Rick Hansen is a Canadian icon who has dedicated his life to creating a world that is accessible and inclusive for all. Best known as the Man In Motion for undertaking an epic two-year circumnavigation around the world in his wheelchair, Mr. Hansen is also a four-time world champion, nine-time Pan Am gold medalist and three-time Paralympic gold medalist. Now the CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, an organization committed to creating a world without barriers for people with disabilities, Mr. Hansen uses his presentations to challenge everyone to become a difference-maker and a legacy-leaver.
When Mr. Hansen was 15, his life changed forever. Returning home from a week-long fishing trip, he was thrown from the back of a pickup truck and became paralyzed from the waist down. His new reality came with a lot of challenges, but with determination, a sense of humour and a lot of heart, Mr. Hansen found a way to keep doing the things he loved and began to make new dreams.
In 1976, Mr. Hansen enrolled at the University of British Columbia, becoming the first person with a disability to graduate with a degree in physical education. Between 1979 and 1984, he turned his focus to track and marathoning, winning 19 international wheelchair marathons, the world title three times and nine gold medals at the 1982 Pan Am Games. Mr. Hansen won two gold medals and one silver at the 1984 Paralympic Summer Games in Stoke Mandeville, U.K., and gold, silver and bronze at the 1980 Paralympic Summer Games in Arnhem, Holland.
With nothing but a vision, a trailer and a passionate team of supporters, he pushed his wheelchair out of Vancouver on March 22, 1985, to set out on a journey that would make history. The Man In Motion World Tour was fuelled by two big dreams: to prove the potential of people with disabilities and to make communities more accessible and inclusive. The tour raised $26 million and became a catalyst for enormous change in the way people with disabilities were perceived.
Since the Man In Motion World Tour 30 years ago, Mr. Hansen has dedicated his life to creating a world that is accessible and inclusive for all by removing barriers for people with disabilities. Mr. Hansen and his team at his foundation are working hard to change attitudes, create accessible spaces and liberate the amazing potential of people with disabilities.
Mr. Hansen is the recipient of many awards and honours, including the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal; the Christopher Reeve Award; the CPA Alberta Canada’s Walk of Fame award; Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame – William Van Horne Visionary Award; the Athlete of the Century award from the British Columbia

Global Diagnosis – A New Vision of Dental Diagnosis and Treatment-Planning
William Robbins, DDS, MA
With the increased emphasis on interdisciplinary treatment in recent years, the deficiencies associated with traditional methods of diagnosis and treatment-planning have become more evident and problematic. Historically, the treatment plan was simply based on restorative
space, anterior tooth coupling, and resistance and retention form of the final preparations, with no focus on placing the teeth in the correct position in the face. Practitioners did not have access to advanced periodontal, orthodontic, orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery tools that are currently available. With the advent and common usage of these new treatment modalities, the historical method of diagnosis and treatment-planning is no longer adequately serving our profession. It is the purpose of this lecture to provide a systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Learning Objectives:• Describe the four global diagnoses that dictate all interdisciplinary
treatment-planning• Describe the 5 Core Questions with their corresponding
treatment options• Learn a common language to communicate with the
interdisciplinary team

Dental Recordkeeping – Back to Basics
Greg Anderson BSc, DDS
Michael Gardner DDS
Vicky Nguyen DMD
Professional, ethical and legal responsibilities require that a complete chart and record documenting all aspects of each patient’s dental care be maintained. A detailed chart accurately records the patient’s dental condition when first presenting at the office, assists and supports a proper diagnosis and treatment- planning and provides a clear description of the patient’s ongoing care. Good records are also the dentist’s best defence in the event of a formal complaint or lawsuit. In this presentation, RCDSO representatives offer guidance and practical advice in understanding the dental recordkeeping requirements in Ontario.
Learning Objectives:• Understand and appreciate the reasons for keeping good patient records• Describe the requirements for various components of a complete chart • Identify problem areas and take advantage of helpful tips to keeping better patient records

Dental Management of Patients with Endocrine DisordersAviv Ouanounou, BSc, MSc, DDS, FICO
The endocrine system is essential for hormonal secretion and is closely related to the central nervous system. It controls many physiological processes and maintains homeostasis. There are many endocrine diseases, which may include diabetes mellitus, Addison’s disease,
Cushing’s syndrome, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. It is essential for dental practitioners to recognize these disorders and to properly manage these patients. In this lecture, Dr. Ouanounou will review the pathophysiology, pharmacotherapy and dental management of patients with these endocrine diseases. The necessary precautions needed during the provision of dental treatment and the appropriate management of medical emergencies that can arise during treatment will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:• Recognize the prevalence of endocrine disorders• Understand (a) the pathophysiology and (b) the pharmacotherapy
of these disorders and consequences to oral health• Introduce the appropriate procedures in dental practice required to
optimize dental care in these patients, and recognize and manage medical emergencies in patients with endocrine diseases

