The Ninth District Dental Society was formed in 1909 and renamed to the Ninth District Dental Association in 2002. We have a membership of over 1200 dentists in 5 counties: Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam.
In its quest to serve both the public and the profession, the Ninth District embodies the highest ideals.
The mission of the 9th District Dental Association is to serve and support its members and the public by improving the oral health of our community through Advocacy, Continuing Education and Camaraderie.
The 9th Board approved creating a High School Career Day video to promote the dental field as a whole! Here's the link:

"Craftsmanship-Driven Oral Rehabilitation: From Surgical Reconstruction to Computational Intelligence"
Instructor: Young K. Kim, M.D.M., D.M.Sc
Clinical Assistant Professor, NYU Dentistry, Dept. of Prosthodontics, Chair-Elect - Academy of Distinguished Educators, Course Director - Post-Graduate, Fixed-Prosthodontics & Chief-Editor - NYU Implant Restorative.
Synopsis: This full-day program explores contemporary oral rehabilitation through the integration of prosthetic craftsmanship, surgical reconstruction, regenerative science, and emerging artificial intelligence. Part I focuses on diagnosis, treatment planning, and prosthetically driven strategies for complex, full-arch rehabilitation. Part II addresses clinical execution, tissue architecture, biomechanics, provisionalization, and definitive reconstruction. Part III examines mechanotransductive regeneration, highlighting how mechanical forces, biologic signaling, and the local biomechanical environment influence bone regeneration and implant-related reconstruction. Part IV, Artificial Intelligence and Computational Surgical Intelligence: The Forthcoming AI Era and Its Impact on Clinical Practice, explores the evolution from digital dentistry to AI-enabled care, including deterministic algorithms, machine learning, robotics, and computational surgical intelligence. Through clinical cases, translational research, and emerging technologies, attendees will gain a framework for connecting craftsmanship, biomechanics, regenerative science, and computation in contemporary reconstructive dentistry.
