Welcome to the Ninth District Dental Association

The Ninth District Dental Society was formed in 1909 and renamed to the Ninth District Dental Association in 2002. We have a membership of over 1200 dentists in 5 counties: Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam.

In its quest to serve both the public and the profession, the Ninth District embodies the highest ideals.

The mission of the 9th District Dental Association is to serve and support its members and the public by improving the oral health of our community through Advocacy, Continuing Education and Camaraderie.

The 9th Board approved creating a High School Career Day video to promote the dental field as a whole! Here's the link:

 Craftsmanship-Driven Oral Rehabilitation: From Surgical Reconstruction to Computational Intelligence

 Course Objectives

This full-day program explores contemporary oral rehabilitation through the integration of prosthetic craftsmanship, surgical reconstruction, regenerative science, and emerging artificial intelligence. Part I focuses on diagnosis, treatment planning, and prosthetically driven strategies for complex full-arch rehabilitation. Part II addresses clinical execution, tissue architecture, biomechanics, provisionalization, and definitive reconstruction. Part III examines mechanotransductive regeneration, highlighting how mechanical forces, biologic signaling, and the local biomechanical environment influence bone regeneration and implant-related reconstruction. Part IV, Artificial Intelligence and Computational Surgical Intelligence: The Forthcoming AI Era and Its Impact on Clinical Practice, explores the evolution from digital dentistry to AI-enabled care, including deterministic algorithms, machine learning, robotics, and computational surgical intelligence. Through clinical cases, translational research, and emerging technologies, attendees will gain a framework for connecting craftsmanship, biomechanics, regenerative science, and computation in contemporary reconstructive dentistry.

EHC Program Seeks Information on Health Care Worker Safety and Wellness

Dec 13, 2024

Per the notice below, the Effective Health Care (EHC) Program is seeking information on health care worker burnout.

Opportunity to Submit Scientific Information

The Effective Health Care (EHC) Program is interested in receiving supplemental evidence and data (SEADs) for systematic reviews that are relevant to the questions in our evidence reports.  To ensure that it has full access to relevant research, whether or not it is published, the EHC Program is interested in receiving SEADs containing detailed study-specific information.  Opportunities to submit scientific information are available for:

Impact of Healthcare Worker Safety and Wellness: A Systematic Review
(Available for submission until January 13, 2025)

The key decisional dilemma for this systematic review is to identify the primary predisposing conditions that lead to healthcare worker (HCW) burnout, the organizational strategies that are effective in reducing HCW burnout, and the downstream benefits of preventing or minimizing burnout that may impact HCW’s patients, families, communities, healthcare organizations, and society.

[Section 944 (c) of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 299c-3(c), requires that information collected for research conducted or supported by AHRQ that identifies individuals or establishments be used only for the purpose for which it was supplied unless they consent to the use of the information for another purpose.]
