What do dental ethics, implant wellness and the medical history have in common? Each can shape the decisions dental professionals make in caring for their patients.
On Nov. 13, three UAB School of Dentistry faculty members will bring expertise from across the school to UAB Dentistry Update for the Dental Team, a live virtual continuing education program for dentists, hygienists and dental assistants.
Chad Taylor, D.M.D., assistant professor in Restorative Sciences, will cover dental ethics and infection control. Maninder Kaur, B.D.S., M.P.H., M.S., associate professor and predoctoral periodontal program director, will explore long term implant wellness and maintenance. Christine Blass, D.M.D., General Practice Residency program director, will focus on antibiotic prophylaxis and the role of the medical history in caring for medically complex patients.
Together, the sessions offer up to six hours of continuing education while bringing several areas of faculty expertise into one program.
