Stay ahead of the evidence curve. This dynamic session distills the most-read research from ADA journals into actionable clinical insights. Discover how leading practitioners translate cutting-edge evidence on radiation safety, biologic alternatives, infection prevention and emerging therapies into practice-changing decisions that elevate patient-care.

Learning Objectives:

Apply evidence-based radiation safety principles to optimize dental radiographic and cone-beam computed tomographic imaging while minimizing patient and occupational exposure.
Recognize radiographic features of common dental and maxillofacial pathologies, including inflammatory, developmental and neoplastic conditions.
Discuss the benefits and limitations of advanced imaging technologies, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in clinical practice.
Analyze the biologic mechanisms and dosing principles of photobiomodulation therapy to inform evidence-based clinical use
