DS Solution Week Singapore: Making Class II Composite restoration predictable

2020 has been a disruptive year and the new decade may possibly be define by remote technology? Many things have shifted online. At a clinic level, I have been using more remote communication with patients.

On the lecturing front, many dental conferences have moved online as well. Denstply Sirona which I started my lecturing journey with has also moved their “DS Solution Week Singapore” online as well.

This time, I will be sharing on how I manage my Class II restorations to make it predictable. Class II restorations is one of the most common procedure performed by a dentist. Normally it is caused by decay in between teeth and a composite resin/ceramic restoration is then needed. Occasionally, sensitivity or dislodged restoration may occur after the procedure. In the lecture, I will be sharing how I attempt to reduce occurrence of sensitivity or dislodged filling after performing a Class II restoration as a clinician.

Start of 2020, countdown to lecture in Kuala Lumpur!

1st post of 2020.

Looking forward to lecturing in Kuala Lumpur at Malaysia Dental Association (MDA) Scate in February 2020. I will be talking about management of gummy smile with laser dentistry again. To ensure that the participants has something refreshing to bring back, I will be sharing cases of smile makeover with digital smile design and veneers will be taken with a focus on the gum on top the the conventional focus on teeth only.

I will also also be covering on multi disciplinary cases like using clear aligners or Invisalign to combine with laser dentistry to improve gummy smile. Hopefully, this will be a refreshing perspective for the participants. New year, new perspective!

Medical Alumni Association Dental Conference 2018

The past few months have been busy preparing for 3 more lecture in Janrary 2019. A throwback to the recent dental conference where again I had the chance to share on my protocol for management of gummy smile.

A link, hopefully it works, to a short video from the organiser on the talk.

WCLI Asia Pacific Laser Symposium 2018

11th WCLI Asia Pacific Laser Symposium just concluded in Singapore last weekend. I was given an opportunity to share how I have been combining digital dentistry to assist in the planning for my laser gum contouring cases. This has allowed patients and dentists to have a simulation of how the outcome of the laser gum contouring will be. Using dental laser for gum contouring has made recovery much faster compared to traditional methods. I also shared how I used other treatment options like Botulinum Toxin for management of gummy smile.

As one of the 2 local speakers, I hope I had made a good impression to the overseas delegates who were here as well. Back to preparing more lectures in October 2018 and Janurary 2019.

Overseas Lecture on Posterior Composite and Digital Smile Design

Concluded my first overseas lecture 2 months ago. Had the opportunity to share on posterior composite and digital smile design (DSD).

Always great to see that dentists are passionate about learning.

It was an interesting experience for me as it was an overseas lecture. A good take away is to have a packing list! Almost forgot my mac adapter.

Now back to work to prepare for a 1.5day composite workshop to be held in March 2018!

Countdown to my overseas lecture

Countdown to my 1st overseas lecture. Literally via the causeway over the sea of Johor Straits into Johor.

I will be talking about Functional Posterior Composite: Updates on adhesive and layering and Anterior Esthetics Design.

The 2nd lecture will be an interesting one. Digital Smile Design is gaining popularity and I am glad to be exposed to it early in my career. During the lecture, I will sharing with the participants my experience in smile makeover with ceramic veneers and laser gum contouring. My pet topic has always been on management of gummy smile and I will definitely be covering how I combine digital technology with laser gum contouring and botulinum toxin.

To share the stage with Dr Dominic Leung, a very experienced and respected dentist (graduated in 1975), I must say the honour is mine to be invited to Esthetics Dentistry 1.0

Sharing 2 slides from the lecture as a prelude to what to expect during the lecture on 25th November 2017.
