IDA Annual Conference The Galmont Hotel | Galway | April 26-28, 2018

Making a splash New way. Old way. Galway.

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

FÁILTE ÓN UACHTARÁN

Dear Colleague, Fáilte go Gaillimh 2018.

Fáilte go Gaillimh 2018.

It gives me great pleasure to present the details of our Annual Conference 2018. We return to the ever-popular Galmont Hotel (formerly the Radisson Hotel) overlooking Lough Atalia in Galway from Thursday to Saturday, April 26-28. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Making a splash. New way. Old way. Galway’. I am very grateful to the members of our Conference committee (Drs Mairead Browne, Peter Gannon, Johanna Glennon, Paul Murphy and Judith Phelan, and Ms Elaine Hughes) who have worked hard to produce a comprehensive scientific programme. We are very fortunate to have some outstanding national and international speakers to present on a variety of topics. I am especially pleased to welcome world-renowned speakers such as Dr John Alonge (oral surgery) and Dr Marty Jablow (America’s Dental Technology Coach). We are also delighted to have well-known Irish speakers to present to us because of their proven track record in delivering high-quality research and clinically relevant presentations. Our pre-conference day represents a great opportunity to improve our clinical skills with courses from Prof. Trevor Burke (posterior composites), Drs Johanna Glennon and Paul McCabe (endodontics), Drs Eoin Fleetwood and Alastair Woods (implant overdentures), and Dr Phil Ower (periodontics). We will continue with the revised format of parallel sessions on Friday and Saturday, giving delegates great choice on which presentations they attend. 2018 will also see the continuation of a dedicated dental nurses’ programme. Friday afternoon will again be geared towards all dental team members. Dr Harry Barry will present on stress management and looking after one’s mental health, and the speaker not to be missed this year is Dr Hannah Shields, a dentist who was the first Northern Irish woman to conquer Mount Everest. Once again, we welcome the involvement of our dental trade colleagues, who will showcase the most up-to-date material, equipment and services at our trade show. Their presence and sponsorship allows us to put together a varied programme of speakers and to attract speakers from abroad. 2018 will see the reintroduction of the Annual GP Meeting, which will take place at 12 noon on Friday, April 27 – all GDPs are encouraged to attend. Our annual golf competition takes place on Wednesday and Thursday, April 25 and 26. Our Annual Dinner will take place on Friday, April 27 – all are welcome. Remember to include ‘Making a splash. New way. Old way. Galway.’ in your diary for 2018.

PRE-CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Successful posterior composites

SOLD OUT

THURSDAY APRIL 26 Prof. Trevor Burke

Hands-on | Lecture With the Minamata Agreement, signed in 2013, signalling the phasing down of amalgam while, at the same time, agreeing a ban on all other mercury-containing devices and products, it is essential that practising dentists become proficient in the placement of alternative restorative materials. While glass ionomer restorations can be placed as quickly as amalgams, their physical properties are not yet appropriate for large load-bearing restorations, leaving the only viable alternative at the present time to be resin composite. This course will discuss the theory of resin composite materials for posterior teeth and the potential problems and, in the hands-on session, will provide a basis for the successful placement of these materials in posterior teeth. Following attendance on this course, delegates should: n be aware of the Minamata Agreement and its implications; n be aware of the latest information on bonding to dentine and resin composite materials, including bulk fill; n know how to avoid the problems of polymerisation, contraction stress and postoperative sensitivity; n have knowledge of the literature on survival of posterior composite restorations; n be aware of optimum cavity design; n know the matrix systems that will achieve a firm contact point; and, n be aware of the additional uses of posterior composite restorations, such as cusp replacement.

