Biography:

Raghad Nabeel AL Azzawi  graduated from college of Dentistry University of Baghdad and finish the rotation in ministry of health in Jordan and then she worked at Academic Specialized Dental Center as a dentist, she have a very good knowledge in dentistry, diagnosis and treatment plan treated many of restorative, orthodontic, periodontics, endodontic, pediatric and surgical cases. She have a good experience in computer guided Implantology x-ray program like; solid model and cone beam CT scan, besides assisting in the surgical part of implantology and follow up. She attend many conferences and many courses in laminate veneer, crown preparation, course hands on advanced endodontic management of endodontic errors and occlusion & treatment of complicated prosthetic cases.

Abstract:

I believe that an orthodontist is not only a specialist dentist; he must have knowledge and interesting in art as dentistry is not about teeth treatment but also aesthetic of the face to be a successful orthodontist because science has no end. In some clinical cases in our daily practice we might face bone deficiency to replace missing teeth with dental implants instead of doing second surgery and bone augmentation. We can be more conservative depending on orthodontic means such as extrusion of hopeless teeth in other cases we can use mini implants to adjust complicated orthodontic cases and surgical cases such as skeletal open bite or interocclusal space deficiency. This lecture for implantology’s, orthodontist & general practitioner. In this lecture I will talk about clinical cases to show the interrelation between ortho, implant & aesthetic dentistry & aesthetic medicine (Botox & Filler) solving clinical cases with no surgery. It`s for specialist dentist & general practitioner.

 

Cases in the lecture

  1. Will cover extrusion of hopeless anterior centrals to correct bone level before replacing them with dental implant instead of bone augmentation.
  2. 2 Cases using the immediate strategic implant in ortho treatment having the result in 72 hours instead of 2 years.
  3. To gain more interocclussal space by intrusion of opposite posterior teeth.
  4. Case to correct skeletal open bite by using mini implant instead of orthognathic surgery.
  5. Case using mini implant to align tilted teeth to provide space for implant or bridge.
  6. Some cases about gum smile treatment by mini implant & Botox beside some cases about aesthetic dentistry.

Abstract:

In 2018, it is estimated that about 51, 540 new cases of oral cavity and pharyngeal cancer will develop, which represent approximately 3-5% of all cancers in the United States. During the same time period it is estimated that there will be approximately 10, 030 deaths. Incidence rates are more than twice as high in men as in women (Male cases-37,160 & Female cases–14,380). From 2006 to 2010 incidence rates remained stable in men and have decreased by 0.9% per year in women. Oral tongue cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach to treat it that includes a surgical oncologist, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, speech therapists and physical rehabilitation as well as emotional support through the help of psychologists or social workers. In this review paper we will discuss current management of this complex tumor.

John Mew

Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Romania

Keynote: An introduction to Biobloc Orthotropics
Conference Series Dentists 2020 International Conference Keynote Speaker John Mew photo
Biography:

John Mew graduated in dentistry at University College London, and then trained in Orthognathic surgery.  Seeking alternatives to facial surgery he moved to the speciality of orthodontics in 1965.  Since then he has been developing non-surgical methods of correcting unattractive vertical growth in children’s faces, using ‘orthotropics’ to encourage horizontal growth. A practising clinician, his principal research interests are the aetiology of malocclusion and the guidance of facial growth. Currently he is a retired professor of the London School of Facial Orthotropics and Visiting Professor to the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Romania. He was honoured with life membership of the British Dental Association in 1999.

Abstract:

The Biobloc Appliances are unique in encouraging forward growth of the face and aiming to create a subconscious closed mouth posture rather than move teeth. They are most effective at 6 to 8 years of age after which their effectiveness reduces until 25. However, some improvement can be achieved after that especially for Ear joint problems and sleep Apnoea. There are four stages, stage1 which widens the maxillary bone at 1mm per week gently softening the adjacent sutures at all ages allowing them to re-ossify in a wider forward position. At the same time, it lengthens the dental arch together with its supporting bone while allowing the tongue to maintain contact with the palate. The shelves on each side occlude with and widen the lower arch.

The stage2 retains the expansion during eating and active sports. The locks on the stage3 are adjusted to be uncomfortable if the child drops their jaw. Stage4 is used during the deciduous changeover and is the same as the stage3 but clasped on different teeth. The stage3 and 4 need to be worn 20 hours a day. There are various axillaries to train posture without the need for exercises.

