Dear Colleague

Welcome to Galway 2016.

The Annual Conference goes west in 2016 and back to the ever-popular

city of Galway. The Conference will take place from Thursday to Saturday,

April 21-23, at the Radisson Hotel, and will feature a host of national

and international speakers.

The theme of this year’s event is ‘Dentistry into the Future’. The

scientific programme will highlight many new and emerging ideas within

dentistry, and there will be much discussion on how dentistry will look in

the next five to ten years. I look forward to hearing world-class speakers

from far and near covering areas of significant interest to you and your

dental team.

I am particularly pleased to welcome such well-known speakers as Dr

Charles Goodacre (USA), Dr Pat Cleary (IRL), Professor Tara Renton (UK),

Dr Bob Genco (USA), Dr Patrick Palacci (France), Dr James Mah (USA),

and Professor Mike Lewis (UK). We are also fortunate to have well-known

Irish speakers who have been invited to present to us because of their

proven track record in delivering high-quality research and clinically

relevant presentations.

Our pre-conference courses represent a great opportunity to improve

our clinical skills with courses from Dr Charles Goodacre (restorative

dentistry), Dr Pat Cleary (endodontics) and Dr Paddy Crotty

(composites). This year we have introduced a dedicated practice course

for the dental team. This course is divided into short modules,

including infection control, equipment maintenance, medical

emergencies and radiology.

I am particularly delighted to have the world-renowned explorer and

writer Tim Severin speak to us about a journey into the new world.

CyberPsychologist Professor Mary Aiken, whose work spawned an

international TV series, will stimulate us with a presentation on the

virtual world.

As every year, the dental trade show will showcase new and advanced

products, equipment and technology from the dental industry. All

members of the dental team will have the opportunity to discuss these

new products and services with our trade colleagues.

As the IDA is the leading provider of CPD in Ireland, all lectures,

presentations and workshops will be CPD certified.

Our social programme will include our annual golf competition, our 5K

fun run, and the highlight of the conference is our Annual Dinner, which

takes place on Friday, April 22.

A busy, vibrant and exciting city, Galway offers visitors the very best in

hospitality to create the ideal location and atmosphere for our 2016

Conference. Be sure to put the dates in your diary now – April 21-23,

2016.

I am really looking forward to seeing you at ‘Dentistry into the Future’.

canal treatment or be extracted and replaced with a dental implant or a conventional fixed partial denture.

Objectives:

Following this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Identify the factors that should be considered when determining whether to perform root canal treatment or extract a tooth and

place an implant or fixed partial denture.

2. Compare the clinical survival rates of each treatment modality.

3. Compare root canal treatment and dental implants based on biologic factors, associated procedures required, cost, aesthetics,

and psychosocial factors.

Afternoon: The most critical factors related to the restoration of endodontically treated teeth

Dr Nick Armstrong, Dr Jane Renehan and Ms Siobhan Carrigan Since April 2015, a new Code of Practice in Infection Prevention and Control by the Irish Dental Council has been

in place. With this in mind, the IDA is offering practical hands-on infection control workshops for all dental team

members.

With support from Henry Schein, a full decontamination unit will be in situ and delegates will be walked through

the entire process. A detailed explanation will be provided of good practice in equipment layout in the decontamination area, with guidance on testing and

essential documentation, all linked with the new Code. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions on specific areas of concern. It is the responsibility

of all dental practitioners to ensure that their dental surgery is compliant with the new Code of Practice.

B: Water quality including amalgam separators Ms Fiona HeaveyWith the support of DMI, the second workshop will cover water quality. Dental unit waterlines must be

maintained regularly to deliver water of an optimal microbiologic quality. The source and quality of water being

used in dental practices must be monitored and procedures put in place to prove that regular checking is carried

out. In addition, there are requirements on dental practices to ensure that waste water leaving the premises

meets certain criteria, most especially with respect to the use of amalgam separators.

C: Oral radiology Dr Brendan FanningIntra-oral radiography

1. Correct use of film/sensor holder with paralleling technique for intra-oral dental radiography.

3. Instructions to the patient to maximise potential for a good image.

Synopsis: This workshop will cover most aspects of the clinical audit. Technique selection and x-ray equipment will be covered, with a hands-on

demonstration of the paralleling technique in intra-oral radiology and correct positioning for dental panoramic radiology. Dose optimisation will be discussed.

