Congreso Ibero – Latinoamericano deOdontologia

Dr. Milnar was one of 3 American Dentists invited to speak at the 5th Congreso Ibero – Latinoamericano deOdontologia (5th Congress of Latin America including Spain and Portugal).

The meeting was held in Mazatlan, Mexico, June 12-15th, 2003. There were over 4,000 dentists present. Dr. Milnar lectured to 1,500 dentists speaking on the subject of “How to Utilize Today's Contemporary Composites and Create Natural Looking Restorations. He also taught a “Hands-On” course for 40 dentists to help them implement these new materials. Dr. Milnar has been invited back in November, 2004 to speak at the 6th Congreso in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Teaching And Beyond

Orlando, FL: In the spring of 2003 Dr. Milnar presented at the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry’s Annual Scientific Session. The course, titled “Incorporating Two Next Generation Technologies to Replicate Natural Aesthetics,” explored the amazing possibilities of new methods in smile rejuvenation. The Shade Vision System, which provides computerized shade guide definitions of a tooth by providing essential information to verify shade mapping, and a new generation of composite materials, developed by 3M ESPE, that incorporates "Nanotechnology."

In dentistry, shade and color are synonymous and are comprised of visually sensitive attributes such as hue, chroma, and value. Dr. Milnar will use these revolutionary technologies and his artistic layering techniques to help aspiring or advanced clinicians in their move to the next level of patient care. The doctors will know how to create lifelike and restorative veneers, using precise optic shade measurement and the advanced 3M ESPE Filtek Supreme composite.

St. Paul, MN: The Star of the North annual Minnesota dental conference was at the Excel Center, spring 2004. Dr. Milnar taught an all day, hands on course in esthetic dentistry. This course will help dentists blend new restorations with adjoining natural teeth (a very complex endeavor) and create healthy, rejuvenated smiles that last.

In September, 2002, Dr. Milnar presented his “Art and Science” seminar to 53 doctors during a voyage to Alaska. This seminar schedule, sponsored by Ultradent, brings the latest advances and techniques in smile care to doctors all over North America.

In late September 2002, spoke in Tucson during the genR8TNext annual dental conference. This conference brought together dentists from all over the world to experience the latest in dental technology, training and techniques. Dr. Milnar explained how he revitalizes smiles with Vitalescence, an incredibly lifelike composite bonding system.

Enhancing a smile to meet your expectations requires attention to detail, exacting artistry and a complete knowledge of the material being used. Dr. Milnar's seminar shows dentists how to perfectly match the different shades of the Vitalescence system to each patient's smile, and layer-by-artistic-layer, sculpt a lifelike masterpiece. This hands-on, teaching course is for dentists who expect superior results; it is the level of dentistry you deserve.

In May of 2002, Dr. Milnar traveled to Hawaii to teach a course in the art and science of harmonizing tooth color. The course was held in Honolulu in conjunction with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's (AACD) 18th Annual Scientific Session. Many of the world's best dentists went to the conference to learn more about advanced dentistry. Dr. Milnar helped dentists develop practical strategies for exceptional clinical results and natural tooth color shading.

The presentation demonstrated how to use various small particle hybrid composites (advanced tooth material) to create smile masterpieces. This "nano-technology" is changing the face and color of dentistry. The course focused on how to effectively observe natural teeth, understand tooth structure in relationship to color, and to fully grasp the optical properties of light and the four dimensions of color: hue, chroma, value, and translucency. The doctors learned how perfect color balance and long-term clinical results are achieved through proper layering techniques, micro-hybrid tooth material selection, and finishing and polishing techniques. Besides educating his fellow dentists, Dr. Milnar brings this level of care to each one of his patients.

In June, Dr. Milnar spoke to a number of doctors in Detroit, who run a multi-doctor dental practice. He focused on his "visual thinking strategy," which incorporates the science of dentistry with his artistic smile design concepts.
