Save the Date: Upcoming CDE Programs

Save the date for two upcoming continuing education programs — the first in June with a focus on innovation in dentistry, and in July, the return of the biennial Penn Periodontics Conference, providing a forum to exchange the latest research in the field of periodontics.

DENTISTS, SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS TRANSFORMING ORAL HEALTH

June 1, 2023

(In person and live streaming)

To be held at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology, the Center for Innovation & Precision Dentistry (CiPD) Annual Symposium will feature plenaries by Dr. Maria Ryan (Colgate, Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer), Dr. Knut Drescher (University of Basel, Head Research Group), and Dr. Chris Fox (IADR, CEO), who will discuss advances in precision oral health, biophysics, and dynamics of multicellular microbial communities and opportunities to address unmet oral health needs.

The program will present the latest research by CiPD faculty, trainees, and fellows, sharing emerging applications, from craniofacial and tissue regeneration to oral infections using advanced materials, nano/biotechnology, mRNA, AI, and robotics.

6th Penn Periodontics Conference 2023

July 24-28, 2023

(In person and live streaming)

This year’s program will include speakers in the areas of cellular and molecular mechanisms of periodontal disease pathogenesis, host-microbe interactions and inflammation, bioengineering and tissue regeneration, new treatment modalities, and the connection of periodontitis to systemic comorbidities.

The program is structured to encourage interaction among participants and a poster presentation session is an integral part of the conference, providing the opportunity for participating researchers to share their work and talk one-on-one with each other.
