SUMMARY:September 2026 Regional Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Credit Hours: 3 Hours\nCourse Title: Beyond the Tooth: Recognizing Neuropathic Orofacial Pain in Everyday Practice\nSpeakers:Dr. Linda Sangalli\nLocation: The Westin Chicago Lombard \nCourse Description:\nThis 3-hour interactive\, case-based educational program is designed to strengthen clinicians’ diagnostic reasoning when evaluating patients who present with orofacial pain. Because many neuropathic pain conditions may initially resemble odontogenic or temporomandibular disorders\, misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary dental procedures and delays in appropriate care. \nThis course introduces a structured clinical approach that emphasizes first ruling out odontogenic sources of pain\, then identifying temporomandibular disorder-related pain\, and finally recognizing when neuropathic orofacial pain should be considered. Through a virtual patient-based learning platform\, participants will engage with realistic clinical scenarios that simulate decision-making in everyday dental practice. \nBy the end of the program\, participants will be better equipped to recognize neuropathic pain presentations\, avoid common diagnostic pitfalls\, and improve the quality and safety of care for patients with complex orofacial pain conditions. \nCourse Objectives: At the conclusion of this course\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\nApply a stepwise diagnostic framework to orofacial pain by systematically screening for odontogenic and temporomandibular disorder-related pain (TMD) before considering neuropathic etiologies.\nRecognize characteristic signs and symptoms suggestive of neuropathic orofacial pain in a dental setting.\nFormulate an initial management and referral plan for patients with suspected neuropathic orofacial pain using clinical decision-making skills in simulated virtual patient scenarios.\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers:\nDr. Linda Sangalli\, DDS\, MS\, PhD\, is a dentist by training\, having earned her dental degree from the University of Brescia in Italy. She also completed a specialization in orthodontics and a PhD in Technology for Health in Italy. After working for a decade as a specialist orthodontist\, she moved to the University of Kentucky\, where she completed a Master of Science in Orofacial Pain\, along with graduate certificates in applied statistics and epidemiology. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain. \nDr. Sangalli currently serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine–Illinois\, where she teaches orofacial pain to predoctoral students and manages patients with orofacial pain. She is also an attending physician at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago. \nHer research focuses on virtual learning environments designed to strengthen dental providers’ education in temporomandibular disorders\, as well as non-pharmacological sleep strategies for managing orofacial musculoskeletal pain. Her research has received funding from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research\, the ADEA Gies Foundation\, the American Headache Society\, the American Academy of Orofacial Pain\, the International Association for the Study of Pain\, the International Association for Dental Research\, and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles in the past 5 years and has contributed to numerous books and national presentations on orofacial pain. \n***Branch Leader Orientation will commence after lunch.

SUMMARY:November 2026 Regional Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Credit Hours: 3 Hours\nCourse Title: Head and Neck Cancer: From Diagnosis to Survival\nSpeakers: Dr. Nicholas Callahan\nLocation: Renaissance Chicago O’Hare \nCourse Description: This lecture walks the dental provider through the entire head and neck cancer journey. It begins with what to look for during the clinical exam\, including which red and white lesions are considered high risk. Dentists are on the front line of early diagnosis of head and neck cancer; however\, once a lesion is identified\, what happens during the diagnostic workup and treatment process is often unclear. This presentation will demystify that process by reviewing the standard metastatic workup\, as well as the surgical and non-surgical treatment options for patients with head and neck cancer. The lecture will conclude with a discussion of long-term outcomes and potential sequelae of treatment that dental providers may encounter in clinical practice. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Discuss which high-risk lesions in the oral cavity require immediate referral or treatment\n2. Review the standard of care for the treatment of head and neck cancer\n3. Discuss the side effects of head and neck cancer treatment\, with particular attention to osteoradionecrosis \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Nicholas Callahan is an Associate Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Most recently\, Dr. Callahan completed a Fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Maryland at Baltimore Medical Center. \nHe received his medical school education and General Surgery training at SUNY Downstate\, and his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training at Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn\, New York. He attended the University of Pittsburgh School\, of Dental Medicine for his dental school training\, and also received his Masters of Public Health degree at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. \nDr. Nicholas Callahan is a surgeon in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at UI Health. Dr. Callahan specializes in treating patients with both benign and malignant pathologies of the head and neck. He specializes in both removal of tumors and reconstructions of the defects\, and he also manages maxillofacial trauma. \nDr. Callahan is educated both in medicine and dentistry\, and he is fellowship-trained in head and neck oncologic surgery and microvascular surgery.
