Lecture 1: Oral Surgery for the General Dentist: A Simple and Predictable Approach to
Minimally Invasive Oral Surgery
With implant dentistry quickly becoming the standard of care, knowing how to extract a tooth to leave as much bony architecture
as possible is essential. This course will walk you step by step through proven and effective ways to remove teeth while causing
minimal trauma to the underlying bone.
Implant site preservation and development is the concept of maintaining the volume and architecture of both the soft and
hard tissues. It is critical to minimize tissue loss during extraction to conserve the natural tissue architecture for future implant
placement. Tissues should be preserved and maintained in their original forms as much as possible from the time of tooth
extraction to the placement of restoration. This course is designed for the novice and advanced clinician.
Upon completion of this presentation, you will be able to learn:
•
The minimally invasive tooth removal techniques and instrumentation.
•
Remove broken and difficult teeth with minimal flap.
•
Various incision and flap designs for optimal end result.

Lecture 2: Local Anaesthesia
Local anesthesia forms the backbone of pain control techniques in contemporary dental practice. The subject of pain control
in dentistry has undergone a recent renewal of interest, a renaissance of sorts.. A review of the spectrum of local anesthetics
available today with an eye towards the appropriate selection of a drug for ultimate success and patient safety, will be presented.
The techniques of pain control available, will be the major area of discussion. Profound anesthesia of the mandible is elusive
therefore the mandibular arch will, however, receive most of the attention, for it is here that most clinicians have occasional
problems in achieving successful pain control.
Dr Jeroff will troubleshoot mandibular anesthesia, reviewing the basic techniques and discussing a number of successful alternatives
such as the Gow-Gates mandibular block, Akinosi closed- mouth mandibular block, incisive nerve block and the PDL injection. New
items, such as The Wand and intraosseous technique (Stabident) will be discussed.
An important area of research has been the development of new drugs, both local anesthetics, such as articaine, as well as drugs
to reverse soft tissue anesthesia -- phentolamine mesylate; and buffering of local anesthetics -- producing a more rapid onset,
more comfortable injection and more profound anesthesia. These and other areas of current research into improving pain control
will be discussed.

Lecture : Advanced Digital Dentistry and Smile Design
Digital CAD/CAM in dentistry is here and gaining traction as the dental community begins to see the advances and benefits. In
this presentation, the advantages of Sirona CAD/CAM will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on aesthetic reconstruction of
the maxillary anterior teeth in improving smile and function. This lecture will be clinical and practical, demonstrating a range of
complexity, from single crown to multiple crowns; from single arch to full mouth restorative solutions. We will show how digital
dentistry will help the dentist achieve results using optical impressions, without the need of provisional crowns in one single visit.
The results are predictable, reliable and completed in a short time. In short, a complete ‘Extreme Smile Makeover’ in single day
or two.

Professor Hien Ngo
Dr. Ngo has extensive experience in private practice, research and education. He was the principal of a dental practice located in
the business district of Adelaide, with a staff of five, he delivered good dental care based on the philosophy of Minimal Intervention
over a period of 18 years.
Keynote
Speaker
As an educator, he has published and lectured extensively internationally on the dental materials, minimal intervention dentistry
and cariology. He serves on the editorial boards of several dental journals. Over the last 15 years, he has been very active as an
international speaker and have contributed to numerous major international meetings, e.g. FDI, Chicago Mid-Winter, IDEM, ADA
Congress, CDA. It is estimated that his courses have attracted over 20,000 participants.
In research, he is active in the areas of dental materials and cariology, he was appointed Visiting Research Fellow to the Adelaide
University in 1998, Research Director of the Colgate Australian Clinical Dental Research Centre, Adelaide University in 1999 and
Research Consultant of the centre and Associate Professor to the University of Adelaide in 2003. In 2007, he joined the National
University of Singapore as Associate Professor in the Dept. of Restorative Dentistry. He was invited to the University of Queensland

medically compromised patients and the interactions between the glass-ionomers and the oral environment.
He has been a technical consultant to several dental organisations and was co-inventor of several dental products.
Lecture 1: Minimal Intervention Dentistry: a patient-centered approach to managing
caries
Assessment of caries activity at the time of examination; determining which factors are most probably causing the activity; and
assessing the risk of a patient developing the disease in the future are all key steps toward the provision of good oral health care.
With such assessment it becomes possible to design a patient-centered non-surgical curative and surgical repair treatment to their
true needs. It has now been clearly demonstrated that individuals can, through such approach, benefit substantially because of
the substantial reduction in dental caries.
Lecture 2: Minimally Invasive Dentistry: Preservation and restoration of tooth
structure
The average life span of a direct tooth colored restoration is contracting to under 10 years while the life span of our patients is
extending beyond 80 years. Restorative materials currently available continue to improve however, they are still poor substitute
for natural tooth structure. Technological innovations in recent years have provided dental professionals with a host of new tools
to repair a cavitated tooth. Dental adhesive technology is evolving fast and it is now possible to apply the Minimally Invasive
techniques in most situations and to preserve the maximum amount of natural tooth structure.
Composite resin and GIC both play important role in the restoration of tooth structure, this lecture series aims to review the
technologies behind the latest developments of restorative materials and techniques and to guide clinicians on when to use what
as well as discussing how to achieve the longevity of the restorations and maintain pulp vitality.

