Course summary

How do you begin to analyse and treat a restorative case?

From more simple cases such as a discoloured non-vital central incisor right through to more complex cases such as generalised wear this course will take you from A-Z in a simple, logical, stepwise manner.

The course is suitable for all levels; from the newly qualified dentist looking to build on their BDS learning, right through to the experienced practitioner wishing to enhance their skills.

The format is evidence-based lectures with supporting literature (supplied), complimented with a large proportion of hands-on with over-the-shoulder coaching. Each weekend module will have an informal after hour’s social session where delegates will have the opportunity to discuss thoughts and questions in more depth.

Course overview

Topics

• Module 1 – Fundamentals of adult restorative care
• Module 2 – Management considerations for the adult patient
• Module 3 – Adult restorative clinical practice

Course structure: 

This course will be delivered predominantly online. It will consist of a series of videos, Zoom lectures and Zoom Workshops. The final section of the course will be a 3 day workshop of simulated practice

This course offers the Oral Health Therapist (OHT) or dual trained dental hygienist/dental therapist the opportunity to broaden their professional skill set to include restorative treatment planning and procedures for adult patients. The course has been revised to meet the needs of the working clinician and consists of online Zoom lectures, online Zoom case study discussions and 3 days of simulated clinical practice with the supervision of registered dentists.

The course will provide participants education and clinical skill development relevant to the provision of restorative treatment for adult patients, taking into consideration their periodontal status. Additionally, the course will include advanced didactic content such as cone-beam imaging, the role of medicines in managing oral health, an update in restorative dentistry, and adult restorative treatment planning.

This evidence-based course consists of three modules:

• Fundamentals of adult restorative care
• Management considerations for the adult patient
• Adult restorative clinical practice

This course is designed to allow participants to refresh their knowledge of the basic principles of oral surgery and enhance their extraction skills. It will allow participants to achieve deeper insight into the most common surgical complications encountered in general practice and to become confident in the surgical management of minor dentoalveolar surgical cases as well as being able to manage medically compromised patients in a majority of situations.

Major Topics

• Medically compromised patient
• Infection control update
• Outline of basic surgical techniques
• Management of the Bisphosphonate patient
• Exodontia and management of common complications of exodontia

ADVANCED SURGICAL AND RESTORATIVE PROTOCOLS

This interactive 3-day course is designed for clinicians with extensive surgical experience, such as concepts and techniques of guided bone regeneration, immediate implant placement, multiple implant placement and guided implant planning and placement.

Participants will gain a good understanding of how to prepare a treatment plan for a full arch or full mouth case using various dental implant treatment modalities.

Due to the complex and expensive nature of such treatments, this course covers identifying pertinent risk factors and learning how to reduce or control them.

As integral to the long-term success, longterm maintenance and management of complications will also be discussed.

Additionally, the use of guided surgery and grafting to improve treatment outcomes and long-term stability will also be covered.

The hands-on workshop includes bone reduction, immediate implant placement in a full arch scenario and soft tissue grafting on a porcine jaw.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

– Learn about patient selection and identify difficult cases.

– Understand full arch/full mouth treatment planning process.

– Understand the biomechanics of full arch implant prosthesis including implant numbers, distribution and   angulation arrangement.

– Gain an insight into the various fixed and removable options available, including the All-on-4® treatment
  concept.

– Acquire knowledge on how guided surgery can facilitate implant placement and restorative predictability.

– Learn about tissue regeneration, bone reduction, grafting, sift lift and alternative procedures for the   management of a full arch case.

– Understand long-term maintenance protocols.

HANDS-ON / PRACTICAL

– Practice bone reduction and immediate implant placement in the full arch.

– Soft tissue grafting and suturing using porcine jaws.

Course Overview

Administration of more than one drug at a time is a frequent event. It can occur simply by taking a medicine with a cup of coffee or in the complicated context of a person on multiple medicines per day. Even though dentists prescribe a narrow range of medicines, how often do you really assess the compatibility of these with the medicines the patient is already on? Do you investigate the interaction of these medicines with food, herbal medicines, vitamins or fruit juices?  What resources do you use to investigate drug interactions?

In this presentation A/Prof Moses will provide an overview of the current concepts in drug interactions and the clinically relevant interactions with drugs used in dentistry. Interactions with fruit juices (way beyond grapefruit juice) and complementary medicines will also be discussed. 

This presentation will help you unravel the mysteries of drug interactions and show you how to determine which interactions to worry about and which can be ignored. Topics covered include:

• Drug-drug and drug-disease interactions.
• Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions.
• Drugs which affect NSAIDs, paracetamol, codeine, antibiotics and local anaesthetics.
• Interactions with fruit juice, smoking, alcohol, complementary medicines.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this seminar, attendees will be able to

• Understand the value of analysing interactions as dynamic vs kinetic
• Be familiar with CYP, OAT-P , P-gp, BCRP and UGT interactions
• Manage frequently encountered  interactions with dentistry
• Know which resources provide most valuable information on drug interactions 

Cause related and supportive periodontal therapy are the cornerstones of modern periodontal treatment. Although seemingly simple in concept, ‘real world clinicians’ struggle to achieve the results published in the literature. Why is this so? Explore this issue, and the what, why, how and who of non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Learn how to:

•    Understand the physiology and pathology of the periodontium
•    Apply this clinically to diagnosis, assessment of risk factors, prognosis and treatment planning
•    Implement improved techniques to achieve predictable outcomes
•    Increase patient motivation and compliance with improved communication skills.

This 3 hour course, open to all ADASA member dentists and their staff, is presented by St John Ambulance Australia.
