The California Dental Associa- tion will hold its spring meeting, CDA Presents The Art and Science of Dentistry, from May 13 to 16 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim. Meeting organizers expect that 26,000 dental professionals from around the world will attend to take advantage of educational opportu- nities, to view new products in the exhibit hall and to network with colleagues. Because the meeting is held in sunny Anaheim, many attendees will also partake in some of the recre- ational activities that are available (see related article, page 20). Continuing education CDA Presents offers an excellent opportunity for attendees to fulfill continuing education requirements in a fun, exciting atmosphere — and at record speed. The meeting’s workshops, free lectures and other C.E. opportunities are a convenient way for dental professionals to meet license renewal requirements. The Dental Board of California divides continuing education cours- es into two categories. Category I courses must make up a minimum of 80 percent of the credits in a renewal cycle. Courses in this cat- egory shall include courses in the actual delivery of dental services to the patient or the community. Category II courses can make up only 20 percent of the credits in a renewal cycle. Courses in this category shall include other courses directly related to the practice of dentistry. For every renewal cycle, Cali- fornia state law requires licensed dentists and allied dental health pro- fessionals to complete two units in infection control and two units in the California Dental Practice Act. Licensees are also required to com- plete a course in Basic Life Support. Educational programs at CDA Presents will be held at the Ana- heim Convention Center and the Hilton Anaheim Hotel. Symposia will be held Thursday, and lectures and workshops will be held Thursday through Sunday. Featured presentations will include the following: • “The New Quarterback: A New 2010 Treatment Planning Playbook for the General Dentist,” presented by Terry Tanaka, DDS, Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon and continuing from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at Hilton Pacific C. • “Update in Esthetic Restorative Dentistry,” presented by Terry Don- ovan, DDS, Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at ACC Ballroom B. • “Managing the Endodontic Infection,” presented by Kenneth M.
