Commoditisation of teeth – the economics of implants versus teeth A/Prof Stephen Chen Dentistry has always been about teeth – the prevention of dental disease and management of pathological processes. But when the focus shifts from health to the business of dentistry, teeth become a marketable commodity. This presentation explores the good and the bad of commercialisation in dentistry.
Presenters Associate Professor Stephen Chen
At the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Define what a commodity is in the context of dentistry • Describe the long-term prognosis of teeth and implants.
The success of implants versus traditional prosthetics – what goes on underneath? Dr Gordon Burt To maintain a tooth or replace it with a prosthesis is a decision dentists must make daily. Choices should be based on the presenting situation and the patient’s circumstances. They are influenced by evidence-based literature, experience and preference. A ‘one size fits all’ philosophy highlights a fault in providing informed health care. This lecture will discuss the various clinical dilemmas and present a measured approach to solutions.
Dr Gordon Burt
Dr Simon Wylie
At the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Reflect on their own philosophy of restorative dentistry • Understand patients’ expectations and other influences on their treatment planning • Recognise the need to consider improving their diagnostic and clinical skills • Implement some of the thoughts presented into their daily practise.
Patient and site factors influencing treatment planning for implant-retained prosthesis and tooth-born prostheses Dr Simon Wylie This session explores patient and site factors influencing treatment planning for a conventional bridge or implant restoration. We will review these considerations looking at various sires of the mouth. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: • Consider the success rates of alternative options • Be more confident with treatment planning
