Who’s speaking at the Implant Dentistry Show?
Aly Virani
Conventional osteotomy preparation is no longer the only method routinely used by implantologists. Other techniques such as osseodensification and slow drilling have gained popularity more recently.
Although the evidence base, technique and benefits are widely discussed for the other methods, the lack of commercial interest means that we are less frequently exposed to the benefits of the slow drilling technique.
Some of our colleagues have understood and been using a slow drilling technique for many years and swear by it – this is not a new concept.
Aly aims to share his reading and experience with this technique and hopes the connections that he makes between bone physiology theory and daily clinical practice will be of use.
Aly Virani is a graduate of Cardiff University and holds a diploma in implant dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. His practice of dentistry focuses solely on the placement and restoration of dental implants.
Before leaving to dedicate all of his clinical time to implant dentistry in 2019, Aly previously spent five years working in Cardiff as a general dental practitioner with a particular interest implantology and periodontology at a private specialist practice.
Eddie Scher
This will be an interactive lecture where audience participation is welcome. Professor Scher’s favourite thing in dentistry is getting to the second consultation and making a plan WITH the patient. It is a puzzle that needs solving and honesty and experience is essential when being trusted by your patient to give your opinion.
Educational aims and objectives:
- To discuss a number of treatment plans with the audience and show them what information is needed from the examination and discussion with the patient to achieve the most appropriate treatment planning result
- What special tests are necessary?
- Pinpoint the patient’s options
- What are their NHS options?
- Discuss my treatment solution
- What does the audience think?
Learning outcomes:
- The patient’s different options for their treatment
- The factors involved in achieving the patient’s ideal outcome
- How the medical history may change our proposal for treatment
- How 3D imaging is so important in decision making
- To have the panel and our audience’s opinion
- How financial factors are important
- How to protect yourself medico-legally and stay safe.
