The right skills in complex situations

Innovation continues to transform the dental landscape: processes are becoming more streamlined, treatment quicker and less intensive for patients; and opportunities for skills progression more abundant than ever before. Despite such momentous advancements, there are many risks that could still present during treatment, namely the biological complications that can interfere and potentially compromise the final outcome. With patient expectation and demand so potent in this digital age, alongside the growing needs of an aging population, clinicians and their teams must be prepared to tackle ever-more complex cases. As such, it is essential to remain abreast of skill acquisition and development, which provides a myriad of benefits to your patients, your career and your standards as a professional.

The biological problem in implant dentistry

A lot of status is placed on a person’s visual appearance, and trends in the dental market are often driven by said status: as a result, the dental market has become rife with options to improve the aesthetics of one’s smile. Interest in treatments like dental implants has seen impressive grown; simultaneously, so have opportunities for clinicians to refresh their skillsets and improve the care they deliver. This is not only imperative for delivering safe and ethical dentistry, but it also allows professionals to expand their clinical capabilities and, by extension, their confidence when tackling more complex cases.

An expansive skillset enables clinicians to provide more options for patients, which in turn also makes it easier to ascertain the most appropriate course of action – especially when complications present during treatment. In dental implantology, bone resorption is a common issue, occurring largely in the first 3 months following a tooth extraction, according to studies.[i] As you know, bone resorption, especially in patients with more complex needs, drastically compromises the rehabilitation pathway.[ii] Depending on other biological considerations, such as patient age and overall health, there may be several potential options that clinicians will need to deliberate. For instance, certain surgical techniques may be indicated, such as bone grafting or sinus lifting; if suitable, newer techniques like zygomatic implant surgery can be implemented, as this modality shows positive success rates in those with severe maxillary atrophy.[iii]

Having a wider range of skills allows you to avoid referring patients elsewhere if the case falls outside of your remit. You can build a more comprehensive patient base, utilising your knowledge to tackle the more complex cases and provide successful, long-lasting outcomes to a wider range of patients.

Taking your skills to a new level

The literature supports the view that a strong sense of confidence is integral to personal development, one’s ongoing study and improved competence.[iv]  When it comes to skill and knowledge acquisition, the more you invest in your training over time, the wider the playing field in which to you can determine the best course of action for each patient. Patients value trust, and demonstrating your excellence is a potent way to earn and sustain that trust.[v] Being able to plan treatment well, communicate effectively and engage the patient encourages a more proactive relationship, helping to manage patient expectations and improve patient compliance throughout and long after surgery.[vi]

Skill acquisition is more than simply adding new techniques and modalities to your dental repertoire: it is about providing a higher level of care, bolstered by clinical confidence, competence and the ability to offer more in your practice. As such, it is vital to choose a training pathway that provides you with only the best resources, including guidance from professionals who will help you gain comprehensive knowledge that is immediately applicable in practice. If you are an experienced implant dentist, you need to invest in a training programme that is tailored enriching and building on your existing skills. If you are seeking a comprehensive, carefully curated course, consider the Advanced Certificate course in Bone and Tissue Regeneration and Sinus Grafting, a blended University Certificate course delivered in 5 parts over 5 months including 2 days of hands-on workshop and 2 intensive days of 2-day cadaveric surgical training programme. Headed by a faculty of expert ENT consultants, under the eminent Specialist Oral Surgeon Professor Cemal Ucer’s lead, you can take your abilities further with this unique learning opportunity. The syllabus covers a variety of pertinent topics, from block bone grafting, zygomatic and pterygoid implant options, 3D diagnostic imagining and much more.

Keep going, keep growing

Dentistry is constantly adapting to changing demands and expectations. With an aging population and the social media phenomenon shaping what is required from the dental team, skill development is an absolute necessity. Making prime decisions as to where and with whom you train means you can flourish in a way that best suits you and your current skill level. You can take what you’ve learnt and go much further: to the benefit of your patients and your own clinical abilities.

