Erosive tooth wear is the 3rd most commonly observed oral condition1 . Every patient should be aware of how to prevent it and every dentist should be screening for erosive tooth wear as part of every clinical examination. To help achieve that ambition the Erosive Tooth Wear Foundation [ETWF] is offering a prize to dental undergraduates across Europe to help increase awareness of the condition amongst the new generation of dental care professionals.
Entering as either an individual or as a team, use your creative skills to record a short video to help bring the condition of erosive tooth wear to life.
There are 2 categories to enter:
- Best Patient Advice Video
- Best video to explain how to diagnose tooth wear
With a first prize of up to £600 and a second prize of £300 for each category plus a certificate of achievement, what are you waiting for?
What’s more there is an additional Engagement Prize with a prize of £100 for the video that gets the most likes, shares and engagement in social media.
Dr Saoirse O’Toole, Clinical Lecturer in Prosthodontics at King’s College London and member of the Erosive Tooth Wear Foundation team said, ‘Today’s dental students will be shaping the oral health of future generations. Erosive tooth wear is increasing in prevalence due to changing dietary habits and medical conditions, so we need to evolve the clinical dental examination to recognise this emerging dental challenge. Dental students, as future clinicians, are the perfect cohort to drive that change.’
Entries are open NOW and will close on the 31st August 2025 – so don’t delay.
