A hands-on workshop in developing, presenting and implementing treatment plans for moderately complex cases in general practice

Treatment planning plays an essential role in gaining valid informed consent. It is a skill that challenges many dentists in private practice by posing difficulties with both clinical and administrative case management. Too often the time constraints of a busy practice rather than case needs determine how much (or little) treatment planning is done.

This course is aimed at general dentists wanting to improve their case management skills of moderately complex cases by developing and implementing a consistent treatment planning processes. Participants will be guided through an easily implemented, structured process to develop and present treatment plans for their patients. On completion they will have a “take home” framework along with supporting resources to efficiently treatment plan in everyday practice.

This seminar will teach you how to extend the limits of tooth movement to where orthognathic surgery can be avoided. Learn how to get predictable and consistent results using the zygomatic buttress for anchorage, a fantastic “up and back” location to apply force to the upper dental arch. Change the lives of your patients as you command 2-3 times the orthodontic fee. You will also learn when cases should have orthognathic surgery and when they can be better treated with minor, in-office procedures like corticotomies and skeletal anchorage.

• How to Diagnose and Plan Zygomatic Buttress Skeletal Anchorage
  • Planning line of force determination for predictable results
  • Bone plate placement and how to perform the surgery
  • Management of possible complications
  • Intrusion and distalization of the maxillary dentition – How to calculate and implement the proper amount of intrusion and retraction
• Maximum Anchorage and Distalization in the Skeletally Open Case
• • Zygoma skeletal anchorage to attain true maximum anchorage
  • Direct vs. indirect anchorage and ramifications for treatment
  • Pivot mechanics in skeletal anchorage cases
• Corticotomies to Decrease Skeletal Resistance
• • Surgical technique and clinical applications
  • Maxillary Lingual – Maintaining torque during retraction in the Class II case
  • Mandibular Lingual – Maintaining torque during retraction in Class III case
  • Buccal Cortectomy as alternative to SARPE
  • Maxillary labial and mandibular labial

During the first 5 days of the one-year comprehensive Master Clinician Implant Training program all aspects of bone, soft tissue, and implant management will be featured including the critical steps in osseointegration and implant site development for long-term success, function and esthetics. Hands-on workshops with plastic and fresh porcine jaw models using microsurgical Hu-Friedy hand instruments, resorbable nylon and PTFE suture materials, W&H drill units, Nobel Biocare implant system, and bone regenerative materials are performed by the class and live surgery demonstrations by faculty. The restorative steps involved in osseointegration and implant prosthodontics are part of this session and will cover edentulous, multiple teeth, and single tooth restorations. Accurate impression taking, fit of framework, screw-retained vs cemented, abutment choice and occlusal design are highlighted in detail.

The Australian Dental Association (NSW Branch) is proud to support the University of Newcastle’s Bachelor Oral Health Therapy (12390) program.  This Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) lecture forms part of the mandatory pre-placement requirements for students moving forward to pass their degrees.

This lecture will focus on the key elements of managing COVID-19 risk while it remains in our community, which could be for some time yet, and reveal the top areas of opportunity to improve IPC processes based on performance-based data and insights gained as the peak body for the profession.

In this three hour lecture, 1st year students will:

• Understand the foundational concepts of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

• How to practise safely in a COVID-19 world

• Learn why IPC is a priority for the dental profession – not just dentists

• Recognise healthcare consumer expectations and what this means for you

• Learn about what affects IPC compliance and team performance?

• Learn how to interpret and follow the University’s Oral Health Clinic IPC Policies

• Understand how to use Personal Protective Equipment to prevent contaminating yourself

• Learn about the single most important factor to reduce healthcare association infections.

This course aims to refresh and update your knowledge on suturing techniques in relation to commonly found clinical situations.

Closing and stabilising wounds satisfactorily is the key to predictable surgical outcomes. Its importance in achieving consistent predictable results is often underestimated. Nearly all surgical procedures require the use of sutures. Whilst simple at its core, achieving good results is unlikely when performed poorly. The instruments that we choose to use, the materials we select and the techniques we employ can have a significant impact on the efficiency and results of treatment.

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

• Online web lectures via Learning Management System, Canvas.
• A short MCQ (multiple choice questions)to cement your knowledge on the lecture topics. An additional one hour of Scientific CPD is awarded.
• Online Live Q&A Session for follow up questions and interaction with the presenters.
• Hands-on Pre-clinical lab session – this session is only available to participants who have first completed the online blended learning lectures, MCQ and Live Q&A session

Major Topics

• Why we suture – flap design, wound stability and its’ effect on clinical outcome
• Suture material and types and their appropriate selection
• Hands-on suture techniques in respect to various extraction socket scenarios, coronally advancing flap for closure of OACs, apically repositioning flaps, biopsy closures, implant closures, soft tissue augmentation and frenectomy

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

• Have a greater understanding of the suturing and its effect on the clinical outcome
• Identify the type of sutures available and their appropriate selection
• Use of various suturing techniques for a variety of clinical situations

Description

Invisalign can be an incredibly effective appliance to address patients with pre-restorative orthodontic needs. However, special considerations must be taken into account to have predictable outcomes, both in the treatment planning phase with the treating dentist, and orthodontically with regards to proper anchorage design and staging of movements. Several concepts and cases will be reviewed in depth to provide pearls for predictable outcomes for your pre-restorative Invisalign patients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Proper digital treatment plan design for rehabilitation of worn dentition
• Proper timing/sequencing of events to allow for efficient treatment
• The advantage of treating with clear aligners versus traditional fixed appliances for this subset of patient

Modern implantology has proceeded to the point where a full arch of failing or missing teeth can be restored quickly and predictably with a fixed prosthesis which is supported by only 4 dental implants. The “All-on-Four®” concept was pioneered by Dr Malo more than 20 years ago, and has become a treatment protocol that is predictably employed on a very routine basis.

But is the classical concept the only way to restore full arches ?  Is the concept the best way or does it have some limitations ?

In this short presentation, Michael and Sid will discuss the modern day All-on-Four® concept and the evidence associated with its success, as well as some of its limitations. Alternative treatment concepts will be presented to provide the audience with an overview of other implant supported treatment protocols.
