Masters’ Week is a unique learning experience each and every year where we bring together a group of talented speakers to share on a range of topics. Our four day program will feature 4 phenomenal clinicians and educators presenting four incredible topics. In classic Pankey style the experience, education and community will make this a program not to be missed. Master’s Week has a special place in the hearts and minds of many Pankey Alumni. This is an incredible program led by some of the greatest educators in dentistry. Join us in the pursuit of excellence in mastering some of the latest topics in dentistry.

Meet The Presenters
DAY 1 – Robert Winter, DDS
Outcome-Based Treatment: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Patient-Centered Outcomes
A comprehensive assessment establishing the diagnosis and development of the treatment plan, including possible alternatives, is essential to achieving an outcome that develops appropriate occlusion and function, and meets the esthetic expectations of the patient.
A facially generated treatment-planning model will be presented. This model will be used to guide the development of the treatment plan and determine the procedures necessary to meet the desired outcomes of the case.
Preservation of tooth structure should be the primary goal when restoring natural teeth. Understanding the esthetic expectation of the patient and the functional stresses that will be placed on the restorative material are paramount in establishing a predictable and long-term outcome. Clinical techniques and material options will be presented for indirect restorations to accomplish treatment goals and achieve patient-centered outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
-Make a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan to achieve patient-centered outcomes.
-Learn how to analyze wear patterns on teeth and design the appropriate occlusal scheme to meet the functional and esthetic expectations of the patient.
-Considerations in tooth preparation design and material selection to achieve long-term durability and esthetic restorations.
DAY 2 – Edward Allen, DDS, PhD
Enhancing Esthetic Dentistry with Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Gingival level and form are important considerations in esthetic dentistry because they affect the appearance of tooth form. Therefore, evaluation and correction of soft tissue abnormalities are important components of interdisciplinary therapy and contribute to the successful outcome of complex cases. This presentation will discuss the role of periodontal plastic surgery in interdisciplinary cases and describe current concepts for esthetic crown lengthening to treat excessive gingival display and minimally invasive soft tissue grafting to treat gingival recession. Guidelines for when to graft and when to restore cervical lesions and when to use the Tunnel Technique at implant sites.
Learning Objectives
-State the appropriate age for esthetic crown lengthening surgery
-State the limitations of “flapless” osseous surgery for crown lengthening
-Describe the evolution of soft tissue grafting techniques
-List the advantages of the tunnel technique with allografts
-Discuss the indications for grafting or restoring cervical lesions
-Indications and limitations of the tunnel technique at implant sites
DAY 3 – Lee Ann Brady, DMD
Clinical Conversations: Topic will be determined by the group during the course
The first two phases of any restorative care are treatment planning and clinical execution. The third phase, material selection and clinical application, is often underestimated, resulting in failure to serve our patients. The abundance of restorative dentistry materials, such as dental ceramics, adhesives, composite resins, cements, and provisional material, coupled with the constant release of new materials by manufacturers, can be daunting. When clinicians comprehend the fundamental features and characteristics of each material as well as their precise application, the maximum potential of each material can be achieved, resulting in extraordinary patient care. This course will focus on clinical recommendations and material selection criteria to complement the pursuit of restorative dental excellence.
DAY 4 – Taiseer A. Sulaiman, DDS, PhD
Optimizing Direct & Indirect Restorative Outcomes
The first two phases of any restorative care are treatment planning and clinical execution.

This course will focus on clinical recommendations and material selection criteria to complement the pursuit of restorative dental excellence.
Learning Objectives:
-Understanding the advancement of adhesive systems, tooth-colored direct restorative materials, and which adhesion technique maximizes bonding to the tooth structure. In addition, understanding the relevance of light-curing and the polymerization process, as well as the role it plays in extending restorative therapy.
-Establish criteria for the selection and use of modern ceramics, including bonding, with a focus on monolithic zirconia, its numerous generations, and how an understanding of ceramic material qualities can lead to successful and long-lasting indirect restorative treatment.
