Ian Dunn, teaching lead in periodontics at Liverpool University, opened the eighth annual conference looking at ‘treating periodontal disease’ and the challenges young dentists may face when patients go undiagnosed.
The second speaker, Nick Lewis, consultant in restorative dentistry at the Eastman Dental Hospital, examined the pros and cons of ‘restoration, extraction and referral’, and suggested areas to look out for when considering which option is in the patient’s best interests.
He was followed by Michael Lessani, from the BDA Young Dentists Committee, who looked at the various options available to recently qualified dentists, and provided insight into his own ‘first five years’ in practice.
In the final session of the day, John Tiernan, Director of Educational Services for Dental Protection explored communication skills (with both patients and members of the clinical team), consent, record keeping, ethics and open disclosure.
