Under the direction of Ann Marie Estes, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry is designated a nationally approved sponsor by the Academy of General Dentistry. The formal continuing education programs of this sponsor are accepted by AGD for Fellowship, Mastership, and membership maintenance credit. The current term of acceptance extends from January 2000 to December 2005. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry is designated as a recognized provider by the Continuing Education Recognition Program (CERP) conducted under the auspices of American Dental Association.

Some presentations may include controversial material or commercial reference. Please be aware that the presentation of such course material should not be considered as an endorsement or approval of a particular philosophy, product, or procedure. Courses presented are acceptable by those states that recognize the ADA (CERP) and AGD approved providers.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry in association with Paradise Vacation and Travel Co., Inc. of Austin, Texas are offering these series of continuing education seminars at sea. Due to the past response and demand for inclusion in prior seminars, it is extremely important to register early with a completed application and a deposit as some seminars are limited to the number of attendees. Inclusion in each seminar is only possible with the associated cruise offered by Paradise Vacation and Travel Co. Friends, family and associates who are not taking seminars are welcomed and encouraged to participate in any offered sailing.

The calendar of 2005 Continuing Education Seminars at Sea has been designed to assist dental personnel in selecting courses needed to remain abreast of professional developments.

Publications in recent years have improved our understanding of the cardinal factors involved in the etiology of periodontal diseases. The clinical manifestation of these infections vary from individual to individual and modulate by risk factors. These susceptibility factors affect prognosis and treatment outcomes. While some of them such as gender and genetics cannot be changed, other factors that are related to lifestyle could be changed. This course will cover the current trends in periodontal care in the following areas: etiology of periodontal diseases, periodontal regeneration, aesthetic crown lengthening and reconstruction of the lost papilla. Also, the latest information antimicrobial, antiplaque agents, local delivery systems and anti-inflammatory medications will be presented. The interaction between the health status of the periodontium and the overall wellness of the patient will be discussed.

The per person cruise cost is based on double occupancy (that is two people sharing one cabin) and we welcome companions who are not taking the seminars. The seminar fee includes educational instruction as well as any course materials. All seminar participants must arrive early at the designated seminar location to sign in for that day’s course.
