SUMMARY:2026 Annual Session: Soft Tissue Management 
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n2026 Annual Session: Soft Tissue Management\nPresented by Dr Beisiegel and Dr Burns at\nSouth Burlington Library  9:30-1 \nDate: August 7\, 2026 \nRegistration\n\n$60 for VDHA members\n$80 for non-VDHA members\nFree for students\n\nLocation\nSouth Burlington Public Library\n180 Market Street\nSouth Burlington\, VT 05403 \nSchedule\n\n9:30-11:00am: Dr. Daniel M. Beisiegel — 1.5 CEU\n11:15am-12:45pm: Dr. William Burns — 1.5 CEU\n\nTotal: 3 CEU \n\nSpeaker Bios\nDr. Daniel M. Beisiegel\n\nDr. Daniel M. Beisiegel graduated from Loma Linda University in Southern California with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1990. He completed his orthodontic residency and was awarded a Master of Science degree in orthodontics in 1994. After working as an associate in Southern California for two years\, Dr. Beisiegel and his wife\, Sonya\, moved to Vermont with their two young sons. Three years later their triplet daughters were born here in Vermont. Dr. Beisiegel has served as President of the Vermont Association of Orthodontists as well as a component representative to the Northeast Society of Orthodontists. He maintains an orthodontic practice in Colchester\, VT. \nWilliam Burns\, DDS\, MS\n\nDr. Burns was raised primarily in Alexandria\, VA. He says primarily because much of his childhood was spent hopping around the country to his father’s various Coast Guard postings\, including Maryland\, Rhode Island\, North Carolina\, and Oregon. \nAfter completing high school in Virginia\, he earned his undergraduate degree from Duke University\, where he majored in neuroscience and minored in biology and chemistry. His senior thesis on mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease allowed him to graduate with distinction. \nHe subsequently worked as a microbiology research assistant at both Vanderbilt University and the University of Iowa\, where he helped author multiple publications. \nHe earned his dental degree from the University of Iowa in 2021\, where he graduated in the top ten percent of his class and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon\, the national dental honor society. \nIn dental school he served as class vice president\, conducted research on oral stem cells\, and wrote for the national student publication Contour. His fondest memory remains winning the intramural flag football championship with his classmates. He liked Iowa so much that he stuck around to complete his residency in periodontics\, at which point he also earned a master’s degree\, which included a research project related to changes in oral tissues following e-cigarette use. \nHe has presented his research at numerous national and international conferences\, including the IADR meeting in Vancouver\, Canada\, the AADOCR Research Day at the University of Iowa\, and the Midwest Society of Periodontology’s annual conference in Chicago\, IL. In 2024 he was the recipient of the Dental Specialty Award from the Iowa Society of Periodontology. He also earned honorable mention in the Graduate Student Research Forum poster competition at the Midwest Society of Periodontology’s annual conference in Chicago. At the same conference\, his case on soft tissue grafting for treatment of gingival recessions earned first place in the Resident Case Competition\, which is awarded to the top presenter from among all residency programs in the Midwest. \nDr. Burns comes to Vermont with his better half\, Victoria\, who earned her PhD in literature from Iowa in 2023\, their children Theodore and Eloise\, and two toy poodles\, Ella and Kiki. In his free time\, he enjoys exploring the outdoors and looks forward to the year-round recreation Vermont has to offer. He is also an avid baker\, and he and his wife have an almost religious dedication to The Great British Baking Show. His other hobbies include cross stitching Christmas stockings\, reading\, running\, and winning arguments with his wife. \nREGISTER NOW
