Approaches for predoctoral dental student dental clinical skills assessments vary significantly depending on clinical resources and content. Advances in technology along with considerations for physical and human resources can make significant impacts on the quality and validity of assessments. This session will explore some of the current approaches to clinical assessment along with examples of evidence based and resource minded assessment methods for the future. Participants can expect to be provided with high quality resources to support the learning experience and there may be active...
This session is designed to allow the participants to develop as scholars in the field of dental education research. Participants will receive an overview of the design and implementation of an educational research project, from idea to publication. During the session the participants will be able to review various dental education projects published in the landmark journals of the field.
Dental ceramics are used extensively in-patient treatment. Dr. Radi Masri from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry will present this course that focuses on highlighting recent innovations in ceramic material composition and physical characteristics and how they are applied for treatment of patients using dental implant. Lithium disilicate, zirconia, and process of fabrication will be discussed. Clinical examples will be used to highlight practical applications of material and how to avoid complications.
The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is pleased to announce the establishment of the Orofacial MRI Center (OMRIC) and the installation of the first-ever dental-dedicated MRI unit in the Americas. OMRIC has partnered with Densply Sirona and Siemens Healthineers for the installation of this new MRI unit and funding for a multi-year research timeline to include studies on MRI indications in TMJ imaging, endodontics, and orthodontics. Other OMRIC research initiatves include studies on periodontitis, caries, and dental materials.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:...
The circle of learning has been defined as a combination of pre-existing knowledge, understanding and meta-cognition in a motivating environment which has the highest impact on the student receival of the learning message. It’s the deemed responsibility of the faculty member to provide practice and feedback through facilitating the learner’s understanding, performance and insight on ideal model of when, where and how to apply the learning experience.
As conventional approach to dental education has several disadvantages including cost, time and lack of faculty direct...
This course will employ examples from our radiology clinic to illustrate both normal and pathologic findings seen on Panoramic and Cone-beam Computed Tomography images.
Adhesive Dentistry has transformed the treatment planning and procedural steps in modern dentistry. The use of adhesive systems and polymeric materials such as resin composites, coupled with ceramics, enables clinicians to preserve more sound dental structures during restorative procedures while achieving exceptional esthetic results with robust mechanical strength and longevity. However, the high technique sensitivity of these procedures can result in issues like marginal gaps, color alteration, marginal staining, reduced mechanical strength, de-bonding, reduced longevity, post-...
The seminar will introduce the attendees to the benefits of “Fluorescence Enhanced Theragnosis” in daily clinical practice and elaborate on its application in the different specialties from cariology to periodontology and implantology, from restorative to oral surgery and pathology. Improvement in almost any oral (visual) diagnosis is complemented by visual treatment guidance to visual identification of treatment goal achievement transforming clinics from “guesswork” into reliable, documentable, evidence-based oral healthcare.
