AGD is seeking passionate speakers to deliver high-quality and impactful educational content at AGD2023. There are three opportunities to choose from:

Dental Pearls Presentations
Open to all AGD members with preference to FAGD and MAGD Awardees.

Dental Pearls are 10 to 15 minute case studies and/or interesting cases that have relevant educational benefit to attendees. Each presentation will include a 3-5 minute Q&A with the audience. Previously published cases are eligible for Dental Pearl presentations and all disciplines of dentistry will be considered. 

Emerging Speaker Presentations
Open to all dentists with preference given to AGD members.

Emerging speaker presentations are for individuals who have not yet presented on a national stage. These sessions are 50-minute lectures on any clinical discipline topic in a symposium-style format. Presentations should focus on current issues with immediate relevance and importance to the field of dentistry, including current best practices, emerging technologies and techniques, or sharing of clinical success or how to avoid failures.

Recommencing Speakers Presentations
Open to all dentists with preference given to AGD members.

Recommencing speaker presentations are for those who are returning to the national stage after a brief break. These are 50-minute lectures on any clinical topic across the spectrum of dentistry in a symposium-style format. Submissions must include a title, brief course description and at least two learning objectives. Each presentation should focus on current issues with immediate relevance and importance to the field of dentistry, including current best practices, emerging technologies and techniques, or sharing of clinical success or how to avoid failures. 

Submission of an abstract proposal does not guarantee acceptance to the AGD2023 program. All abstract proposals are reviewed by the Scientific Meeting Council (SMC), based on description clarity, learning objectives, creativity of proposed topic/case and its significance to general dentistry. Incomplete proposals will not be accepted. Formal notification of acceptance will occur after the SMC has reviewed all complete submissions.

Speakers chosen will be required to submit their final presentation (PowerPoint or compatible format) including any clinical photos or video clips to AGD no later than June 9, 2023. 

Submit your abstract today and don’t miss this opportunity to help move general dentistry forward at AGD2023. The submission deadline is January 27, 2023, at 5:00 PM CST.
