This will be a presentation of real evidence much published by the speaker in the international literature. By accepting evidence, all clinicians can be empowered to make logical and sound treatment decisions, allowing them to then take long-term responsibility for their actions.
Patients often claim multiple allergies, especially to antibiotics and local anaesthetics, but they are often wrong. Geraldine will explain how to get the real story about your patients’ allergies and how to manage them.
Good dentists remove all caries? Professor David Manton The difficult decision about when to make that initial restorative entry into the tooth is then followed by the decision of how much enamel and dentine should be removed before a restoration is placed, and will the decisions you have made affect the prognosis of the health of the pulp. These issues will be discussed in the context of the most recent evidence.
