Managing difficult cases and patient communication Half Day Lecture BRIEF Amongst the day-to-day appointments of most general dentists, there are certain scenarios which will create more stress or raise the blood pressure of the practitioner. This program looks at three scenarios and how to manage them. It also focuses on the importance of communicating with the patient during these situations in order to minimise negative outcomes.

TOPICS AND PRESENTERS Fixed prosthodontic scenario — loose implant crown Dr Andrew Flood A loose implant crown can have its origins in the three interfaces of implant dentistry: crown/abutment/fixture. An assessment and the rectification of the cause is only part of the problem. Managing the patient in a clear, transparent way with open communication will diffuse a potential problem patient; honesty is always the best policy. Emergency management of facial swellings Dr Sam Verco This presentation covers the key features to look for when a patient presents with a facial swelling. Which cases can be managed in the dental clinic, how these patients should be managed in your clinic? It includes some interesting case presentations and how they can be managed and mismanaged. Endodontic scenario — broken file Dr Michael Yoon The dreaded moment when you realise that the file has fractured. What should you do next? What should you say? How should you say it?
