Promising to educate and inspire every member of the dental profession, The Dentistry Show 2014 returns for another exciting two-days at the NEC in Birmingham.
World-class lecturers will dominate the Hygienists & Therapists Symposium by speaking on informative and motivating topics. Among them is Professor Avijit Banerjee. He is Professor of Cariology and Operative Dentistry at King’s College London Dental Institute at Guy’s Hospital and a Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at the Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London and will speak on ‘Preventing Dentistry “MI” Way: The Team Care Approach’.
He says, “I am lecturing about the roles of dental care professionals, namely hygienists and therapists, in the care framework of minimum intervention dentistry. I will focus on identifying problems with patients through risk assessment and developing patient-centered pragmatic prevention regimes that are achievable by the patient, with the professionals' help. I will show how administration of remineralising agents and practising non-operative prevention is the key to successful long-term oral health maintenance, and how the future, developing role of the dental team must not be under-estimated.”
Avijit believes the whole team has a vital role to play in MI dentistry and that modern dental practice should not be underrated. “The whole team can take away an understanding of the term MI Dentistry and where they fit in to the MI care plan framework. I hope delegates will also garner a better appreciation of the methods used to detect and diagnose dental disease, specifically caries in this instance. In addition I will speak about risk assessment and working with the dentist, developing and appreciating the pragmatic prevention programme for the individual patient, playing to their strengths and behaviour changes.”
To end the inspirational lecture programme a panel of experts will lead a discussion on the impact of Direct Access, one year on from when the changes took place. This is an excellent chance for delegates to voice their opinions, share their thoughts and ask any questions.
Also brand new to 2014, delegates can sample the latest products and techniques in the exciting four hands-on workshops situated across the trade floor. Delegates can also seek professional advice and support from representatives of governing bodies in the Professional Hub. Throughout the whole weekend delegates can top-up their vCPD within the various lecture streams and particularly within the new and improved CORE CPD Theatre. And to round off the first day, delegates are invited to join the organisers, exhibitors and supporting organisations at Heart Your Smile’s “Circ de Sourire” – a vintage night of fun and fundraising.
For the first time The Dentistry Show is running alongside Dental Technology Showcase at the NEC in Birmingham on Friday 28th February and Saturday 1st March 2014. The collaboration of the two events is sure to provide excellent networking opportunities for the whole dental team.
