The three winners of the Young Dentist Endodontic Award 2013 have been announced. This year, all the winners showed exceptional commitment to saving teeth. First place went to Jamie Nelson from Essex, second place to Rupal Shah from Birmingham and third place went to Lydia Harris from Bristol.
The three winning entries in the 2013 Young Dentist Award involved young patients, the youngest being 10, for whom the loss of a tooth would have been extremely detrimental. All the young dentists demonstrated excellent communications skills and in each case the dentist kept their patient confident and compliant. Between them, they won £3,500 of prizes sponsored by Dentsply, QED and Sybronendo. The three judges were Julian Webber and Trevor Lamb of the Harley Street Centre for Endodontics and Professor Andrew Eder of UCL Dental Institute and Hospital.
Jamie Nelson demonstrated exceptional commitment to saving a tooth which had a very poor prognosis. In order to save the tooth, he needed excellent clinical and communication skills, determination and an ability to think on his feet. His case will be published in a leading UK dental journal
Rupal Shah successfully managed the care of 10-year-old girl despite feeling nervous herself because she was carrying out an advanced technique for the first time. She also demonstrated excellent clinical skill.
Lydia Harris showed perseverance and insight when carrying out a root treatment for a 31-year-old female patient. Lydia's entry outlined the challenges she faced, her determination to achieve a successful outcome and an analysis of how she would operate differently in the future.
