Can we save the ‘unsavable’ teeth? What is the limit of periodontal treatment in 2020?

This webinar discussed how the latest advances in periodontal treatment have pushed the boundaries of what teeth affected by periodontitis can be retained. The session reviewed the definition of ‘hopeless’ tooth and described both non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

Novel biologic concepts underpinning periodontitis and response to periodontal surgery

This presentation highlighted the key biologic regulators of the junctional epithelium in health, disease and following periodontal and implant surgery. Drawing on the latest research, clinical implications of this knowledge were discussed.

3D Orthodontic Diagnosis
Webinars facilitated by Prof. Marie Cornelis and Assoc. Prof. Paolo Cattaneo
(University of Melbourne)

Transition from traditional to digital orthodontics: a burden or an advantage?

Traditional orthodontic diagnosis relies on two-dimensional images and plaster casts, with treatment outcomes heavily relying on clinical skills. Digital technology slowly made its way into the orthodontic world at the end of last century. Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) imaging and digital models only entered our clinics at the beginning of this millennium. Does CBCT technology improve our diagnostic performance? Can 3D digital treatment planning improve outcomes?

Digital workflows in orthodontics

This presentation highlighted the key biologic regulators of the junctional epithelium in health, disease and following periodontal and implant surgery. Drawing on the latest research, clinical implications of this knowledge were discussed.

Digital Planning for Aesthetic and Functional Success
Webinars facilitated by Drs Ingeborg De Kok, Wendy Clark, Renata Camino Navarro and Ibrahim Duqum (University of North Carolina)

Fundamentals of digital capture, planning and communication

Speakers reviewed the basic principles that guided the digital process and how it could be applied in the clinical dental practice. Particular emphasis was given to understanding the processes and indications of 2D and 3D digital smile design and effective digital communication strategies among the dental care team.

Clinical applications of digital dentistry in prosthetic, implant and cosmetic dentistry (patient-based presentations)

Speakers highlighted in, patient-based presentation format, how to employ function and aesthetic determinants in digital case planning. Furthermore, additive manufacturing (3D printing) and its incorporation in aesthetic diagnosis and planning were discussed, among other frequently utilised digital tools to better patient outcomes in prosthetic, cosmetic and implant dentistry.

Third Molar Surgery
Webinars facilitated by Assoc. Prof. Intekhab Islam, Drs. Raymond C.W. Wong and Lim Li Zhen (National University of Singapore)

The wisdom behind wisdom teeth surgery

This webinar reviewed the basic sciences, principles, surgical anatomy and techniques involved in surgical removal of the third molar. The webinar discussed the common complications that might occur with an overview of the updated evidence for management.
