The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) announced an 18-month corporate sponsorship agreement with LED Dental and its VELscope oral health assessment system. This sponsorship will provide AGD member dentists with a wide range of continuing education (CE) courses that focus on oral cancer and other oral disease screening topics through the end of 2011.
"The AGD is delighted to forge this partnership with LED Dental to increase our members' knowledge of oral cancer, oral cancer research, and oral cancer screening techniques," said AGD President Fares Elias, D.D.S., J.D., F.A.G.D. "With new cases of oral cancer emerging on a daily basis, the importance of educating oral healthcare providers who deal with this disease has never been greater."
AGD constituents can choose from three CE courses on various oral cancer topics, with 12 total sessions available. The courses are all half-day lectures, given by well-known speakers on oral cancer. The three courses are:
- Integrating a 1-2-3 Oral Cancer Screening into Your Office (Lou Graham, D.D.S.)
- Dispelling Dysplasia in 2010 (Kevin Huff, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.)
- Four Steps to Help Save Lives -- Dr. Bregman's Early Oral Cancer Detection for Dentists and the Dental Team (Jonathon Bregman, D.D.S., F.A.G.D.)
AGD member dentists can find the CE courses available in their region by visiting the AGD website.
