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 presentation focuses on practical, repeatable clinical protocols for restorative and cosmetic cases. Full-arch and single-unit workflows are taught through the same organized diagnostic, preparation, provisional, laboratory, and delivery framework. The program favors straightforward techniques and does not require expensive proprietary equipment. Attendees receive the complete lecture outline in PDF format so they can revisit each protocol and adapt it to their own clinical judgment, patient needs, and practice setting.

The Cases You'll Take Home

Study an organized protocol for each case type 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. These are the case types discussed in the program.
