SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., USA: CDA Presents The Art and Science of Dentistry, the bi-annual convention of the California Dental Association, is expecting to draw more than 14,000 dentists, dental professionals and students from across the U.S. The three-day convention will feature over 150 educational courses and 375 exhibitors demonstrating new techniques and innovative products and services for dentists.

The meeting will be held Sept. 4 to 6 (Thursday to Saturday) at Moscone South in San Francisco. Meeting organizers have announced the following educational highlights:

Detection and Diagnosis of Oral Lesions for the General Practitioner: A Hands-on Cadaver Course.  Led by Homayon Asadi, DDS, and William M. Carpenter, DDS, MS, this workshop will provide proper head and neck examination and hands-on experience in oral mucosal and soft-tissue biopsy techniques. Use of appropriate instruments, biopsy site selection, tissue procurement, specimen fixation and relationship with the pathology laboratory also will be covered. Thursday, Sept. 4, from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and repeats 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Local Anesthesia Cadaver Dissection.  This workshop, led by Alan W. Budenz, DDS, and Mel Hawkins, DDS, will cover the anatomy, landmarks, skull locations, insertion points and needle pathways for the inferior alveolar, mental and advanced (higher) mandibular nerve blocks such as the Gow-Gates and Akinosi techniques and a complete maxillary division nerve block, as well as the use of other blocks and infiltrations. Analysis of the neurovasculature, muscles of mastication and accessory innervations in the dissected fields will allow direct visualization and better understanding of local anesthesia.  Saturday, Sept. 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Practice Assessment: How Healthy Is Your Business?  Led by Michael W. Perry, DDS, and Robyn Thomason, CDA Practice Support director, this lecture will help dentists understand the key practice assessments that keep a practice healthy and strong. Attendees will learn how to “diagnose” the business problems, develop a “treatment plan” of solutions and implement that plan as well as how to identify when it’s time to bring on a consultant to help implement changes and train the dental team.  Saturday, Sept. 6, from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Restorative Dentistry — International Symposia Functional and Esthetic Commitment Dentition . Miguel Angel Diez Gurtubay, MsC, will host this lecture to teach attendees how to design a treatment plan of a functionally and esthetically compromised anterior segment. This course will provide an overview of surgical alternatives based on tissues (soft tissue anatomy, bone volume and density). Attendees will learn the steps and techniques used from diagnosis up to cementation of a restoration in natural teeth and on implants in patients with esthetic and functional compromise.  Thursday, Sept. 4, from 8:30 to 11 a.m.
