"Latex Allergies"
Upon completion of this course, the participant should understand that virtually every chemical, drug and dental material employed in the dental office has been known to induce allergic reactions in both clinical personnel and patients, that certain allergic reactions are directly observable in the oro-faciai tissues and that practitioners will be treating patients who may suffer from allergic conditions. The clinician should be prepared for the potential hazards these individuals present during dental treatment. Comprehension of the classes of hypersensitive reactions, clinical manifestations, and principles associated with development and treatment of allergies are thus required for the effective management of patients. Discussion will also include immunilogical mechanisms and manifestations of allergic reactions associated with latex products, as well as evolving prevention strategies. This discussion will consider the multi-faceted aspects of clinical hypersensitivity reactions, and the participants should be able to apply the principles discussed to clinical situations and patient histories encountered.

"How Orthognathic Surgery can Benefit the General Dental Practice."
Orthognathic Surgery has become a predictable and common treatment modality for patients with a severe dentofacial deformity. Orthognathic surgical procedures can also be used to improve less extensive discrepancies in ridge relationship and tooth position in preparation for dental restoration. Often, a minor surgical procedure can greatly simplify a restorative treatment-plan and improve the long term prognosis of the planned restoration. During this presentation the indications for orthognathic surgery and commonly employed procedures will be discussed and illustrated with case examples. Special attention will be given to cases which benefited patients of the general dental practice.

STAFF NIGHT - A Deserving Tribute
As we gather this month to honor our respective staffs for their
contribution to our success, we should reflect on how each separate
staff person is so vital to the practice as a whole. Any practitioner
who forgets the vital function of a staffperson is clearly reminded
of it when he/she calls in sick and we are left to perform his/her
functions on top of our treatment duties.
In an age where loyalty to an employer in the marketplace is becoming
nonexistent, many of us are blessed with employees who will go
to the end of the earth for us because they believe in us and
we have made them feel a vital part of our business. For these
staff members who show unyielding loyalty to us during inevitable
hard times, this night of tribute is deserving. As our practices
are extentions of ourselves, so too are our staffs extensions
of our families. There is no doubt that they see sides of us only
our immediate family members know about.
We hope that you make every effort to honor your staffs by attending
this special event.
Dr. John Molinari
