How to do better dentistry is a limited attendance two-day course being held in the Schull Harbour Hotel in West Cork, Ireland on 19-20 April 2023. It will provide 13 hours of CPD.
Speakers
Professor Raymond Bertolotti is a giant in the history of bonding, as he literally coined the phrase ‘adhesion dentistry’ in 1985.
And Professor Edward Lynch continues to work in specialist referral practice in Wimpole Street, London.
Lynch is a GDC-registered specialist in restorative dentistry, endodontics and prosthodontics and researches and supervises dentists performing clinical PhD theses in the UK.
Professor Ray Bertolotti will cover the following topics:
- Bulkfill composite – polymerisation shrinkage is the enemy
- Understand the clinical consequences of polymerisation shrinkage
- Easily create margins free of white lines (enamel fracture) and later staining
- Observe polymerisation shrinkage in real time with revolutionary OCT
- Why ‘low shrinkage composites’ do not help and likely are worse
- Stop creating open gingival margins and the associated ‘recurrent caries’
- Zirconia – choose the materials and applications carefully
- Why only Y3 zirconia (3 mol percent yttria) does not fracture
- Which porcelain brand works best on zirconia and why
- Revolutionary zirconia adhesion bridges (almost no prep)
- The best alternative to anterior implants
- Why Emax is usually superior to posterior zirconia.
- Adhesion – utilised to the maximum on all dental surfaces
- Intraorally bond gold to gold (no, it’s not welding)
- Stay supragingival and get outstanding aesthetics with ceramic
- Best possible bond strengths to dental surfaces compared to enamel
- Bond porcelain well without HF etching (20 plus year recalls prove it)
- Why you should retire if you don’t have a Microetcher
- Some fun dentistry – low stress and highly profitable too
- Reattach fractured off incisor fragments (even with bleeding pulps)
- Why veneers, not crowns, are often the preferred anterior restoration
- Try-in veneers for aesthetics without ‘try-in pastes’ which require removal
- Easily make implant access holes disappear
- Anterior white spots; easily removed.
Professor Edward Lynch will cover the following topics:
- Many of the latest evidenced-based methods to do better, faster and more profitable clinical dentistry
- Managing deep carious lesions – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- When to leave infected dentine in deep cavities – understand the evidenced based literature which guides us to what, where, when, why and how
- How to reduce the need for root canal treatments when dealing with near pulp exposures – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- The latest ways to manage pulpal exposures – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- Role of partial pulpotomies in permanent teeth? – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- Role of total pulpotomies in permanent teeth? – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- When to use MTA after caries removal – understand the evidenced-based literature, which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- When to use Biodentine after caries removal – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- When to use glass ionomer cements – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to what to use where and how to use them
- Which glass ionomer cements can remineralise caries and why – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to recommend which products to use where
- How minimally invasive dentistry is being successfully applied in dental practice
- Some tips for successful placement of anterior and posterior composites understand the evidenced based literature which guides us to what, where, when, why and how
- Update on teeth whitening, to learn if any ‘lights’ can improve in-surgery teeth whitening, and the latest ways to improve tooth whitening – internal and external – understand the evidenced based literature which guides us to recommend which products to use where
- Some methods to manage white spots – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to recommend which products to use where
- Some novel methods to reduce cross infection problems in dentistry – understand the evidenced-based literature which guides us to recommend which products to use where
- Should we use ozone in dental practice? – understand the evidenced-based literature. This guides us to recommend which products to use, where, why, when and how to use them, and when not to use them.
