Dentistry for the Modern Age
Whether you're a dental clinician or educator, this hands-on workshop offers an engaging, interactive opportunity to hone your skills by participating in one of two streams.
- How to Provide Excellent Care: Designed for clinicians who want to apply the latest scientific evidence to patient care, this stream reviews the most current clinical recommendations from the ADA and provides clinicians with the tools needed to incorporate this—and future—research into practice.
- How to Teach Evidence-Based Dentistry: Designed for educators, this stream covers pedagogical best practices for instilling students with the curious mind-set needed to provide evidence-based treatment.
This workshop was held November 14–16, 2019, at ADA headquarters in Chicago. The workshop will be held again in 2021. Learn more
