The call for abstracts is open to interested students (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, postdoctoral), residents, and recent graduates (within the past five years) to submit research, case presentations, and/or literature reviews. No individual should be the primary author on more than one abstract.

Student authors should submit their e-Poster on their own. Professors, mentors, or colleagues should not be primary authors on e-Poster submissions.

Each submission may have multiple authors; however, no more than two (2) individuals will be permitted to present the selected e-Posters on site at AGD2025. The primary author will receive notification via email regarding acceptance. 

Notifications of acceptance will be communicated by Monday, April 28, 2025. 

There is no fee for submission.

Abstract proposals should support your e-Poster and may be submitted on any aspect of clinical health-related dentistry in one of the three following categories:

• Scientific/Clinical Research
  Consists of scientific design, literature-based foundation, material/method, result with statistical analysis, discussion, and conclusion. 
• Clinical Innovation Case Studies
  Consists of literature-based foundation, material/method, discussion, and conclusion.
• Systemic Literature Review
  Consists of introduction, method (inclusion and exclusion criteria), result with statistical analysis, discussion, and conclusion.

e-Posters that have been presented in the past or that will be submitted for future presentations will be permitted.

Abstracts and e-Posters are required to be submitted online with the following instructions:

• Abstracts are limited to 350 words, excluding the title. The abstract should be copied and pasted directly into the text box within the submission webpage. 
• Abstracts should not include diagrams, illustrations, or other graphic objects. Diagrams, illustrations, or other graphic objects may be included in your e-Poster.

No. Submissions via e-mail will not be accepted. The AGD abstract system ensures a transparent and secure submission process.

All submissions will be due no later than 11:59 PM CDT on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

Submitting an abstract and e-Poster does not guarantee acceptance. All abstract proposals are reviewed by the SMC. Submissions that are late or incomplete will not be considered. Formal notification, via email, of selection will occur after all proposals have been reviewed by the SMC.

e-Poster submissions should be one page (slide) only. Please be sure to select a legible font for screen projection and audience viewing. Those selected to present will be permitted to submit 3-4 optional supplemental slides to include within their presentation.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is the accepted file type due to the following key advantages:

• Ensures that any colleague of yours will be able to view your e-Poster both on a mobile device using a web browser, as well as on a printout, with excellent quality.
• Minimizes any issues with the rendering of your e-Poster regardless of any symbols, fonts, colors, and graphics you might have used.
• Protects your work from edits. 

Upon completion of your e-Poster submission, you will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. 

Changes to your submission draft for both the abstract and final e-Poster may be made until both the abstract and e-Poster have been submitted. Should you decide to withdraw your submission, please contact Terra.Cooney@agd.org. 

After Wednesday, April 2, 2025, you will no longer be able to update your abstract or e-Poster prior to its review. If you are selected to present, you are permitted to make changes and submit your final e-Poster, as well as the optional supplemental slides (up to 4), to Terra Cooney, Scientific Session Program Administrator at terra.cooney@agd.org no later than Monday, June 16, 2025. 

e-Posters will be pre-loaded to a session laptop and placed in order according to the presentation schedule. The schedule will be communicated prior to the meeting to those selected to present. 

e-Poster presentations must be educational in nature and should contain no solicitation or sales of any type. A maximum of two presenters are allowed per e-Poster.  

Selected e-Posters will be presented twice. Presentations to judges will take place on Wednesday July 9, 2025, 8:00 - 11:00 AM EST. Presentations as part of programming will also be held that same day 1:00 - 4:00 PM EST. You will be provided with a specific scheduled time to present your e-Poster. 

Once a presenter is confirmed, the session is added to the AGD2025 program. Please only accept the invitation if you are certain you can participate. If you must cancel due to an emergency or illness, contact AGD as soon as possible.
