CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.—The Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD), a nonprofit association dedicated to improving patient care with the proper use of laser technology, recently issued a call for abstracts for its upcoming annual meeting.

Known internationally as “dentistry’s laser meeting”, ALD 2019 runs from April 4–6 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. The meeting’s focus is “The Laser-Systemic Connection: Lighting the Way to a Healthier Mouth and Body.” 

The ALD is inviting researchers, academicians, dentists and dental professionals from around the world to submit abstracts for presentation and welcomes topics that support the overarching theme of the meeting's focus such as:

The use of lasers and light technology in today's dental practice.
Scientific research.
Clinical tips and techniques.
Future applications.
Professional administration and growth for the entire team.

For more details and to submit and abstract, visit bit.ly/2lb2GvE.

"We’re very excited about the theme of ALD 2019,” said ALD executive director Gail Siminovsky, CAE. “For decades, ALD members were the unsung heroes of oral-systemic health. First by applying laser technology to treat periodontal disease and more recently, by applying light therapy to help patients suffering from the oral mucositis side-effects of chemotherapy. ALD’s mission is being met as our CE meetings provide an open dialogue in improving patient care. Laser use in TMJ, sleep apnea and other medical conditions will all be included in the learning and discussion topics.”

Kicking off ALD 2019 will be keynote speaker Charles Whitney, MD, a physician advocate for bridging the oral-systemic gap. Whitney’s specialty of heart attack, stroke and dementia prevention relies heavily on collaborating with dental clinicians to accurately diagnose and effectively treat periodontal disease. His presentation will help attendees connect the dots on how to bring the message of oral-systemic connections into their practices.

“I love watching the lightbulb go on in the eyes of my audience when they learn how to take the oral-systemic message to the streets,” Whitney said. “I hope I can help ALD members recognize that on a good day they can save a tooth and on a great day they can save a life!"

Online registration for ALD 2019 open on July 15. For more information, visit bit.ly/2JPhAXp.
