GDC should stop wasting resources says BDA

The General Dental Council (GDC) must prioritise its role in protecting the public and stop wasting time and resources on whether dentists should be allowed to continue using the courtesy title ‘doctor’, the British Dental Association (BDA) has argued in a letter from chief executive, Peter Ward, to the GDC today. The letter has been sent ahead of a meeting of the GDC’s Council on Thursday (24 February 2011), which is due to consider a recommendation by GDC’s Standards Committee that dentists no longer be permitted to use the courtesy title.

BDA and GDC on collision course over title doctor

The General Dental Council (GDC) will put itself on a collision course with the British Dental Association (BDA) and most of its dentist registrants if it accepts a recommendation from its Standards Committee that dentists should not be allowed to use the courtesy title doctor. Despite the facts that large majority (90.4%) of respondents to the 12 week consultation on advertising believed that dentists should be allowed to use the courtesy title, it seems likely that the GDC will go ahead and ban it.

Peri-implantitis – adjunctive measures to non-surgical peri-implant therapy

This review of the effectiveness of patient-performed or administered adjunctive measures to non-surgical peri-implantitis therapy included 9 RCTs. A wide range of interventions were tested but the studies were mainly small with only one being at low risk of bias. Consequently addition high quality well conducted studies are needed on both the prevention and treatment of peri-implant disease.
