ITI World Symposium 202ONE to be held online

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve around the world, we have taken the difficult decision to replace the physical event in Singapore with a fully online event to be held in September 2021. The health of our participants is our highest priority and the stringent measures for public events issued by Singapore make it impossible to provide the kind of unique and engaging event that participants have come to expect from an ITI World Symposium. We are already working on a concept for a compelling and interactive online congress. The scientific program with its novel approach that puts the patient center-stage will be retained and redeveloped within a new and compelling concept adapted to virtual space.

Residency Dates – September Intake: 01/09/2021-05/09/2021 & Second Date TBA

The Diploma

The diploma is available to general dental practitioners to progressively advance their knowledge and skills in surgical and prosthodontic aspects of implant dentistry.  The program will support candidates to achieve competency in management, examination, diagnosis of more “advanced” cases of single tooth restoration in the anterior maxilla and posterior mandible, grafting as part of site preparation, more advanced imaging, and advanced implant prosthodontics.

Courses are associated with formal assessment procedures. A minimal pass standard is required for each component of the program.

Assessment includes:

• Mentor feedback on treated cases
• Case presentations during the block program
• Case reports of treated patients with sign off of Clinical Progress forms for each case
• Written examinations

Candidates are encouraged to read widely from the current scientific literature. The assignments follow a similar style of writing and required critical appraisal of the literature.

Oral Implant Education

• Post graduate diploma Level – General practice
• To develop an understanding of the anatomy, underlying physiology and biomechanics with dental implant treatment.
• To develop an understanding of the role of dental implants in restorative care.
• To develop an ability to assess treatment plan and provide clinical care for complex cases involving dental implants where the patient is not medically compromised and the implant sites are not physically compromised.
• To develop an ability to recognize complex implant cases where a specialist team approach is required and be able to make appropriate referrals.

This hands-on course is designed for Dentists.

Course Overview

This hands-on course for dentists will cover the fundamental principles of post and core systems.

Endodontically treated teeth are vulnerable to failure through fracture and microbial leakage. The goal of treatment of pulpally involved teeth is to maintain function and aesthetics for as long as possible.

The post and core is a critical final step in endodontic treatment which has undergone many changes throughout the last few decades. Modern materials and techniques provide the opportunity to create a post and core that is strong, minimises stresses to the endodontically treated tooth, is aesthetic and well-retained.

The best endodontic treatment can fail through an insufficient restoration. The restorative planning needs to begin before the endodontic treatment is commenced. A decision tree will be presented for restorative options for endodontically treated teeth.

During the hands-on component of this course the participants will have the opportunity to:

• Take a post space impression
• Place a direct adhesive fibre post
• Place a direct metal post
• Make a direct pattern for a custom cast post
• Trial cements for post, crowns and onlays

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

• Identify the predictors of successful restorability in the pre-operative assessment
• Recall the fracture mechanics in vital and endodontically treated teeth
• Recall direct and indirect restorative techniques
• Evaluate the options when selecting indirect materials 
• Select appropriate core materials and techniques for their use
• Assess when, why and how to use a post
• Apply techniques to avoid procedural errors in post space preparations
• Recall adhesive and conventional indirect restorative techniques

MasterPrep is a two-day course focusing on practical skill development for tooth preparations in fixed prosthodontics.  This unique course will give the participant an opportunity to practice and learn clinically relevant points of tooth preparation.  MasterPrep caters for the use of a variety of dental products such as burs, handpieces, ultrasonics and dental materials in a non-biased environment. Emphasis will be placed on tools and techniques to prepare a tooth and effectively apply this to practice.  Clinical examples will be used to explain the techniques so that the skills can be applied as soon as you return to the clinic.

Why “VIP”? Because participant numbers are capped to small groups. PLUS it the course includes dinner on Friday night at 2 chef-hat restaurant Biota.  Book early for free accommodation.

Be prepared for some fun. The course is informal and interactive. You will be able to challenge yourself and the other participants with games, prizes and friendly competition. Who will walk away with the trophy and title of ‘Winner of MasterPrep’?

This course aims to guide practitioners through the clinical decisions to restore endodontically-treated teeth using contemporary materials and using either an analogue or a digital workflow. This will have a direct impact on your clinical success and survival rates. Endodontic therapy is carried out regularly in everyday dentistry, but a satisfactory restoration after the completion of the root canal treatment is not only mandatory, but also critical to the overall success of the treatment. A pulpless tooth requires a restoration that conserves and protects the remaining tooth structure. Although there are a variety of materials and techniques described for restoring pulpless teeth, the prognosis of these teeth relies mainly on the understanding of biomechanical principles.

