Dr. Ryan Tamburrino
Presents
Parafunctional Rationale for
Transverse Normalization
As a profession, dentistry must attempt to address, control, and prevent many issues that result
from parafunction. Broken crowns, fractured teeth,
periodontal attachment loss, tooth sensitivity,
TMD, worn teeth, and non-carious devitalization
all can stem from uncontrolled clenching and
grinding. These issues come up in everyday practice for both the dentist and hygienist alike. Parafunction often forms the dividing line between
long-term success and failure of many procedures
and dental health maintenance.
This lecture will focus on several aspects of preexisting tooth and jaw position, as well as airway
issues, that may contribute to future or progressive
attachment loss on teeth from parafunctional loading of susceptible patients. Additionally, we will
discuss how, as practitioners, we may actually be
exacerbating these issues in our patients. Also, a
strong emphasis will be placed on various tools the
practitioner can use to help triage susceptible patients, systematize appropriate patient-specific
treatment protocols, and potentially allow for improved longterm treatment success.

President’s Message
It all began with a can of Diet Coke! If you know
me, you know that is true!
My long
standing Benco representative, Joan McGowan –
Schofield, stopped by on a routine call so I took a
break with my standard can of Diet Coke. She had
just heard that I was the President-Elect of MBDS
and wanted to congratulate me. We started chatting,
and she asked me if I would be willing to host a
Dr. Joanne Burrell
Woman’s
Dental
Event
in
honor
of
Anne O’Day’s current role as President and my future
role as President of the Society. Benco has a division, The Lucy Hobbs Project,
which honors woman in dentistry and promotes leadership and networking
amongst woman. The more I thought about it, the more I became intrigued.
I have combined forces with a dear friend, colleague and former resident
Amanda Hemmer. Amanda is completing her training in the ADA
Diversity In Leadership Program. She has diligently helped with the
organization of this program. With her connections to the ADA, she has
arranged to bring two prominent woman leaders in dentistry to our
program: Drs. Maxine Feinberg, current President of the ADA and Kathleen
O’Loughlin, ADA Executive Director. These women are examples of
individuals who somehow “do it all.” They have graciously agreed to give the
opening remarks to our program. When I read their bio’s, I really wonder how
they do it all! I think they have a few more plates spinning than I do!
The program, “Women - How Do We Do It All? Achieving Life Balance”
came about from my analogy of us female practitioners being jugglers - we
balance plates in the air all day long. Some are spinning faster than others, and
some slow down and need our attention to keep them moving. Regardless of
what phase of life you are in your dental career (dental student, resident, new
graduate, associate or owner), the daily balances of life tug at us continuously.
I often cite the example of when my husband changed careers and he had the
first summer off supervising our two children Chris and Chelsea. The evening
after the first day of camp, when I asked him how things went, his response was
something along these lines: “I got them up, lotion on, camp bag
packed, breakfast, in the car to camp, errands, ate lunch standing up, mowed the
lawn, went to post office, looked at my watch and realized it was 2:30 and I
had to get the kids!! Then, they wanted a snack and before I knew it I had to get
dinner organized!” I just smiled. On the second day of camp, I clearly remember
I was lecturing to new residents, I was interrupted by a phone call from the
camp nurse. Now, on the medical card, my husband was specifically listed as
the first phone contact. Thus I was immediately alarmed – this must be
important...bleeding that cannot be stopped...ambulance called...my mind is
whirling and jumping to a hundred conclusions - each worse than the next. I
interrupted my lecture to receive the phone call from the nurse: “Your daughter
has sun tan lotion in her eye …. It is very painful and her eye is tearing … I have
applied cool compresses and sent her back to her bunk … My experience is she

she tells me this – really! Couldn’t this have been in the camp

husband. Where is he??? I mean really, I am trying to be professional
here – set the tone for the year – be the boss lady. To make the long
story short....two more phone calls from the nurse, a crying daughter
on the phone, as I am just about to suggest an early lunch to the
residents where I will go and pick my daughter up from camp (no
idea as to what I will do with her), when my husband calls and says,
“What's up? Four missed calls??” Here he was in Home Depot,
getting things for a project I asked him to do and must have been in
a dead cell zone. He, being the all around wonderful guy he is,
dropped what he was doing and picked her up from camp. On the
way home, he purchased the suntan lotion on a stick which can be
used on the face with no danger of getting it the eyes. I also
suspect ice cream was purchased as well. Lesson learned. This is just
one example, of many through the years, where we balance
life: home, family and work. I love my life and all it brings, but how
we manage all of it has been challenging.
This program is not meant to be disrespectful to my male
colleagues, but my daughter wanted me, her Mom, in that particular
situation. On another occasion, my Dad called his daughter first...not
my other siblings...to tell me about Mom’s fall. My staff wants me
to be their friend and their boss... it goes on. We all balance - we all
keep those plates spinning. My husband does it one way and I do it
another. For all of my female colleagues, who balance plates and
keep them spinning as well, please join me for a day of candid
discussion and networking. Perhaps we can gleam a few pearls of
wisdom from our speaker, Lisa Philps, if not from each other. So in
your busy calendar, please reserve Friday November 13th for this
interesting event. Amanda and I purposely let the finish time be 1pm
so we can do some errands and get dinner organized before the kids
come home. Keep those plates spinning!

