SUMMARY:University Series I
DESCRIPTION:I’m Not Quite Healthy\, but Not Quite a Cavity:\nUnderstanding the vast continuum that separates healthy enamel on one side to a lesion in need of a drill and fill on the other\n\nAdvances in imaging\, lasers\, and artificial intelligence have made it much easier to identify incipient enamel lesions way before they become frank cavitation requiring invasive interventions\, usually involving an injection\, a drill\, and a costly restoration. These innovations have demonstrated to both dentists and their patients numerous small inter proximal or marginal areas of concern\, but there has never been much consensus about what to do at that point. Fortunately\, advances in preventative treatment have been just as impressive and innovating as the advances in diagnostic tools. In this highly pragmatic and entertaining presentation\, Dr. Gupta introduces the numerous preventative strategies\, when to use the and ow to properly implement them in your already busy and productive clinical operation.\n\nREGISTRATION FORM \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscover the extremely diverse offerings of topical preventative fluoride and silver diamide fluoride\, and what the most appropriate clinical\nsituations are for each\nLearn about how AI radiology interpretation is a must-have for any cutting edge clinical environment\nDiscover the most up to date research about the best possible home care regiment (this one will surprise you)\nRealize the financial opportunities that will allow for our new preventative philosophies to maintain clinical profitability\n\n\nI Want My Back Back:\nIdentifying and mitigating the factors that make even the most successful dentists miserable \nDespite the myriad of benefits that dentists get to enjoy including a high income\, a less than 5-day work week\, and the opportunity to be a business\nowner\, many are miserable. This can be sourced to 4 main factors: body pain\, isolation\, un-needed stress\, and debt. In this half-day presentation\,\nDr. Gupta shares the stories of many dentists and how they intentionally changed the trajectory of their lives.\nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscover the #1 happiness and relationship killer that also affects your ability to perform more comprehensive dentistry\nIlluminate the long-term impact of poor posture and a sedentary lifestyle to the dental team\nGail a daily core strength routine that can affect your overall quality of life\nExamine the culture\, habits and health of those living in Blue Zones and learn why they live disproportionately longer lives\nRecognize the barriers\, benefits and steps for integrating a mindful approach everyday\nExplore the long term physical/psychological implications of a “constantly plugged in” life\nIdentify steps to prevent and treat burnout\n\nDr. Ankur Gupta\nAnkur A Gupta\, DDS\, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland\, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge\, hand skills\, and a personable demeanor\, he watched as his practice floundered\, finances became unpredictable\, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend\, he made a guinea pig out of his office\, family\, and self\, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later\, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance\, a solution-oriented dental team; and most importantly\, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country\, always ending his presentations with practical\, implementable\, step-by-step ways to be better. Dr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005\, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland\, Ohio\, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry. In addition to founding North Ridgeville Family Dentistry\, Dr. Gupta is a member of the American Dental Association\, Greater Cleveland Dental Society\, Ohio Dental Association\, ADA Success Speaker Corp\, and an active board member and speaker for Catapult Education’s Speaker Bureau. Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE-certified provider \n\nPARKING: \nFrom Frank Avenue enter the Stark State College/KSU driveway.