Prize, Dr. Fu is the co-investigator in several research studies and has co-authored book chapters and numerous papers that were
published in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals. Her research interests lie in regenerative periodontics, implant site
development and implant esthetics
Lecture : Advances in Implant Bone Augmentation
As part of the healing process, significant horizontal and vertical changes in ridge morphology occur after the removal of a tooth.
This often results in a compromised residual ridge where bone augmentation is required in order to place a dental implant in the
ideal three-dimensional position with proper soft tissue thickness. Many techniques are available to augment an atrophic residual
ridge. This presentation will discuss various horizontal and vertical bone augmentation techniques and provide a guide to select
the most appropriate technique for individual case scenarios.

Lecture : Advanced Technologies in Interdisciplinary Treatment - An Orthodontic
Perspective
Complex restorative cases often require an interdisciplinary approach for optimized treatment outcome in aesthetics, form and
function. For the past decade, there has been increased awareness that an interdisciplinary approach may be best suited to
resolve complicated dental dilemmas. Recent innovations in technology such as Temporary Anchorage Devices (TAD’s), Clear
Aligner Therapy and one visit CAD-CAM restorations have revolutionized the treatment planning possibilities for patients presenting
with multiple dental issues requiring complex interdisciplinary treatment.
This lecture will discuss treatment planning, treatment sequencing and treatment execution in restorative cases requiring an
interdisciplinary approach. This will be illustrated with clinical cases demonstrating how pre-restorative orthodontics can facilitate
a better restorative outcome, preparing the single tooth implant site, how the evolution of TAD’s and clear aligner therapy has
revolutionized treatment. Finally, some restorative dilemmas and their solutions will be presented.

Keynote
Speaker
She also works in the university as a part-time clinical instructor teaching the dental undergraduates. She hopes to further pursue
her main interest in the areas of dental traumatology and in the treatment of the medically compromised patients.
Lecture : The Early Mixed Dentition – Why Bother?
The early mixed dentition phase is marked by the eruption of the first permanent molars and the exchange of primary incisors
with permanent incisors. The transition to the mixed dentition stage is often disregarded by parents and dentists unless there
are complaints of toothache or abnormal alignment of the teeth. However, delayed intervention may sometimes compromise the
prognosis of treatment. Dentists have a role in encouraging regular dental examination during this period since identifying some of
the dental problems at the beginning of the mixed dentition phase can help improve the outcome of treatment. This lecture aims to
discuss the common eruption and occlusion issues such as ectopic first permanent molars, anterior crossbite and delayed eruption
of the permanent incisors; as well as how early recognition and intervention of these problems may prove beneficial for the patient.
In the second half of the lecture, we will touch on molar-incisor hypomineralisation, an increasingly recognised dental condition
that can be detected with the eruption of the first permanent molars, and the various treatment options available for this problem.

Lecture: Taking The Dental Profession To The Next Level
The concept of professional and leadership brands are both developmental and useful for taking any profession including that
of dentistry to the next level to better serve the profession, the dental surgeon, the patients and the people at large. There are
tools to guide and measure success of any organisation led by capable leaders. Creating strategies, executing them, engaging the
existing talents within the profession and building the next generation of leaders within the profession are aspects that must be
given priorities. Ensuring that the leaders are self-proficient, who inspire loyalty and goodwill in others because they themselves
act with integrity and trust are extremely crucial. Such leaders are decisive and are capable of bold and courageous moves, and
follow rules about developing and increasing personal insight so that they model the change they want to see in others.
Every dental surgeon should be a leader in his own right. He should be a change leader who changes conditions for the better. It
is true that to improve is to change, but to be perfect is to change often.
A good leader is one who takes his institution somewhere else to the next level, and not just keeping the joint open. For this to
happen the leader should, on top of the points discussed above, have the courage to stand up and speak, and the courage to sit
down and listen. He is a team worker and a persuasive motivator. His team should have candor to speak their mind and not simply
be “yes men”.
The lecture will discuss in detail about ways of bringing the dental profession to the next level through good professional and
leadership brands.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of splinting during implant impression. Methods: A
master model with two fixtures at the sites of 45 and 47 was used. 20 impressions
were made for all four techniques: (A) indirect; (B) direct, unsplinted; (C) direct,
splinted; and (D) direct, splinted, sectioned, and re-splinted. Splinting was
undertaken with autopolymerizing acrylic resin (AAR). Horizontal distance between
fixtures was compared using a digital caliper. The difference in distance were
analysed with one-way ANOVA. Results: Group A showed a significantly lowest
accuracy among all techniques (p≤0.05). There was no significant difference of
accuracy among the groups using direct techniques (p≥0.05). Group D was more
accurate compared to group B and C. Conclusion: Splinting of impression copings
would be beneficial to obtain an accurate impression. Keywords: multiple implants
impression techniques, horizontal distance, splinting techniques. (Eur J Prosthodont
