 Join us for an exciting, fast-paced morning with six speakers addressing some of those confusing and contentious myths and controversies that face us in dentistry today. OHSU faculty members will each introduce their topic, identify the opposing viewpoints, review the relevant research, present their position on the topic based on their understanding of the evidence, and answer your questions. Topics and speakers are as follows:

 "What are the long term effects of teeth whitening?" by Juliana da Costa, D.D.S., M.S., Assistant Professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry and a practitioner in the OHSU Faculty Dental Practice.

"Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP): Is it effective?" by John Mitchell, Ph.D.., Associate Professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry.

"Are chemotherapeutic agents effective in treating periodontal disease?" by Steven Hokett, D.D.S., M.C.R. Assistant Professor of Periodontics and a private practitioner.

"Does occlusion affect the health and stability of the stomatognathic system?" by Scott Dyer, D.M.D., M.S., Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry and a private practitioner.

"Does a link exist between human papillomavirus and oral/oropharyngeal cancer? by Jeffery Stewart, DDS, MS, Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology & Radiology.

"How to find scientific evidence to answer a clinical question?" by a team of dental students. This presentation will use one of the topics submitted by PROH practitioners as an example. Teams of students will compete in October to select the top presenter.
