The Five Dimensions of Tongue Tie
Presenter: Shirley Gutkowski, RDH, BSDH CE Supporter: VOCO America
A revolution has been occurring and it has some people pretty uncomfortable. In school we learned of ankyloglossia, the pictures showed a tongue that was completely tethered to the floor of the mouth. We were taught that if the patient can talk and eat there's no reason to "clip it." At the dawn of time infants who couldn't nurse because of ankyloglossia were left to perish. Those were brutal times! Since infant formula and bottles are so easy to use and children are nice and round, releasing ties has been relegated to the elective surgery discussions. What if that's wrong? Why is that wrong? The question of why that's wrong has been the life's work of Dr. Sarouch Zaghi. He is a protege of Dr. Christian Guilleminault, the father of sleep apnea who boldly set out to show that sleep apnea in non-obese children was a function of improper facial growth, lead by a lack of tongue mobility. Dr. Guilleminault set Dr. Zaghi onto the missing link in all of sleep architecture, the tongue. Today we know of new ways to actually measure the mobility of the tongue, when, why, and how to release the tongue and how important orofacial myofunctional therapy is to all of sleep, with or without a functional release.

Life Behind Bars: How to Identify a Biomimetic / Supercomposite
Presenter: Mr. Gregor Connell CE Supporter: VOCO America
The goal of every composite restorative material developed by manufacturers, is to become the synthetic restorative that best mimics natural tooth structure and be the most Biomimetic available. Materials can claim to be the “best” in one or more performance categories or testing protocols. However, the best material theoretically - will be the one that is “best” in the greatest number of those testing categories or properties. This CE webinar will detail and analyze the various “key” testing protocols used in manufacturing for the testing of composite materials. We will then explain the in-vivo, clinical value, of those tests and associated bar graphs. Additionally, we will discuss how these various performance indicators, impact the long-term marginal integrity of restorations.
