Update in Dentistry 2026

Collaborative treatment planning for optimal patient outcomes

Friday, October 23rd, 2026 - Chestnut Conference Center

The Department of Dentistry at Mount Sinai Hospital is pleased to present its annual Update in Dentistry Symposium, a full day of dynamic, clinically focused continuing education centred on the evolving role of multidisciplinary treatment planning in modern dental practice. This essential and engaging program brings together leading experts to explore how collaborative decision-making across dental specialties leads to more predictable, patient-centred outcomes—particularly for those with complex needs. Through an integrated format of panel discussions, lectures, and workshops, participants will gain insight into contemporary approaches spanning oral surgery, implantology, prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology and medicine, dental anesthesia, sedation, and the care of patients with special needs. Emphasising clinical reasoning from diagnosis through definitive management, the symposium highlights how diverse specialty perspectives converge to inform thoughtful, evidence-based treatment planning in today’s interdisciplinary dental environment.

Hear about critical updates spanning the diagnosis, management, and prevention of complications that occur in dental practice, covering the fields of oral surgery, implantology, radiology, pathology, endodontics, and sedation from expert speakers. Plus, explore updates relevant for paediatric patients, and patients with special needs.

Learn how to prevent problems before they arise and how best to manage those unforeseen events when they do.

Plenary presentations and breakout workshops will focus on practical updates that can help you and your dental teams improve practice and transform oral healthcare. The expertise we share at Update in Dentistry is fueled by the innovative research carried out by our world-renowned faculty members and our unique position as a hospital-based dental clinic that treats rare and complex cases. We strive to share this knowledge with you.