Implant overdentures workshop

Drs Eoin Fleetwood and Alastair Woods Hands-on | Lecture

The 2002 McGill consensus and 2009 York consensus state that a two-implant overdenture should be the first choice of treatment for the edentulous mandible, taking into account performance, patient satisfaction, cost and clinical time. This treatment can take a patient from 10% function with a conventional denture to 60% function. This workshop will examine in detail the ease of use and benefits of locator-style attachment systems. Pick-up impressions of the attachment system and chairside conversion of a denture to an overdenture will be demonstrated. Upon completion of this workshop the attendee should be confident choosing and placing appropriate height abutments, followed by chairside processing of overdenture components into an existing denture.

Keeping endodontics simple and predictable

Drs Johanna Glennon and Paul McCabe Hands-on | Lecture

This course allows the practitioner to critically appraise their own endodontic skills with a problem-solving approach to key areas of root canal treatment. These key areas influence the ease at which treatment is carried out safely and effectively. Closer examination and attention to detail in each phase helps to develop a process where we anticipate and prevent problems rather than solve problems retrospectively. Most problems which develop during instrumentation relate to errors not recognised earlier in the treatment process. It is important that we are 'root canal ready' in the busy general practice environment. Microscopes will be used by attendees. Learning objectives The delegate will understand: n how to maximise the information yield from treatment radiographs; n how to complete isolation in difficult cases; n access cavity shape, design, and orifice location, and their impact on problems during instrumentation; n the importance of keeping our irrigation safe and effective; and, n keeping the general practice surgery 'root canal ready'.

Essentials of periodontics management for the dental team

Dr Phil Ower

(open to dentists and hygienists) Lecture Periodontal disease is described as a ‘silent disease’, and it can be easily missed without appropriate management protocols. In addition, we are having to look after more and more patients with implants. This full-day course is designed for dentists/ hygienists/teams, and will cover the essential aspects of periodontal and peri-implant management for the busy clinician in general practice. It will cover all aspects of perio management, for both teeth and implants, from diagnosis and assessment to non-surgical treatments, including antimicrobial use, the ‘when to refer’ question, and both tooth and implant maintenance. Learning objectives Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to: n screen for perio disease fast and effectively; n assess perio patients in detail; n diagnose periodontal and peri-implant disease effectively; n assess patients’ level of risk for periodontitis and peri-implantitis accurately; n formulate an appropriate management plan suitable for a general practice setting; and, n plan appropriate supportive care for perio patients and patients with implants.

PROF. TREVOR BURKE Professor, Primary Dental Care, and Consultant in Restorative Dentistry, University of Birmingham

Osteoporosis – treatment, side effects and dental-related complications Osteoporosis is a risk factor for fractures and the condition is common in the elderly, especially in women. Modern treatment protocols can improve the bone mineral density (BMD) and significantly reduce fracture risk. There are, however, side effects, and increasing numbers of cases of, for example, atypical femur fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw have been reported. This lecture will address the underlying pathogenic mechanisms behind osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures, treatment options, and how to identify and treat side effects of medication-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Medical emergencies in dental practice This lecture will present the rationale for taking a good medical history, as well as the importance of preventing medical emergencies from taking place. With a good understanding of a patient’s pre-existing conditions, many medical emergencies can be avoided. The management of medical emergencies will also be presented, including the drugs and equipment required.

Life after Minamata This presentation will look at what an amalgam replacement will look like, examining the pros and cons of the two main alternatives: resin composite and glass ionomer.

Differential diagnosis of oral lesions – an interactive presentation using audience response polling This programme is designed to increase the skills of both dentists and hygienists to successfully formulate a differential diagnosis to either treat or confidently refer.

The pragmatic approach to treatment of toothwear This presentation will describe: 1. The background to a contemporary method for treating teeth affected by tooth wear. 2. The optimum materials to use for bonding and restoration. 3. The clinical technique, its advantages and disadvantages.

