Impressive line-up announced for Birmingham conference By DTI BIRMINGHAM, UK: Birmingham is setting up for the first British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show, to be held in May. The or- ganiser has now said that interna- tionally prominent prosthodon- tist Dr Didier Dietschi will join the highly anticipated list of speakers for the BDA Theatre. Dietschi will lead two talks at the show, titled “Bio-aesthetic smile rehabilitations: Restorative trends and realities” and “The in- terceptive treatment of tooth wear using no-prep or minimally inva- sive techniques”. He said that the lectures will allow attendees to identify and learn about new clini- cal options that fulfil the growing needs of patients for interceptive tooth wear treatment and smile rejuvenation or improvement us- ing tissue-conserving approaches. “I believe that due to two grow- ing trends in ‘minimally invasive dentistry’ and ‘cost-effective aes- thetic options’, the direct free- hand treatment approach shall en- ter into its second golden age,” Dietschi said. “During my lecture I will cover indications for direct free-hand bonding following new aesthetic standards and basic clin- ical protocols which make it feasi- ble for every GDP [general dental practitioner]. There will be no complex layering techniques, but rather simple and reliable com- posite systems and application techniques.” Other highlights of the BDA Theatre include a presentation titled “Effective dental manage- ment of patients in later life” by London prosthodontist Dr Char- lotte Stilwell and one titled “Con- gratulations, you have just inher- ited someone else’s dental im- plants—Now what?” by the London Centre for Implant and Aesthetic Dentistry Clinical Director Dr Koray Feran. Overall, the show will cover more than 100 hours of verifiable continuing professional develop- ment over two days for the whole dental practice team, the organ- iser said.