Breaking the chain of infection

‘Prevention’ is an important topic across many areas of dentistry, including when reducing the spread of infection. In order to protect patients and staff, dental practices must have strict protocols in place, which are continually evaluated to ensure optimal measures are being implemented. Pathogens spread easily in environments like a dental practice: as such, the team must be vigilant against all the possible avenues of infection.

Don’t weaken your defences

If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that infection spreads incredibly quickly and everybody plays a vital part in its prevention. Within the practice, there are several modes of infection transmission: direct contact with bodily fluids; indirect contact with contaminated instruments, surfaces or equipment; infected droplets entering the airway from coughing, sneezing or talking; and airborne transmission due to microorganisms remaining suspended in the airflow for extended periods of time.[i] All practices must follow strict regulation, in addition to continually assessing whether any areas of their infection control need improving. This way, you can rest assured that you are disrupting the chain of infection and that your practice is safe and clean.

It is necessary to review all areas of your decontamination and disinfection processes to ensure there are no weaknesses in your preventative workflow.

Hand hygiene

Addressing the range of threats that present themselves in the practice, and ascertaining where improvements can be made, requires a team effort. Oftentimes, education and reiteration of the basics can be imperative, as they are usually the measures that ensure the greatest protection. For example, hand hygiene is considered the gold standard in preventing the spread of infection: according to the World Health Organization (WHO),[ii]thorough hand hygiene measures prevent up to 50% of avoidable infections acquired during health care delivery, and that includes those which can impact the staff. This simple yet vital step is the first line of defence against infection. Ensuring that both staff and patients are practising better hand hygiene habits should be a top priority. The utilisation of posters and signage can help to prompt both patients and staff to keep their hands clean: providing high-quality soap and hand sanitiser, especially in the bathrooms and waiting rooms are likewise handy reminders.

Surface disinfection

Surfaces are another area where contamination can easily occur and also be transmitted to other objects and personnel: even with meticulous hand hygiene, a contaminated surface can re-contaminate the skin and therefore renew the threat of infection. Research postulates that many species of bacteria can survive for extended periods of time on a range of surfaces: for example, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and C. difficile can survive for months; viruses like astrovirus and hepatitis A for around 2 months; and herpes between 2 hours and 8 weeks.[iii] Survival periods are dependent on the environment and surface; regardless, all surfaces (especially those frequently touched) must be decontaminated regularly. Of course, in addition to decontaminating surfaces in the ‘dirty zone’, such as the dental chair, equipment and cabinetry, surfaces in the waiting/reception area should not escape scrutiny. This is especially true of touchpoints like door handles, chairs, computer keyboards and other surfaces that are routinely in contact with different people.[iv] The literature supports the notion that education, training and targeted microbiological control play a key role in improving cleaning performance and infection prevention.iii

The right products for the job

Together, stringent hand hygiene and surface decontamination are effective at protecting patients and staff from the spread of infection. Alongside continual compliance, you need to use the right products for the job. This should be a carefully considered decision: solutions must be compatible with the variety of surfaces in the practice, and nowadays there is a heightened focus on products that utilise more natural ingredients, with no compromise in protection. Many cleaning products contain chemicals and agents that, while traditionally are effective against pathogens, can be potentially harmful to health. The Citrox Protect range of solutions, distributed by Oraldent, features a non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-corrosive and non-carcinogenic formula based on organic acids and containing CITROX® complex. Independently proven effective against a variety of pathogens, you can rest assured that Citrox Protect products provide peace of mind. The portfolio includes surface disinfectants, hand sanitisers and textile sealing products: a comprehensive range to suit the complex needs of dental practices.

Getting the basics right

Infection control must always be stringent in the dental practice. However, the risk of transmission is always omnipresent so avoiding weak areas in your infection control protocols is essential. With continuous assessment, team training, education and the right products, you can ensure that the transmission of infection is kept to as much a minimum as possible, making your dental practice a consistently safe and clean environment.

Tucking into occlusion

It’s no surprise that the dentition has an intimate relationship with the food we eat. In everyday life, we may take it for granted that we can delve into a snack or meal on a whim, and enjoy it without a second thought.

