The Academy Annual Meeting education program continues to evolve. The Free Papers are playing an increasingly large part in the program format. Free Paper submissions should offer solutions to common problems, patient and practice management techniques, innovative uses of technology, current research findings, and much more.

• Do you have research to share that will offer more effective results in patient care?

• Have you found a proven patient care technique that you want to share?

• Can you make a difference in the way other practitioners care for their patients?

• All abstracts must be on a single topic designed to highlight issues of interest.

• Presentations should be no more than 10 minutes in length.

• All abstracts will be peer reviewed by the Clinical Content Committee, which reserves the right to accept or reject abstracts for inclusion in the program.