Abstract:

Qatar takes great pride in actively promoting equal opportunities for people with disabilities. The number of individuals with disabilities in Qatar makes up less than 0.50% of the total population. Government of Qatar mandates rights to education, medical and social care, rehabilitation, transportation and employment to persons with disabilities in unison with Qatar National Vision 2030. The launch of the ‘Doha Declaration’ at the closing ceremony of the Doha International Conference on Disability and Development (DICDD), December 7-8, 2019, underscores Qatar’s commitment to promoting policies that will ensure persons with disabilities are provided with opportunities for involvement, engagement and contribution in their communities. Doha declaration would be an international reference point for world governments to integrate the rights of persons with disabilities into their national development plans. In pursuance to improve the oral health of the children with disabilities an oral health program was conducted in 7 Government and 1 private school in Qatar. It was integrated into ongoing Asnani School Oral Health Program. A team of Dental Hygienists and Dental assistants visited the schools and provided dental screening services with preventive fluoride varnish application to all the consenting students. Special oral health education sessions were conducted to deliver lectures to these students tailored to their type of disability. This program also marked the launch of oral health education messages in braille and sign language for the first time in Qatar. Acknowledging the role of families in the wellbeing of persons with disabilities, we conducted a research to assess the knowledge, attitude, behavior and perceived barriers of parents of the students with disabilities. Based on the results of this research, a comprehensive oral health education program was planned for the parents to empower them to acquire accurate knowledge and educated them about means to overcome the challenges they face. Caries prevalence was 64% among the students examined. Many of the parents were unaware of the presence of fluoride in the tooth paste and its role in preventing caries. The most commonly perceived barrier was lack of awareness about the availability of Periodontists /special needs dentist to treat their children and the places where they could receive the dental care

Skeletal and dental arch anomalies which need early intervention among children usually are detected by pediatric dentist or general practitioner. Therefore, they have to be familiar with case specification to help for writing correct referral and parent’s communication. Skeletal and dental arch anomalies require intervention at an early age, which help in avoiding later surgical procedure and it improves the function of the oral cavity and the facial profile. Etiology whether inherited or habits and could be airways obstruction. Those facts create different types of malocclusion. The presentation would demonstrate cases and their treatment plans, supported with updated literature reviews. The following points will be provided; Diagnosis of dental arch anomaly among children; Proper time for intervention; Prevention the complication of arch anomaly; Distinguish between the early need intervention and normal time for orthodontic treatment and different procedures for early orthodontic treatment.

Abstract:

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase levels in children aged between 6-9 years.

Methods: total of 1567 patients were screened, a total of 151 patients completed the study, patients’ heart rate on recall, salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase where compared between the groups.

Results: showed that salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase had a significant association with the level of dental fear. The phobic patients had the highest levels of salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase with no significant associations observed with either heart rate or extent of dental treatment. Control and anxious patients had significantly lower amylase levels when compared to phobic patients.

Conclusion: within the limitations of this study we can conclude that salivary amylase is an indicator of acute stress that can differentiate between anxiety and dental fear; while salivary cortisol appears to be a marker of long-term stress that lacks the sensitivity to differentiate between the two.

Biography:

Madalina Croitoru has her expertise in paediatric dentistry and a passion for improving the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents. Her open manner and dedication towards handling difficult make her a valuable member of the Paediatric Department. Her area of research interest includes paediatric dentistry, children psychology.

Abstract:

Aim: The purpose of this paper was to determine if behaviour management can modify in a positive manner the degree of acceptance of dental treatment in children and adolescents and to assess the influencing factors of the patients’ behavioural pattern.

Background: One of the cornerstones in practicing paediatric dentistry is the ability to guide children positively throughout their dental experience and encourage positive dental attitude in order to improve their oral and overall health. Anxiety associated with the dental procedures can be reflected in the child’s behaviour. Therefore, it is important for dentists to evaluate psychological personal traits and to modify the management approach to reduce their anxiety.

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 312 children aged 2 to 14 years (m.a. 6.44±0.19 years) attending the Pedodontics Dental Clinic of the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, Romania for routine dental care. The improvement of the patients’ behavioural pattern was attempted using the “tell-show-do” technique, positive reinforcement, ART technique, voice modulation, systematic desensitivation, non-verbal communication and behavioural modelling. Their behaviour was evaluated using Frankl’s scale at every visit at the clinic. Statistical analysis was performed using PSPP 1.2 afp005.

Results:  A positive modification of the behavioural pattern was recorded in 93.7% of cases. The main factors influencing the behavioural pattern were age and the use of ART techinique (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Behavioural treatment can be a valuable tool in improving the acceptance of dental treatments in children and adolescents.

Abstract:

Job satisfaction among health care professionals has been linked to various aspects of patient care and health system outcomes as well as to general life satisfaction and job performance. It is of immense significance for any organization to have complete awareness of the level of job satisfaction of its workforce. Asnani School Oral Health Program was initiated in November 2018 by Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC), Qatar, as a novel initiative to provide dental screening services, preventive treatments like fluoride varnish applications and pit and fissure sealants along with referrals for treatment children in Qatar employing bipartite strategy i.e., at schools and at Health Centers (HC).

