16 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29 6:30pm-9:30pm B3. DR. MARK HILLMAN Intelligent Innovation

Synopsis: Many professionals hold onto their fi xed ideas about the way things are. "They" keep telling us the economy is in bad shape. We're in the middle of a recession. Things look pretty bleak. That's a fi xed idea. Look at all the things that fi t inside it! "The economy is slipping; I need to cut back, patients can't afford our products or services, I can't afford to advertise; this is not the time to expand."

This program provides support for any business from outside the box. We all know professionals who hold onto their fi xed ideas. Some hold on so tightly that they have trouble seeing their fi xed ideas. It can be enlightening to fi nd out which fi xed ideas might be holding us back.

"My patients are out there, they just don't know how to fi nd me!" This box represents a very typical philosophy behind marketing for new patients. Look at all the things that fi t inside this box. Mailing lists, free products or exams, even many referral programs fi t inside the box. No matter what actions you do more or less of, the same, different or better, if they are in the box, improvement will be slow. Get out of the box! What is there outside the box? Real public relations, patient education, deliberate and professional referral programs, educational mailings, and much, much more dwell outside the box.

We know that every dental practice is not the same. For that reason, the program I will be presenting for the BADM is to help you see the ﬁ xed ideas that could be holding you back. Business without growth is not business. I invite you to attend my program: Intelligent Innovation.

18 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29 6:30pm-9:30pm B5. MAYUKH PODDAR, MBA & MICHAEL PRENDERGAST, MBA, CFP Key Investment and Financial Planning Topics for Dentist Benefi ting from Optimizing Your Workplace Retirement Plan Dentists who have their own practice can reduce investment related taxes and receive other signifi cant benefi ts by choosing the best workplace retirement plan for them. Because of all the demands on dentists’ time, however, many do not have a workplace plan or have one that was chosen many years ago (which may no longer be the plan that maximizes their benefi ts). Attendees will learn: 1. The many benefi ts that workplace retirement plans can provide the dentist and his/her employees 2. How various workplace retirement plans differ and the pros and cons of each 3. Examples of how your colleagues are using workplace retirement plans to achieve their fi nancial and practice goals Financial Planning for Survivors Dentist’s widows and widowers face unique challenges and risks if a practicing dentist passes away unexpectedly. It is important for dentists to plan for the unexpected possibility of an early death in order to protect their loved ones and their assets. Patients are the most valuable aspect of a dental practice, and the moment a practicing dentist passes away, the practice begins to lose value. If the family has a plan in place, it can save the remaining family and descendants time, stress, and money. In this session we will discuss: 1. The challenges that a dental family faces if the practicing dentist passes away unexpectedly. 2. How can a dentist to help protect his or her loved ones? 3. If a dentist has not prepared for this possibility, what steps should his or her family take? Managing Investment Risk Investment risk presents the single most important challenge and opportunity in managing portfolios. While willingness to assume risk leads to fl uctuations in investor wealth, it also creates opportunities in the market. The key for investors is to be aware of the risks they are exposed to, and to make sure that they are comfortable with the amount of risk in their portfolios. In this session we will discuss: 1. What is investment risk really – how should we think about it? 2. How much risk is in a portfolio – is there a way to tell? 3. What strategies can investors use to manage risk in their portfolios? Due Diligence Process When investing with external fund managers we work through an extensive due diligence process designed to ensure that we work only with the best of breed managers. This is a cornerstone of our manager selection process and reduces both investment risk and operational risk. The key compo- nents of the process are: 1. Know the manager and his team 2. Monitor the manager 3. Make changes as necessary

