Pursue your passion
Learn outside
the lines via a variety
of educational
sessions here in D.C.

Composer Eric Whitacre during Friday morning’s General Session. Whitacre completed his first concert work at the age of
21. His Virtual Choir 2.0 Sleep, released last April, includes more than 2,000 voices from 58 countries. (Photo/Provided by the

n So what have you learned thus
far? Have you attended lectures and
hands-on workshops?
Thursday and Friday’s lectures
ranged from topics such as cosmetic dentistry principles (Drs. Cranham, Dawson and Finlay), implants
(Drs. Coachman and Van Dooren),
minimally invasive dentistry (Dr.
Milicich), business staff communication (Dr. Homoly) and hygiene (Stephanie Lodding, RDH).
Friday’s keynote speaker and composer, Eric Whitacre, was brought
in to encourage AACD members to
pursue their own passions. Whitacre
completed his first concert work, “Go,
Lovely, Rose,” at the age of 21. He
studied at the Juilliard School (New

The exhibit hall has a variety
of companies that run the gamut of
products and services — from Philips
Sonicare to Nobel Biocare to Garrison
and LK Dental Studio — so you’re sure
to find exactly what you need.
Did you miss making some Black
Friday purchases yesterday on the
exhibit hall floor?
Well, if you did, you haven’t completely missed the boat because there
is still that blue coupon book we told
you about yesterday (it’s in the yellow
envelope you received at registration).

York), earned his master of music
degree and studied with Pulitzer
Prize and Oscar-winning composer
John Corigliano.
Whitacre is probably best known
for “Virtual Choir 2.0 Sleep,” released
last April, a musical piece that uses
more than 2,000 voices from 58
countries. His accomplishments demonstrate how thinking outside the
norm can produce amazing results.
Whitacre aimed to inspire attendees
through music.
Thursday and Friday’s hands-on
workshops got down to business with
overdenture implants (Dr. Leopardi),
composites (Drs. Jackson and Weston)
and diastema closure (Dr. Peck). If you
had an eagle eye while cruising the
halls of the Gaylord National Hotel,
you could spot many of the lecturers
just doing their thing among the rest
of us simple folks.
On Friday morning, Dr. Milnar
stopped to answer an attendee’s question as they passed each other in the
breakfast area. We also spotted Dr.
Misch passing through a hall on the
way to his lecture room, and he kindly
stopped for a photo (his lecture was
standing room only).
If you looked and listened, you
could hear old friends catching up
with one another, such as Dr. Zase and
Dr. Berland, who stopped for a congenial photo opportunity.
In the afternoon, Berland’s handson workshop, “Thin is in: The No Fear
Veneer to Create Predictable, Simple, Artistic, Exquisite and Naturally
Beautiful Smiles,” had 15 or so people
sitting or standing at the back, as
participation attendance was limited
to 50 persons.

other dental professionals have volunteered their time and expertise to
restore the damaged smiles of more

of more than $12 million.
Even if you don’t think you can
spare the time to volunteer, we bet
there is an item for sale in the auction
that you might appreciate owning or
gifting to a friend or family member.
You have until 1 p.m. today to bid on
a plethora of items from autographed
Hollywood or sports memorabilia to
dental equipment.

Palodent Plus
Palodent® Plus is the newest sectional matrix
system from DENTSPLY Caulk. It offers wide applications for sectional matrix system use and delivers predictable, accurate contacts consistently.
This new system includes a molar and pre-molar
ring, four different size matrices and new wedges
and WedgeGuards. The rings offer consistent separation force and are made of nickel titanium, which
ensures they will last longer than traditional
stainless-steel rings. The tines on the rings help to
provide retention on the tooth, and the system seals
the restoration to minimize the amount of finishing
required.
For more information, visit www.palodentplus.
com, call (800) 532-2855 or stop by the DENTSPLY
Caulk booth No. 710, here at the AACD Annual
Session.

