Without the dedication and passion of researchers within the dental community, the advancements of cosmetic dentistry within the last 25 years would not be where they are today. The AACD has added a poster session to its 25th Anniversary AACD Scientific Session to create an outlet for researchers and clinicians to share their scientific findings and to promote greater interaction within the dental community.

Specifications for poster session presentations:
- Posters may be a maximum of (2) 22” (w) x 28” (h)
- Be sure to include the abstract title, author name(s), and the institution, if applicable,
where the work was completed, in large letters centered at the top of the poster.
- Abstracts should include a concise introduction describing the purpose of the poster, as
well as a brief description of the methods, results, and conclusions.
- The poster session is a graphics presentation of an author’s work-using graphs,
photographs, diagrams, and any sample educational materials developed-on a poster board.
- You will be responsible for mounting your own poster prior to the poster session and
removing your display materials at the conclusion of the session.
- Hand-carry your poster to the scientific session, using tubular packaging or a portfolio case. DO NOT MAIL YOUR POSTER TO THE AACD EXECUTIVE OFFICE OR TO THE HAWAII CONVENTION CENTER.
- It is encouraged to utilize handouts to supplement your poster.
- Presenters must be present during the interactive discussion session, and are encouraged to be near their displays to discuss their work with attendees throughout the poster session.
Tips for poster session displays:
- Posters should stimulate discussion, not give a long presentation. Therefore, keep text to a minimum, emphasize graphics, and make sure every item in your poster is necessary.
- Draw a rough sketch of your poster first. You may find it helpful to use graph paper and post-it notes to better visualize where the components of your presentation will go.
- Materials must easily be read at a distance of 4 feet. Ordinary type or carelessly
prepared handwritten copy is unacceptable, and will not be displayed. Use a font size
of at least 14 point and double space.
- Space your information proportionally by dividing your poster either horizontally or
vertically into three or four sections. Then place related materials (e.g. photo with
accompanying text) close together and highlight it by framing with blank space.
