Workshop on Orofacial PainUnderstanding Orofacial Pain(This is a pre-requisite course for the SSG Course on Managing orofacial pain is often difficult due to the limited understanding of the subject. Simultaneously, the developments in associated fields during the last 20 to 30 years are isolated and not well-researched, making it a confusing topic. With the current understanding of orofacial pain, a comprehensive presentation will equip course participants with the working knowledge of the basic and clinical science of general and orofacial pain. This allows participants to develop competency in performing a thorough assessment of patients, including history taking and physical examination, recognising the related co-morbidities and formulating a management plan.

Restorative Workshop Series 3 (2nd Run)Managing Challenging Cases in Elderly PatientsThe prevalence of root caries has been shown to increase with age. Such cervical lesions are not easy to manage due to their location and proximity to the gingiva, making it challenging for preventive and restorative access. Many of the elderly patients also rely on removable prostheses to replace their missing teeth and restore their function. Careful considerations must be placed on the fabrication of dentures to ensure patient comfort and acceptance. Saturday, 29 June 2024 |

Motivational interviewing can be used to engage patients and shape effective patient education and behavioural change. Saturday, 1 June 2024 |

The course will allow them to provide an accurate diagnosis, recognise the more complex Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) pain conditions, and initiate referrals to appropriate experts in managing such patients. Hands-on practical assessment of the stomatognathic system will further their clinical skills in the management of patients in their daily clinical practice. The different treatment modalities, including interdisciplinary modalities will be discussed. The program adopts a biopsychosocial model for the diagnosis and management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Saturday, 6 April 2024 |
