Nearly 28,000 dental professionals and guests from across the U.S. are expected at what organizers describe the as New England’s largest dental meeting: Yankee Dental Congress 2017 will be from Jan. 25–29, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Among the 300 courses are programs tying into Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker’s effort to combat addiction in the commonwealth.

This includes a “Fast Track” program on pain management and prescription monitoring.

The Sleep Apnea Pavilion will showcase new technologies from laboratory providers and educate attendees on oral appliance therapy and laser procedures — as well as pediatric dental sleep medicine.

The 3-D Printing Pavilion will demonstrate high-resolution desktop 3-D printing and how it provides affordable access to advanced digital workflows for labs and dental practices.

The exhibit hall will host more than 450 exhibitors along with several education pavilions.

Special presentations this year include “A Conversation with Dr. Lisa Genova,” author of the best-selling novel “Still Alice,” basis for the identically titled Academy Award-winning film. Another special presentation features Nancy Frates, mother of Pete Frates, who was the inspiration for the ALS ice-bucket challenge.
