Restorative Management Strategies for the Ageing Patient is organized by Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch (ADAQ) and will be held on Oct 14, 2020 at ADAQ CPD & Training Centre, Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. CPD Points: 6.5 Scientific hours Event Overview: It is acknowledged that our population is ageing and keeping their natural teeth longer, and along with this there is an increasing expectation by patients that they will retain their natural dentition into their senior years. Advances in restorative materials and techniques provide an increased range of conservative restorative options for managing the older debilitated dentition. This workshop will look at a range of traditional, and not so traditional approaches to restorative management of the ageing dentition. The workshop will also provide participants with hands-on exercises on minimally invasive conservative restorative techniques that provide cost effective and efficient options for managing the older patient. Topics: • Protecting exposed root surfaces - Reducing sensitivity and improving aesthetics • Root surface caries - Is it manageable? • The hopeless tooth - To restore or extract? • Techniques for the deep interproximal posterior restoration • Fibre reinforced restorations - for compromised and missing teeth • Patient friendly procedures - Managing the frail and feeble patient Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Extra-oral Radiography and Cone Beam Pre-licensing Course is organized by Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch (ADAQ) and will be held on Oct 24, 2020 at ADAQ CPD & Training Centre, Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. Target Audience: These courses are open to; • Registered Dentists • Oral Health Therapists and Hygienists • Dental Assistants (must have a Certificate IV in Dental Radiography) CPD Points:  • 6.5 Scientific hours for the lecture plus both exams • 3 Scientific hours for lecture and extra-oral exam Description: Extra-oral Radiography Exam Objectives: • Production of X-rays, biological effects of ionizing radiation and radiation protection • Theory of Panoramic and cephalometric radiography • Extra-oral technique and positioning errors • Radiation Safety Act (Qld) and the regulations relating to the use of irradiating apparatus in Qld • Extra-oral radiography examination (for those wanting an extra-oral license) Cone Beam Exam Objectives: • Production of X-rays, biological effects of ionizing radiation and radiation protection • Radiation Safety Act (Qld) and the regulations relating to the use of irradiating apparatus in Qld • Theory of Cone beam imaging • Limitations of cone beam imaging • Cone beam imaging verses multi-slice CT • Applications of cone beam imaging • Viewing and assessing Cone Beam data sets • Cone beam examination (for those wanting a cone beam licence) Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Injection Moulding Techniques (IMT) in Everyday Dental Practice is organized by Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch (ADAQ) and will be held on Oct 28, 2020 at ADAQ CPD & Training Centre, Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. CPD Points: 6.5 Scientific hours Event Overview: From simple restorations to complex restorations this hands-on workshop will enable participants to gain experience in the use of injection moulding techniques (IMT) for the restorations of both anterior and posterior teeth.  It will include strategies for the management of a range of restorations from small to large to achieve simplified and predictable outcomes from both aesthetic and functional aspects. Topics: • Simple anterior restorations and the advantages of injection moulding • Restoration of the endodontically treated tooth and the compromised tooth • Injection moulding for the reconstruction of anatomical form and function of multiple teeth in the badly broken down and worn dentition • Injection moulding versus ‘stamp’ technique, which to use and when • Understanding the benefits and limitations of contemporary restorative materials Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

Practical Oral Surgery - Stage 2 is organized by Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch (ADAQ) and will be held on Nov 13, 2020 at ADAQ CPD & Training Centre, Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. CPD Points: 6.5 Scientific hours Description: This second stage course builds on the introductory Practical Oral Surgery course, and is intended to assist practitioners with expanding their knowledge and skills in relation to a range of dento-alveolar surgical procedures. The course is designed to further improve surgical confidence in a practical atmosphere. Participants will use specialised replica anatomical models which reliably reflect normal anatomy and allow dissection, bone removal, sectioning and flap repair. A number of complex third molar simulation models will be provided to simulate the range of presenting impacted molar cases. Course Objectives: This second stage course will include a combination of theory and practical exercises including; • Complex third molar extractions • Advanced anaesthetic techniques for complex cases including intra osseous injection techniques • Advanced suturing skills, when and where to use • Oro-antral communications and their management • Advanced management of patients on contemporary anticoagulants • Advanced interpretation of the position of the inferior alveolar nerve in relation to third molars on cone beam images. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
