  The Lip Factor and Orofacial Analysis by Dr. Kyle Stanley

  Throughout the years, esthetic dentistry has used teeth and gums only when designing smiles. We as dental professionals must remember to treatment plan with our patients' entire faces in mind. Dr. Stanley will introduce a paradigm shift in esthetic treatment planning where we can incorporate minimally invasive procedures through the Digital Smile Design technique to give our patients a youthful lower face, better incisal display, and treatment plan with an Orofacial approach.

  Learning Objectives:

  • Learn the Lip Factor technique to restore aging and over-augmented lips to an ideal youthful position
  • Learn how to treatment plan with an Orofacial approach
  • Treatment plan with new facial midline known as Facial Flow

  Demystifying Resorption by Dr. Kurt Wadsworth

  The goal of this webinar is to accurately identify the different types and classifications of root resorption, as well as their etiologies and treatment options. We will discuss diagnosis and long-term prognosis for various resorptive lesions, with a focus on invasive cervical resorption. We will evaluate clinical cases and discuss the appropriate multidisciplinary management of resorptive defects, including how to best communicate realistic expectations to the patient. Current endodontic literature will be briefly reviewed along with modern treatment modalities.
