FRIDAY EVENING DINNER AND AUCTION EVENT
Friday Evening Dinner/Auction Event to Honor Dr. Peter Emily, Founder and Co-Chair
of the Peter Emily International Veterinary Dental Foundation - Join your colleagues
on Friday, November 14th from 6:00pm-10:00pm for a formal dinner and auction event
to honor Dr. Peter Emily and to benefit the Peter Emily International Veterinary Dental
Foundation (PEIVDF) and the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry (F4VD) at 200 Peachtree
Events Center.
Dr. Emily has made it his life’s work to promote the oral and dental health of domestic and
captive animals around the world through his charity, PEIVDF. The PEIVDF’s mission is
to provide life improving advanced veterinary dental care and treatment to exotic animals
located in captive animal facilities and animal sanctuaries in the US (and in the future,
overseas) that are under funded and/or understaffed from a veterinary perspective (www.peteremilyfounation.org). The
Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry is also a beneficiary of this event. Learn more about the F4VD’s mission on their
website, www.f4vd.com.
Tickets are $50 each for registered adult attendees, $20 each for children 10 and under, exhibitor tickets are $80
each and are available for purchase through the VDF attendee and exhibitor registration forms. 200 Peachtree Events
Center is a short walk (1.5 blocks) from the host hotel. The event will open with a reception featuring passed hors
d’oeuvres, two drink tickets per guest and entertainment by Luna Stings, an Atlanta string
trio. Guests are encouraged to view and start bidding on the silent auction items during the
reception. A plated dinner will be served at 7:00pm. Presentations honoring Dr. Emily will
occur during dinner followed by a short live auction. Bidding on the silent auction items will
wrap up after dinner while guests enjoy a dessert buffet. Auction item winners should be
prepared to complete their purchases on site via credit card, check or cash.
Seating is limited so be sure to purchase your tickets when you register. They may not be
available on-site.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2014
7:30am - 10:30am
Advanced Lecture “On the Cusp”
The “New” Periodontal Disease: “Inflammatory and Risky”
This lecture will be designed to appeal to AVDC Diplomates
and Registered Trainees, and Academy Fellows and Trackers.
The focus of the presentation will be periodontitis. Periodontitis
has entered into a new frontier as not only a major chronic
infection but a disease of inflammation. Recent studies
demonstrate the parallel nature of periodontitis with a similar
inflammatory cascade of chronic inflammatory diseases as
diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Likewise, periodontal therapy
protocols have moved from a “treatment” orientation to one
of “management” and therefore emphasis to host modulation
including nutraceuticals and antioxidants over singular
antimicrobial strategies. We consider not only the biofilm as
an etiology but genetics and the epigenetic involvement of risk
factors to determine the prognosis of retaining the dentition.
Several examples will be provided on managing periodontal
inflammation as a systemic and local immune response.
The guest lecturer is Samuel B. Low,
D.D.S., M.S., M.Ed., Professor Emeritus,
University of Florida, College of Dentistry;
Associate faculty member of the Pankey
Institute with 30 years of private practice
experience in periodontics, lasers and
implant placement. He is also a Diplomate of
the American Board of Periodontology and
Past President of the American Academy of
Periodontology. Dr. Low provides dentists
and dental hygienists with the tools for
successfully managing the periodontal patient in general and
periodontal practices and is affiliated with the Florida Probe
Corporation. He was selected “Dentist of the Year” by the Florida
Dental Association, Distinguished Alumnus by the University
of Texas Dental School, and the Gordon Christensen Lecturer
Recognition Award. He is a Past President of the Florida Dental
Association and past ADA Trustee.
This lecture is a ticketed event, additional registration fee
required. 2 hours CE (breakfast included)

their predicted time (not necessarily the fastest!). This event is a
great way to showcase and celebrate your personal fitness goals
and achievements. Not only is this benefiting your health, but the
proceeds also benefit Veterinary Dental Education. Those who
pre-register will receive a 2014 Veterinary Dental Forum Fun
Run/Walk T-shirt! The fee to participate is only $30 ($35 after
