 10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m.
Program Track: Practice Development and Management
Moderator: Bruce Edelstein Speaker: Lee Sheldon
The periodontal practice is challenged by unprecedented business challenges. Many practitioners are struggling to find answers in a shrinking dental market as well as a shrinking referral base. This two-part series details successful strategies that they have been implemented to create periodontal practice growth. Just when you think you have tried everything, this course will show you cost-effective strategies designed to enhance your practice with improvements to achieve growth.
Educational Objectives:
• Develop phone skills to assure that every potential patient who calls your office schedules with you.
• Adopt strategies to attract the periodontal and complex patient to your practice, including utilizing Google reviews.
FCE10: Synergy for Success: Periodontal- Prosthetic Interactions
10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Program Track: Interdisciplinary Therapy Moderator: Sylvan Feldman Speakers: Barry P. Levin and Sergio Rubinstein
Patients have a range of needs, and require the collaborative efforts of surgical and restorative dentists. Patients’ goals must be clearly understood, and when communication is open and roles are defined, excellent outcomes can be the norm. When this is not the case however, frustration and unhappy patients is usually the end result. This presentation will demonstrate how teamwork can lead to predictable results and satisfaction not only for the patient, but for the entire dental team as well. Situations where teamwork should have existed, but was lacking, will be presented and problem-solving to remedy these issues will be demonstrated.
Educational Objectives:
• Identify how visualizing the end result prior to the initiation of treatment simplifies treatment planning.
• Analyze complications when treatment planning and execution do not coincide.
• Recognize that treatment modalities sometimes need to be re-evaluated.
• Appreciate the roles restorative and surgical dentists, as well as laboratory technicians in complex therapy.

FCE11: Results of the Round Tables: Best Evidence Consensus for CBCT and Lasers
10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Program Track: Imaging and Emerging Technologies
Speakers: George A. Mandelaris, Michael P. Mills, and E. Todd Scheyer
The AAP recently completed two Best Evidence Consensus (BEC) meetings on the use of CBCT and lasers in the specialty periodontal practice. Thorough literature reviews were written, and experts met to fill in the gaps in the literature with expert opinion consensus statements. The CBCT BEC evaluated the use of CBCT with a systematic review of the evidence and explored future opportunities in the use of CBCT used to treat inflammatory periodontitis, dental implant therapy, and interdisciplinary (periodontal- orthodontic) therapy. The laser BEC evaluated the use of lasers as adjuncts to conventional therapeutic approaches or as a mono-therapy in the treatment of periodontal and peri- implant diseases. The systematic reviews and expert opinion consensus reports from both BECs will soon be published in the Journal of Periodontology. This round table discussion will present findings from the systematic reviews and expert opinion consensus reports from both BECs. The discussion will include valuable future horizons of CBCT use with clinical research and applications for periodontology and other areas of dentistry related to inflammatory periodontitis, dental implant reconstruction, and periodontal-orthodontic therapy. The laser discussion will also include recommendations for clinical use and future directions in training and research.
Educational Objectives:
• Update your knowledge base on the use of CBCT and lasers in the specialty periodontal practice.
• Understand the strength and weaknesses of CBCT technology as it relates to inflammatory periodontitis, dental implant therapy, and interdisciplinary/Perio- Ortho therapy.
• Allow the periodontist to become more aware of future applications of CBCT technology within periodontics and as it relates to comprehensive interdisciplinary therapy.
• Become familiar with clinical scenarios where laser therapy may be beneficial as an alternative therapy based on expert opinion.
• Understand the areas where future research on laser therapy is needed in order to strengthen the body of available evidence.
