Past Events

Digital technologies are increasingly shaping modern endodontic practice, offering enhanced diagnostic capabilities, procedural precision, and new opportunities for clinical efficiency. While tactile skill remains foundational, advancements such as cone beam computed tomography (CBСT) have redefined diagnostic imaging with regards to periapical pathosis and complex canal anatomies. Dental Magnetic resonance tomography (dMRI) has the potential for a relevant next step in diagnostics. Other emerging tools include Al-driven decision-making enhancement, 3D printed guides for minimally invasive access, and dynamic navigation systems that integrate CBCT data into real-time visualisation during procedures. These innovations-though currently not fully implemented even specialist settings-signal a shift toward more predictable and streamlined treatment planning and treatment.

Two-thirds of the world's population lack access to safe surgery, with 9 out of 10 people affected in Sub-Saharan West Africa. About 17 million die annually from preventable surgical conditions—more than from TB, malaria, and HIV/AIDS combined. In low-income countries, untreated tumors and deformities often lead to social ostracism and life threatening health issues. Venue: L9 Auditorium, Date: Mon, 26 May 2025 Their ships, including the newly launched Global Mercy, are staffed by volunteers committed to eradicating surgical inequities. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to provide free, world-class surgical care in West Africa, training local professionals and saving lives.

This lecture provides an overview of the molecular and microbial pathogenesis of periodontitis, emphasizing the roles of dental biofilm and host-related risk factors such as smoking and diabetes. It explores current treatment approaches, including mechanical and adjunctive chemical plaque control, and highlights the limitations of conventional therapies in achieving true tissue regeneration.

The BDS Class of 1985 marked their 40th Anniversary with a joyful gathering at NUS Faculty of Dentistry on 5 July 2025. The evening was filled with laughter and heartfelt reminiscing as classmates reconnected to celebrate four decades of friendship.

The BDS Class of 2010 reunited on 12 July 2025 at NUS Faculty of Dentistry for an evening filled with joy, nostalgia, and laughter. Attendees enjoyed a guided tour of the various facilities, including the L5 clinic and grad lab, L6 and L7 clinics, as well as the L9 Simulation Lab, reminiscing about their student days spent learning and growing together.

Professor Fitcher will conduct two lectures to discuss the scope of OMS in Germany and illustrate with clinical examples, as well as current and innovative ideas of oral and maxillofacial trauma will be discussed.
