Next Presentation of Assignments will be held on SUNDAY, September 22, 2024
No prior level of skill, knowledge, or experience required of participants other than DDS or DMD degree.
NEMTP Goals:
**Each procedure is to be documented with photography to create clinical images on a PowerPoint or KeyNote presentation.
Track XII Assignment: (Esthetics)
1) Create an Informational Typodont for Patient Communication:
Using the typodont provided during our hands-on program, prepare several examples of
esthetic preparations demonstrating the philosophies discussed during the March 15-16
program. The typodonts should contain the following preparations:
1) Veneer preparation on #5, 6, 7,
2) Esthetic crown preparation on #8
3) Fabricate a provisional restoration using the putty we created during the hands-on program.
2) (OPTIONAL, but highly suggested): Remove tooth #9 (unscrew). Place a lab analog into the site at an ideal position and secure that using either flowable composite of a bis-acrylic material. Place a temporary abutment (one that can be prepared) and prepare that abutment for an esthetic crown. Fabricate a provisional restoration. Assignment #2 Clinical Esthetic Case from the list below: 1) A Filtek Matrix case of a minimum of two teeth 2) A veneer case with a minimum of two teeth 3) An anterior esthetic case involving and implant to match either adjacent restorations or natural teeth. This case can be combined with other restorations (veneers and crowns) The documentation should include photos of the patient before you begin, photos of your diagnostic casts and any associated wax-ups, photos of your preparations, and photos of your completed case. You should also assemble some supporting literature to include for your presentation in September.
Track XIII Assignment: (Endodontics)
3 parts, each attendee to complete all 3:
1) Meet with a local endodontist - treat them!!!!
-Discuss how to communicate better via referral notes, how to work better together and how to serve patients better, and also extend thanks.
-Update us on how that went and if anything came of this meeting: knowledge, systems, better rapport? Perhaps even admin to admin improvement in communication?
2) Review dental trauma and trauma protocols with your dental team to improve flow when emergency situations arise.
-Develop a trauma script (or review it if you already have) with your staff. How both the front office as well as the back office will deal with varying dental trauma calls/emergencies; can be a ppt, video, or doc.
-Set up a trauma kit so that everything is ready to go. Share with the group.
3) Present a CBCT case featuring something you/the practitioner has learned or then done/treatment planned differently, could also be a diagnostic conundrum for which you have had to request further help from OMFS/OMFR and/or another specialist. If you don't have a CBCT, use a case in which one was needed for the patient with above guidelines. Specifically, in a ppt, review a CBCT case with an "interesting" finding, preferably one in which you either needed to consult with an OMFR/OMFS and/or deviated from your treatment plan because of the information.
General Master Track Assignment Presentation Protocol
Intro Slide:
Discipline (Subject Being Presented)
Clinician (Your Name and Clinic Name)
Date
1. INTRODUCTION (1-3 slides)
Relevant patient history
Pertinent pre-treatment documentation (probings for perio, radiographs for endo, etc.)
Establish and present need for treatment through a supported diagnosis
Define objectives of treatment plan
2. CASE PRESENTATION
Each presentation will depend on course leader's requirements (See specific handout from each course leader)
Ensure good photography to clearly exhibit case progression
One slide exhibiting before and after photo
Describe outcome (in progress, success, failure, etc)
***Place your presentation on a USB drive. It doesn't hurt to have a copy on an additional USB and/or emailed to an accessible account in case of corrupted files (It happens)***
