Lecture Topics
Dr. Flucke lectures on a variety of topics, some of which are listed below. However, if you would like to discuss other topics, please send your information on the Contact Us page.
Technologies That Improve Your Practice Now!
Dr. Flucke spends a great deal of his time researching and then trying new and cutting edge technologies. This gives him the unique perspective that comes from someone who is a researcher as well as a clinician. This perspective allows him to provide not only ‘the how’ of the technologies, but also the ‘why’. His clinical usage provides him with information that practicing dentists can take back to their practices and use with the comfort that they not only know the benefits of leading edge techniques and devices, but also their limitations.
Not all technology is expensive and difficult to use. This course covers devices and techniques that can allow the attendee to implement these amazing benefits for their best usage. You will leave this course with a greater understanding of implementation and usage of devices and techniques that will allow you create better patient outcomes, increase efficiency, and decrease
office stress.
Usage of clinical Lasers - Science & Substance
The clinical usage of lasers is growing at a rapid rate, yet many doctors still don’t use them or use them in limited applications.
Dr. Flucke has been using and providing clinical training of laser usage since 1998 and he has extensive experience with their use and applications.
This course explains the science behind the lasers that seen are seen most often in the profession. If you have been on the fence about which system is right for you, this course will teach you what the different systems do and how they do it. This will allow novice doctors to know which laser system is right for them and the correct techniques for success and procedures they can perform.
By understanding the science of why and how these different laser systems work, doctors already owning a laser can then use them in more applications while being confident of the proper procedures and techniques to get the most out of your system.
There's No D Like 3D - Designing Patient Outcomes from Every Axis
Dentistry is seeing a huge surge in utilizing 3D systems. CBCT, intraoral scanners, in-office CAD/CAM and milling, as well as 3D printing are becoming more and more common. Implementing these systems allows doctors, for the first time in history, to have a totally digital workflow. These systems can provide stunning and predictable clinical results.
However, confusion abounds about the whole subject of 3D and how these systems can work together to make the office more efficient while also reducing office expenses and lab bills. By implementing these totally digital workflows into his own practice, Dr. Flucke has learned the advantages as well as the mistakes to avoid that every dentist needs to know before embarking on this journey.
Attending this course will give a doctor the information that they need to use any 3D system to its fullest. The path to success can be easy by learning the correct way to implement and use 3D technologies. By his extensive use of these technologies, Dr. Flucke will teach you the right techniques and procedures to use while avoiding the mistakes and misconceptions that abound in this leading edge technology.
High Tech Caries Diagnosis
One of the first things a doctor learns in school is how to use an explorer… but is it currently the best way to perform clinical diagnosis? There are many systems on the market that an office can incorporate that will allow doctors to find decay at its earliest stages. These systems can help the doctor and team locate areas that an explorer will miss.
Dr. Flucke will discuss the current science behind caries and why we should be looking at things in a different way than when we were trained. Communicating our findings with our patients is critical to allow them to understand their clinical situation. Better informed doctors can better inform their patients, and better informed patients make better decisions about the care we suggest.
Implementing digital caries diagnosis can improve clinical outcomes while also increasing efficiency and decreasing stress. No matter the office philosophy, you will leave this course with a knowledge base that will help you feel more confident about your diagnostic abilities while also providing the very best care for your patients.