The workshop will also incorporate image quality, image interpretation and training.

Learning objectives: The attendee will be able to identify common faults in x-ray images and improve their diagnostic yield by using correct positioning of

film/sensor and patient. The patient dose will be optimised.

WORKSHOP 2: MEDICAL EMERGENCIES – MORNING OR AFTERNOONHalf-day course – 9.30am-1.00pm or 2.00pm-5.30pm Recognition and management of medical emergencies in the dental practiceThis workshop is designed to update dental professionals on how to manage patients presenting with a medical/cardiac emergency while awaiting the

ambulance service. It will address what medical emergency drugs are required and how these drugs are prepared and administered. Delivery will be provided

PRE-CONFERENCE PROGRAMME THURSDAY APRIL 21

HEALTHCARE COMPLIANCE IN THE DENTAL SETTINGThere has been a significant increase in how regulatory bodies with responsibilities for general healthcare settings are impacting on dental practice.Standards set by organisations such as HIQA, the Office of Radiological Protection (EPA), the Health Protection Surveillance Centre, etc., cannot bedisregarded by general practitioners, as many regulators have the power of inspection. These half-day workshops will deal with the most frequently askedcompliance queries that have been received by IDA House in recent months.

MARY AIKENDirector, CyberPsychology ResearchCentre

The psychology of cyberspace

CyberPsychology is the study of the impact of

emerging technology on human behaviour –

Mary will discuss her research in this area,

ranging from cyberchondria, to organised cyber

crime, to virtual reality treatment of PTSD.

NICK ARMSTRONGFormer principal dental surgeon, HSE, and member of the IDA’s Quality andPatient Safety Committee

Infection prevention and control

Since April 2015 a new Code of Practice in

Infection Prevention and Control by the Irish

Dental Council has been in place. With this in

mind, the IDA is offering practical hands-on

infection control workshops for all dental team

members. With support from Henry Schein, a

full decontamination unit will be in situ and

delegates will be walked through the entire

process. A detailed explanation will be provided

of good practice in equipment layout in the

decontamination area, with guidance on testing

and essential documentation, all linked with the

new Code. There will also be an opportunity to

ask questions on specific areas of concern.

CONOR BARRYConsultant Maxillofacial/Head & Neck Cancer Surgeon,National Maxillofacial Unit, St James’s Hospital Dublin/Dublin DentalUniversity Hospital

Oral cancer diagnos is and treatment today Conor will discuss the challenges faced by the

reconstructive surgeon dealing with defects in

the head and neck secondary to cancer ablation

and trauma, and outline some of the changes

that have improved outcomes.

MARIELLE BLAKEConsultant Orthodontist, HSE, St James’sHospital, Dublin

Interceptive orthodontics

This lecture will give an overview of the

orthodontic examination of a young patient. We

will discuss what a clinician should be looking

for at the various dental stages and the

identification of present or future orthodontic

issues. The diagnosis of the developing canine

position will be demonstrated. Appropriate

interceptive orthodontic measures will be

discussed.

FRANK BURKESenior Lecturer/Consultant, RestorativeDentistry, University College Cork

Managing the older patient

The population’s structure is changing, with an

increase in the older cohort. Frank will present

an outline of the changes in oral health and the

clinical presentations of disease. Alternative

modes of treatment and strategies for the

delivery of oral care for the older population will

be explored.

DERMOT CANAVANPractice limited to orofacial painmanagement, private practice, andLecturer in the Dublin Dental UniversityHospital

Emerging issues in local anaesthesia and

pain control in dentistry

Historically we have been dependent on the use

of local anaesthetic (LA) to provide painless

dentistry for our patients. But there are

limitations to the use of LA. These limitations

may reflect the nature of the LA drug or

technique used, or possibly be associated with

the unusual nature of the pain itself. The

presentation will focus predominantly on

problems that arise in general dentistry, and will

review progress in our understanding of LA and

orofacial pain.

Infection Prevention and Control by the Irish

Dental Council has been in place. With this in

PAT CLEARYPractice limited to endodontics, Dublin

Retreatment or extraction?

