Seeing the Big Picture with Dr. Gregg Kinzer (DHP217)

Dr. Gregg Kinzer took time out of his busy (insane?) schedule teaching on campus to speak with Jason and Alan! He's a dental education rock star who spends half his time

• How Spear Education really works...from big picture concepts to logistics of running 4 or more classes at once
• How important is photography for restorative dentistry? Is it important to show people biting fruit?
• For people who love big case restorative, would a prosthodontic residency be right for them?
• Why Spear Education isn't just for full mouth rehab
• How did the downturn in the economy in 2008 affect the way the Spear Education teaches?
• How to incorporate new concepts into existing practice
• How has adding airway considerations changed the way he treatment plans and executes dentistry?
• How is ortho becoming the most important part of restorative dentistry?

We think it's time for you to check out Cosmedent's virtual version of "CPR for the Worn Dentition" by Dr. Dennis Hartlieb.This untapped goldmine is the course that our students keep coming back for. Dentists are seeing tooth loss at an unprecedented level. And it's not just from grinding and stress. Do you understand what is causing all the wear and erosion that you are seeing in your practice? During CPR For The Worn Dentition, Dr. Hartlieb will help you understand the etiology of such great tooth loss. You will learn how to identify the different causative agents like grinding, bruxism, dietary issues, GERD, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and how they may be related to one another. This course is designed for restorative dentists looking to build their skills and confidence in managing worn dentition cases with a predictable treatment modality that they can immediately put into effect.