Join your fellow Dentists of MBDS by Participating in the
Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program!
Halloween is just around the corner and the Montgomery
Bucks Dental Society (MBDS) would like to invite you to
participate in an easy, philanthropic and fun program that
keeps cavity-causing candy away from our patients. To
participate in the MBDS Candy Buy-Back Program, you
simply offer to purchase excess candy from your patients after
Halloween for a nominal amount and then MBDS will help
you donate the candy to charity. Setting up a Candy BuyBack Program in your office is a wonderful way for your
office to promote oral health, engage with your younger
patients and join the MBDS in helping Operation Gratitude.
Interested in participating? We collected these tips from past
participants to make it easy for you:
1. Select a date and time to collect and weigh the candy at
your office.
• We recommend selecting a day during the week
following Halloween
• If you choose a limited time period (~2.5 hours), you
can turn it into an event at the office
2. Decide how much you will pay for each pound of candy
surrendered.
• We suggest paying each patient $1 for every pound of
treats delivered
• Make sure to set a per-person limit (perhaps five
pounds)
• Provide a dental gift bag to participants and/or hold a
raffle for an exciting prize
3. Announce the MBDS Candy Buy-Back Program to your
patients!
• E-blast your patients
• Promote the program on your office’s Facebook page
and website
• Invite adults to donate the leftover candy that they did
not give out
4. Create your own in-office signage to promote the event
• Check out our website for some ideas from other MBDS
dentists
5. Day of the Event: Be Prepared!
• Make sure you have all the supplies you need: Scale to
weigh the candy; Plenty of $1 bills; Staff available to
track the results; and Camera to take photos
• Box the collected candy as it’s collected (…start saving
your dental supply boxes now for packing!)
• Consider wearing costumes during the collection to add
some fun and spirit to the event
• Memorialize the event on social media by posting
pictures and also submit them to MBDS to be included
in our next newsletter and on our website
6. Join MBDS in donating the collected candy!
• MBDS will be collecting candy amassed by our dentists.
The collection locations will be announced in a future
bulletin and by email blast. Collection will be some time
in mid - November.
• MBDS will be donating the collected candy to Operation
Gratitude
• If you would prefer to donate the candy directly, dentists
are encouraged to find a local Liberty United Service
Organization (www.LibertyUSO.org) to drop off their
collected candy
7. Make sure to thank your patients for their participation
and announce how many pounds of candy were
collected by your office and MBDS dentists for
Operation Gratitude
Dear Colleague,
Please join me and the Community Awareness Committee in supporting Operation Gratitude
with our Candy Buy Back Program. This is our inaugural event with this organization, however
Operation Gratitude has been around for years. The candy we “buy back” will be sent with the
local USO to military overseas. The mission statement from Operation Gratitude:
Operation Gratitude annually sends 150,000+ care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, hygiene and hand-made
items, plus personal letters of appreciation, to New Recruits, Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors, Care
Givers and to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed overseas. Our mission is to lift the spirits and meet the
evolving needs of our Active Duty and Veteran communities, and provide volunteer opportunities for all Americans to
express their appreciation to members of our Military. Each package contains donated product valued at $75-100 and
costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have
shipped more than One Million Care Packages.
Let us support this worthy cause in our inaugural Candy Buy Back Program.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joanne C. Burrell D.M.D

Seminar #3, Friday, January 22, 2016
Dr. Lou Graham - “A Sound Recession-Proof Restorative/Hygiene Practice: Integrating the Team
and Creating Value”
ABOUT THIS COURSE:
The essence of this course is all about integrating “your” practice’s philosophical approach to dentistry amongst your entire team allowing
for seamless interactions. Your initial exams, periodic exams, periodontal exams, oral cancer screening exams, x-ray protocols, diagnostic approaches, and communication skills all must be consistent to allow your practice to maximize value. This course will highlight a day in practice, demonstrating some of the latest techniques and truly maximize what you can be doing each day to become a recession proof office. This
course is recommended for doctors and their hygienists, or should I say, hygienists…bring your doctors!
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• Understanding what “your” philosophy is.
• How hygiene growth is the number 1 driver to overall growth and the essence of your practice.
• Why the “wheel” defines consistency and communication between the doctor and hygienist.
• Understanding the latest in diagnostics for the hygienist/doctor team and why these new technologies provide you with so much
more information and equally, allow you to show and deliver far more diagnostically driven outcomes.
• Combination treatment plans that integrates the hygienist and the doctor.
• Prevention at every age, customizing your protocols.
• The latest in rinses, toothpastes, gels and how to again treat areas from chronic halitosis to refractory periodontal patients and so much more!
