CHICAGO, Ill., USA: With a record number of hands-on workshops, education-in-the-round live-patient demonstrations, hands-on cadaver workshops and open and clinical science forums, the American Dental Association Annual Session has educational opportunities covering virtually every aspect of dentistry. The event runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 in New Orleans, with some preconference courses also on the agenda.

Attendees can select from more than 300 lectures and interactive learning experiences, including advanced courses, “fast tracks,” “Presidential Whistle Stop,” “Progressive Perio,” “ADA Town Hall,” “Social Media Panel” and, of course, unlimited opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from across the globe.

There also are learning opportunities on the exhibit hall floor, with “ADA CE Live,” which includes hands-on opportunities with some of the industry’s latest technology and solutions. The exhibit hall also includes the new “Health and Fitness Center” and “Dental Office Design Center” making their debut at the 2013 meeting.

Among the most recent courses to be added to the agenda are learning labs and super sessions on “Women in Dentistry” and “Geriatric Patient Care.” The learning labs are a new type of interactive course for the meeting, featuring physical tools designed to engage both sides of a participant’s brain — with the intent of opening new ways of thinking. Offered for no extra fee, the learning labs enable attendees to gain peer-to-peer insights in small group environments. Spaces are limited, so meeting organizers encourage early sign-up.

In the super sessions, attendees can further the discussion of what was covered in the smaller learning labs. Sketches, audio commentary and photos of the activities in the learning lab will be shared so a broader audience can reflect and continue the dialog.

The ADA Annual Session has ramped up continuing education courses at every level, from intermediate to advanced.

“The education-in-the-round courses, demonstrated on live patients, provide the most current way to do procedures and allow you to see how you can improve yourself,” said Dr. Gregory J. Peppes, 2013 annual session program chairman. “Our workshops and cadaver courses are great hands-on learning tools. In 2013, we’ve expanded the advanced courses to help dentists and dental teams continue to be the best in any setting.”

This year's advanced courses include: “An Advanced Course in the Treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea,” “Interdisciplinary Periodontal, Prosthodontic and Orthodontic Collaboration for Routine and Complex Dental Care,” “Cone-Beam CT Course: Level II,” “Preparing Patients for Grafting and Guided Surgery with Dental Implants,” “Attachments and Implants Workshop,” “How to Endodontically Treat Calcified and Curved Canals: What Every Dentist Who Wants to Enjoy Endo Needs to Know” and “Advanced Provisional Fabrication.”
