UPDATE: Additional Operative Equipment at Dispensary

Heat Sync (Composite Heaters)

Units will be available in both dispensaries starting the week of December 2, 2024

UPDATE: End Tuft brushes - now available

The OHC has transitioned to end tuft brushes instead of Sulca Brushes and these are now available in both Dispensaries.

CDCP Patients - Additional Scaling & Root Planing

Pre-authorizations for CDCP Schedule B treatment can now be submitted. Additional information is required for all patients requiring scaling and root planing in excess of 4 units per year. Pre-authorizations for periodontal treatment estimated to occur in a 2 year time frame can be submitted.

Some sections of the PRE-D form in axiUm forms will auto-populate with information from the perio chart and the perio form (CAF).

Medical rationale is also required in the PRE-D form.

When outlining "treatment plan for the next 24 months", please select both IPT and MSPT if applicable. Enter the number of SC/RP units the patient will require for each round of therapy, the number of anticipated rounds of therapy, as well as the re-evaluation/recall intervals.

Eg. P3 patient with active disease:

IPT: 6 units

MSPT: 4 units

interval: 3 months

When this PRE-D form is completed and approved (no approval required for PG), an automated message will be sent via axiUm to the finance team. They will then submit the pre-authorization along with all required documentation (radiographs, perio charting and the letter generated through the PRE-D form).

Please ensure this form is completed for ALL CDCP patients.

Food Bank Drive: Let’s fill Keri Pilon’s Mini Cooper!

By giving to Edmonton's Food Bank you are not only feeding people...you are giving hope and creating a kinder community.

Keri Pilon is arranging a donation to the food bank, more than ever food donations are significantly needed, and I was hoping for your support to help fill my Mini Cooper with food donations. There is a donation box located just outside the Materials Management/Stores door in the back hallway by the staff/student elevators for anyone who would like to drop off non-perishable items, until Dec.12.

I have attached a list of the food banks most needed items, if you aren't sure what to bring.

Thank you all in advance for supporting this cause in any way you can!

Santas Anonymous

Join us in making this holiday season magical for every child!

Santa’s Anonymous is often short of items for infants to 2 year olds and 9 to 12 year olds.

Toy donations should be new unwrapped toys. Toys with lots of play value make the very best gifts! If a toy can be played alone or with another child, can be played in many different ways and doesn’t need batteries or electronics - it has lots of play value!
