>WORKSHOPS
Workshop T01
Date 17 November 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Speaker Prof. Margherita Fontana
Title “Modern Caries Management: From detection and diagnosis to selective-no caries removal for control of caries lesion”
Fees EPDA Non-Members EPDA Members Non-Egyptians
EGP 1500 EGP 1200 USD 150
Description
The workshop’s main objective is to aid with decision-making for use of minimally invasive strategies for management of dental caries lesions. This will include interactive discussions with participants, use of cases, and images. Ideally we would have available immediate response systems (such as clickers, etc.), so we could have discussions in real time. This workshop will be relevant for clinicians, educators and researchers.

At the completion of the workshop, attendees will have a better understanding on how to use evidence-based, minimally invasive approaches for management of caries lesions in pediatric settings.

Detection and Diagnosis (1h)

  1. Different caries diagnosis scoring systems for classification of caries lesions, focusing on ICDAS
  2. A discussion on how to train and calibrate examiners for clinical trials
  3. Role of technology aids in caries detection

Engage the audience in training of classification of caries lesion severity using the  ICDAS                 II criteria using images.

 

Caries Removal and Sealing Caries Lesions (1h)

  1. Non-restorative management of caries lesions- A review of existing guidelines
  2. Sealing caries lesions- current evidence and indications for primary and permanent teeth
  3. Selective and non-selective caries removal

Engage the audience in case discussions of management of deep caries lesions
Workshop T02

After this workshop, delegates will be able to:

  • Describe behaviour change and the theoretical basis
  • Provide examples of oral health behaviour change interventions
  • Critique the use of behaviour change interventions compared to other oral health education approaches
  • Explain the steps in developing a behaviour change intervention
  • Apply this step-by-step approach to design a behaviour change intervention aimed at children and families
  • Discuss the different approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions
  • Understand the challenges of implementing these interventions within public health or clinical settings
Workshop T03

Title “Emerging Clinical Techniques in Pediatric Dentistry – Autotransplantation and Frenectomies”
Fees EPDA Non-Members EPDA Members Non-Egyptians
EGP 2000 EGP 1800 USD 200
Description
In this workshop, two emerging clinical techniques will be presented. The first will be on tooth autotransplantation. In children and adolescents, the management of missing permanent teeth can be challenging. Treatment options include prosthodontic replacement, orthodontic space closure or tooth autotransplantation. The workshop will provide instruction in the area of tooth auto-transplantation as an adjunct to trauma management. The second technique discussed will be the often contentious area of frenectomies. The evidence base for the risks and benefits of frenectomies will be presented and various diagnostic scales and criteria will be addressed. In addition, conservative surgical techniques will be reviewed.

Speaker  Prof. Dr. Osama El Shahawy
Title “Full Coverage In Primary Teeth”
Fees EPDA Non-Members EPDA Members Non-Egyptians
EGP 2000 EGP 1800 USD 200
Description
 Successful & reliable restoration of primary teeth is a cornerstone in managing pediatric
dental defects. Restoration is essential to manage small cavities all through severely mutilated teeth. The longevity and reliability of the restoration fulfilling function and esthetics demands is the goal of all pediatric dental practitioners.
As it is well known, Full coverage is the reliable restorative option for endodontically treated teeth, severely mutilated teeth and teeth with developmental defects. Moreover recent conservative approaches in management of deep caries requires proper restorative seal to ensure the success of indirect pulp capping or partial caries removal, and this can well achieved with full coverage.
The demand for esthetic alternatives is rising, and accordingly the practitioners should master delivering these restorations in an efficient way. This presentation and hands-on will focus on the use of stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns for both anterior and posterior restorations in children, with special emphasis on the clinical tips that can help in a reliable and efficient placement of these
restorations. The use of recent bio-ceramic formulas that can help ensuring a predictable pulp management, will be discussed.

Title “Pediatric Sleep Disorder Breathing: A Wake-Up Call For Pediatric Dentists To A Global Problem”
Fees EPDA Non-Members EPDA Members Non-Egyptians
EGP 1200 EGP 1000 USD 120
Description
Increasingly it becomes apparent that the causes of Sleep Disorder Breathing begin to develop during early childhood. If these causes are left unchecked, a child’s Sleep Disorder Breathing can result in a variety of childhood disorders ranging from enlarged tonsils and adenoids to learning difficulties and behavioral problems.

Sleep Disorder Breathing in Children has also been recognized as causing widespread health developmental and behavioral problems including difficulty concentrating at school. Additionally, as well as being determinantal to the development of the face, jaws, and teeth, if left untreated Pediatric Sleep Disorder Breathing can lead to significant and serious health problems causing poor quality of life later in adulthood.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry policy encourages healthcare professionals to routinely screen their patients for increased risk and to facilitate medical referrals when indicated. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the evaluation and treatment of Pediatric sleep-disordered breathing from a myofunctional, and dental perspective.
Educational Objectives:
  • Identify risk factors for sleep-related breathing disorders based on history and physical exam
  • Advise parents on the benefits of early intervention and treatment of sleep-disordered
    breathing and myofunctional disorder
  • Discuss the risks and benefits of initial treatment options
  • Understand when a referral to a therapist, ENT, or advanced professional may be
    Indicated
Level of skill recommended for participants:
  • Of interest to Dentists (all Specialities), Students & Residents, Dental Auxiliaries,and Dental Office Staff
