The Smile Test Drive (& Beyond), from Curiosity to Case Acceptance

In this lecture and hands-on workshop, Dr. Marvin Berlin teaches a step-by-step chairside mock-up workflow for prepless and minimal-prep veneers, along with efficient photography, quick video editing, material selection, shade and texture techniques, and simple communication strategies—so attendees leave ready to deliver instant smiles on Monday morning.

The Troublesome Connection Between TMD and Airway

Presented by Steve Carstensen, DDS, FAGD, DABDSM, FAASM
When patients present to dental offices with TMD and head pain, most dentists don’t ask about other somatic pain syndromes or take a detailed history that might reveal airway problems. This lecture establishes why TMD & airway are often linked, provides tools to help manage chronic conditions, and positions dentists as experts in helping patients achieve greater overall health.

Airway Therapy for the Primary Care Dental Team

Presented by Steve Carstensen, DDS, FAGD, DABDSM, FAASM
An overview of sleep disordered breathing and what the dental team can do about it. We begin with the basics: sleep, dental appliances, and the crucial role nasal function plays in respiration. We’ll discuss how to work with sleep physicians, medical insurance interaction, AND the "ABCs" of marketing. Then we go a bit beyond the basics: complications, titration and follow-up testing, and team development.