Pain Management and Analgesics Use in the Dental Office: An Overview
Aviv Ouanounou, BSc, MSc, DDS, FICO
One of the most common sequela associated with dentistry and dental treatment is acute post-operative pain. Almost every procedure associated with dental treatment has the potential to cause some degree of post-operative pain requiring multi-faceted management. Today’s clinician has
a large armamentarium of pharmacological agents to draw from to control acute post-operative pain. Depending on the anticipated severity of post-operative pain, these agents may include acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and opioids. Attendees in this lecture will be introduced to evidence-based information related to the basic mechanisms of pain, the pharmacology of analgesics and the rationale for the selection of an analgesic for the treatment of acute odontogenic pain. Also, other newer analgesics (particularly used for chronic facial and TMJ pain) will be discussed. The common adverse drug reactions and drug interactions associated with these agents will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:• Discuss the physiology of pain• Review and discuss the pharmacology of the most common
analgesics used in dentistry to treat acute and chronic pain• Recognize potential drug interactions and adverse drug events
associated with the use of analgesics commonly prescribed by dental practitioners and understand the importance of organ function/disease status in altering the absorption, distribution, metabolism and therapeutic action of dentally used analgesics

Immediate Implant Placement and Loading of Dental Implants: Why, When and How?Lesley David, DDS, Dip OMFS, FRCD(C)
Implant protocols have dramatically changed over the years in terms of when to place a dental implant relative to an extraction and when to restore the implant. Patients are more aware than ever before about their care and what options are available. It is crucial for clinicians to have a thorough understanding of the rationale and concept of immediate implant placement and loading. This lecture explores the topic of immediate implant placement and loading by reviewing the literature, discussing the indications, contraindications and the various options to achieve this end result. The esthetic zone will be reviewed, as well as the fully edentulous patient. Precise implant execution is required
to optimize results; various options for osteotomy preparation highlighting the synergy with prosthetics will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:• Review the rational for immediate implant placement and loading• Understand the indications and contraindications for immediate implant placement and loading• Review the keys to success and options available to the clinician to execute immediate implant placement and loading

The Monolithic RevolutionMichael DiTolla, DDS
PFMs now make up only 10 per cent of the crowns fabricated by the largest dental lab, having been largely replaced by solid zirconia and lithium disilicate. These monolithic restorations are high-strength, cementable, all-ceramic restorations that behave differently than
traditional restorations, and this lecture focuses on how to prepare, adjust, decontaminate, cement/bond and cut off these new restorations, when necessary. Perhaps most impressively, the fracture rates for these monolithic restorations are second only to cast gold.
Learning Objectives:• Learn the indications, contraindications and prep designs for
monolithic and bi-layered restorations• Learn to decontaminate these restorations, select the correct primers
and determine the most appropriate cement• Learn to adjust contacts and occlusion, polish these restorations and
how to safely cut them off

Advanced Concepts in Restorative Direct and Indirect Dentistry
Lou Graham, DDS
For more than 100 years, the standard of care for caries diagnostics has been the explorer and X-rays. Let’s all agree that if you are utilizing these as your solo tools for caries diagnostics, you are simply guessing way too much when to pick up the drill, and equally, you are so limiting your
patients on what truly you could offer them, both in prevention and early minimally invasive treatment. The morning lecture will challenge you with new protocols for care and problem-solve many of the issues today in direct restorative dentistry. The lecture then transitions into far more challenging casework that will include both direct and indirect restorative clinical care. This full-day lecture will provide attendees with the latest in adhesion dentistry, along with many of the latest techniques and materials available today.
Learning Objectives:• Modern-day diagnostics: Is it time to put down your explorer and truly
complement your digital X-rays with the latest in caries diagnostics and offer new protocols to your patients?
• The key pitfalls in direct adhesion and how to avoid them – you will be surprised – and advanced approaches to direct restorative: how to really up your game
• Digital crown and bridge – oh, the joy of impressions and more, including cementation: why bioactive cements truly offer you excellent options today and how to choose the right cements

The Diet to Promote Health and Prevent DiseaseWarren Karp, DMD, PhD
Patients receive different, and often times conflicting, nutritional and dietary advice from health professionals, the media and advertising. Dental health professionals need to provide patients with consistent nutrition and diet advice using an evidence-based approach. A number of significant advances have been made in the understanding of how diet and nutrition relate to both a persons wellness, as well as to chronic diseases such as dental disease, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cancer. Patients are often uninformed about effective diet and nutritional approaches to these diseases. This lecture will focus on presenting the latest information relating diet and
nutrition to disease prevention.
Learning Objectives:• To help patients understand the scientific basis of preventive nutrition and healthy diets• To learn the difference between evidenced-based and non-evidenced-based nutritional science• To review the scientific principles of patient nutritional recommendations

