Topic Two: The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has changed the way we look at cancer risk and detection and has made patient education a bit more complicated. Many health professionals report never discussing HPV with patients and those who do often feel uncomfortable with the topic. However, today HPV is now the lead- ing cause of oropharyngeal cancer, making this a crucial topic to discuss with our patients. In this course, we will explore how to improve cancer detection in our dental practice. We will uncover ways to create protocol for patient educa- tion that can be customized to fit the culture of any practice. We will discover methods to encourage involvement of the entire dental team by providing the tools necessary for effective HPV communication. OBJECTIVES • Identify the risk factors associated with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer • Discover the tools necessary for patient education and discussing HPV with our adult and adolescent patients • Recognize the chemicals that are produced during the process of vaping, and the cancer risks of these chemicals • Understand the current and future laws and regulations on e-cigarettes and discover the best places to find the latest clinical research to share with our patients • Design a patient education plan for the dental practice that includes e-cigarettes, vaping, both e-liquid and cannabis oil, JUULing, and hookahs PRESENTATION Dental Hygiene: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly 1–4pm, Friday 6/18 LOCATION: DONA ANA/CIMARRON TYPE: LECTURE CEU: 3 COURSE DESCRIPTION Remember the days of Dental Hygiene School? We had good days and bad days; we were brilliant and had moments of failure. We experienced both the stress and hardship, fulfillment and success of hygiene school—and we did it together. We always had our fellow hygiene students to bounce ideas off of, problem solve with, and share our successful breakthroughs. Now that we work in private dental practice, it is even more important to have these oppor- tunities to collaborate with other hygienists. This interactive workshop will begin by presenting a step-by-step protocol for working through practice issues. Once equipped with a system, you will have an opportunity to problem solve specific issues within your hygiene practice. We will work together to break down each situation to create solutions that can be implemented instantly in your office. We will wrap up the session by the sharing of our clinical, product, patient education, and practice manage- ment successes. Using these successes, we will pinpoint specific actions that made each success possible and be able to re-create these actions to enable future successes. OBJECTIVES • Recognize the steps required for problem solving every day dental hygiene practice issues • Understand the importance of sharing our practice successes in the development of new protocol we can implement in our offices Robert Supple Dr. Robert C.

PRESENTATION Integrative Dental Medicine 9–11:45am, Friday 6/18 LOCATION: GALISTEO/AZTEC TYPE: LECTURE CEU: 3 COURSE DESCRIPTION Epigenetics is today’s reality. The clinical dentist is literally at the epicenter of proactive healthcare. The oral cavity and stomatognathic architecture are magnificent in design, but alterations to an “ideal structure” change the envelope of function, adaptation follows, and the patient creates conditions that only a dentist can diagnose. As you learn Occlusion/TMD/Airway and connect the dots then it’s pos- sible for you to reach your potential as a clinical oral physician. The dental team’s intuition, recognition, and education transform lives when you crack the “Occlusion Confusion” code. The bottom line improves, patients trust increases, and cases become pro- active, not reactive. Teaching vs. selling is the new paradigm influencing the future of integrative dental medicine. If you love dentistry, do not miss this presentation! OBJECTIVES • Recognize creative and critical thinking patterns in today’s digital revolution • Apply basic definitions of words that you already know • How the TM joints are your friends and heal when the “twisted sister syndrome” is addressed • Discover why Integrative Dental Medicine and the Oral Physician model are the future of dentistry