For many patients with malocclusions, however, this isn’t the case. It’s important to understand the impact occlusion has on our eating experiences, and how it could severely affect a patient’s overall health. With this knowledge, clinicians can aid patients that hold these concerns, or identify and correct issues before they take effect.

Failure in function

A patient’s dentition plays a key role in the mastication process, being essential for chewing and breaking down solid foods.[i] Malocclusions can significantly impair the performance of these actions, especially when occlusal contacts are reduced.[ii]

If and when a patient raises their concerns, there is no telling the cause without a comprehensive assessment. Chewing difficulties are common ground for a variety of malocclusions, after all. They may be present in occlusal issues ranging from an overjet or an overbite, to an underbite or a crossbite.[iii]

The trouble caused by a malocclusion does not stop at chewing pain. Ineffective mastication could have knock-on effects throughout the entire digestive system.

Masticatory function is essential for the proper intake of nutrients, breaking down food into a manageable bolus that can be swallowed without difficulty, and from which the body can receive adequate nourishment.[iv] 

Malocclusion, food and the body

Should a patient present with a malocclusion that affects their chewing, it’s likely that they will have altered some behaviours in order to cope. They may chew for longer in order to adequately break down food and compensate for their difficulties; change their diet to accommodate more manageable foods; or simply not have changed a thing, instead bearing the brunt of any subsequent digestive issues.

Without a change, these problems could make everyday life uncomfortable. One study found that a group of women with malocclusions faced a slower gastric emptying rate than a control group with normal occlusion.[v]This follows along with similar research surrounding ineffective chewing and the digestive process, potentially resulting in digestive distresses.v By interfering with the gastric emptying rate, for example, patients may succumb to nausea, stomach pains, and bloating, under the medical condition gastroparesis.[vi]

Connections have been made between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Commonly associated with a variety of malocclusions, TMDs are characterised by pain in the temporomandibular joints and facial muscles.[vii] This can contribute to the immense discomfort felt when chewing. When this becomes too overwhelming, patients may adjust their diet as a compromise. The danger is that these accommodations could be detrimental to their general health. If masticatory problems mean patients avoid harder foods such as raw vegetables and fruit, tough fibrous meats, or dry hard foods such as whole grains and nuts, they may be missing out on nutritionally dense sources of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.iv

It’s important to carefully consider care for individuals with malocclusions that have a severely disordered relationship with food, and are, for example, anorexic or bulimic. There is a significant association between the presence of eating disorders and a dissatisfaction with chewing ability.[viii] For the appropriate patients, restoring optimal occlusion not only has the potential to improve a patient’s self-perceived image, but may enormously benefit their nutritional rehabilitation. Using orthodontics as part of an empathetic, multidisciplinary solution may be ideal.[ix]

A clinical approach

The relationship between malocclusions and food is deeply intertwined. A complete understanding of occlusion is vital when providing effective care, demanding an awareness of how malocclusions can develop, be identified, and subsequently treated. Optimal treatments could improve patients’ lives from their ability to chew, to aesthetic outcomes that can boost their confidence and self-image.[x]

Malocclusions that affect masticatory functions, and ultimately a patient’s general health, may be rectified with appropriate orthodontic solutions. These include clear aligner therapy and the use of fixed braces, however the GDC demands only adequately trained and competent clinicians provide these.[xi] Clinicians should first ensure they have a complete grasp on occlusion before they tackle these challenges, though.

Dental professionals looking to have an impact that extends past the dental chair should seek exceptional training that improves their overall skillset. The Occlusion: Basics & Beyond course from the IAS Academy is the most tangible, comprehensive occlusion training in the world. Across 34 hours of CPD accredited modules, clinicians can develop their understanding of occlusion in a manner that is not offered anywhere else, improving their clinical offering for each and every patient.

Oral health has long been known to have a complex relationship with general health, and it has an ever-increasing impact on the way patients interact with food. By developing a clinical understanding of occlusion, and how it can be improved, dental professionals have the ability to improve patient health in a manner that reinvigorates everyday life.
