elcome to ATPA 2010 -- our seventh annual

in the subject of Sleep is significant and that the potential
for exploration, innovation and professional growth in this
burgeoning concern is profound.
So this year, we responded to this tsunami of interest
and are structuring an entire day of Dental Sleep Medicine
Therapy sessions to the emerging, exciting new frontier of Sleep Appliance Therapy from
techniques to tools to trends. In addition, we have scheduled two full days of staff training that include
sessions with the incomparable Anita Jupp moreover, Staff Members are invited to attend FREE!
And were not stopping there. Keynote Speaker Fred Joyal the 1-800-DENTIST guy (not to
mention celebrated author and one of the premier dental marketers in the world) -- will impart to you
the marketing secrets and strategies that every dental professional should know.
Were bringing back last years biggest hit, Dr. Duane Keller and the Perio Protect Method
clinical treatment techniques, diagnostic presentations, implementation how-tos, and, most
importantly, an overview of how dentists all over the country are adding revenues of over $100,000
each year by integrating this simple, surefire method into their practice.
Youll also have the opportunity to submit case presentations for display and feedback; actively
participate in hands-on Breakfast Roundtable sessions; attend in-depth lectures and workshops on
topics from Minor Tooth Movement to mouth guards to legal imperatives; and initiate and grow future
