Week in Review: CDA Presents 2016; evolution of restoratives; HIPAA and your practice

Dear DrBicuspid Member,

ANAHEIM, CA - A busy first day at the California Dental Association's CDA Presents 2016 meeting saw dozens of clinical and practice management speakers, as well as a number of companies offering new or updated products. See our slideshow for some highlights from the meeting.

Ask any practice that has received a call about a HIPAA investigation if the time and money they spent on compliance with the law was enough. HIPAA privacy expert Amy Wood, one of the many speakers at CDA Presents 2016, discussed the topic of HIPAA compliance, focusing on why dental offices spend so little on security and information technology.

The evolution of restorative dental technologies, materials, and imaging is more than just a history of drilling and filling, according to Dr. Douglas M. Schulz. With new materials and technology have come changes in practice time management, patient convenience, and marketing opportunities. Read more here.

Dr. Timothy Kosinski illustrates techniques that can make crown removal, extraction, and grafting more reliable and efficient. In part one of his series, he discusses his treatment philosophy and crown removal.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of covering CDA Presents is getting to spend some time with people making a difference in dentistry. Whether it's thoughtful speakers, innovative clinicians, or companies pushing the envelope, people are working to solve the many issues facing the profession. Our coverage of CDA Presents 2016 will continue into next week.
