Topic 1:
TOBACCO ADDICTION: WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR PATIENTS
You will receive 1 unit(s) of continuing education credit upon successful completion of this course.

DESCRIPTION:
This course will introduce the history of tobacco, its addictive potential, as well as its effects on oral and overall health. Tobacco cessation methods will also be discussed, along with the role of dental team in this process.

AUTHOR:
Nevin Zablotsky, DMD

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to:
Understand a basic knowledge of tobacco’s history
Understand the nature of addiction and the physiology of tobacco addiction
Recognize the effects of tobacco on oral and overall health
Identify the tobacco cessation resources available to patients addicted to tobacco
Determine when the dental team needs to direct the tobacco patient to get help for their addiction.

ABSTRACT:
During the 20th century, 10 million Americans lives were unnecessarily cut short due to their tobacco use. In 2009, approximately 420,000 Americans lost their lives as well. With 2.8 million children under 18 presently using tobacco, the future well being of our nation is under threat just at the time that the healthcare costs are spinning out of control. It has been shown that the dental team can significantly effect their patients’ decisions to quit their tobacco use. This course will serve as an introductory effort to prepare that team for that role.

Topic 2:
CLINICAL USE OF LIGHT, SLOW AND CONTINUOUS FORCES FOR MAXILLARY EXPANSION
You will receive 1 unit(s) of continuing education credit upon successful completion of this course.

DESCRIPTION:
The unique design of a new appliance, the Nitanium® Palatal Expander2 ™can convey a uniform, slow, low, continuous force for rotation, expansion and distalization for arch development.

AUTHOR:
Maurice C. Corbett, DDS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to do the following::

Know that 25-30% of all orthodontic patients can benefit from maxillary expansion.
Know that almost all Class II malocclusions can be improved by molar rotation, distalization, and/or expansion.
Understand that light and slow expansion procedures can allow physiologic adjustments and reconstitution of the suture elements.
Understand that nickel titanium can be used to provide an expansion rate that maintains tissue integrity while repositioning and remodeling of the teeth and bone.
Learn the procedures for appliance selection, preparation, placement, and adjustment of the Nitanium® Palatal Expander2™.
Understand other functions and uses of the Nitanium® Palatal Expander2 ™

ABSTRACT:
Traditionally, rapid palatal expanders such as the Haas and the Hyrax have been used during treatment of discrepancies in the transverse plane. This type of expansion can deliver forces in the 1120 to 7500 grams range. It has been suggested that slower expansion procedures can provide a more physiological force for alterations to suture and periosteal tissues. The unique design of a new appliance, the Nitanium® Palatal Expander2 ™, can convey a uniform, slow, low, continuous force for rotation, expansion and distalization for arch development. A selection of sizes is available for the appropriate amount of arch development. The appliance can be constructed and delivered at chairside, thus eliminating expensive and time consuming laboratory procedures. The appliance can be used both bilaterally and unilaterally and has many uses that support other adjunctive therapy.
