ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
The oral cavity acts as a gateway to diverse manifestations that may arise from local or systemic causes. While local causes are often easier to connect with observed signs and symptoms, recognizing oral signs of underlying systemic conditions can be complex—even for experienced dentists—as these signs may be subtle, rare, or easily overlooked. This presentation offers examples to help clinicians identify both common and rare, challenging clinical presentations and associate them with possible underlying systemic diseases.
-
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Build a strong foundation in recognizing oral manifestations of systemic diseases, including understanding their causes, development, diagnosis, and treatment.
- Identify related clinical features, tissue changes, and interpret signs and symptoms to create accurate differential diagnoses.
- Apply knowledge of systemic disease connections to evaluate unfamiliar clinical cases and manage oral manifestations of systemic conditions effectively.
