His music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, and all of the regular streaming sites. Among his other achievements, Rich’s book “Is Your Frog Boiling” was an amazon.com bestseller, and he has traveled to 56 countries. 

Dr. DiTolla was in private practice for 15 years before becoming Director of Clinical Education for Glidewell Labs for the next 15 years and led the clinical team that developed and brought BruxZir Solid Zirconia to market.  In 2011 he received the "Most Effective Dentist Educator" award in a nationwide survey of dentists. He recently received the Gordon J. Christensen Award Distinguished Speaking from the Chicago Dental Society. His online educational videos have over 16 million views on YouTube. He currently maintains a private practice in Lodi, California. 

The treatment planning of complex cases requires the highest level of knowledge and skill of the treating team. It is an orchestration of procedures including proper sequencing and timing that makes the difference. An

envisionment of the final case before starting is required to know where the goal of treatment will be directed. This, in conjunction with the patients needs and clinical situation comprise the decision-making process for what is the best

treatment for the patient. Problems facing the team such as: · Which teeth to save or extract? · Should implants be placed immediately or in a delayed protocol? · Should multiple implants be placed in the aesthetic zone? · When and how to include orthodontics if needed for sight development · Should pink ceramic be used or should ridge augmentation be performed? · Should the case be splinted or broken up into separate bridges or individual teeth? · How to provisionalize the case throughout treatment · When to immediate load cases versus do a serial extraction case. These concerns will be addressed in this interdisciplinary approach to our most  challenging cases.

AND:

Immediate placements of implants into extraction sockets is an exciting treatment alternative for our patients. However, there are many potential short and particularly long term risks which the practitioner must be fully aware of. This presentation will focus on the potential problems and benefits both clinically and biologically when the choice of immediate socket placement is made for single and multiple sites. Upon completion of this presentation

participants should be able to · Identify what type of healing takes place against the implant in immediate socket placement · Know how to minimize recession

with immediate provisionalization · Know the proper crown contour for immediate provisionals · Know if the gap distance really matters · Know if primary closure should be attempted or should it be left open · Know if membranes should be utilized · Know what type of graft material if any should be utilized · Identify what are the potential short and long term risks involved with immediate placement of implants.

Dentistry is changing faster today than anytime in modern history. The role of the monolithic restorations, Universal Adhesives, and digital, needs to be understood and implemented in every dental practice. As a practicing clinician and as the Director of Education and Technology at Utah Valley Dental Lab, Dr. David Hornbook has a very unique perspective of these changes in what he has coined “living on both sides of the Bench”. With a practice focused on metal-free, all-ceramic Aesthetic based dentistry, Dr. Hornbrook understands the importance of predictability, ease of use, and long term success when deciding which restorative material and cementation option will provide the best results. As the Director of Technology at a State-of-the-Art Dental Lab, his day to day interaction with ceramists and other clinicians provides him a thorough understanding of the problems both these groups face and how they are overcoming challenges and benefitting from CAD:CAM, Digital Wax-ups and Design, and high strength, aesthetic ceramic materials.

Dr. Hornbrook discusses:

• Esthetic, monolithic ceramics and when to use what.

• Deciphering the new dentinal adhesive agents and how can we combine ease-of-use with long-term predictability.

• When to adhesively “bond” and when we can use “Luting” agents and what’s available.

• PMMA long-term provisionals and how they are used to

provisionalize implant sites and help sequence Full Mouth Rehabilitations.

• Bio-stimulating cements: how and when they can and should be used.

• Achieving highly Aesthetic anterior Implant results using the “H” Abutment.

• New changes in implant designs that allow for Screw-Retained Implant crowns where traditional designs made this impossible.

• The new milling machines for ZrO2, Lithium Disilicate and resins, to yield more accurate and detailed restorations.

• Use of a computer-assisted-anesthetic delivery device to limit the amount of anesthesia used and allows for evaluation of Smile Designs with full lip mobility

• And much more!
