Finding the elusive I.C.P...(Inner Calm and Peace)
Nishma Sharma
Much like a stale one-way relationship, you work your ball-burnishers off, feel isolated, undervalued and threaten to leave after every broken core…yes, Dentistry is hard work and has never tested our resilience as much as it currently does. So what happens when you fall out of love with dentistry? What happened to that dental dream we all chased at uni? Why is happiness harder to find than a sclerosed MB2?
Nishma Sharma reflects on her personal ups and downs with portfolio dentistry, life after burn-out, our toxic obsession with tooth porn and the secret to us all smiling more including how to find more joy and humour in what we do.
Nishma looks to dissect not only where we maybe going wrong, but more importantly where we are going right, and why sometimes it isn’t the world around us covered in spittle, but maybe just our loupes that need cleaning.

Guided Biofilm Therapy: an Overview.
Jolene Pinder
Our understanding of disease aetiology and the way in which we treat it has changed dramatically in recent years. Conclusive findings that it is in fact plaque biofilm and the hosts response to it which triggers the inflammatory response resulting in the breakdown of periodontal support, have seen us move away from more invasive treatments to those which seek to preserve tooth tissue and address the issue of biofilm disruption and pocket decontamination foremost.
As our understanding and consequently our approach evolves, so too should the equipment we use. Guided Biofilm Therapy is a protocol designed with minimal intervention and biofilm management at its epicentre. The use of AIRFLOW, PERIOFLOW and NO PAIN PIEZON is revolutionising the treatment of every category of patient from dental phobia to periodontal disease to complex implant cases. A contemporary approach to treatment and patient management.

The role of the dental hygienist in the early detection of mouth cancer
Yvonne Howell
Oral cancer is the 7th cause of cancer-related death in Europe. Therefore, early oral cancer screening is paramount in early detection. The role of a dental hygienist involves but not limited to performing a variety of examinations and this includes oral cancer screening. Dental hygienists are trained to recognise tissue changes and document oral pathologies at the very early stage. They also provide advice and counselling in relation to diet and lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol cessation, oral hygiene and can play an important role in the patient’s journey. Although our role is vital in prevention and early detection we need to continue to educate our patient on how to do a self-examination.

"Flourish or Fold" why incorporating workplace wellbeing into dentistry is vital
Bernadette Ffrench
In the context of dentistry, the concept of “wellbeing” plays a vital role in determining whether dental professionals and practices flourish or fold. Workplace wellbeing interventions and events are a great starting point to build wellbeing both individually and collectively. The availability and use of more dental specific resources have greatly enhanced delivery of these interventions and events. This presentation aims to educate and empower dental professionals to prioritise their own wellbeing and cultivate a practice of team wellbeing using workplace health and wellbeing interventions and events. It should provide valuable insights into the impact wellbeing has on dental professionals, while offering practical and actionable interventions and event suggestions to improve the overall health and wellbeing for the dental profession.
