Explore the Future of Total Care
Join IDM Scholar Society and Lincoln Memorial University College of Dental Medicine as they present an unparalleled educational opportunity for medical and dental healthcare professionals to shape the future of complete patient care.
For the first time in a university setting, the 2024 Totality of Care Symposium will unite experts in the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing and dental hygiene. Together, they'll explore scientific and clinical evidence of the connection between oral health and complete health while offering the necessary implementation steps to bridge the gap between medicine and dentistry.
Cutting Edge Insights. Practical Application.
The 2024 Totality of Care Symposium will unveil insights into the influence of oral pathogens on medical conditions such as cardiovascular, peripheral arterial, GI, and brain diseases. Attendees will be taken on a deep dive into clinical topics from salivary testing and probiotics to dental/medical forensics, nitric oxide, "Leaky Syndrome," the "Inflammation Triad," Alzheimer's, and more. Each day will conclude with opportunities to engage with expert panels in discussion of breathing/airway/sleep disorders, orthognathic surgery, integrative medicine, and interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork.
Prepare for an in-depth exploration of practical clinical implementation skills and leave equipped with actionable steps ready for immediate application beginning Monday morning.
Join us at the 2024 Totality of Care Symposium to deepen your knowledge of:
- Oral bacterial pathogens and their impact on systemic disease
- The critical connection between airway, oral pathogens and arterial plaque
- Nitric oxide's role in controlling blood pressure and its link to healthy oral bacteria
- Oral bacterial pathogens and their relationship to leaky gums, guts, arteries and brains
- Systemic inflammation: blood markers of vascular inflammation and treatment options
- The state of the science in testing for oral pathogens, breathing disordered sleep, and CBCT/MRI imaging
- Craniofacial growth: normal vs. abnormal development
- Exploring treatment options: oral and gut probiotics, anti-microbials, antibiotics, laser, orthognathic surgery, and lifestyle interventions
