The Spring TDO User Meeting and Scientific Session will be held on Thursday, May 17 through Saturday, May 19, 2012 at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, a luxury beach hotel located along the shores of Kiawah Island, South Carolina, just outside of Charleston.

Our meeting will be held at the East Beach Village. Check-in will be at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort Reception Center.

The early registration fee for the seminar is $1325 per TDO doctor and $525 per spouse/staff member. After March 16, 2012, the registration fee is $1475 per TDO doctor and $575 per spouse/staff member.

If you are a guest considering purchasing TDO, the registration fee will be $525 or $375 for Saturday only. If you are a postgraduate resident, the registration fee will be $250 or $125 for Saturday only.

Rooms are one-bedroom scenic villas at $219 per night. These are individually owned condominiums on the grounds of the Sanctuary Resort. To make room reservations call 800-654-2924 and reference the TDO Endodontic Group. Rooms are limited so please reserve early! This is a very popular resort so early registration is imperative should we need more rooms. Postgraduate students may request one bedroom units with a sofa bed for double occupancy. These are available on a first-come basis and aren't guaranteed. You may also choose to stay in a 2 bedroom villa; please inquire with reservations agent for availability and pricing.

Scientific Session will be held on Thursday, May 17, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., where we will revisit the biofilm model of endodontic disease with Dr. Costerton and Dr. Epstein, two of the leading authorities on bacterial pathogenicity, in the hopes of developing a more nuanced understanding of the disease we confront every day in our practices.

The TDO User Meeting will take place on Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with optional afternoon sessions. We urge you to take advantage of these in-depth training sessions and this exceptional opportunity to meet your fellow TDO'ers and the TDO Team.
