The following day, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. he will present “Predictable socket grafting for the general dentist.” Engel recommends that AGD 2016 at- tendees attend both of his lectures. “Do they go hand-in-hand?” he asked. “Much of the time, they do. Sometimes they’re done separately. Sometimes they’re done without each other. But no matter what, it’s a baseline of understanding that the GP has to know.” Another course highlight is “Oral can- cer: The silent killer in your practice,” with AGD Foundation President Gerald J. Botko, DMD, MS, MAGD, FACD, to be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday, July 15. During the lecture course — sponsored by the AGD Foundation — Botko will discuss how early diagnosis is essential to increase oral cancer survival rates. “As dentists, we know how devastat- ing oral cancer can be if it is not diag- nosed and treated in its early stages,” In Boston: Four days of general dentistry C.E.

This is why Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) member den- tists will provide free oral cancer screen- ings on July 15 and 16 for the general pub- lic during its annual meeting in Boston. Screenings will take place from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. EDT both days at the Hynes Con- vention Center at 900 Boylston St. Inter- ested individuals can simply walk in. According to the American Cancer So- ciety, more than 48,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, and more than 9,500 people will die from it — that’s about one person every hour. Oral cancer is typi- cally discovered in its late stages, which leads to a higher death rate. The disease can develop and grow without the pa- tient noticing any obvious symptoms, reducing the chances that it will be diag- nosed in the early stages. To bring attention to this deadly dis- ease, the AGD Foundation, the philan- thropic arm of the AGD, annually hosts oral cancer free screenings, which take only a few minutes.
