Dr Johan Aps | Associate Professor UWA
I took an X-ray. What can I see?
This lecture will address radiation safety and radiation doses, putting the doses into perspective with the natural background radiation.
Several intraoral and extraoral radiographic techniques will be explained, in order to enable the dental practitioner to acquire superb and optimal quality images. Modifications of some techniques for patients with special needs will be highlighted.
Understanding the equipment the practitioner uses in the clinic, will benefit patients undergoing the procedures and staff executing them. Finally, in an interactive session, examples of intraoral and extraoral radiographs with incidental findings, anatomical variations and pathology will be discussed.
At the end of this lecture, the attendee will have gained practically useable knowledge about:
- radiation doses from diagnostic imaging and will be able to put them into perspective.
- intraoral and extraoral radiographic techniques and will be able to use them in their clinic.
- anatomical variations and common pathology on intra- and extra-oral radiographs.

Dr Ahmed Saleh | Specialist Periodontist
Periodontal prognosis: To extract or not and when to refer
How accurate are we at determining the prognosis of periodontally compromised teeth? Are we too hasty in making decisions to extract?
This lecture will test your optimism/pessimism towards periodontally compromised teeth. The management of different clinical scenarios will be presented including advanced periodontal disease, endo-perio lesions and furcation involvement. The factors affecting the decision to manage or refer will also be discussed.
The 2017 classification of periodontal disease
A classification scheme of periodontal and peri-implant conditions is always necessary to facilitate communication between dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists and periodontists. The 2017 classification of periodontal disease has been introduced by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). This lecture will discuss the key points of this classification with relevant clinical cases and how it may assist dental therapists/hygienists in giving adequate advice to patients regarding their management and their periodontal maintenance.
