New edition of Dental Continuing Education Digest released

CE Digest April 22, 2008

PennWell Corporation and The Academy of Dental Therapeutics and Stomatology released a new edition of the Dental Continuing Education Digest. The CE Digest is the only "all CE" publication in the dental market.

This issue includes three courses, one each on orthodontics, patient compliance and ergonomics. The orthodontic course is Part II on Early Interceptive Orthodontics. Part I was featured in our March 2008 CE Digest and is also available on the Web at I Need CE. The ergonomics course contains information on the frequency of work-related injuries among dentists and dental hygienists and provides a review of ergonomic aids available and how these should be selected and used, including sections on seating and magnification aids. Lastly, the compliance course addresses the causes of patient noncompliance, communication and behavioral methods that can be used to address this problem, and home care regimens that may help improve oral care and patient compliance.

Key words: orthodontic, early treatment, patient compliance, hygiene, brushing, ergonomics, injuries, spine, magnification, light, positioning.

This publication and other continuing education topics can be found at I Need CE.
