Seminars
What is sportsdentistry and Sports
Dentistry?
Continuing education is a wonderful opportunity to learn new things, share ideas with
professional colleagues and incorporate this experience into helping patients. Occlusal
guards are taking their place in dentistry alongside fluoridation, occlusal sealants and
osseointegrated implants.
Come to one of the seminars and learn what SportsDDS.com is
doing to educate the profession. Click the sidebar to see the Seminars Archive. Perhaps your study club, dental society
or group would like to arrange a presentation. If you're in the Big Apple for the
Greater New York Dental Meeting and would like to have lunch just shout and call
1-800-616-6399.

Trauma |
The practice of
Dentistry is changing daily. Dentists must prepare and update their approach. Sports
Dentistry is a harbinger of things to come.Fluoridation, oclusal sealants and now occlusal
guards are important contributions to sports medicine. Various chronic and acute dental
injuries will be discussed.Their prevention and reduction should be the goal of every
dentist.This thought provoking presentation will touch on : Cracked Tooth Syndrome,
amalgam controversy, bruxism (clenching, grinding, bracing, parafunction), dental implant
failure, soft splints v hard splints, protective athletic equipment, dental injury
predisposition and mouthguards. Some of the articles written about Sports Dentistry which
Dr. Kurtz will comment upon include: dentists need to understand the the magnitude of the
problems of fractures and theirpotential progression, amalgam as a restorative material
caused a static load on the cusps of teeth and brought about their consequent deformation,
teeth restored with composite only restorations demonstrated a higher fracture resistance
than equivalent sized restorations produced only from fiber-reinforced composite of a
ceramic material. an incomplete tooth fracture is a frequently encountered problem that
dentists need to assess carefully to arrive at the correct treatment decision, medications
should be considered when searching for an etiology of bruxism, an analysis and management
of fractured implants, implant loading can be reduced by modyfying the location of the
impact area and the occlusal anatomy, clenching teeth allows an individual and especially
an athlete to brace and experience a rise or burst in muscle power |
