Professionals stay up-to-date with Oral-B seminar
More than 200 dental profes- sionals were in attendance at the latest Oral-B Up to Date Seminar held at the Edinburgh Conference Centre at Heriot- Watt University recently. Hosted by British Dental
Journal editor-in-chief Dr Stephen Hancocks, the event saw presentations from Professor Ian Chapple and Prof Avijit Banerjee. Prof Chapple got proceedings under way with his talk, enti- tled 'What if...? Care pathways or scare pathways?' His presentation covered
risk assessment and how dental professionals can measure risk in practice. He went on to discuss wellness models
of care and illustrate a light- touch risk-based approach to oral health assessment that has received excellent feed- back from primary care pilot practices outwith the NHS (published autumn 2013 in the BDJ). He then discussed risk factors for periodontitis, per- implantitis and periodontitis as a risk factor for systemic diseases. He was followed on to the
stage by Prof Avijit Banerjee who spoke about the advances that have been made in those operative technologies used in the dental surgery that complement the mini- mally invasive (MI), tooth preserving approach to caries
management. He outlined the development in those tech- nologies available to detect and diagnose caries lesions in patients more objectively. He then discussed the scien-
tific and clinical evidence about the use of more selective operative caries excavation techniques promoting the biological approach to conserving tooth structure and so maintaining pulp vitality in carious teeth.
