SCIENTIFIC SESSION 18: PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Unusual eating habits and poor oral hygiene dental problem in children is very common in recent years. Pediatric dentists deal with dental health of children; to care child’s teeth, gums and mouth throughout the various stages of childhood. To provide treatment, a paediatric dentist must understand the specific dental and behavioural needs of a paediatric patient as they hold different dentition than adults. A dental visit is essential within six months after the presence of the first tooth, this aid in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay and early detection helps to prevent and treat at early stages.

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 17: ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY

Oral and maxillofacial surgery includes diagnosis, surgery and treatment of defects, injuries and diseases mainly in the oral hard and soft tissues, head, neck, face and maxillofacial region i.e. jaws and face. Functions of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may include dental replacements, jaw, oral and facial tumour diagnosis and removal, jaw and facial bone alignment, jaw reconstruction, etc. Technology in the field of radiology is changing so quickly that practitioners like oral and maxillofacial radiologists are pioneers in a constantly evolving field of practice. It’s an exciting and growing specialty for dental students to consider. Recent innovations in oral and maxillofacial surgery include trans-oral robotic surgery and titanium miniplates in the field of guided maxillofacial surgery.

Session 16

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 16: FORENSIC DENTISTRY

The proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence which will be then presented in the interest of justice is termed as Forensic dentistry. The evidence that may be derived from teeth is the age and identification of the person to whom the teeth belong. This is done using dental records including radiographs, ante-mortem and post-mortem photographs and DNA.

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 15: COSMETIC DENTISTRY

The word Cosmetic Dentistry is used to refer to any dental work that enhances the appearance of teeth, gums as well as gingiva. It principally concentrates on improvement dental aesthetics in shading, position, shape, size, arrangement and general smile appearance. Many dental specialists refer to themselves as “cosmetic dentists”. Cosmetic dentistry procedures are used for the aesthetic appearance of the teeth ie. Tooth colored fillings, fractured teeth and proper alignment of teeth.

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 14: RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

The term “Restorative Dentistry” is the integrated management of oral health problems and restoring of the mouth to a functional and Esthetic state. Many of the procedures are also covered by the dental specialty of prosthodontic dentistry, including fillings, veneers, crowns, bridges, full and partial dentures and dental implants. The objective of restorative dentistry is to work along with dental and surgical specialists to deal with complex treatments like hypodontia, cleft lip, traumatic injuries, oral cancer, etc.

It is a surgical speciality that deals with the treatment of acquired deformalities of the head, skull, face, neck, jaws and associated structures. Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis, rare craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequellae of facial fractures, cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Apert’s Syndrome, Crouzon’s Syndrome, Craniofacial microsomia, microtia and other congenital ear anomalies, and many others.

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 12: DENTAL SURGERY

Surgery of the teeth and jaw bones to artificially modify the dentition is called the dental surgery. However, dental medicine isn’t only about fixing your teeth but also covers other aspects of craniofacial complex, such as the temporomandibular structure and other supporting structures. In turn, dental surgery procedures don’t only cover root canals and removal of wisdom teeth that are impacted.

Session 11

SCIENTIFIC SESSION 11: 3D VIRTUAL PLANNING DENTISTRY

3D Virtual Imaging is one of the most significant tools for orthodontists to evaluate and record size and form of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists regularly use 2-dimensional (2D) static imaging procedures, but deepness of structures cannot be acquired and restricted with 2D imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990’s and has gained a prized place in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics. In 3D diagnostic imaging, a series of anatomical records is gathered using certain technical equipment, processed by a computer and later presented on a 2D monitor to present the illusion of deepness.
