Biomimetic Dentistry - Paradigm Shift
Paradigm shifts resulting from biomimetic restorative dentistry. How can science, common sense and experience in adhesive dentistry generate revolutionary concepts to save tooth structure and teeth? This presentation will describe some innovative techniques (immediate dentin sealing, deep margin elevation, additive luting and others) but also explore the future of CAD/CAM dentistry and "biologic restorations".

Technological Advances in Orthodontics
Today new technological advances in orthodontics allow for faster, better and more accurate treatment. Custom made appliances reduce the treatment time by one third - in some cases even by half. Occlusal results can be predicted before treatment is started and can be shared among all dentists in the interdisciplinary team. In this presentation you will see how orthodontics can help YOU provide better results for your patients; and how YOUR patients can benefit from application of these technologies to enhance speed, accuracy and appearance during orthodontic treatment.
Dan Grauer DDS PhD maintains a practice limited to orthodontics in Century City. He specializes in computer-guided orthodontic treatment for teenagers and adults, and in invisible orthodontic treatment. He is an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California, an Associate Editor for the American Journal Of Orthodontics, and an examiner for the American Board of Orthodontics.

Salivary Gland Disorders: Evaluation, Diagnosis and Management
Salivary gland disorders affect 1% of the global population and are often encountered in the practice of dentistry. Salivary gland diseases generally have similar features on presentation, although further investigations often reveals the distinct features that distinguish each type and offer clues to their management. This lecture will review bacterial, viral, autoimmune and other salivary gland diseases in the pediatric and adult populations. Etiology, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment modalities will be presented.
Dr. Michael D. Turner is a surgeon scientist with a focus in the study and treatment of salivary gland diseases. Dr. Turner obtained his DDS from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1994 with an honor in Oral Medicine. In 1995, he completed a fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In a combined MD/Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, he obtained a his MD at State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1998 and his certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2001.
In 2004, as an Assistant Professor at the New York University College of Dentistry, he performed one of the first cases of sialoendoscopy in the United States. To further enhance his ability to combine his interest in both the basic and clinical research in salivary gland diseases, he completed an NIH sponsored Master of Science degree from the New York University School of Medicine in Clinical Research/Translational Medicine. During this time period, he continued to perform sialoendoscopy and currently has performed hundreds of cases for a variety of salivary gland disorders.
In 2012 he joined the Head Neck Institute within the Department of Otolaryngology at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center as the director of the New York Center for Salivary Gland Diseases.
