Brian Novy | Friday 24th September 2021
We are delighted to open our first GID day for booking!
We are starting the season with a hugely famous internationally renowned speaker – Dr Brian Novy on Dental Decay, on Friday 24th September 2021.
Offensive Dentistry
The success of operative dentistry is highly dependent upon the physiology, microbiology, and chemistry of the human mouth, yet these factors are often overlooked in clinical settings. When clinicians are equipped with a newfound appreciation for modern cariology and appropriate therapeutic interventions, the prognosis of clinical dentistry can be dramatically improved. In a world that seems dedicated to disinfection and antibiotics, perhaps the oral environment will help illustrate that encouraging beneficial bacteria may be just as effective, if not more effective, than eradicating pathogenic bacteria.
Learning Objectives [At the end of the lecture, attendees will be able to]:
1. Explain the mixed bacteria ecological plaque hypothesis
2. Define and identify prebiotics and probiotics
3. Encourage the growth of commensal oral bacteria
4. Modify patient behavior with simple conversation changes
5. Design restorations that resist recurrent decay
6. Improve the prognosis of restorative treatment
