McGraw, D.D.S., M.S., and Michael R. Doctor, D.D.S., M.S. of Northern Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, PC Petoskey, MI. Gingival recession is an everyday occurrence in our dental practices, but management of recession can be confusing. We will cover etiologies of gingival recession and what factors we can used to determine when recession should be treated or when it is appropriate to cautiously observe. Surgical gingival grafting options will also be reviewed. As dental implants have become a common method for replacing teeth, it is important for us to inform our patients on the best practices for maintain these implants. We will review in-office and homecare techniques and tips for maintaining healthy peri-implant tissues. Cost is $15 or FREE to MDHA members RSVP by March 17th to Cheryl Smigelski at 989-766-8134 or cheryl.smigelski@yahoo.com Make checks payable to SSDDHS.

In 2014, the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance coverage provisions were implemented in Michigan—the health insurance marketplace for individuals seeking coverage and the Healthy Michigan Plan, the state’s expanded Medicaid program. Enrollment in both far exceeded forecasts. The Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation (CHRT), in partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI) and the School of Public Health, will bring together panels of stakeholders—including health care and business leaders, health policy experts, and state government officials—to discuss the coverage impacts of the ACA in Michigan. Panelists will explore how access to care is changing in Michigan in light of these new coverage opportunities, discuss how businesses and insurers are engaging in a changing marketplace, and examine the financial and delivery system impacts of expanded coverage in the state.