DR EMILY CLARKE

MS SERPIL DJEMAL Consultant in Restorative Dentistry, King’s College Hospital, London

DR ALISON DOUGALL Consultant, Dublin Dental School and Hospital

A hard graft: an overview of the ‘when, why and how’ of bone augmentation This presentation will provide an overview of current concepts of particulate bone grafting for the general dentist. It will describe the bone remodelling process following extractions and the implications of this for aesthetics, potential implant sites, timing of implant placement and augmentation techniques. There will be an emphasis on the management of bone, and on the role of grafting. Upon completion of this lecture attendees should: understand the management of dental extractions at potential implant sites; and, understand the role of bone preservation and bone augmentation procedures in maximising aesthetics and success in prosthetic and implant dentistry today.

Tips for managing fractures and injuries Serpil will refresh participants’ knowledge on the management of dental fractures and luxation injuries, sharing useful tips and tricks for efficient and successful management. By the end of the lecture, participants will:

Strategies for providing care for patients with neurological disorders People with acquired and congenital neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy will commonly present to general dentists in Ireland. Before coming to Ireland, Alison worked in the Royal Neurological Rehabilitation Hospital in the UK for 10 years in a stroke and brain injury multidisciplinary rehabilitation team, and developed a special interest in this area. Her presentation will outline special management considerations, including risk assessment and treatment planning, tips and techniques for overcoming communication and clinical challenges, and post-treatment preventive strategies.

The implications of the Assisted Decision Making Act 2015 in a dental setting The Assisted Decision Making Act 2015 sets out guiding principles that are intended to safeguard the autonomy and dignity of the person with impaired capacity. There is a presumption that the person has decision-making capacity unless the contrary is shown. No intervention should take place unless it is necessary and unless all practical steps have been taken – without success – to help the person make the relevant decision themselves. The Act, once fully enacted, will have many implications for dental practitioners and how they treat certain patients.

How to be prepared: medical emergencies in a dental practice On completion of this presentation, participants will be able to: describe measures used in the prevention of common medical emergencies; recognise the signs and symptoms of common medical emergencies in the dental environment; understand the role of each member of the dental team in managing a medical emergency; outline the contents of an emergency kit and describe the use of medical emergency equipment; describe emergency preventive procedures and preparedness in the dental surgery; and, explain the importance of obtaining a pre-treatment health history from each patient.

DR JOHANNA GLENNON Practice limited to endodontics and Assistant Professor in Restorative Dentistry, DDUH

Dental Protection This lecture will look at ways of improving communication skills, enhancing skills in dealing with difficult situations and ultimately improving patient satisfaction.

Infection control in the dental surgery Infection control continues to be a major issue for all dental staff. Following recommended infection control procedures can prevent transmission of infectious organisms among patients and dental healthcare personnel. This lecture will discuss the reasons why infection control is important in dental practice. Attendees will learn about recent breaches of infection control in the dental community, modes of dental infection transmission and the length of time bacteria can live on inanimate surfaces, and standard precautions in dental practice. An update on relevant bloodborne infectious diseases and requirements for good infection control will also be covered.

Keeping endodontics simple and predictable This course allows the practitioner to critically appraise their own endodontic skills with a problem-solving approach to key areas of root canal treatment.

Digital dentistry: the basics on what you need to get started Learn how integrating digital technology into your clinical workflow can enhance the patient experience, deliver predictable, quality dentistry, and improve efficiency and productivity for your practice, while leaving a positive impression on your patients.

The changing face of orthodontics This presentation will examine the different modalities of treatment available to our patients today. With the ever-increasing number of adult patients seeking treatment, combined interdisciplinary treatment plans are needed more than ever. Remarkable results can be achieved when orthodontics is combined with maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics or periodontology for appropriate patients. The appearance of the appliances we use has also been brought more into focus. While this is understandable in the age we live in, the pursuit of excellence must be our goal in the quality of the treatment we provide. With the advent of advertising, it is important that the dental profession does not over promise and under deliver.

Pulping the pulp. Do we need to? This lecture will look at the indications for carrying out pulp cappings versus pulpotomies in traumatised teeth. It will review the current techniques and materials, compare the outcomes and review some of the current literature using clinical cases.

