A
unique opportunity to strengthen your knowledge and develop new set
of clinical skills.
Course
Summary
This
2-day course will give candidates an insight into the aetiology of
tooth wear and its management. The lectures will help candidates to
appreciate and understand the occlusal implications when changing the
occlusal schemes for patient with significant tooth wear. Key
differences are exist between localised and genearlised tooth wear,
therefore the opportunity of having hands-on training will give
candidates the opportunity of better understanding of these
differences. The hands on training will help candidates to enhance
their clinical skills in the management of localised and generalized
tooth wear and acknowledge the principles of Dahl concepts in the
management of localised tooth wear.
Aims
and Learning objectives
Nowadays
people are living longer and retaining most of their teeth to a later
stage of their lives. Healthy individual and aged population,
however, seem to start experiencing new trend of dental disease apart
from the well-know primary disease caries and periodontitis. Tooth
wear and loss of tooth tissues due to physiological, pathological or
iatrogenic aetiological factors may present some challenges to GDPs
in terms of diagnose and management at the Primary dental care
setting. Therefore by the end of this course candidates will be able
to:
1-
Critically appraise the published evidence in relation to tooth
wear.
2- Develop better understanding of the aetiology and
management of different types of tooth wear cases. .
3- Discuss
and put forward a comprehensive assessment algorithm as part of a
holistic treatment planning approach.
4- Develop set of clinical
skills, which are needed for effective management of localized and
generalized tooth wear.
5- Have a better insight and understanding
of potential risks factors and problems associated with different
treatment modalities.