 

 Objectives: 1) To assess job satisfaction of dental professionals in Asnani School Oral Health Program. 2)To evaluate the attitude of the Asnani dental professionals towards their work. 3)To elucidate the underlying factors which may impact their job satisfaction and to improve the efficiency of dental professionals in Asnani program by addressing their grievances.

Methodology: Online survey questionnaire tool was designed to assess the job satisfaction of 23 dental professionals (7 Dentists, 4 Dental Hygienists and 12 Dental Assistants) engaged in Asnani School Oral Health Program.

Results: Majority of the dental professionals expressed their satisfaction about being a part of Asnani School Oral Health Program. More than half of respondents rated high workload at both the schools and Health Centers. Only about one third of them perceived that the workload was almost right. 81% reported good work-life balance and 88% felt connected to their team.

Conclusion: Overall job satisfaction was judged to be good among majority of the dental professionals in Asnani School Oral Health Program and they had a positive attitude towards their work.

Abstract:

Aim:  The aim of this study was to compare the safety, tolerability and efficacy of corticosteroid and corticosteroid combined with azathioprine in oral pemphigus vulgaris patients.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, data of 47 patients with oral pemphigus vulgaris were evaluated and statistically analyzed during a 14-year period (2004-2018).
All patients started treatment with oral prednisolone 1mg/kg/d (group I). 22 patients who did not respond to this treatment in 6 weeks time were placed on a combination regimen consisting of prednisolone 1mg/ kg/d with 100 mg azathioprine twice daily (group II). All patients were referred every two weeks for medication tapering, evaluation of side effects, lesion examination and follow-up. The time to recovery was considered as the time from treatment to the first follow up session where all lesions had recovered and no new lesions had formed.

Results:  Both groups showed a high degree of favorable clinical response. That is complete treatment was seen in 13 patients (52%) of group I and 13 patients (59.1%) of group II. The mean time to recovery was 163.96 days for group I, and 134.24 days for group II. Only one patient did not show response to any treatment. However, the comparison of side effects in the two groups in this study showed that the side effects of drug use were significantly lower in the combination diet group.( Complications in group one were 80% and in group two 50% P = 0.030)

Conclusion:
Both treatments were effective. In patients with less severe disease, systemic corticosteroids are preferable to combination regimens. Because of this, the unknown effects of adding immunosuppressive drugs to the patient cannot be imposed. However, when the disease is more severe, the combined regimen can be used effectively and safely to treat the disease and prevent the patient from being exposed to higher doses of prednisone and its adverse effects.

Alrouh Mosab Al Saadoon is a postgraduate student at King Saud University, he is constantly engaged in variable outstanding health promotion activities with a strong emphasis on patient’s care. His thesis and education focusing on anxiety management expanded my knowledge and have gained me a vast amount of insight regarding this aspect.

 

Abstract:

Dental anxiety is a broad term which includes all different types of dental fears and phobias (Porritt et al., 2013). It is extremely common affecting both adults and children. It is known that dental anxiety majorly contributes to dental avoidance, which will negatively affect the individual’s oral health and quality of life (McGrath and Bedi, 2004). Therefore, it is necessary to assess the patient’s anxiety, as it will help in directing the most appropriate means for their management.

 

Biography:

Maram A Alagla is a senior pediatric dentistry doctoral candidate at King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. She has always been interested in early childhood caries, behavioral dental management of young children and parenting styles. Maram is eager to find solutions to young children’s dental challenges and overall oral health.

 

Abstract:

Objective: The purpose of the study is to correlate the parenting styles of parents with the oral health of their children, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Study design: Two hundred and eighty healthy preschool children, who have never been to the dentist, were recruited. Parenting style was determined by the Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ). World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and simplified debris index (DI-S) were used for the diagnosis of dental caries and oral hygiene of the children respectively.

Results: Two parenting styles were identified among Saudi parents; authoritative (94%, n = 265) and permissive (6%, n = 17). The majority of children were brushing by themselves (n = 130, 46.1%) and once per day (n = 163, 57.8%). Significant correlations were detected between parenting style and children’s brushing times (P-value of 0.016) and the number of meals consumed by children (P-value of 0.031). The age of the child and oral hygiene score were significantly correlated to dental caries (P-value < 0.05).

Conclusion: Two parenting styles were identified among Saudi parents. Parenting style influenced the child’s oral health but not significantly. Early childhood caries and fair to poor oral hygiene were commonly detected among children. Clinically interesting correlations were identified regarding factors affecting the child’s oral health status.
