Nashville – the Music City, is a lively and upbeat location to gather with like-minded professionals. With a long music history and bustling food scene, this conference will surely be the talk of the town long after parting ways.
Join us for this year’s conference titled: Clinical Research to Chairside Reality
Our Conference Committee members will lead this transformative event, guiding participants through a multi-disciplinary triumph in bioesthetic dentistry.
Together, we’ll explore:
- TMJ Research Spotlight — Leading speakers present cutting-edge TMJ studies on joint stability, disc positioning, muscle harmony, and pain management, translating evidence-based findings into Bioesthetic protocols that resolve TMD symptoms, restore physiologic occlusion, and prevent long-term joint degeneration for predictable chairside application.
- Digital Revolution in Bioesthetics — The conference demonstrates how intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing seamlessly integrate with Bioesthetic principles to achieve precise replication of natural stomatognathic harmony, enhancing accuracy in full-mouth rehabilitations while preserving tooth structure and TMJ health.
- Medical Aspects of Dental Disease — Sessions explore the systemic and medical implications of dental disharmony—including links to head/neck pain, headaches, bruxism, airway issues, and overall wellness—showing how Bioesthetic Dentistry addresses root causes through biologic models of health, reducing disease progression and promoting holistic patient outcomes from research to daily practice.
- Materials Update — Experts review the latest advancements in high-translucency zirconia, lithium disilicate, bioactive ion-releasing composites, hybrid ceramics, and fiber-reinforced polymers, illustrating their alignment with Bioesthetic goals for durable, esthetic, remineralizing restorations that support minimal intervention, superior wear resistance, and long-term functional stability.