When a root canal treatment is not successful it

is important to recognise why treatment has

failed. If it is possible to overcome deficiencies

in treatment and if the tooth can be restored

following retreatment then a successful

outcome can be achieved. An extraction may be

a better option in some cases. This presentation

will look at when to choose which option.

Five keys to clinical success

Pat will present the endodontic journey through

access, glide path management, shaping,

disinfection and filling. Focus will be on treating

root canal systems, while maximising remaining

tooth structure.

PADDY CROTTYRestorative dentist, Dublin

Composites: how do we get the best results

in practice?

This presentation will explore many of the

factors that ensure that composite restorations

will be durable and highly aesthetic. It will

consider modern concepts and research to

ensure predictable bonding and examine

material selection for difficult clinical scenarios,

including bulk fill materials for the posterior

region. The lecture will be illustrated by many

clinical examples demonstrating the versatility

of composite as a material for restoring the

worn dentition and enhancing some

orthodontic cases. The general theme will be

one of a conservative approach to large

restorations leading to fewer full coverage and

post-retained restorations.

PAUL DOWLINGPD Ceramics

Educating our way to bridging the gaps

Paul will share his knowledge and help

delegates to become aware of role of the

dental technician and laboratory service in

Ireland today. The presentation will highlight

the importance of education, customer

relationship management (CRM) and service

quality (SERVQUAL) in the business, along with

their journey through recession, competition

from foreign laboratories, and the financial and

marketing decisions needed to futureproof an

industry already struggling to see graduates

enter the profession. Finally, it will highlight the

importance of further education in the

retention of skills, and how best to embrace

new technological and material advancements

that are changing the industry.

BRENDAN FANNINGGDP, Wicklow and Dublin

Oral radiology workshops

This workshop will cover most aspects of the

clinical audit. Technique selection and x-ray

equipment will be covered with a hands-on

demonstration of the paralleling technique in

intra-oral radiology and correct positioning for

dental panoramic radiology. Dose optimisation

will be discussed. The workshop will also

incorporate image quality, image interpretation

and training. Attendees will be able to identify

common faults in x-ray images and improve

their diagnostic yield by using correct

positioning of film/sensor and patient. The

patient dose will be optimised. A handout will

aid attendees in carrying out a clinical audit.

GARRY FLEMINGSenior Lecturer in Materials Science, Head of Materials Science Unit, School of Dental Science, Trinity College Dublin

Dental materials for the present

and the future

The dental market is replete with ‘new’

restorative materials marketed on the basis of

novel technological advances in materials

chemistry, bonding capability or reduced

operator time and/or technique sensitivity. This

presentation will highlight how the marketing

of these materials rather than their

technological advances are the main driver for

launching ‘new’ or re-packaged variants of

existing materials onto the dental market.

BOB GENCOSUNY Distinguished Professor of OralBiology and Microbiology, Vice Provost,University at Buffalo Office of Science,Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach

Risk factors in periodontal disease:

an update

This presentation will discuss the evidence

supporting the modification of systemic risk

factors as an important component in the

prevention and treatment of periodontal

disease.

The periodontal systemic link

Periodontal disease has been linked to a wide

range of conditions. The epidemiologic evidence

for these associations, and the studies of the

mechanisms that may help explain them, will be

addressed in this presentation.

CHARLES GOODACREProfessor of Prosthodontics, Loma LindaUniversity School of Dentistry, California

Which treatment is best?

This presentation will discuss the scientific and

clinical factors used to determine whether a tooth

should be replaced through root canal treatment

or extracted and replaced with a dental implant

or a conventional fixed partial denture.

Computer-aided engineering of complete

dentures and implant prostheses

A review of the current status of clinical and

technical procedures.

Incisal migration of soft tissue around teeth

and implants

Producing incisal migration of soft tissue around

single crowns on natural teeth and implants.

FIONA HEAVEYClinical manager and dental nurse, Dublin

Water quality including amalgam separators

Dental unit waterlines must be maintained

regularly to deliver water of an optimal

microbiologic quality. The source and quality of

water being used in dental practices must be

monitored and procedures put in place to prove

that regular checking is carried out. In addition,

there are requirements on the dental practices

to ensure that waste water leaving the premises

meet certain criteria, most especially with

respect to the use of amalgam separators.