DR EAMON MURPHY Orofacial pain consultant, Cork

The Hall Technique – keeping dentistry for children simple! This presentation will cover the challenges of managing dental caries in the primary dentition, and in particular will focus on restoration of the primary molar. It will review the various possible treatment options, and will then focus particularly on The Hall Technique. It will also look at the concept of indirect pulp therapy.

Periodontal maintenance around dental implants (dental hygienists’ programme) After this presentation, those attending should have a good understanding of the importance of good oral health and proper maintenance around implant restorations. They will also be able to determine and measure the health of the tissues around these restorations, and be aware of the correct instruments and techniques to use during treatment.

Temporomandibular disorders: clarifying the issues The treatment of TMD has been defined exclusively in terms of symptom relief. Many treatments are offered but no cures have been found. Each dental discipline seems to have its own favourite approach that is specific to the discipline but not necessarily appropriate for the condition. What does the latest research tell us? Is there are a ‘one size fits all’ approach? Should we still be making splints? Are psychological factors at play?

Multidisciplinary treatment planning in advanced periodontitis This clinically focused presentation will cover the fundamentals of treatment planning for patients with advanced periodontal disease, from diagnosis to final prosthodontic restoration. It will review the factors involved in decision making and the role of both the dental team and the patient in this. It will propose a system of identifying teeth that can be relied upon for long-term success of prostheses in an environment where assigning an accurate prognosis is difficult. It will look at the role of implants in both the prosthetic restoration and in assisting in the maintenance of periodontally involved teeth. These concepts will be illustrated by clinical cases that have been treated by the Galway team.

DR MARY O'DONNELL Assistant Professor Infection Control, Dublin Dental School and Hospital Sharps injuries prevention in the dental healthcare environment At the end of this lecture participants will appreciate: 1. That the causes of sharps injuries vary widely. 2. That to decrease the risk of infections caused by sharps injuries, it is vital that all members of the dental team are educated about the risks associated with sharps injuries, the follow-up measures required and the procedures that must be in place where a sharps injury is likely to occur. 3. The types of sharps commonly found in a dental surgery and the control measures that should be put in place to prevent sharps injuries. 4. That there are devices suitable for reducing sharps risks in dentistry on the market. Some of these will be explained in more detail.

In perio management in practice, how much of what we do is based on sound evidence and how much is based on clinical observation, experience, training (maybe years ago) and dogma? This presentation will examine the differences between evidence and anecdote: how to tell them apart and how each can be used in a practice setting. And when you find evidence, how do you know it is any good? Where do you find it? The presentation will use as examples perio prognosis assessment and commonly used treatment techniques in perio management from self-care by patients to non-surgical treatment methods. Prepare to have your received wisdom challenged!

DR HANNAH SHIELDS Dentist and explorer

DR ALASTAIR WOODS

Limits exist only in our minds Ultra-marathon runner, explorer, mountain climber and dentist, Derry native Dr Hannah Shields was the first Northern Irish woman to conquer Mount Everest. Approaching her 50th birthday, Hannah took up the multidisciplinary sports of duathlon and triathlon, participating in a wide range of distances from sprint to ironman. She was successful in her new sport, resulting in selection to represent Ireland at international level. In April 2011 she was privileged to be honoured by the Nepalese Ambassador as Honorary Goodwill Ambassador to Nepal. Hannah will give a fascinating presentation on the physical and mental preparation needed to take on such challenges.

Implant overdentures workshop The 2002 McGill consensus and 2009 York consensus state that a two-implant overdenture should be the first choice of treatment for the edentulous mandible, taking into account performance, patient satisfaction, cost and clinical time. This workshop will examine in detail the ease of use and benefits of locator-style attachment systems. Pickup impressions of the attachment system and chairside conversion of a denture to an overdenture will be demonstrated. Upon completion of this workshop the attendee should be confident choosing and placing appropriate height abutments followed by chairside processing of overdenture components into an existing denture.
