Program Curriculum
Integrating Digital Dentistry and AI Applications into Daily Clinical Practice
Dr. Carlos Escobar, DDS
Overview
Digital dentistry and artificial intelligence are reshaping the way clinicians diagnose, treatment plan, communicate with patients, and deliver care. This presentation will explore practical applications of intraoral scanning, digital smile design, CAD/CAM technologies, 3D printing, and AI-assisted treatment planning tools that can be incorporated into everyday clinical workflows. Special emphasis will be placed on digital smile design platforms, such as SmileCloud, which leverage facial references and clinician-specific design preferences to create personalized esthetic outcomes. Through clinical cases and real-world examples, attendees will gain insight into how digital technologies can improve efficiency, accuracy, patient engagement, and treatment outcomes. Participants will leave with practical strategies for implementing digital workflows and AI-powered solutions in both private practice and academic environments.
Learning Objectives
From Benign to Deadly: A Review of Oral Lesions Encountered in Dental Practice
Dr. Michaell A. Huber, DDS, FICDOverview
Dental patients frequently seek evaluation for a sore or lesion in their mouth. Fortunately, most of these lesions will be inconsequential or benign; however, some may be serious or represent an underlying systemic disorder. The purpose of this course is to review some of the oral conditions and lesions the dental practitioner may encounter in practice. Using a case-based interactive format, the clinical clues and patterns of presentation, the relevant laboratory tests necessary to diagnose, and the basic therapeutic strategies used to manage these most common oral lesions will be presented.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, the participant should be able to describe/discuss the diagnosis and management of:
Profitable Practice Pearls in Dentistry
Dr. David M. Bonner, DDS, MBA, MAGD, FICD, FACD, FICOIOverview
Dental practices can improve their patients’ oral health with “pearls” that are often neglected. Dental Pearls help dentists become “Decathlon Dentists.” The good news for dentists is many of these pearls are often “low hanging fruit” that can immediately add more than six figures of profitability annually when combined with excellent communication.
Dr. David Bonner is a practicing dentist with the gift of sorting through the vast array of new materials and techniques to help dentists simplify the complexities of providing excellent restorative and surgical dentistry efficiently.
This fast-moving presentation is designed for Dentists and the entire Dental Team and will help each participant enhance the pleasure and profitability of practicing dentistry by Monday morning!
