McGill Treatment-Planning Study Club
Sept 2019 - May 2020
Program Director
The McGill Treatment-Planning Study Club will take a maximum of 15 participants,
and over the course of the year will invite them to power their own learning engines
by providing the content for small-group interactions. The focus of this study club
centers on multidisciplinary, comprehensive cases encountered in the participants’
private offices. Participants will benefit from peer involvement in case discussion,
augmented by a team of specialists.
Following an introductory session, during which the participants will be guided as to
how to document and present a case, each participant will be assigned a date from
the list of evening small-group sessions. Prior to their date, each participant will
upload the documented case to an online forum, so that the other participants, and
the panel of specialists, can reflect on the case. During their session, each participant
will make a short PowerPoint presentation of their documented case to the group.
Then, with specialist input, the group will work together to put together an ideal
treatment plan, as well as some alternate plans, as dictated by the specifics of each
Sam Malkinson case.

In modern therapy, the reconstruction of periodontal and peri-implant soft tissues is
a key aspect of treatment for aesthetic and functional purposes.
Over the years, several surgical techniques have been proposed for the treatment of
single and multiple recessions and peri-implant defects with different flap designs and
connective tissue grafts, achieving an excellent level of scientific evidence.

Nov 23, 2019
Using an active learning approach, Fundamentals of Periodontics will give participants
the basic didactic and translational understanding necessary to manage cases of
inflammatory periodontal disease. In the morning session, current concepts and
standards of care for periodontal examination, charting, and radiographs will be
presented. This will be accompanied by an algorithm for how to properly diagnose
inflammatory periodontal disease, and how to treatment-plan initial periodontal
therapy. Armed with this knowledge, participants will form into groups of 3-4, and
each group will be given different case on their laptops or tablets. Each case will have
a case history, charting, and radiographs. Groups will diagnose and treatment-plan
each case up to the end of initial therapy. A short debrief will follow to discuss
everyone’s answers to all the cases. A break for lunch will follow.
In the afternoon session, a short presentation will cover evaluation of initial therapy,

Posterior Teeth
Feb 7-8, 2020
Successful oral rehabilitation often requires hard and soft tissue regeneration for ideal
functional and esthetic outcomes. Implant dentistry has evolved and it is the standard
of care for replacing single or multiple missing teeth. As a result understanding of the
maintenance of bone and soft tissue after tooth extraction is essential. Today’s
clinicians are achieving predictable results by grafting extraction sockets for ridge
preservation utilizing the latest membranes and bone graft material. Socket grafting
following tooth removal reduces bone loss, maintains ridge proportion, enhances
esthetic and post-operative outcomes and satisfies patient expectations.

Mar 28, 2020
As dental licensing bodies require more stringent application of infection prevention
practices and patients are becoming increasingly aware of the risks of infectious disease
transmission as well as safety issues inherent in receiving dental treatment, dental
practices must be able to apply increasingly complex policies and practice guidelines in
order to promote a safe and professional treatment environment .
In order to accomplish this, dental practitioners need to develop an infection control
program that is specific to their practice and to ensure the on-going education and
training of both themselves and their staff that is in line with guidelines for best practice.
