Anthony Roberts Professor of Restorative Dentistry (Periodontology) Dental School & Hospital Ireland
Thoughts on survival - life, restorations and teeth
- Aims and objectives:
-
In the background of the coronavirus pandemic, which puts little other than life and death into perspective, it might not be easy to see beyond the current crisis. However, there will be a time when dentists and their patients will again worry about how long the restorations placed in their teeth will last, and, arguably, more importantly, how the restorations which they receive will affect the lifespan of their teeth.
This presentation will therefore aim, using results from a 10 million restoration dataset, to predict the effect that given restorations will have a more profound effect on the life of the tooth than others.
At the end of the presentation, the listener will:
- Be aware of the value of choosing the correct, high-quality material for a given clinical situation
- Be aware that some restoration types may adversely affect the life of the restored tooth
- Be aware of the patient and dentist factors which may affect the survival of restorations and the restored tooth.
- Be aware that longevity of the restored tooth, as opposed to merely the survival of the restoration, is most important.
-
A pragmatic approach to treatment of erosive tooth wear
- Aims and objectives:
-
Tooth wear, in the past, was treated by gross destruction of teeth using a turbine drill for crown preparations – a strange way to treat teeth which were already compromised! However, substantial advances in bonding techniques have enabled the use of minimally invasive treatment using composite resin bonded to worn surfaces at an increased OVD. This presentation will discuss the optimum bonding agents for this treatment, the so-called Dahl concept, how to achieve an aesthetic improvement where needed (the concept of pragmatic aesthetics), and will indicate the rates of success which might be expected.
At the end of the course, delegates will:
- Be aware of the bonding agents which will optimise performance
- Know the principles behind bonding composite to worn teeth at an increased OVD
- Be aware of the potential for success of the proposed treatment and the factors influencing that
- Be introduced to the concept of “pragmatic aesthetics”
Learning Outcome
By the end of this webinar, delegates will be able to enhance patient care by attaining an increased awareness of contemporary methods of restoring worn teeth.
