Featured Products Promotional FeaturesPosted by: Dental Design 1st July 2021
Are you hungry for exceptional dental education delivered in-person by some of the profession’s most renowned speakers? The BACD is gearing up to sate your appetite for shared learning with what promises to be another thought-provoking Annual Conference. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to advance your skills and knowledge via face-to-face lectures and hands-on workshops, adhering to the latest social distancing guidelines and infection control measures.
Dental professionals have a great deal to look forward to at the Annual Conference 2021, including an exciting workshop by Dr Anthony Mak, exploring “Aesthetics with Direct Resins Using the Injection Technique”. Delegates’ learning during Dr Mak’s hands-on workshop will be compounded by an insightful lecture on the third day of the Annual Conference, entitled “Bonded Aesthetic Restorations in the Anterior Dentition”.
As one of Australia’s most distinguished clinicians and sought after speakers, Dr Mak believes that it is becoming a common expectation among increasingly well-informed patients that anterior restorations should be highly aesthetic, durable and minimally invasive. Therefore, utilising direct composite resin, bonded ceramic restorations or a combination of both restorative options, has rapidly become the cornerstone treatment modality in meeting these patient expectations.
Through his presentation at the BACD Annual Conference, Dr Mak’s goal is to demonstrate how basic planning and execution of these treatment modalities can be applied to simple, everyday cases, as well as more complex and challenging cases. His lecture will highlight how modern digital technologies – from intraoral scanning and treatment planning, to milling and 3D printing – can be used to simplify and facilitate the delivery of both direct and indirect restorations.
Key restorative concepts for direct resins and ceramics will be discussed through highly engaging images and videos to ensure that the content of the lecture is delivered in a manner that is easy for delegates to understand and, most importantly, apply in everyday practice. Dr Mak elaborates further:
“My lecture will cover contemporary, minimally invasive concepts for both direct and indirect restorations, providing didactic teaching of how digital dentistry can be utilised in everyday practice to achieve clinical results that are truly aesthetic and functional. I will also discuss alternative restorative options to what delegates would have explored in my hands-on workshop.”
Delegates at Dr Mak’s workshop will be treated to a master class on utilising the Injection Moulding Technique (IMT) following a modern digital approach. He says:
“This technique is proven to be a viable option for the restoration of teeth in the anterior dentition. Digital dentistry plays an important role in making the protocols of this treatment modality simple and predictable. The IMT is only a small component of my overall presentation on how the utilisation of digital dental concepts is able to streamline the planning and execution of aesthetic treatment in the anterior dentition with both direct and indirect techniques, hence why I would encourage delegates to attend my lecture at the BACD Annual Conference.”
That’s not all this highly anticipated event has to offer. The BACD’s educational programme for the Annual Conference includes exciting sessions presented by Drs Nitzan Bichacho, Mirela Feraru, Miguel Stanley, Dipesh Parmar, Pascal Magne, Stefano Lombardo, Gurvinder Bhirth, Andrew Chandrapal, Minesh Patel, Ian Buckle and Amanda Seay.
The BACD is committed to supporting effective collaboration between dental professionals and members of the trade. That’s why it is also providing access to an exclusive tradeshow exhibition at the Annual Conference, where delegates can browse the latest and greatest offerings from leading manufacturers and suppliers, who will be on-hand to provide professional advice and guidance.
Furthermore, a black-tie Gala Dinner at the National Museum of Scotland on Friday evening of the event will provide the ideal backdrop for networking with industry spearheads, and catching up with friends and colleagues. The Annual Conference will be as much a social event as an educational one – delegates who have been eager to meet peers in-person will, no doubt, appreciate the opportunity to socialise after a particularly challenging period for the dental profession. After all, the ability to share ideas, seek support and discuss the latest industry updates is a key component of promoting clinical excellence in day-to-day practice.
Reflecting on what he hopes to gain from his experience at the Annual Conference, Dr Mak adds, “I’m really looking forward to meeting new and likeminded colleagues in the UK.”
