Professor Karen A. Baker has been on the Dental College faculty at the University of Iowa for 25 years and occupies a unique role in dental practice and education. She is a clinical pharmacologist with a master’s degree in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics and is focused on patient-specific dental drug therapy. She has given over 700 programs nationally and internationally and holds memberships in the American Dental Association, the American Dental Education Association, the American Pharmaceutical Association, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy and the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society. Ms Baker is on the editorial board of the Journal of the Academy of the Academy of General Dentistry. She directs the operation of an in-house pharmacy and drug consultation center which serves dental students, staff, faculty and patients every clinic day. She has authored more than 50 articles and abstracts. Her current research involves risks of dental therapy in medically complex patients.
Crown and bridge impression making using elastomeric materials is an unpleasant process for many patients. Not only can it be uncomfortable to the patient but, it often causes anxiety for both the patient and the dentist. The process can work well, however, too often, impressions received by dental laboratories lack critical detail. This causes restorations lacking accurate fit and excessive adjustment or remakes. Fortunately, dentistry can now benefit from digital imaging technologies perfected in other industries. The world leader in traditional impression materials, 3M ESPE has incorporated this technology to provide a comprehensive digital solutions continuum, beginning in the dental office and continuing through the dental laboratory process. This creates a “digital workflow” which benefits dentists, dental laboratories and patients.
The Lava Chairside Oral Scanner, introduced to selected markets in 2008-2009, captures impressions using “3D-in-motion” digital data. In addition to being more comfortable for the patient than a tray loaded with impression die-cutting and trimming models. All of these steps cause variability that can reduce treatment success. Further, a digital impression remains a permanent record that can be retrieved with the same accuracy at virtually any time in the future as the day that it was originally created. The captured digital impression provides instantaneous evaluation and the ability to be used as a communication vehicle for the case/preparation design assessment with a laboratory technician. Once transmitted, the information fits ideally into the digital workflow of the dental laboratory and helps optimize results for a variety of laboratory restorations.
The learning objectives for this course are:
- Understanding factors impacting traditional impression making
- Understanding the new technology of digital impressions
- Understanding how digital impressions complement traditional impressions
- Observe demonstration of the digital impression process
- Creatively identify how digital impressions can support interdisciplinary treatment planning

“Turning Back the Biological Clock: How to Up-Regulate Metabolism, Conquer Weight, Avoid Losing Muscle Mass, Clean up Body Chemistry & Exercise Smart & Efficiently.”
This presentation is designed to provide a better understanding of the metabolic pathways that lead to improved body composition and ‘real wellness.’ Metabolic down-regulation is a normal result of aging. Science has shown that the average American is losing 30-50% of their muscle between the ages of 30 to 80. This degradation of our ability to adequately process the calories we ingest, leads to conditions like: type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, increased systemic inflammation, digestion disorders, heart disease and doubles our risk of acquiring cancer.
The only answer to permanent fat loss is the up-regulation of metabolic rate. Lean muscle mass is the only metabolically active tissue in the body. Any gain of lean mass causes an up-regulation of metabolic rate and additional fat oxidation. In other words, a person must have a metabolism “fast enough” to burn fat and calories. Key elements from the literature incorporated into a ‘real world’ environment provide a protocol for long-term adherence. The effects of energy through put and food attitude patterns in response to food choice, amount and combination while following a strength training and aerobic exercise program provide this objective.
Presentation Goals & Objectives
Reveal the pitfalls of traditional ‘dieting’. Present the key components of metabolic up-regulation through the effects of energy through put and food attitude patterns in response to food choice, amount and combination while incorporating strength training and aerobic exercise
Integration of eating the right foods in the right combinations at the right times of day and exercising smart and efficiently along with ‘lab based’ supplementation protocols supporting significant body chemistry change.
Receive a clearer understanding of the key components involved in metabolic up-regulation. Identify the physiological and nutritional elements surrounding lean mass gain and fat oxidation.
Change body chemistry by blending a metabolic up-regulating and hormonally balanced eating program with a smart and efficient exercise program. Thus providing a lifelong wellness program supporting a healthy middle age body protection from health disasters associated with aging.

An architectural plan for creating ideal implant esthetics: a blueprint for success
Synopsis:
Conventional concepts in aesthetic restorative treatment generally focus on establishing ideal tooth form and colour. Often overlooked is the challenging interplay with the surrounding gingival framework. An understanding of how to treat and enhance tissue form in conjunction with conventional restorative and implant treatment is a crucial element to a highly successful aesthetic result.
Objectives:
This course will emphasize strategies to idealize the aesthetic outcome of treatment from surgery to case completion.
• Fundamentals of implant placement and restoration; focusing on the unique requirements of the partially edentulous patient.
• Hard tissue regeneration … what is realistic?
• Atraumatic extraction techniques, immediate implant placement, flapless and guided implant surgery.
• Improving hard and soft tissue stability through implant design and abutment timing.
• Implant positioning: the critical impact on aesthetic success.
• Soft tissue management to ensure long-term tissue stability.
• Provisionalization: Fine tuning the soft tissue form. Easily implemented techniques:
-Pontic site development and implant site development.
-Chair-side provisionalization strategies.
-Final abutments placed at the time of surgery.
• Techniques to transfer accurate information to the laboratory about soft tissue form around implants.
• Optimizing gingival tissue health and aesthetics: zirconia abutments and all-ceramic restorations.
• The inter-implant papilla: the persisting challenge of side-by-side implants.

“Reaching Your Restorative Potential Through Periodontics”
This course will emphasize the TEAM approach in treating comprehensive periodontal and restorative cases. Biologic shaping of the teeth simplifies the restorative phase of treatment and provides long term periodontal health. All aspects of diagnosis and treatment will be covered. You will be able to take home information learned and apply to your patients. All information will be clinical in nature and easily understood. Simple yet perfect is the take home message.
