An experienced licensed dentist (and a local RN) will assist with such procedures. The samples of blood will be collected in vials for use with centrifugation followed by handling techniques to simulate the clinical preparation just prior to a clinical use.  We will discuss best practices for disposal of biological waste\, as well. \nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\n\nUnderstand the science of blood derivatives involved with clinical applications in dentistry\nUnderstand the process of venipuncture and centrifugation of blood\nUnderstand patient management of related procedures\nExperience and demonstrate venipuncture\nLearn the techniques in handling blood samples and the fibrin manipulation\nLearn the safe handling of biological waste\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nDr. Stephen E.

Restoration longevity through the avoidance of stained margins\, chipping and fractures are the long term and less predicable outcomes we face with bonded ceramics. In this lecture\, Dr. Richard Stevenson will present techniques to improve the longevity of bonded ceramic restorations through the application of sound techniques with respect to materials\, tooth structure\, preparation design and occlusion\, with the ultimate goal of Esthetic Durability. \n\nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\n\n\nUnderstand how to improve the long term marginal seal with bonded ceramics\nUnderstand how to minimize restoration fractures through optimal preparation principles\nUnderstand how to adjust occlusion on ceramic restorations to harmonize with the patient’s function\nUnderstand the importance of finishing and polishing ceramics and the methods for each material\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n \n\nDoctor Stevenson earned his DDS from the UCLA School of Dentistry in 1986.

Attendees will be eligible to receive a discount offer to either the online or one-day in person Pinhole® certification course. \n \n  \nCOURSE OBJECTIVE:\nThe Course objective is to learn how and why the Pinhole® Surgical Technique is so effective at treating gum recession of all types. In addition\, attendees will learn through surgical videos\, how the technique is easily applied without scalpels\, sutures or grafting. Attendees will also have the opportunity to apply for the intro Pinhole® hands on workshop later in the day. \nPinhole® Intro Hands-on Workshop with LIVE Cadaver Surgery: \nAttendees of the Pinhole® Intro Hands-on workshop will have the opportunity to learn some basic techniques of the Pinhole® Surgical Technique through hands on training with some Pinhole® instruments on a typodont model.  Dr. John Chao and his team will first lay out a brief description of how and why the Pinhole® technique works. Then the attendees will use Pinhole® instruments to simulate the technique on a typodont model.  Attendees will have the opportunity to view a LIVE Pinhole® Cadaver Surgery performed on a Cadaver with front row view in rotation with other attendees. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nDr. John C.

Dr. Chao will be one of the authors of this new study. \nDr. Chao has his own dental practice in Monterey Park. The practice grew and relocated to large building in Alhambra with 12 operatories\, where he still practices full time. In the late 1990’s Dr. Chao also graduated from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles while still maintaining a full-time dental practice.  In the early 2000’s he developed and patented the Pinhole® Surgical Technique.

Chao DDS\, MAGD\n \nThis course is for Dentists Only! \nThe afternoon Hands-On Mini Workshop has limited seating!! \n\nABOUT THE COURSE:\nThe Pinhole® Surgical Technique/ Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation® is a minimally invasive treatment to correct gum recession in as little as one visit.  The Pinhole® technique is a scalpel-free\, suture-free and graft-free technique that is quick\, easy and instantly pleasing for patients.  The Pinhole® technique has long term results of over 15 years and typically\, most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours after treatment with the Pinhole® Surgical Technique. \nThis course is broken into a morning session which is lecture only and the afternoon session will be an intro hands-on workshop. \nCOURSE OBJECTIVE:\nThe Course objective is to learn how and why the Pinhole® Surgical Technique is so effective at treating gum recession of all types. In addition\, attendees will learn through surgical videos\, how the technique is easily applied without scalpels\, sutures or grafting. Attendees will also have the opportunity to apply for the intro Pinhole® hands on workshop later in the day. \nPinhole® Intro Hands-on Workshop: \nAttendees of the Pinhole® Intro Hands-on workshop will have the opportunity to learn some basic techniques of the Pinhole Surgical Technique through hands on training with some Pinhole instruments on a typodont model.  Dr. John Chao and his team will first lay out a brief description of how and why the Pinhole® technique works. Then the attendees will use Pinhole instruments to simulate the technique on a typodont model.  The conclusion of the session will feature Dr. Chao showing the technique on a cadaver specimen. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nDr. John C. Chao graduated from the USC School of Dentistry.  He is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the USC Dental School. He received the Ostro School of Dentistry of USC\, 2012 Outstanding Faculty award. Dr. Chao is also involved with the Post-Graduate Periodontics Program at the University of Buffalo in New York. As a Research Assistant Professor at this University\, Dr. Chao is involved in a major study comparing the Pinhole Surgical Technique\, his invention\, to the standard treatment for gum recession called the Connective Tissue Graft. Dr. Chao will be one of the authors of this new study. \nDr. Chao has his own dental practice in Monterey Park. The practice grew and relocated to large building in Alhambra with 12 operatories\, where he still practices full time. In the late 1990’s Dr. Chao also graduated from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles while still maintaining a full-time dental practice.  In the early 2000’s he developed and patented the Pinhole® Surgical Technique.
