Traumatic Injuries to Rehabilitation: The Complete Clinical Pathway

Traumatic Injuries to Rehabilitation: The Complete Clinical Pathway is organized by University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and will be held on Oct 17, 2026 at University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Description:
Oral and facial trauma cases can be unpredictable and often overwhelming, presenting unique challenges in the general practice setting. In those critical moments, what you do—or don't do—can permanently impact function, aesthetics and patient outcomes. 

This immersive, multidisciplinary symposium brings together experts—from pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics and restorative dentistry—to deliver a clear, step-by-step clinical roadmap for managing trauma from initial injury through long-term rehabilitation. You will learn exactly how to assess injuries with confidence, stabilize what matters most, avoid common pitfalls and make high-level decisions about treatment versus referral.

Through real cases, surgical insights and practical frameworks, this program bridges the gap between emergency management and definitive care. You will leave with a practical framework you can apply immediately in your practice, whether managing dentoalveolar trauma, coordinating care for complex facial injuries or guiding patients through reconstruction and functional recovery.

You Will Learn:

• To create a step-by-step framework for evaluating and triaging oral and facial trauma
• To analyze interdisciplinary treatment considerations across pediatric dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics and restorative dentistry when managing traumatic dental injuries
• To understand what practitioners must do immediately versus what can wait
• To develop confidence in treatment planning, stabilization and referral timing
• To gain insight into surgical management and reconstruction pathways
• To evaluate strategies to optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes long term
