- To show how an in-depth understanding of anatomy is crucial for positive patient outcomes.
EMG Guided Botulinum Toxin Therapy For TMD
Botulinum Toxin has become a recognized treatment for TMD and craniofacial pain, however many dentists are unaware of the importance of incorporating EMG"EMG" stands for electromyograph - a device PTIFA incorporates for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles when treating myofascial pain patients. Botulinum Toxin (aka Botox/Dysport) has become a recognized treatment for craniofacial pain and TMD, however many practitioners are unaware of the importance of incorporating EMG analytics to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. In the Level 2 and Level 3 course, you will learn how EMG data is used to improve patient care by assisting with the diagnosis, dosage determination and injection timing using botulinum toxin. (electromyograph) analytics to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.

Dr. Roberts will then treat the patient using PTIFA’s injection technique that essentially eliminates negative side effects.
Objectives:
- Understand how EMG’s are used to improve patient care when using Botulinum Toxin to therapeutically treat patents for TMD, bruxism and headaches.
- Understand how EMG’s are used for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles and how they can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.
- Learn how EMG’s can be used to determine the timing for re-injection, maintain the pain-free state, prevent relapse and improve patient care.

Using Botulinum Toxin to Increase Implant Success & Improve Crown Emergence Profile
This course will address Botulinum Toxin and implants: how Botulinum Toxin can be used prior to implant surgery to relax the muscles that insert into adjacent soft tissue and strongly influence success or failure. The muscles that insert into the periodontium and affect implant health and longevity will be reviewed. How muscle relaxation can aid vital angiogenesis by reducing subconscious habits, excessive muscular contraction and consequently improve implant integration will be discussed. Medications for anxiety and depression also influence the process. Botulinum Toxin has a positive affect on anxiety and depression; the research will be presented.
Objectives:
- Understand how relaxation of the musculature using Botulinum Toxin can enhance positive outcomes when placing implants.
- Understand how the muscles surrounding the alveolar ridge can interfere with implant integration, and how Botulinum Toxin can be used to relax them
- Understand how Botulinum Toxin can improve angiogenesis in graft and implant treatment
Using Botulinum Toxin to Enhance the Ultimate Smile Design
The frame around a cosmetic smile design needs to be attractive and appropriate or it detracts from the work of art it surrounds. Conversely, when the frame is complimentary and congruent with the smile it encompasses, the overall result is enhanced. Botulinum Toxin can be effectively used to enhance the overall result of cosmetic smile makeovers.
Objectives:
- To discuss how micro, mini and macro aesthetics all provide a frame for the teeth
- To illustrate how the use of Botulinum Toxin in conjunction with cosmetic dental procedures can affect a better outcome that traditional cosmetic dental treatment alone.
- To illustrate how Botulinum Toxin can influence the final outcome of a smile design using case studies.
Using Dermal Filler to Enhance the Ultimate Smile Design
This lectures reviews how dermal fillers are used to enhance the complete smile design. The diagnosis for dermal filler use and the patient consult will be presented using the new FACETEC software technology. Three separate appointments using the before & after functions will enable you to create the ideal rejuvenation with only the dental team and the patient aware of the subtle procedures. To achieve ideal patient care, the various injection techniques will be presented, including the new Soft Fill butterfly injection system.
Objectives:
- To understand the proper diagnosis of facial rejuvenation, when to use dermal fillers, how much and what type
- To use the ultimate software to diagnose, include the patient’s wants, plus have instantaneous before & after photographs
- To understand the current injection techniques, including the use of the SoftFil injection guide for ultimate patient care