Let’s Grow TeethJack Griffin, DMD
Ever had a patient say, “Doc, that tooth was never a problem until you fixed it.”? Let’s stop the madness. This lecture deals with the elimination of sensitivity, while providing an environment where tissues can heal. Less sensitivity, happier patients. With newer regenerative/
bioactive materials, we can stimulate dentin-healing and self-repair in our direct and indirect restorations, all while reducing sensitivity. These materials promote oral health by decreasing plaque, reducing bacterial accumulation or promoting cells to cause regeneration of tissues. You will learn indications for newer liners, bases, cements and restorative materials that encourage dentin repair and lessen sensitivity.
Learning Objectives:• The bioactive/regenerative environment: why, how and what materials• The latest in regenerative materials: liners, dentin replacements,
cements, restorative materials to provide an environment where tissues can heal
• The most durable indirect restorations ever: zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns formation and sealing of the restoration margins

Cementation Sanity: Eliminating Most of the Confusion and Problems with Indirect Restoration Placement
Jack Griffin, DMD
Leakage, breakage, lost restorations, sensitivity, staining – oh my! It’s a confusing dental world out there. Was the failure because of the prep, impression, lab or me? CAD/CAM or pressed, cement or bond, layer or monolithic, etch or no-etch, dry or moist, light or chemical cure? Let’s
stop the madness. Ever had a patient say, “Doc, that tooth was never a problem until you fixed it.”? Advances in durable tooth-coloured restorative materials mean changes in preparation and cementation techniques. Our goal is to end the uncertainty with the newer materials and learn how to have the ultimate success with today’s indirect materials, from planning to preparation to placement.
Learning Objectives:• The more durable indirect esthetic indirect materials: monolithic,
maximum strength, acceptable esthetics, minimum effort, great preparations and long-term clinical success
• The classifications of luting materials, benefits to each and when to use: retention and restoration strengthening
• Simplifying cementation choices: when to bond, when to cement, when to cure and what to use, with a focus on regenerative materials when the prep is good and maximum adhesion, when needed

Variants of Normal Radiologic Anatomy that Simulate Disease on Panoramic Images
Ernest Lam, DMD, MSc, PhD, FRCD(C)
The assessment of any imaging examination relies on a familiarity with normal anatomy contained therein. Although students develop competency with the radiologic appearances of normal anatomy in dental school, it is only after seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of images that the
practitioner develops an appreciation for the range of normal appearances of anatomy. Even so, normal anatomy may be presented on panoramic images that may be confused with disease. This lecture will provide a systematic approach to the investigation of panoramic images and explore the range of normal appearances that may be misinterpreted as disease.
Learning Objectives:• To develop a systematic approach to panoramic image investigation• To understand the range of what may be considered normal anatomy
on panoramic images• To identify key areas on the panoramic image where normal anatomy
may be confused with disease

Oral Manifestations and Management of Patients with Immunosuppression and Autoimmune Diseases
Allan Hovan DMD, MSD, FRCD(C)
More and more dental patients are on immunosuppressive medications for management of a vast array of medical disorders. Other patients are immunosuppressed as a
result of disease, including autoimmune disorders. This can range from the patient with oral lichen planus to the patient on systemic chemotherapy for breast cancer. Clinicians need to be aware of the dental-management guidelines for these patients in their practice. In addition, the diseases or treatment of the diseases can cause changes within the oral cavity which, again, need appropriate management. This lecture will provide a practical review of immune and autoimmune disorders, their medical management and their presentation in the oral cavity and how we best manage these oral complications as dental professionals.
Learning Objectives:• Understand the various presentations of immunodeficiency in the oral cavity• Understand autoimmune disease, as it presents in the oral cavity• Understand the diagnosis and management strategies for the various
manifestations of immunodeficiency and autoimmune disease in the oral cavity

From Features to Image Interpretation: What to Look For and What It M\eans
Ernest Lam, DMD, MSc, PhD, FRCD(C)
In instances where an abnormality has not seen since dental school days is identified, the task of image interpretation may be challenging. Using case-based examples, this lecture will use plain and panoramic images, as well as cone beam CT images, as a means of identifying key
radiologic features of diseases arising in the jaw. We will attempt to correlate these features with the underlying mechanisms of the disease that have produced them. And finally, we will weigh their importance in the interpretation of diseases and disease process that occur within the jaw.
Learning Objectives:• To develop a systematic approach to image investigation• To relate imaging features to a disease mechanism that has given rise
to the feature• To develop a systematic approach to the interpretation of abnormalities
based on these features
