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.

Day One
The full restorative workflow — diagnosis through delivery, plus implants
7:00 – 8:30 AM
Registration, breakfast & introductions
8:30 – 9:15 AM
Diagnostic records & treatment planning
The unified diagnostic protocol used in the Strupp/Brumm office on every cosmetic and restorative case: photographic series, mounted models, smile design analysis, and periodontal and occlusal screening.
9:15 – 10:00 AM
Case planning & patient presentation
The case-planning conversation, the same checklist Dr. Strupp uses on every new patient, and the language to present complex treatment without overwhelming the patient.
10:00 – 10:45 AM
Core buildups
Core material decisions and predictable buildups that hold up under final restorations on every tooth in the arch — including the molars most dentists are nervous about.
10:45 – 11:30 AM
Posts, cores & ferrule management
The post-and-core protocol from the Dentistry Today cover article: material selection (fiber post, cast post, or no post), ferrule management, and how to know when a tooth is restorable versus when to extract and implant.
11:30 AM – 12:15 PM
Preparations & material-specific design
Ideal prep design, reduction depths, and margin placement tailored to pressed ceramics, lithium disilicate, gold, and bonded composite. Bur sequences, finishing protocols, and conservative tissue management throughout.
12:15 – 12:45 PM
Lunch
12:45 – 1:30 PM

Final impressions (digital and analog), the details that determine how cleanly a case seats, and the photographs and records the laboratory needs to finish the case.
1:30 – 2:15 PM
Bite records & provisionals
Bite records that don't shift on the articulator, plus the jet-acrylic provisional workflow, contour for tissue health, occlusal and aesthetic try-in, and patient comfort between appointments.
2:15 – 3:00 PM
