RSDM was thinking ahead at last month's American Dental Education Association (ADEA) conference,  where the theme, "Vision 2030,'' was an invitation to explore ideas that foreshadow the future.

This year, RSDM greatly expanded its presence at the conference, moving from 12 poster presentations last year to more than 20, along with other special presentations from staff and faculty.
