Dilemmas in managing the hypomineralised 6 Year Molar?
Dr Sally Hibbert | Paediatric Dentist
Molar incisor hypo-mineralisation, is now a recognised and common presentation in clinical practice. Restoration of these teeth can be fraught with difficulties, with regard to choice of materials and obtaining adequate anaesthesia
So when should we restore and which are the best techniques materials to use? Is it better to extract and if so, is there a best time?
Are you radical enough to be conservative? Weighing up evidence for current restorative techniques in paediatric dentistry.
Dr Sally Hibbert | Paediatric Dentist
Despite teaching pulpotomies and stainless steel crowns as the gold standard in dental schools, they are often not practiced once students graduate. Evidence suggests that intracoronal restorative techniques in the primary dentition often fail.
There is a paradigm shift in caries management and research suggests that complete caries removal is not necessary. This presentation will examine the current evidence regarding restorative techniques for the primary dentition.
Pragmatic prevention in Paediatric Dentistry
Dr Sally Hibbert | Paediatric Dentist
It is well known that prevention is better than cure, but how often do we really think about the preventive strategies we advocate? Do you consider whether your advice is both appropriate and practical for your patient, or do you tend to follow a “one size fits all” approach?
It is so easy to fall into the trap of offering the same generic advice to all our patients, regardless of their level need and individual circumstances, and often be left wondering why we have not achieved the desired results.
This lecture will guide you through the process of assessing an individuals’ risk and help you to formulate plans that are tailored to the individual’s needs

Mind your Language: How your language affects your patient’s dental experience.
Pip Wynn Owen | Registered Nurse Educator. Midwife. Directory of Birth Savvy
Language is very powerful and has the ability to effect the way we behave and importantly perceive experiences.
Many health professionals don’t realise that the words they use in their everyday interactions can be perceived in a variety of ways.
Whether your patient enjoys or hates their dental experience can hinge on whether you mind your language or not.
Pip Wynn Owen is a childbirth educator, midwife and mother of 4. Birth Savvy’s focus is on helping women and their partners get the birthing experience they deserve through increasing their knowledge and confidence, and therefore their ability to have an equal relationship with their obstetricians.