Pack up the family
and head to IACA

n The IACA has become the premier
educational meeting in dentistry and,
by far, the best meeting I personally
have ever attended. And I hear that
from almost every speaker that has
presented at the IACA as well.
It’s not just the outstanding speakers, cutting edge presentations or
the diversity of concurrent lectures,
which are critical so that everyone

(team, hygienists, doctors and technicians) has something to see that they
are interested in during every time
slot. In reality, it’s “The Event”; the
positive attitude of those in attendance and the enthusiasm of everyone
involved. It is infectious!
People have commented that they
almost learn as much in the halls as
they do in the lectures because of the
quality of the attendees.
The IACA is one of the few places
that you can see the giants of dentistry present as well as up-andcomers who may someday be the
giants of dentistry for their generation of dentists. Many of the best
presentations are given by people
you won’t see anywhere else because
they don’t fall into the “status quo” of
accepted topics or information.
Many meetings actively prevent
controversial advances in dentistry
from being presented, denying you
the chance to make your own decisions. I guess the easiest way to put it
is that the IACA is 10 years ahead of
current dentistry.
Literally, what you will hear is the
“future” of dentistry and those that
jump on the train early will be light
years ahead of other dentists in the
field who only attend other meetings.
Lastly, the other thing I think is so
wonderful about the meeting is the
“family atmosphere” that is present.
They seem to always pick great locations for dentists to bring their families with them for a vacation. Hollywood, Fla., is filled with so much for
people of all ages to do, not to mention
the perfect weather.
This is a great way to not only write
off your vacation but get the best of
both worlds -- a great vacation and a
great education. Don’t be one of those
people that every year after missing
the IACA meeting and finding out
how incredible it was from those that
did attend, say; “I wish I would have
gone!”
I’m looking forward to seeing you
at the IACA!

See the AACD’s
best in Seattle
n The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) is giving
a whole new meaning to “Seattle’s
Best.”
After two years on the East Coast,
the AACD will host the 29th Annual
Scientific Session in Seattle April
24–27, 2013. The session already has a
promising lineup of educators, workshops and social events guaranteed to
educate, connect and inspire attendees.
“Seattle will build off of this year’s
successes in D.C. by offering more
live education and workshops that
are guaranteed to do more than just
give them new skills,” said incoming
AACD President Ron Goodlin. “It’s
an experience that will constantly
remind them that they chose an amazing field to practice in and make them
even more excited about helping their
patients.”
Headliners for the event include:
• Betsy Bakeman, DDS
• David Garber, DMD
• John Kois, DMD
• Jacinthe Paquette, DDS
• Maurice Salama, DMD
• Cherilyn Sheets, DDS
• Frank Spear, DDS
Notable course topics include whitening, posterior aesthetics, implant
removables, single tooth peri-implant
esthetics and interdisciplinary dentistry.
While the AACD is changing its
coastal location for the 29th Annual
Scientific Session, attendees should
not expect the quality of education
to change.
“Seattle is going to have a great
vibe,” Goodlin said.
“After two great meetings in D.C.
and Boston, we’re expecting that a
lot of our members will join us out
west. We’re really excited about all
of the great education, camaraderie
and networking we can offer them
in a dynamic city everyone is going
to love.”
The AACD will host its session
at the Washington State Convention
Center, which is located in the heart
of downtown Seattle and within walking distance of many restaurants and
shops.
More information about lodging,
travel and courses will be posted soon
on the AACD website. All interested
attendees are encouraged to register
for the session today for a $300 discount on tuition.
Those who register today also will
have the opportunity to select their
courses before regular registrants,
giving them more options and a better chance of securing seats in some
of the AACD’s “most-wanted” workshops and lectures.
Register for AACD 2013
The 2013 AACD will take place from
April 24–27. Attendees are encouraged
to register today for next year’s session
for a $300 discount on tuition. In addition, anyone who registers today will
also have the opportunity to select
their courses before other registrants.
