The anatomy of the maxilla and the mandible can affect the efficacy of local anesthetics and their ease of delivery.

A review of the maxillary nerve, the mandibular nerve, the mandible and the maxilla will be discussed. Various injection techniques and local anesthetic products will be reviewed considering this nerve and bone anatomy.

Fundamentals of Clean Water and Air Delivery in Clinical Dental Settings
Presenter: Dr. Marie Fluent
Sponsor: Air Techniques
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Dental utility rooms play a vital role in maintaining infection control standards. The air compressor generates air for handpieces in dental procedures, while the dental unit provides water for general dental procedures. Meanwhile, the high-volume evacuation and central vacuum removes water, aerosols, airborne pathogens and particulates from the operatory field, and aerosols from the operatory. This CE webinar will address the “heart and lungs” of the dental clinic (compressor and vacuum) and how to best ensure that clean hygienic air and clean water is delivered and effectively removed during dental care.

One of the most valuable steps a new dentist can take is finding a mentor—someone who’s been in the field for 25 years or more and has learned through experience, including their own mistakes. A mentor offers the chance to see what lies ahead, helping you avoid getting caught up in the moment and make well-thought-out decisions about the kind of practice you want to build and the investments you’ll need to make. Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Chris Pescatore, a general dentist with over 30 years of experience. He has been a pioneer in digital dentistry since the early ’90s and has seen it all when it comes to creating aesthetic restorations. As you listen to Dr. Pescatore’s insights, we hope you gain invaluable advice to help guide you as you embark on your own dental career.
