Tax-based Financial Planning for the Modern Dental Practice

   
Mr. Mark O’Farrell, BA, CFP, CLU, CHFC, TEP
Mark O’Farrell founded Strategic Edge to help dentists who pay too much tax. He has given more than a hundred seminars to dentists from Vancouver to St. John’s and from Juneau to Palm Springs, for dental societies and major dentistry suppliers. Using a tax-based approach, he can achieve outstanding results with conservative projections, and provides free fi nancial practice analysis to all dentists in Canada. Mark believes that if you provide the education and relevant information with full disclosure, dentists can make their own well informed decisions. Strategic Edge does not replace existing relationships with accountants, lawyers or other advisors.

Extraction & Immediate Implant Placement Bone Augmentation - The Next Generation Special Aseptic Considerations

Among the great challenges facing clinical research is the development of bioactive surgical additives regulating infl ammation and increasing healing. Indeed, after each intervention, surgeons must face complex tissue remodelling phenomena and the consequences on healing and tissue survival. Every extraction is now an opportunity to prevent adjacent periodontal ligament damage and bone necrosis. Special aseptic considerations will be discussed as related to Implantology and sterilization including new advances in measurement and tracking with Instant read-out Class V integrators and RFID instrument trackers that will reduce exposure risks both biologically and legally. Dean Swift will examine the new vacuum Class B machines that are blossoming in the marketplace. Material presented will be a benefi t for the entire staff.
