March 2012 Dental informatics at the ADEA: Lots of interesting dental informatics topics at the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) 2012 Annual Session in Orlando. Check it out. New ADEA Dental Informatics Secretary: The American Dental Education Association's (ADEA) Dental Informatics section elected David B. Rankin to the role of Secretary during the 2012 ADEA annual meeting in Orlando, FL. David has been the Information Technology director at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry since January 31, 2011, and has been working in technology since 1984. Mr. Rankin believes as Technologists at dental schools we should work with the faculty to use technology to facilitate better Oral Health care decisions, we should leverage technology to improve training dental students and we should look for opportunities to give dental researchers better and innovative ways to capture and analyze their data. Mr. David Rankin's Bio.
New Book: Integration of Medical and Dental Care and Patient Data. valerie j h powell rt(r) phd (17 Article on Social Media in Dental Education: Social media are part of the fabric of today's world, from which health care is not excluded.

Find out more about the position. Bioinformatics study findings could lead to screening test for safely taking medications: Columbia University College of Dental Medicine researchers have identified a genetic variation that raises the risk of developing serious necrotic jaw bone lesions in patients who take bisphosphonates. The discovery paves the way for a genetic screening test to determine who can safely take these drugs. The author believes that one day we will be able to use genomic data in the dental clinic to improve dental care. They are working towards the concept of personalized medicine's full implementation in Dentistry. Read more. The Virtual World Congress of Dental Students, May 9-11, 2012: This project gives every dental student a chance to present a scientific paper to colleagues and teachers and be awarded. The goal is to encourage students to take part in research activities or conduct their own research projects, to increase communication and collaboration among dental schools. Find out more. January 2012 New Blog on the DIOC: The DIOC has created a Blog on data, computing and technology in dentistry. The first blog entry explains what the blog is about, and is looking for topics from DIOC members. We plan to post on the blog about 2-3 times a month.
