Problem solving in Anterior and Posterior Composite Dentistry
Our successes in clinical Dentistry can be measured in several ways ranging from Patient satisfaction, longevity of result through to Professional recognition. However, how does it make us feel when things do not go right? What is the correct strategy for the good of the Patient when we get the clinical result that falls under par for clinical success? How is this defined in terms of Composite Dentistry and what are the common aspects that we all struggle with? Spread over two sessions, Andrew Chandrapal will explain the concept of “Snowball Dentistry” when it comes to Anterior and Posterior Composites and how we might spot the signs during our clinical workflows, what works and what does not. How do we spot issues occurring and how might we prevent this? Andrew will show examples of success and failure and what the cardinal differences were between the two. You will be surprised at how small some of these differences are and how easy they are to overcome.
Aims:
- To identify and relate to clinical complexities that can lead to unfavourable outcomes
- To be able to reflect on our clinical work and identify corrective strategies
- To apply corrective strategies with confidence leading to a reduction in failure

The Ethics Of Aesthetics
Catherine will be presenting an interactive presentation on ethical and legal considerations with respect to providing aesthetic and cosmetic dental procedures for patients in contemporary dental practice.
Aims: The aim of the session will be to consider the difference between morals, values and ethics. This will then lead to understanding professional ethics and how this should adapt our thinking and actions. We will explore the impact of body image and how this may affect the public’s view of treatment need and their desires.
Objectives: Exploring and understanding how we feel and think is critical for us to be able to consider treatment requests, or suggested treatment. As patient expectations alter over time, with an increased demand for more cosmetic treatment, we need to be prepared to have open conversations to make sure any treatment leads to the most appropriate outcome for the patient. The impact of body image can alter a patient’s desire for certain treatment and their expectations of what it will do for them. We need to be mindful of this in order to protect patients who are potentially vulnerable.
