Biographical Information

Jack Shirley, DDS, has been in private practice in San Antonio, Texas for the last 31 years. His practice is a very low volume, high fee, occlusally oriented fixed prosthetics practice. Key components in Dr. Shirley’s practice are: patient education, comprehensive exams and treatment, occlusion, and a willingness to go the extra mile for the patients.

Dr. Shirley received his BS from Louisiana Tech University in 1974 and his DDS from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Dental School in 1979. He became involved with the Pankey Institute in 1984 as a student and was asked to be part of the faculty in 1986. He remains actively involved today as Past-President of the Pankey Foundation. Dr. Shirley has also been actively involved in the continuing education of dentists with the UTHSCSA, Dental School since 1997.

Course Outline

This lecture is designed to make your life a lot easier. How many times have you wished that you had more information from your restorative dentist? Where does he plan to put the margins on the crowns that he has referred for crown lengthening? Is he aware that if you put the implant where he wants it, the patient will possibly end up with a tooth that looks too long or too short? The list goes on and on. These are some of the topics that Dr. Shirley will cover along with a good look at occlusion and how it affects the periodontal patient.

Make sure to invite your referring dentist. This information will help the restorative dentist understand how important their role is in the implant process.

Topics to be covered:
1. Immediate or delayed placement of implant
2. Graft or no graft
3. How to control the facial free gingival margin
4. Communication between the restorative dentist and surgeon
5. Surgical guides that save the day
6. What about those papilla
7. What is the best type of provisional for that immediate implant
8. Basic occlusion that everyone needs to know
9. How splints and equilibrations can take your practice to another level
10. Centric relation or centric occlusion – does it matter especially in perio?

Certificate for 10 hours of continuing education credit will be distributed at the meeting.
