Paving the Way to Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry is a journey that combines science, artistry, and clinical expertise to create beautiful, functional, and long-lasting smiles. This lecture explores the key principles of modern aesthetic restorative dentistry, from smile analysis and treatment planning to material selection and adhesive techniques. Through clinical case presentations, participants will discover how minimally invasive and biomimetic approaches can achieve predictable aesthetic outcomes while preserving natural tooth structure. Practical insights and evidence-based concepts will be shared to help clinicians confidently integrate aesthetics, function, and longevity into everyday restorative practice.

Prosthodontic Decision-Making in Aesthetic Rehabilitation
This case-based lecture highlights the prosthodontic decision-making process that underpins successful aesthetic rehabilitation. Beginning with a comprehensive clinical examination, the discussion progresses through smile analysis, occlusal evaluation, treatment planning, and restorative material selection. Clinical cases will illustrate how functional requirements, biological considerations, patient expectations, and aesthetic objectives are integrated to achieve predictable and long-lasting outcomes. Emphasis is placed on a systematic approach that transforms diagnosis into a well-executed smile rehabilitation while maintaining harmony between aesthetics and function.

Ergonomics and Occupational Therapy Secrets for Longer Healthier Dental Career
"Dentistry is a highly rewarding profession, but it also carries one of the highest risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, mental and physical. This session explores ergonomics beyond simply adjusting the dental chair. From an occupational therapy perspective, participants will learn practical, evidence-based strategies to protect their physical health while enhancing efficiency and performance. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical tools to prevent injury, reduce physical strain, improve workplace comfort, and build a sustainable, pain-free dental career. The goal is not only to work better today but also to ensure a healthier and longer professional journey."

How Our Understanding Continues to Evolve
Odontogenic tumours are a diverse group of lesions encountered in dental practice. While the tumours themselves have not changed, our understanding of their pathogenesis, biological behaviour, diagnosis, and classification has evolved dramatically over the past few decades.

Orofacial myofunctional habits and overview of myofunctional therapy
Orofacial myofunctional habits and overview of myofunctional therapy
This topic provides an introduction to normal and abnormal orofacial myofunctional habits and their impact on craniofacial growth, occlusion, breathing, speech, swallowing, and overall oral function in children. It covers common dysfunctional habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, prolonged non-nutritive sucking (thumb sucking and pacifier use), low tongue posture, lip incompetence, and abnormal swallowing patterns. Participants will learn how these habits contribute to malocclusion, sleep-disordered breathing, temporomandibular dysfunction, and other functional impairments.
The session also introduces the principles of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT), an evidence-based, exercise-based intervention designed to retrain the muscles of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and face to achieve optimal oral resting posture and functional patterns. The lecture will discuss indications for OMT, patient assessment, treatment goals, multidisciplinary collaboration with ENT specialists, speech-language therapists, orthodontists, and paediatric dentists, as well as the current scientific evidence supporting OMT in improving oral function and serving as an adjunctive treatment for paediatric sleep-disordered breathing and orthodontic management.
Learning Outcomes: By the end of this session, participants should be able to: Recognise common orofacial myofunctional disorders and harmful oral habits. Understand the effects of dysfunctional oral habits on facial growth and oral health. Describe the principles and objectives of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. Identify patients who may benefit from OMT and appropriate referral pathways. Appreciate the role of multidisciplinary management in achieving long-term functional outcomes.
