ATLANTA, Ga., USA: During the 104th Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting, Atlanta was abuzz with excitement for the dental professionals who gathered from around the country at the Georgia World Congress Center and Omni Hotel at CNN Center. The theme was “Your Total Health Connection.” New this year was the Total Health Pavilion, featuring lectures on nutrition and health.

In addition to a comprehensive continuing education program featuring hundreds of opportunities ranging from hands-on workshops to all-day educational tracks, there was the exhibit hall, where nearly 400 companies presented some of the latest and most innovative products and services available in the dental industry.

The hall gave meeting attendees plenty of opportunity to shop and get product and equipment questions answered by exhibitors in an efficient setting.

Also on the show floor, table clinics were available to meeting attendees for additional continuing education credits.

The Hinman Dental Society uses proceeds from the meeting to award scholarships, and this year nearly $450,000 in scholarships and gifts were awarded to dental education schools and programs. Included in these gifts are 89 scholarships, dispersed to students at 39 different dental programs throughout the Southeast. The students selected for scholarships were named “Hinman Scholars” and were recognized during a luncheon.

“Hinman is proud to support student programs in the Southeast for the past 29 years,” said Dr. Jim Roos, general chairman of the 2016 Hinman Dental Meeting, in a press release announcing the awards. “In the last 16 years alone, the Hinman Dental Society has contributed nearly $8 million in scholarships and large gifts in support of dental education.”

“In addition to providing scholarships and endowments, Hinman invites students to attend the meeting to learn the latest in the profession, network with established dentists and prepare for a successful career in dentistry,” Roos said.

For 104 years, dental professionals have considered the Hinman meeting to be one of the premier sources of continuing education.

Among the many educational highlights: “Botox and Dermal Filler Training” and “Botulinum Toxin for Best Therapeutic and Esthetic Outcomes,” presented by Dr. Louis Malcmacher; “Geriatrics Mini-Residency,” presented by Dr. Gretchen Gibson, Dr. Randy Huffines and Dr. Linda Niessen; and “Pediatric Oral Healthcare Mini-Residency,” presented by Dr. Melinda Clark, Dr. Gregory Psaltis, Dr. David Rothman and Dr. J.C. Shirley.

Other highlights: “Lab Tech Day,” presented by Thomas Sing, Arian Deutsch, Jungo Endo and Mike Dominguez; and “S.I.L.V.E.R. (Strategies to Implement that Lead to a Valuable, Enjoyable Retirement),” presented by Dr. Wayne Kerr, Joseph Jordan and Wes Moss.
