Leading authorities will present the latest research along with practical solutions that enable physicians and dentists to work together to deliver better healthcare to their patients and the community. Reports confirm that oral health lowers medical costs for all stake-holders when properly managed by physicians and dentists. New research continues to strengthen the links between the mouth and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, kidney and lung disease, Alzheimer s and pregnancy complications. Higher standards and emerging oral-systemic science also present new challenges and concerns for medical-dental risk management. Medical and dental professionals, along with community-based health organizations in our region and across the country are beginning to integrate Medicine and Dentistry to improve patient care outcomes and control healthcare costs. Oral health assessments within medical settings, laboratory and bacterial DNA testing, professional networking, interdisciplinary collaboration, patient co-management, optimal care guidelines, and patient/public education are all part of the new protocols and awareness related to oral-systemic health. EVENT SUMMARY SATURDAY MARCH 5, 2016 The Introduction to Dental Oncology seminar will present current understandings of head and neck cancers and how dental and medical professionals currently work together to treat patients with cancer. Dental health professionals will be qualified to give dental clearance for patients with cancer undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and will learn how to support oral health and deal with various oral side effects of cancer treatment.

Dennis M. Abbott, D.D.S. / Juno Choe M.D. PhD Presentation Title: Dental Oncology: Bridging the Medical/Dental Gap for Better Patient Care Synopsis: With a diagnosis of cancer comes many questions, much anxiety, and multiple medical visits. Understandably, consideration of dental and oral health is often overlooked, but at a great expense to overall health and quality of life both during and after treatment. This presentation is designed for the health care provider to better understand why attention to oral health concerns is imperative prior to the commencement of oncology treatment. The learner will understand and appreciate the need for dentistry and oral medicine as essential elements of comprehensive cancer care for every person with cancer through introduction of some of the most common oral health challenges faced by patients undergoing treatment of cancer. The learner will understand what is meant by dental clearance and why such clearance is important in all oncology patients, but is imperative in patients whose treatment includes head and neck radiation therapy or intravenously-administered bisphosphonate therapy. The learner will have knowledge of what information should be exchanged between the dental oncologist and medical and radiation oncology team members for effective comprehensive care before, during, and after cancer therapy.
