This year Iain will critically appraise the “Brave New World” of 21st Century Dentistry by discussing care pathways, risk and oral health assessment and addressing the taxing issue of “over-regulation”. He will start by discussing why everything must be measured, but how unless it is done in a “proportionate” manner, it can waste time, money and create stasis in healthcare provision. He will discuss wellness models of care and illustrate a light-touch risk-based approach to oral health assessment that has received excellent feedback from primary care pilot practices out with the NHS (published autumn 2013 in the BDJ). He will also discuss risk factors for periodontitis, per-implantitis and periodontitis as a risk factor for systemic diseases.
He will be joined by Prof Avijit Banerjee whose focus this year will be on the advances that have been made in those operative technologies used in the dental surgery that complement the minimally invasive (MI), tooth preserving approach to caries management. He will outline the development in those technologies available to detect and diagnose caries lesions in our patients more objectively. Scientific and clinical evidence will be discussed about the use of more selective operative caries excavation techniques promoting the biological approach to conserving tooth structure and so maintaining pulp vitality in carious teeth. The evening will be hosted by Stephen Hancocks.
