Bronagh Keane

Smile Design

10:00- 16:00

The smile is the window to the soul providing our patients with the confidence to smile, speak and eat. Often unattractive smiles can be seen as aging, and there is a desire to rewind the clock. The smile doesn’t end at the teeth, it is a balancing act of managing ratios, proportions and recognising the relationship of the teeth with the soft tissues and bone remodelling. As there is an influx of aesthetic procedures, these factors are overlooked resulting in lower patient satisfaction. Speaker biography Hi my name is Bronagh. I am a cosmetic dentist based in Dublin. My passion is smile makeovers. I love to provide patients with this new found confidence while simultaneously educating patients on their dental health. I completed my undergraduate degree in Trinity College Dublin, followed by smile makeover courses and postgraduate diplomas from RCSI. To provide a full smile makeover service, I furthered my education in facial aesthetics and am now in a postgraduate program for facial aesthetics in the City of London Dental School.

Engineering Immediate Prototypes

Working in the dental field is certainly not an easy task, especially when dealing with implant dentistry. Planning and teamwork is the key to success, and in this team, the dental technician plays the major role of the engineer. Our role is to lay out the correct bases on which to develop the final product and we do this by creating a blueprint, also known as the prototype. During this presentation, Mr. Cucchiaro will discuss digital dentistry’s role in creating a prototype, the importance of creating a prototype, and how to construct a prototype, from the initial situation to the final device.

A Guide to Digitally Guided Implant Surgery

10:00- 16:00

Guided/navigated Implant surgery is nothing new in Implant dentistry but the digital revolution in dentistry that has occurred particularly over the last 10 years has taken guided implant surgery to a new level, making it easier for the Dentist to provide and ultimately a safer more predictable treatment for the patient. But with all new disciplines it is important to learn the principles of how to provide this treatment and to take baby steps initially before diving in at the deep end. In this presentation I hope to provide you some of those basic stepping stones for this evolving area of implant dentistry

Gemma Forsythe

People-centred Care – Patients with Additional Needs in General Dental Practice

10:00- 16:00

Although some additional support needs patients need to be seen in a ‘special care’ setting, it is not the case for all. Many of these patients can be seen in general practice and it is important for dental staff to make these patients’ visits as comfortable as possible. Before I became a dental nurse, I was a support worker in a care home for residents with mental health problems, autism, physical disabilities and learning disabilities. I think it is so important for the dental team to be aware of disabilities, especially those which are ‘hidden’. I aim to provide an insight into caring for these patients and making their dental visit as comfortable as possible.

Abigail Leonard

At the same time, it is important to understand how they completement traditional orthodontic principles and the value of treating with a hybrid approach. As the rate of development accelerates, we must remember that what is now “innovative” is likely to become “best practice” at some stage.