The course is structured in two parts, a series of online lectures covering post material selection, pattern-resin post preparation, partial posterior indirect restorations of different materials and designs as well as adequate cementation techniques. The online lectures will be structured in modules, each with an assessment at the end.

Part two consists of a full day face-to-face hands-on pre-clinical component to apply all the principles learnt online. Participants pre-clinical work will be assessed by the presenters and direct feedback provided.

Participants can choose to do either (1) the online modules on their own or (2) both the online modules and the hands-on session. Please note the hands-on session cannot be completed on its own.

Program Delivery – Online Blended Learning and Hands-on Pre-clinical session

• Online web lectures via Learning Management System, Canvas.
• A short assessment after each online module to cement your knowledge on the lecture topics.
• Online Live Q&A Session for follow up questions and interaction with the presenters.
• Hands-on Pre-clinical lab session.

Major Topics   

• Post or no-post
• Pattern-resin post construction for casting post-cores
• Partial posterior indirect restorations of different materials and designs
• Cementation of Glass ceramic partial posterior indirect restorations

Learning Objectives:  

At the conclusion of the program participants should be able to:

• Distinguish the need for posts in different clinical scenarios
• Record post space with pattern resin for cast post and cores
• Prepare partial posterior indirect restorations and endo crowns using different materials
• Appropriately select materials and cementation techniques for partial posterior indirect restorations.
• Follow all the steps required to successfully bond a glass ceramic restoration

There is nothing more fun and rewarding than creating a new smile for someone that is in need. Yet many of the patients who are driven towardscosmetic dentistry, have an unattractive smile, because of underlying functional issues. Tooth wear, is one of the most obvious manifestations, of this easily observable problem. Yet tooth wear has many causes. In this webinar you will learn the various etiologies of anterior tooth wear, and get some important tips towards achieving restorative success, based on the specific cause.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• How to utilize a flow sheet to diagnose the exact cause for the wear you are seeing. Why the teeth, bone and gingiva all change position as wear occurs, and how to visualize the proper position of these structures in the treatment planning phase.
• How tooth wear from sleep disordered breathing and parafunction can look similar, how to discern one from the other, and how they should be treated differently.
• How to create a beautifulesthetic result, with all these cases.

Course Outline:

Dental implants are prevalent in modern dental practice. A high proportion of dental implants are successful, however reported numbers of implant failures are rising. There are many reasons why implant complications or failures do occur. This can be frustrating for the clinician and involve further cost and additional procedures for the patient.

Dr Doonan brings a wealth of experience in implant dentistry. This ‘’Top of the Flops’’ course aims to provide participants with the ability to identify the factors that contribute to dental implant failures, avoid potential complications before they arise, and manage many of the common complications that can occur with implant dentistry.

The replacement of missing teeth with restorations anchored on endosseous dental implants is a common treatment option, attractive for dentists and much sought-after by patients. The number of dental implants placed worldwide is increasing continuously, resulting in an impressively and aggressively growing implant market. The number of implant manufacturers is also increasing, providing us today with a huge range of different implant types/shapes, lengths, diameters and surfaces.

Unfortunately, the increasing number of implants is accompanied by an increasing incidence of peri-implant mucositis and even worse, peri-implantitis, leading to the disintegration of a formerly successfully osseo-integrated dental implant and eventually to implant loss.

Therefore, great endeavour has been made during recent years to identify and validate materials and techniques suitable for implant maintenance as well as potential factors associated with peri-implant complications and protocols for the treatment of peri-implant diseases.

Lecture synopsis – Splinting of adjacent implants has been a controversial issue. It is claimed that splinting inhibits adequate hygiene and increases the risk of obtaining a non-passive fit. Screw loosening and fracture of veneering material have been reported as being the most prevalent mechanical complications of implant-supported prostheses. This presentation will provide a bio-mechanical rationale for minimising these complications by splinting of adjacent implants as well as helping to achieve better aesthetics in many cases.

Other advantages include reduction of corrosion and need for extensive augmentation procedures; widening load distribution to surrounding bone; facilitation of intra-oral handling and repair; minimizing differential displacement of adjacent implants; and improving long-term outcomes.

This meeting will be co-hosted by ITI Brighton and Melbourne Inner East study clubs.

Due to the pandemic and Sandringham Yacht Club requirements there is a hard RSVP of the 29thth of August COB. Due to the expected popularity of this event, it will be unlikely that we able to host any additional guests beyond ITI Brighton and Melbourne Inner East Study Club members.

Parking: Parking should be available at the yacht club car park, however if the SYC is hosting a sailing event on the same evening, parking is not available in the yacht club carpark and delegates are advised to park in the public car parks at the top of the hill. The yacht club has advised that credit cards are suitable to make payment.
