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.

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:\n Dr. 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. In 2013\, the Pinhole Academy was established to train and certify dentists in the Pinhole® technique. \nDETAILS\nLimited Seating for Hands-On Workshop!!! \nTime:   9 am – 12 pm – Lecture      1 pm – 4 pm – Hands-on \nRegistration: 8:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. \nThe morning session includes a continental breakfast and the afternoon session includes lunch. \n CE Units:  3 Lecture / 3 Hands-On \nAGD Subject Code: 490 (Periodontics) \nThe parking will be validated for all attendees. \nPRICING\n\n\n\n\nLecture\nHands-On Workshop\nBoth Sessions Special\n\n\nAGD Dentist\n$85\n$350\n$415\n\n\nNon-AGD Dentist\n$250\n$549\n$775\n\n\n\n  \nREFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY\n\nCancellations made by 06/18/21 will be fully refunded\nCancellations made 06/19/21 – 06/22/2021 will be refunded minus:\n\n$ 50 processing fee for AM session\n$ 75 processing fee for PM session & both sessions special\n\n\n\n\nTransfer of a registration will be considered by email until 06/22/2021\nNon-refundable as of 06/23/2021\n\n  \nContact: Avani Chetty \n           Email: Avani@CAGD.com        Telephone: 310-471-4916 \n \n  \n \n  URL:https://scagd.com/event/eliminate-ugly-gum-recession/ LOCATION:DoubleTree by Hilton Anaheim-Orange County\, 100 The City Drive S\, Orange\, CA\, 92868\, United States CATEGORIES:SCAGD ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://scagd.com/wp-content/uploads/dr-chao_372x250px.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Avani Chetty":MAILTO:avani@cagd.com GEO:33.7878247;-117.891761 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=DoubleTree by Hilton Anaheim-Orange County 100 The City Drive S Orange CA 92868 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=100 The City Drive S:geo:-117.891761,33.7878247 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201206T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201206T120000 DTSTAMP:20261112T165305 CREATED:20201016T054453Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201028T234918Z UID:2761-1607241600-1607256000@scagd.com SUMMARY:Botox Therapy in Dentistry Webinar DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\nCOURSE DESCRIPTION\n  \nBOTOX THERAPY has many uses in everyday dentistry.

(The morning lecture is not limited and you can purchase it a la carte if you like) \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:\n Dr. 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. In 2013\, the Pinhole Academy was established to train and certify dentists in the Pinhole® technique. \nDETAILS\nLimited Seating for Hands-On Workshop!!! \nTime: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm     8 am – 12 pm – Lecture      1 pm – 5 pm – Hands-on \nRegistration: 7:30 a.m. till 8:00 a.m. \nMorning Session includes Continental Breakfast \nAfternoon Session Includes Lunch \nEight CE Units: 8 Units – 4 Lecture / 4 Hands-On \nAGD Subject Code: 492 \n****  Free Parking  **** \n\nPRICING\n\n\n\n\nLecture\nHands-On Workshop\n   Both Sessions Special\n\n\nAGD Dentist\nFREE ***\n$250\n\n\n\nNon-AGD Dentist\n$50\n$395\n$425\n\n\n\n  \nREFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY\n***AGD Dentists (lecture): $50 deposit for the morning session will be fully refunded to the credit card used at time of registration as long as morning session is attended.

After a one year residency\, he established his private practice in cosmetic and implant dentistry in Beverly Hills\, Calif.\, where he now works with his son and daughter. He also teaches at the UCLA School of Dentistry\, passing on his knowledge to the dentists of tomorrow. Dr. Frawley is committed to the development of dentistry on all levels and is involved with both local and national dental associations. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association\, where he currently serves as a trustee. For the past 30 years\, he has been involved in implants and regenerative dentistry. He is part owner of Surgical Esthetics\, a company focused on regenerative therapies\, which was founded more than five years ago. \nCourse Description\nGrafting \nAs dentists\, we hear a lot about implants\, sinus lifts and ridge grafting. Extraction socket preservation has not been given the attention it deserves. Unfortunately for our patients\, most of us are not grafting extraction sites to preserve the alveolar bone. This presentation will help answer your questions about the socket grafting procedure\, instruments to use and NEW grafting technologies. The goal of this program is to give each one of you the tools to be able to graft all your future extractions. The key is to get started! It is the right thing for your patients and it is good for your practice. After this meeting you will be able to start doing socket preservation in your office TOMORROW. \n• use quadrant models w/ soft tissue \n• practice on special suturing boards \n• proper instruments for successful grafting \n• place simulated graft material in a socket \n• size and place simulated membranes \n• various suturing techniques and their indications \n Implants \nHistorically\, general practitioners have referred their patients to specialists for implant placement. Minimizing these referrals can drastically improve practice health\, and serve a broader demographic of patients. Attendees will learn the principles of successful implant placement\, proper case selection\, and how to manage complications.
