Today’s books and programs on “emotional intelligence” fail to address half of the problem…how we feel about people and things. If you or somebody else is engaging in nonsense, no logic or intelligence is going to solve it. Because that’s not what created it! The 40||40 Solution is your unique guide to Mastering Emotional Energy! It is the solution to ending painful and destructive dramas, whether in the boardroom, coaching session, sales meeting, at home, or in conversations with yourself. Unlike most emotional intelligence programs that focus on thinking your way through emotional problems, this book helps you learn how to feel your way through them. So that you can feel good about yourself afterward. When you learn The 40||40 Solution, you will be able to slay dragons, conquer fears, be a leader, sell more, share success and be happy, all without having to self-sacrifice, exhaust yourself, or be out of balance.

Eye tracking technology was adapted to qualitatively observe how endodontists and endodontic residents interpret limited field of view CBCT volumes.  

Objectives:  

• Review themes and challenges in medical volumetric radiography interpretation  

• Describe how eye tracking can be used to study endodontists' interpretation strategies of limited field of view CBCT volumes  

• Report the results of a pilot study  

• Make suggestions for how eye tracking can be used to improve endodontists' CBCT interpretation strategies and best practices.

As endodontists we often perform endodontic access through an existing crown. Restoring the access proficiently and esthetically can be performed predictably. Management of the occlusion is also critically important to providing a symptom-free tooth. 

Objectives:  

• Restore the endodontic access in methodical manner. 

• Achieve an esthetic access closure. 

• Manage occlusion. 

Expect to Learn: 

• Restore the endodontic access in methodical manner. 

• Achieve an esthetic access closure. 

• Manage occlusion. 

Most graduating endodontic residents want to create a prosperous practice and achieve long-term, successful treatment outcomes for their patients. Establishing this type of practice and realizing these types of treatment outcomes takes trial, error, and a determination to provide superior treatment and service. After almost 10 years of private practice, I have found a handful of strategies that have helped me achieve a busy schedule, avert certain types of treatment failure, and sustain a high level of satisfaction in my chosen profession. 

Objectives:  

• Identify practice policies/strategies that can facilitate the maintenance of a “full schedule.”  

• Describe strategies that will develop a healthy relationship between the restorative-minded endodontist and the referring doctor.  

• Recognize that completing the permanent endodontic restoration immediately following obturation helps to avoid a whole class of preventable failures.  

• Recognize that creating a successful, patient-centered, referral-based practice demands patience, determination, persuasiveness, and accountability.

Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics is a continuously evolving field. It's potential for enhancing dentin conservation and efficiency during preparation of the endodontic access cavity has been investigated in the past few years. This presentation will focus on the latest technological advancements and techniques in Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics. 

Objectives:  

• Describing the principles of Dynamic Navigation for Endodontic access cavity.  

• Describing the very latest technological advancements of Dynamic Navigation. 

• Describing a novel surgical operating microscope technology that enhances the ergonomics of Dynamic Navigation in Endodontics. 

Expect to Learn: 

• How Dynamic Navigation works.  

• The latest technological advancements and techniques of Dynamic Navigation in non-surgical Endodontics.  

• Novel Surgical Operating Microscope Head-Up Display for enhanced ergonomics during Endodontic access cavity procedures using Dynamic Navigation. 

Despite the fact that most of the countries in the European union and United States have a free economic exchange relationship in terms of equipment, materials and instruments and have the ability to own them, some countries due to certain regulations and law not only prohibit their shipment and application in clinical dentistry (due to certification and registration process) but also control and regulate office design with requirements such as size of the operatory and obligatory presence of useless equipment such as dental chair light or cuspidor. Besides that, endodontics has never been a separate specialty nor it has ever been recognized as a specialty in some countries that is why most of the multigroup practices prefer to have their own endodontist in-house rather than to refer the patient out. Having said that it is also tough to be exclusively limited only to a root canal treatment-oriented practice and be financially successful. In our presentation we will try to cover the topic on how not to be afraid to run a small separate endodontic specialty practice providing not only an effective patient-oriented treatment but also to be financially successful in tough economic and government regulation environment. 

Objectives:  

• How to abide the law and build a TDO ergonomic office design in a tough regulation environment 

• Transitioning from "what was comfortable" to "what is really optimal"  

• Teaching and interacting dental assistants in a dramatically new office design  

• Communication with Dental referrals and dentist education  

• Conventional and surgical endodontics in the new era of root canal therapy via application of TDO ergonomic principles 

Expect to Learn: 

• Tips and tricks in the new office design 
• Preparation of dental assistants 
• Effective application of chair-side operating microscope 
• Clinical tips for the residents and seasoned clinicians in conventional and microsurgical endodontics