MARY FREDA HOWLEYPrivate practice limited to endodontics andendodontist in the Trauma Clinic, DDUH

Trauma management

This is a case-based presentation outlining the

importance of accurate diagnosis, appropriate

treatment and follow-up in trauma cases. The

rationale and evidence for the management of

complications and the timing of clinical

decisions will be highlighted. The endodontic

cases discussed were further complicated by a

past history of trauma.

KEVIN LEWISDirector, Dental Protection

DPL: what is coming down the tracks

Having worked in the dento-legal world for over

25 years – much of that time internationally –

one cannot fail to be struck by the contrasts in

the professional working environment over time,

and between different parts of the world. This

presentation will explore the evolving challenges

and discuss what works well and what doesn’t. It

will also look at the past, the present and future

prospects for the world of dentistry.

MICHAEL LEWISProfessor of Oral Medicine, School ofDentistry, Cardiff University

The impact of systemic disease

on the mouth

The mouth has sometimes been referred to as

‘the window on the body’, in that changes in the

mouth can reflect disease at other sites. This

lecture will provide a highly illustrated guide to

changes within the orofacial tissues associated

with a range of disorders.

Medications and their effect on the oral cavity

An increasing percentage of the population take

medication for a range of medical reasons. This

lecture will provide a highly illustrated guide to the

ways in which drug therapy can produce oral

ulceration, lichenoid reactions, discolouration,

blistering and reduced salivary flow.

JANE RENEHANPrincipal Dental Surgeon,

HSE Dublin North City

Infection prevention and control

There has been a significant increase in how

regulatory bodies with responsibilities for general

healthcare settings are impacting on dental

practice. Standards set by organisations such as

HIQA, the Office of Radiological Protection

(EPA), the Health Protection Surveillance Centre,

etc., cannot be disregarded by general

practitioners, as many regulators have the power

of inspection.

These half-day workshops will deal with the most

frequently asked compliance queries that have

been received by IDA House in recent months.

TIM SEVERIN

The Brendan Voyage

The 6th century Atlantic voyage of St Brendan

is the most tantalising of sea legends. Could Irish

monks sailing boats of leather have reached

North America nearly a thousand years before

Columbus? Tim and his crew put the possibility

to the test by setting out in a small open boat

made of oxhides to follow the ‘stepping stone

route’ by way of the Hebrides, the Faroes,

Iceland and along the coast of Greenland. The

vessel was constructed only of materials

available in St Brendan’s day. The crew survived

storms, fog banks and a collision with pack ice.

Welcomed by seafaring people wherever she

touched land, the Brendan finally reached

Newfoundland after a journey that has become a

classic of maritime exploration and adventure.

MICHAEL O’SULLIVANAssociate Professor/Consultant inRestorative Dentistry, Dublin DentalUniversity Hospital

Managing the hypodontia patient for

optimum results

This lecture will describe the current

management of patients with hypodontia at the

Dublin Dental University Hospital. Aspects of

planning, treatment decision making and

multidisciplinary management will be presented.

PATRICK PALACCIBrånemark Osseointegration Center inMarseille

Precision in implant placement

Implants have long been considered an anchorage

for fixed restorations, allowing edentulous

patients to recover function. Nowadays, there is

also an aesthetic function. Aesthetic success is

related to optimal management of hard and soft

tissues, prosthetic reconstruction and the

precision of implant positioning.

Hard and soft tissue management in

implant dentistry

Reconstruction of hard and soft tissues is one of

the main factors for optimal aesthetics. The latest

concepts in bone and soft tissue augmentation

will be presented, as well as optimal treatment for

severe and complicated aesthetic cases.

TARA RENTONProfessor in Oral Surgery, King's College London Dental Institute,and President, British Association OralSurgery

Third molar surgery in practice

The objective of this lecture is to update

delegates in current issues and solutions in third

molar surgery.

Avoiding complications in oral surgery

in practice

The objective of this lecture is to provide

delegates with an understanding of the risks

and complications related to oral surgery and

how to minimise them. Common complications

including pain, dry socket, nerve injury and

haemorrhage are mainly avoidable with suitable

risk assessment.
