Cutting-Edge Innovations: Transforming Patient Care

Friday, November 1, 2024 - The Old Mill Toronto

Learn about the latest developments across all dental specialties during this jam-packed, one-day conference revolving around a central theme.

Plenary presentations and breakout workshops will focus on practical updates that can help you and your dental teams improve practice and transform oral healthcare. The expertise we share at Update in Dentistry is fueled by the innovative research carried out by our world-renowned faculty members and our unique position as a hospital-based dental clinic that treats rare and complex cases. We strive to share this knowledge with you.

Our speakers will present key updates spanning dental anesthesia, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pathology, and radiology, prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, and specialty care dentistry.

The theme Cutting-Edge Innovations: Transforming Patient Care will guide our programming in 2024. Explore surgical and technological innovations that can drastically change your practice, including applications of digital workflows and artificial intelligence.

Keynote speaker Dr. Yvonne Chan (Associate Professor, Department of Otolaryngology, University of Toronto) will share advances beyond the oral cavity, including the management of ENT-related diseases and the impact of these diseases on dentistry.
