This webinar will explore ways to better support LGBTQ+ students and how to make LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging a reality in dental education.
The ADEA Climate Study conducted in 2022, revealed that members of the LGBTQ+ community had a lower sense of both well-being and belonging compared to other sexual orientations and gender identities. This webinar, through questions posed to a panel of LGBTQ+ students, will explore their sense of inclusion and belonging at dental and allied dental institutions. Discussing their personal experiences, we will explore ways to better support LGBTQ+ students and how to make LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging a reality in dental education.
Learning Objectives:
• Explore the importance of a sense of belonging for LGBTQ+ students in dental and allied dental education.
• Identify potential barriers to LGBTQ+ students’ sense of belonging and discuss ways to overcome identified barriers.
• Discuss strategies that can help foster an environment of inclusion and belonging for dental and allied dental students.Original Release Date: June 27, 2023

Inclusive language is not about political correctness or impinging on free speech; it is about communicating in a way that is accessible and respectful and values, includes and empowers all members of our organization and workplace.

Dr. Levin will present results of a recent interview with dental trauma instructors from all Canadian dental schools and shed some light on the challenges and recommendations as voiced by those dental trauma educators. Dr. Puranik will share how the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine implemented PBL in traumatic dental injuries education and discuss the implementation process blueprint and outcomes after the implementation.

This presentation will share innovative tools used to support third-year dental students in learning Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) protocols for special needs patients. You will learn evidence-based strategies and tools to actively engage students and enhance information retention.
Due to the massive amount of knowledge students are expected to retain, dental educators are challenged with finding ways to engage students and improve retention of material. As students approach completion of their dental programs, prior information learned will likely be forgotten, and consequently, these gaps in knowledge will lead to difficulty in acquiring new material. This presentation will share innovative tools used to support third-year dental students in learning Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) protocols for special needs patients. You will learn evidence-based strategies and tools to actively engage students and enhance information retention.
Learning Objectives:
- Introduce evidence-based strategies and tools to promote active learning for students.
- Apply evidence-based strategies and tools to enhance knowledge retention.
- Evaluate outcomes of innovative technological tools used for active learning.

The webinar will discuss the challenges surrounding the underrepresentation of Black/African American (BAA) men in dentistry and dental education and present a rationale for anti-racism strategies to address these challenges.
In September 2022, ADEA released a special issue of its peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Dental Education, focusing entirely on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in dental education. One of the 23 articles tackled what many consider the proverbial elephant in the room: Where are the Black male dentists, dental students and dental educators? This webinar features the three authors of that article, “Illuminating light in the darkness: Black/African-American men in dental education and strategies for change.” The webinar will discuss the challenges surrounding the underrepresentation of Black/African American (BAA) men in dentistry and dental education and present a rationale for anti-racism strategies to address these challenges.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the importance of both mentorship and systems change to guide BAA men into and through dental careers.
- Assess the need for more direct attention to how dental school humanistic environments support BAA men, commit human and financial resources for program development and use data-driven metrics to assess those programs longitudinally.
- Discuss the promotion of oral health equity and its demands for more than simply appreciating BAA men’s contributions, but an actionable commitment to creating and advancing opportunities that ensure their success.

With the recent addition to Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standard 2-24d that “graduates must be competent in health promotion and diseases prevention, including caries management,” there is now a requirement to create mechanisms that demonstrate this competency.
With the recent addition to Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standard 2-24d that “graduates must be competent in health promotion and diseases prevention, including caries management,” there is now a requirement to create mechanisms that demonstrate this competency.
While dental caries is the most common dental disease, previous CODA requirements and dental schools, in general, have focused only on the surgical treatment to excise caries and restore the remaining tooth structure. Caries is a multi-factorial disease, and management of caries requires individual risk assessment and risk-based treatment planning. Reassessment of caries risk also must be performed over time to reinforce and reevaluate patients’ compliance and response to the management plan proposed. Caries management competency involves the evaluation of student’s ability to develop and perform these complex critical thinking skills. Unlike most single-event, competency evaluations, demonstrating these skills requires different strategies. This complimentary webinar will provide examples of how five dental schools have met this requirement using systematic and creative ways.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the elements of a caries management competency that both encourages and effectively evaluates student ability to assess individual patient risk, develop an appropriate treatment plan and reassess the caries risk and management plan over time.
- Develop a competency for caries management at individual level using best practices from other institutions.
- Identify what criteria lead to a successful caries management competency.