25 THURSDAY, MARCH 30 8:30am-5:00pm C1. DR. STEVE KATZ AND KELLY FOX-GALVAGNI They Didn’t Teach Us THAT In Dental School - Doctor & Team Strategies for Practice Success & Treatment Acceptance Morning Session: Developing a Passionate, Motivated and Effi cient Team The success of any practice is dependent on clarity in deciding the future direction of the practice. Patience should be exercised in developing a team with a passion for core beliefs in line with the doctor’s. There are techniques in team development that insure the team will become motivated and that will eliminate the drama that adds stress to any practice. Systems development can simplify the operation of the practice and eliminate the oversights that can drag a practice down. When there is a clear vision, a perception of leadership, team empowerment and sound systems, patients have a higher perceived value of the care and practices fl ourish. Learn: 1. In the current economic environment you must be proactive 2. How a true vision can guide the daily decisions in operating a practice 3. Establishing a positive culture enables the doctor, team and patients to enjoy a mutually rewarding experience 4. That there is a process in developing team trust, commitment, accountability and attention to results 5. Understand the importance of time management and how it impacts on the practice 6. Measurement of performance gives us the tools to make good decisions when it comes to the management of the practice 7. The development of a passionate, motivated and effi cient team leads to practice growth, profi tability and emotional fulfi llment for everyone in the practice.

Afternoon Session: Strategies for Practice Growth and Treatment Acceptance Dentistry and the people we care for are very different than they used to be. Patients now come to us because they understand that we can truly make a difference in their lives. Whether it is improving their ability to function at a higher level at work by eliminating the distraction of pain, increasing their enjoyment of life by eliminating dysfunction, or increasing their self-esteem and social impact by improving their appearance, we must understand that our purpose is greater than fi xing teeth. When patients have a higher perceived value of what we can do for them they are more receptive to considering cosmetic and comprehensive care. This session will review the total patient experience beginning with the initial phone call and initial visit. Practice growth and success is dependent on creating a relationship, developing understanding and creating a partnership with the patient in their care. When this occurs patients eagerly accept more of the care they need and refer others to our offi ces. Learn: 1. Patients no longer come to our offi ces for us to “fi x their teeth”. 2. Patients want to believe that we can make a difference in their lives 3. The importance of relationships and understanding cannot be understated in raising the perceived value of care 4. Exceeding patient expectations inspires trust and confi dence 5. We should focus less on the “chief complaint” and more on how dental conditions effect our patients’ lives 6. Verbal skills to counter patients’ apparent objections to treatment 7. Hygiene can contribute to practice profi tability by building emotional desire for comprehensive and cosmetic dentistry 8. Patients who believe us, like us and trust us are more likely to make decisions about care independent of insurance restrictions. 9. It is important to incorporate and embrace technology to achieve practice growth 10. There are many ways to improve the promotion of our practices in the rapidly expanding digital environment Lecture Recommended for: Dentists, Hygienists, Admin Team and Clinical Assistants

CARLOS ALFONSO, DDS, MS, FACP, FAAID, DABOI, DICOI SPANISH SPEAKING COURSE - Full-arch Rehabilitation Utilizing Tilted Implants from a Surgical & Prosthetic Perspective / Rehabilitación del Arco Completo Utilizando Implantes inclinados desde una perspectiva quirúrgica y protésica Synopsis: Full-arch rehabilitation with dental implants in edentulous patients or with compromised remaining teeth is a highly predictable treatment. Three-dimensional position of the implants, as well as bone reduction, are crucial points for treatment success. Therefore, tilted implants must be designed minimizing the extent of cantilever and avoiding the commitment of the maxillary sinus and inferior alveolar nerve. The hybrid prosthesis is the most common type of prosthesis used in this kind of treatment and minimum space is required to allocate for the prosthetic abutment, the metallic framework, and the teeth. This training aims to demonstrate the need for bone reduction, proper implant placement, proper selection of straight and/or angled abutments, and the conversion of a denture over titanium copings.

La rehabilitación de toda la arcada con implantes dentales en pacientes totalmente edentulo o parcialmente edentulo, es un tratamiento altamente predecible. La Posición tridimensional de los implantes, así como la reducción de hueso, son puntos cruciales para el éxito del tratamiento. Por lo tanto, implantes inclinados deben ser diseñados para minimizar la distancia del canteliver y evitar el compromiso del seno maxilar y el nervio dentario inferior. La prótesis híbrida es el tipo más común de prótesis utilizada en este tipo de tratamiento y el espacio mínimo que se requiere asignar para el pilar protésico, el marco metálico, y los dientes. Esta presentacion pretende demonstrar la necesidad de reducción de hueso, la colocación de los implantes adecuados, la selección adecuada de los pilares rectos y / o en ángulo, y la conversión de la Dentadura sobre los copings de titanió.
