What’s the current evidence and practice in the diagnosis and management of enamel hypomineralisation Molar hypomineralisation (MH) is a disturbingly common developmental condition that affects the primary and permanent dentitions of 1 in 6 children worldwide. Severe forms of hypomineralisation may cause significant distress to children (e.g. toothache, decay, or “ugly teeth") and reduce their quality of life. Parents may also be upset, leading them to search for answers about causes of this condition and the best treatment for their child. Deciding on the management of hypomineralised teeth may involve a difficult choice between options that carry a high burden of care for the child. Such choices commonly range from placing sealants, to restoring affected teeth, to extractions followed by "drifto-dontics" or orthodontics. Sometimes extraction of hypomineralised molars, and even perfectly healthy opposing teeth, might be the "plan with the least overall burden". Find out all you need to know from people who see, treat and research enamel hypomineralisation every day. As will be illustrated with well-documented clinical cases hear about short- and long-term treatment planning that can save years of continual dental treatment and various public health opportunities you never knew existed. What’s the latest information we can give patients, about causes management, even prevention. This interdisciplinary presentation (involving paediatric and orthodontic specialists and a translational scientist) will update you about the latest MH research relating to clinical management, the public health and social impacts of MH, and future prevention of this costly condition.

- Mike Hubbard is a Professorial Fellow in Oral and Facial Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia. After his BDS at Otago, Mike did a PhD in biochemistry leading to a biomedical research career. He later moved to Melbourne to establish a "translational" network of dentists, doctors and scientists addressing medico-dental problems in children. A major outcome was The D3 Group, an international initiative focussed on Molar Hypomineralisation and other D3s (developmental dental defects). To help "translate" research advances into social good, Mike has introduced a public awareness campaign (chalkyteeth.org), authored a children's storybook about Molar Hypomineralization and developed a world-first online education resource for D3s (thed3group.org). - Peter Barwick is an orthodontist in Auckland. After his BDS at Otago, Peter did a Masters degree and orthodontic certification at the University of Washington in Seattle. His research measured human pulpal blood flow during and following the application of intrusive orthodontic force. He then moved to Sydney for six years, working in private practice and teaching. He moved back to NZ in 2000 to work at the cleft palate unit at Middlemore Hospital, later returning to full time private practice. Peter is a past president of the NZ Association of Orthodontists and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. - Arun Natarajan obtained his BDS from India and his Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry (Paediatric Dentistry) from the University of Otago, New Zealand. He then joined the Hospital Dental Service at Christchurch Hospital as a specialist paediatric dentist before moving to Melbourne to work as a senior registrar trainee for six months at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Currently, Arun works as Consultant Paediatric Dentist at the Hospital Dental Service, Christchurch. Arun has presented in several conferences and meetings both at national and international level and his research looked at the effect of resin infiltration in hypomineralised enamel using Raman Spectroscopy. Arun has recently been elected as president-elect for the NZ branch Australia and New Zealand Society of Paediatric Dentistry (ANZSPD).

A practical look at the everyday issues you face and how to choose from the many different options available to us today. Due to the enthusiasm with which everyone received David’s expert knowledge at the 2018 NZDA Conference, we are delighted that with the support of 3M, we are bringing him back to NZ for a full day lecture. David will discuss the many different factors which affect our decision making: the tooth, the dentition, occlusion, longevity and the patient. Despite the enormous advances in the last few years, dentine bonding remains problematic for almost every dentist. Science will be merged with practice in order to make your next bonded restoration, direct or indirect; better, easier and less stressful. Armed with all the latest information about the techniques and materials that are supported by the available research, David uses a practical approach to simplify complex problems. His ultimate objective is that when you return to your practice you will immediately be able to apply what you have heard and seen. But most of all, he insists that you have an enjoyable day.

When it’s time to sell their practice, many dentists delay putting their practice on the market, due to little understanding of the value of what they are selling and how to prepare their practice for sale, as well as the fear of loss of identity post sale. This course will teach you the steps and processes involved in selling your practice, and how to prepare your practice for sale in your final years, in order to optimise the result, to get you the best price and conditions and enable you to exit on your terms. Course Topics: — Exit planning. How do you get your practice ready to sell? — Various exit strategies, including walk-in walk-out, the incremental sale, sell and stay on and grandfather options. — Succession planning. What you need to do now to prepare (and how do you manage the transition to retirement). — Valuing your practice. What is the value in your dental practice and how to quantify the value. — Effective strategies for transferring patients effectively from seller to buyer. — What to do next post sale. Volunteer dentistry, locum, structure working part-time or retire. — Understanding what you are selling. — Does your current structure provide for succession? — Valuing your practice. What is the value in your dental practice and how to quantify the value.
