How do your composites look? Are you interested in a simple, efficient technique to enhance your restorations? Style Italiano is a worldwide movement centred on simplifying the creation of beautiful composite restorations. Rather than focusing on complicated layering techniques and multiple colours, the Style Italiano philosophy involves using simple recipes of just two shades to create beautiful restorations which can be reproduced by dentists at all skill levels. Dr Dylan Yung in association with NZDA & 3M are delighted to provide an afternoon hands-on course to further understand & perform the Style Italiano technique as highlighted by Assoc. Professor Vargas at last years NZDA Conference. You will learn the following key components to successful anterior restorations: – Shade Selection – Cavity Design – Controlled Thickness Layering Technique – Finishing & Polishing

Common Occlusal Problems and Management of Tooth Wear in General Practice Recent evidence-based studies and review papers have seriously questioned traditionally held theories about the role of occlusion in restorative dentistry. Often dentists are left wondering whether occlusion has any real relevance at all. This situation is made all the more confusing because many patients seem to adapt to occlusal changes, which occur naturally over time, or which we introduce when we restore their dentitions. However, other patients do not adapt and this can lead to pain, tooth mobility, fractured teeth/restorations and excessive tooth wear. The presence of excessive tooth wear itself usually implies a hostile oral environment, in which occlusal forces are high and teeth and restorative materials are rapidly deteriorating. This new course discusses the management of the most common occlusal problems encountered in general practice and the main types of tooth wear. The hands-on classes demonstrate simple, practical techniques for recording, analysing and dealing with occlusal issues, including the restoration of worn teeth. Major Topics Common Occlusal Problems in Practice The Main Types of Tooth Wear Occlusal Splints Treatment Planning for Worn Dentitions Choice of Materials for Rehabilitation Composite Resin Build Ups Short Clinical Crowns Learning Objectives Diagnosis and management of occlusal problems and tooth wear in general dental practice Understanding parafunction and its effect on treatment planning and the choice of materials Further event information

Water fluoridation continues to be endorsed by the World Health Organisation and every leading medical, dental and scientific authority in Australia. So why there vehement opposition when water fluoridation is proposed in any town or city? Is opposition only from conspiracy theory fringe groups, or are there legitimate concerns about the effectiveness, safety and ethics of water fluoridation? What about the studies showing possible harms of water fluoridation? Even if effective, is water fluoridation ‘mass medication’, and should governments fluoridate water supplies if some residents object? With the widespread use of fluoride toothpastes and other topical fluorides, is water fluoridation still relevant in Australia? Are there better ways to reduce dental caries, particularly by targeting higher risk individuals? Presenters will answer all these questions using examples from water fluoridation campaigns in NSW and Queensland. Water fluoridation campaigns are the soap opera of public health in Australia. Not everyone will feel comfortable basking in the limelight of centre stage, but as health professionals we all have a role to play. Presenters will provide skills and knowledge for attendees to become stronger advocates for better oral health in our communities. Topics include Background to the introduction of water fluoridation in the US History of water fluoridation in Australia, including leadership role from NSW Water fluoridation decision making responsibility and the role of health professionals History of water fluoridation research and reviews into the effectiveness and safety of water fluoridation Opposition to water fluoridation, and how to respond to anti-fluoridation arguments Fluoride toothpastes and fluoride in the dental surgery Learning Objectives Provide evidence-based information on fluorides and water fluoridation to individuals, community groups and councils Confidently advocate better dental health for Australians Respond to anti-fluoridation arguments Recommend and appropriately use fluorides in the dental surgery Further event information

Accurate radiographs are essential to make a correct diagnosis, deliver positive treatment outcomes, assess long-term results and provide medico-legal protection. This course will look at the opportunities and challenges of 2D and 3D imaging. Conventional 2D images remain the mainstay of dental treatment with film, digital sensors or phosphor plate options. Digital systems used correctly reduce radiation exposure and the need for manual processing of traditional film. Software allows manipulation of images to enhance diagnostic quality. However, digital radiography presents clinical challenges due to the size and rigidity of the sensors in certain parts of the mouth. Managed incorrectly the advantages of digital technology can be negated. There are a confusing number of film/sensor holders and beam alignment devices on the market. This course will utilize two holders that operate across all 2D platforms and give you the results you need and want, including one of the most difficult procedures, an accurate endodontic image with rubber dam in place. 3D images provided by CBCT enhance diagnosis in complex cases. This is an exciting new addition to diagnostic imaging. Usage is increasing rapidly. However, CBCT is an added expense for the patient as well as additional exposure to radiation. How do you decide when CBCT is indicated? What are the best and easiest to use software programs? How do you interpret the information provided by the CBCT? This course will provide clear guidelines for this emerging technology. The ability to take accurate and reproducible 2D radiographs or digital images is a fundamental requirement for a successful dental practice. The objective of this part of the course is to demonstrate simple clinical techniques to achieve this aim for all teeth and under all clinical situations Attendees should be willing to try the recommended film holders on themselves and have the rubber dam applied for that part of the course dealing with endodontic treatment. 3D imaging is a new and exciting tool that improves diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this part of the course is to make you familiar with all aspects of this technology so you can decide how 3D can become part of your practice. Further event information
