Simplifying Complex

February 26–27, 2027 · Clearwater, FL · 16 CE Credits

The 2-Day Agenda

Sixteen hours of CE — paced so a practicing dentist can absorb every protocol and walk back into the office Monday morning ready to use it.

The Heart of This Presentation

Higher profitability through simpler, more predictable clinical protocols.

The heart of this presentation is aimed at generating higher profitability through simpler and more predictable clinical protocols. These protocols can make the restoration of a full arch case no more complicated than a single unit — yet will make single units a slam dunk. Confusing procedures, or ones that use expensive proprietary equipment based on fringe science, are not part of these protocols. Only simple, straightforward techniques to achieve perfect results with minimal effort that allow you to produce maximum income. On Monday morning you will be able to use these clear, concise, easy protocols to treat every intricate aspect of C&B and cosmetic cases. These no-nonsense protocols are so effective that even the most ridiculously complex case can be treated predictably. The complete lecture in PDF format detailing the entire presentation is provided, so nothing can be missed or forgotten — it is "cookbook" information you can put effortlessly into clinical use on Monday morning.

The Cases You'll Take Home

By Monday morning, you'll have a protocol for every case below.

Each card is a clinical area you'll work on live in Clearwater — pulled from cases Drs. Strupp and Brumm have treated in their Clearwater operatories. One of these cases pays for the trip.
