Practice Opportunity Session
Are you planning on selling your practice? Will you be looking for an associate? We have a great group of students graduating this year. In addition, many alumni took advantage of the disruption COVID-19 caused and are now selling their practices, hiring associates, or moving to a new part of the country for other opportunities.
Join our meet & greet session where practitioners, students and alumni will have the opportunity to interact face-to-face regarding practice opportunities that are available.
Alumni and students will be able to ask questions and both will benefit from getting to know each other!
Registration is complimentary—we’d love to see you at this event.
Alumni Reception
We invite you to join your fellow alumni, faculty, staff and students for an afternoon of warm fellowship, delicious food, and an opportunity to mingle. Do you have a question for the Dean? Come ask him! Do you want to see that classmate you haven’t seen in a few years? Come take a look! Are you curious about the new dental clinic? Come join us for an update on our plan for future facilities.
Complimentary light dinner and appetizers.

Continuing Education
The Positive Impact of Digital Dentistry on Materials and Restorative Workflows
James Klim, DDS
The current intraoral scanners provide high-precision digital impressions of the patient’s mouth without the need for traditional impressions while improving the patient experience. By exporting digital files to advanced AI software, the clinician can achieve better diagnostics, treatment planning, restorative workflow, and accelerated profitability growth potential.
Orthodontic Camouflage Treatment: Emphasis on the Anteroposterior Plane of Space
Tim Shaughnessy, DDS, MS
There are 3 ways to treat a Class II skeletal discrepancy: growth modification, surgery, or orthodontic camouflage. A growing patient is an obvious requirement for growth modification. Surgery may be ideally required for patients with large skeletal discrepancies. But how do we treat patients who decline surgery or present with inadequate growth for complete correction of moderate skeletal discrepancies? Dr. Shaughnessy will discuss orthodontic camouflage as a viable option. The teeth are moved to a position of best fit, despite the skeletal discrepancy.
