LeSage, DDS, FAACD, William Johnston Rowe, Jr., DDS, AAACD, Michael R. Sesemann, DDS, FAACDMoreDLTThe Advanced Accreditation Workshop provides an in-depth analysis of how Accreditation cases are evaluated and is a great opportunity for participants to have their own cases reliably critiqued. This workshop is universally viewed as the most helpful step for individuals working toward Accreditation. Participants are encouraged to have taken the two required workshops in the credentialing process prior to attending this advanced course. All participants are encouraged to bring clinical cases for review, whether completed or in the case selection phase. All cases should be loaded on a memory stick in the AACD’s PowerPoint® template which is available for download on the AACD website.
For identification purposes during the workshop, write your name, member number, and case type on each memory stick using a permanent marker.
Educational Objectives:
1 . Understand how cases for Accreditation are examined based on specific criteria
2 . Sharpen your eye to discern fine details in examining cosmetic dentistry
3 . Present cosmetic dentistry cases for feedback to decide if the criteria has been met

Topic: BotoxW165 - Discolored Teeth: The Direct Composite Resin ApproachJason Smithson, BDSMoreDADTeeth become discolored for a variety of reasons: tetracycline staining, loss of vitality after restoration with silver amalgam, or if treated with full coverage crowns. Today this would be considered unnecessarily destructive. Sometimes these teeth are amenable to bleaching, but sometimes that fails or is not appropriate. In
this course, an upper incisor tooth is restored with a direct composite resin veneer utilizing varying opacities of resin to mask the discoloration yet maintain a lifelike level of translucency. Also experience an efficient stepwise polishing protocol which enables the operator to recreate enamel macro and micro-morphology to render
the restoration indistinguishable from natural tooth structure.
Educational Objectives:
1 . Examine the diagnosis of tooth discoloration – not all are created equal
2 . Select the optimal resin for discolored tooth – microfill vs . nano vs . microhybrid
3 . Demonstrate tooth preparation (layering and finishing) to recreate natural tooth structure

Topic: CAD/CAMW170 - Making the Complex Simple and Predictable – Introducing Additive-Reductive Template (ART)Peter Harnois, DDS, Bradley L. Jones, FAACDMoreDThis workshop will teach you how to easily make even the most complex, mal-aligned cases simple by following a proven, state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive protocol called “A.R.T.” (Additive-Reductive Template). This protocol will prevent the “over or under-prepping” of teeth, which often occurs when trying to master conservative esthetic dentistry. A.R.T. will give the conservative esthetic dentist unprecedented options and control. With proper planning and communication, minimally-invasive smile design can be predictable, and incredibly rewarding.
Educational objectives:
1. Quickly master minimally-invasive “smile design” dentistry
2. Properly manage the patient’s expectations on “no-prep” and “minimal-prep” cases
3. Learn a simplified, predictable, proven protocol (A.R.T.)

We need to understand the underlying cause of problems in order to achieve lifelong stable results. The primary focus in most dental treatment is towards teeth and occlusion. Unfortunately, dynamic function is not the main concern in diagnosis. However, the knowledge of the mandibular movement and the related occlusion parameters lead to successful dentistry as a comprehensive concept for all dental disciplines.
Educational Objectives:
1 . Importance of occlusal plane inclination, angle of the eminence, angle of disocclusion, and inclination of the guidance system to achieve predictable dentistry
2 . Importance of understanding the masticatory organ as a dynamic system
3 . Transition from repair dentistry to comprehensive care - learn the importance of bringing the jaws, muscles, and teeth into harmony

Topic: Dentate and Edentulous ImpressionsFullW257 - Restoring The Peg Lateral Incisor: The Direct Composite Resin Approach: A Half-Day Master ClassJason Smithson, BDSMoreDLTThe peg lateral incisor is a form of microdontia, which is fairly prevalent, and indeed is found in between 0.3 and 8.4 % of the general population. Classically, this tooth form presents an orthodontic and esthetic defect and patients often request a restoration. Typically, placement is technically demanding in terms of masking
shine through; incisal edge position, emergence profile and contact points. Restoration in composite resin is often more conservative and less costly than ceramics. In this engaging presentation, Dr. Smithson will discuss a general overview of microdontia, the fabrication of a simple PVS stent to allow control of palatal form, the role of opaque composite to block out unwanted light transmission, opalescence and the incisal halo, and much more.
The Hands-On Component:
An upper lateral incisor tooth is restored with direct composite resin using a simple elegant approach, which is predictable and confers significant time saving advantages over traditional layering protocols. Composite resin of varying chromaticity and translucence is employed to achieve the appearance of truly lifelike enamel and dentin in conjunction with a simple tinting technique, which recreates the incisal opalescence, in addition to superficial white enamel infractions. Finally the resin veneer is polished to emulate the natural enamel surface characteristics, thus achieving high-end esthetics and durability to rival ceramics.
Educational Objectives:
1 . To prepare or not to prepare? When, why and how
2 . Learn how to layer with varying chromas to recreate a gradient from gingival to incisal
3 . Understand how to simply create tight contact points

Esthetics in the Digital Age!
Digital technology has penetrated every aspect of density done today. Digital workflow is being established to include new developments every few months, making this one of the fastest developing areas in dentistry, yet many people have been slow to embrace the technology. Join me in exploring how we have integrated these new tools to help serve the needs of today’s high end esthetically oriented patient. We will share ideas of how to best utilize the analytical tools, the esthetic overlays and functional aspects of digital design software. We will look at ways of developing esthetic prototypes from digital impressions and designs that will help patients visualize what is possible with esthetic treatment. Our patient’s esthetic expectations have not diminished, but with proper planning and organized workflow, we have the ability to easily achieve those expectations.
Educational Objectives:

The Mennonites trekked from Pennsylvania in Conestoga Wagons and settled in and around St. Jacobs in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Today, the old blacksmith shop still remains, as do the horse and buggy and historical buildings. Many of the original buildings remain housing art, crafts, gifts and antique shops.
Once you arrive in the town of Elmira, a local Mennonite guide will board your coach and provide commentary on the history, beliefs, and lifestyles of this Mennonite district and its settlers. The highlight of this tour will certainly be Canada’s largest year-round Farmers’ Market.
After selecting the finest produce from the Farmers’ Market or antiques and world-famous quilts in the shops, you’ll get to explore the last remaining covered bridge in Ontario and enjoy a hearty farmer’s lunch at the Stonecroft Inn. Then, a beautiful team of large draught horses will take you on a picturesque horse-drawn trolley tour.
