Dentistry is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dental diseases. It includes a range of procedures, from routine cleanings and fillings to complex restorative work and oral surgery. Good dental hygiene is essential for overall health, as dental problems can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Dentists also play a critical role in detecting oral cancer and other diseases.

Dentistry has come a long way in recent years with numerous advancements in technology and techniques. One of the most significant advancements is the use of digital imaging, which allows for more accurate and efficient diagnoses. This has led to better treatment planning and improved outcomes for patients.

Speaker Guidelines:

Organize Your Research

1. State the hypothesis and purpose of your research.
2. Describe your methods of investigation.
3. Include data collected and what was learned.
4. Give conclusions based on the collected data.
5. Emphasize the significance and highlights of the research.

Shape Your Presentation

1. Prepare notes that highlight the salient points of your talk.
2. Practice the delivery of your talk, along with your slide sequence. Be sure your talk fits the time allotted.
3. Use simple sentences. Avoid jargon, highly specialized vocabulary, and unfamiliar abbreviations.
4. Think about questions you might be asked, and prepare your answers.
5. Audio-visuals should amplify your talk, not duplicate it.
6. Do not include music or film clips or other copyrighted content with your presentation unless it is directly relevant to your research. If you must include music, film clips, or similar content, please ensure that it is either open source or content for which you have copyright permissions to use. Optimally display your work—don't use words if a picture conveys it more clearly (graphs, tables, charts, etc.).
7. Use line graphs to show trends; bar graphs to compare magnitudes; pie graphs to demonstrate relative portions of a whole.
8. Make sure your supporting audio-visuals are concise, uncluttered, and easily read from a distance. We recommend that you use a font of at least eighteen points or larger. This is especially important in presentations to a virtual audience because screen sizes vary by user.

9. Request special AV equipment early or it may not be available.
