General Membership Meeting: Dentistry 2.0: See Earlier, Treat Smarter, Restore Beautifully
2026-11-12 18:30 - 20:30 | Hybrid, 1485 Park Ave., San Jose, CA, 95126, United States
Today our patients would rather stay healthy than wait for disease, and luckily dentistry is shifting toward earlier detection, prevention-first care, and conservative aesthetic decisions. This lecture presents a practical “Dentistry 2.0” framework that connects visual detection to risk-based prevention and improved case acceptance. Learn how to integrate supportive periodontal and remineralization therapies into everyday workflows, then bridge prevention to conservative aesthetics. This presentation will be for the entire dental team.
Objectives:
By attending, participants will be able to:

Apply a Dentistry 2.0 clinical framework that links early detection, risk assessment, prevention, and conservative restorative decision-making.
Interpret clinical findings to identify early disease indicators (e.g., early demineralization/biofilm activity patterns) and determine appropriate next-step interventions.
Present risk in an empowering way using patient-friendly language that motivates action without fear, shame, or overwhelm.
Integrate non-invasive protocols into periodontal maintenance and prevention workflows, including how to position therapy and expectations to improve adherence.
Design a practical remineralization plan that aligns with risk level, compliance, and measurable follow-up.
Connect prevention to aesthetics by choosing more conservative pathways to improved aesthetics and see how the aesthetics wants are achieved.
