Session Introduction

Augusto Andre BAPTISTA

Baptista Dental Group, Luxembourg

Title: Dynamic Scalable Therapeutic Gradient (DST Gradient) applied to a dental agenesis clinical case
Speaker
Biography:

Dr. Augusto Andre BAPTISTA, PhD of Oral and Dental Surgery from Faculty of Nancy. Master’s degree in biomedical research. Former
chief resident of Oral Surgery in Nancy University Hospital. Postgraduate degree in Surgical Odontology, Aesthe􀆟 cs, Periodontology
and Prosthesis. Creator & founder of the BAPTISTA DENTAL GROUP Clinic, he prac􀆟 ces Oral and Implant Surgery as well as Cosme􀆟 c
Odontology in Luxembourg. His areas of exper􀆟 se are complex global oral treatments, with a biomime􀆟 c, minimally invasive and
aesthe􀆟 c approach. To his credit: many na􀆟 onal and interna􀆟 onal publica􀆟 ons.

Abstract:

In modern den􀆟 stry we need to take care of our
pa􀆟 ents thinking in the evolu􀆟 on of our treatments
during the 􀆟 me. Aesthe􀆟 c is no more an op􀆟 on
but need to be performed by a minimally invasive,
func􀆟 onal and biomime􀆟 c way taking into account of
the a long term period of life of our pa􀆟 ents. To reach
this goal we need guide lines.
This clinical case shows an example of the applica􀆟 on
of the dynamic scalable therapeu􀆟 c gradient (DST
gradient ©) and shows a minimally invasive way
to restore the aesthe􀆟 c and func􀆟 on of a mul􀆟 ple
dental agenesis in the anterior zone of the maxilla
in a young pa􀆟 ent a􀅌 er an orthodon􀆟 c treatment.
Everything performed without implants, bone
gra􀅌 ing and heavy gingival gra􀅌 therapies. We have
only used two E-max can􀆟 lever bridges with one
wing each, bonding on 11 and 21 to replace the two
lateral incisors and some so􀅌 gingival surgeries like
pinhole technique and so􀅌 gingival management by
abrasions.

Deepti Khanna

Baba Farid University, India

Title: Dental problems in pregnant women
Speaker
Biography:

Dr. Deep􀆟 Khanna is a Post Graduate in Orthodon􀆟 cs & Dentofacial Orthopaedics, from Baba Farid University, Punjab, and Graduate
of Buddha Dental College, Patna, Bihar, India. Dr Deep􀆟 Khanna has an experience of more than a decade in the fi eld of den􀆟 stry and
has up to date knowledge of the latest methods & advancements . She has successfully treated mal-aligned teeth in all age groups
from Children to Senior Ci􀆟 zens ,especially females who tend to ignore Oral Health as a social s􀆟 gma .Her compassion to serve the
needy has always associated her with various Charitable Organisaô€†Ÿ ons & NGO’s, helping the poor to get the needful Orthodonô€†Ÿ c &
Dental Treatment. She is also associated with one of the pres􀆟 gious IVF & Surrogacy Centre in New Delhi wherein she developed a
special interest in Oral Healthcare of Pregnant women and started educa􀆟 ng importance of Oral Health along with the other aspects
during Pregnancy.

Abstract:

Most of the women in India do not visit the
den􀆟 st during pregnancy as they believe
they cannot take any medica􀆟 ons for 9 months.
However ,regular checkups and good dental health
habits can help keep you and your baby healthy. A
gesta􀆟 onal woman requires various levels of support
throughout this 􀆟 me, such as medical monitoring
or interven􀆟 on, preven􀆟 ve care and physical and
emo􀆟 onal assistance. Ge􀆫 ng a checkup during
pregnancy is safe and important for your dental
health. Not only can you take care of cleanings
and procedures like cavity fi llings before your baby
is born, but your den􀆟 st can help you with any
pregnancy-related dental symptoms you might be
experiencing.
Methods: A study was done on 50 pregnant women
for a period of 9 months to understand the dental
problems they face and the concerns they have for
visi􀆟 ng a den􀆟 st. A performa was given to them
during 6 weeks, 12 weeks , 20 weeks and 30 weeks
of pregnancy. They had to chose the problems
related to teeth which occurred at diff erent phases
of pregnancy.
Pregnant women may be more prone to cavi􀆟 es
for a number of reasons. If you’re eaô€†Ÿ ng more
carbohydrates than usual, this can cause decay.
Morning sickness can increase the amount of acid
your mouth is exposed to, which can eat away at the
outer covering of your tooth (enamel).
Pregnancy gingivi􀆟 s is a well recognized en􀆟 ty. Your
mouth can be aff ected by the hormonal changes
you will experience during pregnancy. For example,
some women develop a condi􀆟 on known as
“pregnancy gingiviô€†Ÿ s,” an infl ammaô€†Ÿ on of the gums
that can cause swelling and tenderness. Your gums
also may bleed a li􀆩 le when you brush or fl oss. Le􀅌
untreated, gingivi􀆟 s can lead to more serious forms
of gum disease. Your den􀆟 st may recommend more
frequent cleanings to prevent this.
Pregnancy does not cause periodontal disease
but it does worsen an exis􀆟 ng condi􀆟 on. Pyogenic
granulomas (pregnancy tumours) occur in about
1% to 5% of the pregnant women. In some women,
overgrowths of ô€†Ÿ ssue called “pregnancy tumors”
appear on the gums, most o􀅌 en during the second
trimester. It is not cancer but rather just swelling that
happens most o􀅌 en between teeth. They may be
related to excess plaque. They bleed easily and have
a red, raw-looking raspberry-like appearance.
If you’re pregnant and need a fi lling, root canal or
tooth pulled, one thing you don’t have to worry
about is the safety of the numbing medica􀆟 ons your
den􀆟 st may use during the procedure. They are, in
fact, safe for both you and your baby.
It is also safe to get an X-ray during pregnancy.
Although radia􀆟 on from dental X-rays is extremely
low, your den􀆟 st or hygienist will cover you with
a leaded apron that minimizes exposure to the
abdomen. Your dental offi ce will also cover your
throat with a leaded collar to protect your thyroid
from radia􀆟 on.
Results: Most of the pa􀆟 ents face morning sickness
in the fi rst trimester of pregnancy which demo􀆟 vates
them to start with any treatment. Fluoride treatment
may be needed for pa􀆟 ents with severe gastric
refl ux caused by nausea and vomi􀆟 ng during early
pregnancy, which can cause erosion of tooth enamel.
Pregnancy gingivi􀆟 s usually appears in the fi rst
trimester of pregnancy. This form of gingivi􀆟 s results
from increased levels of progesterone and estrogen
causing an exaggerated gingival infl ammatory
reac􀆟 on to local irritants. Coronal scaling, polishing
and root planning may be performed at any 􀆟 me as
required to maintain oral health. However, rou􀆟 ne
general den􀆟 stry should usually only be done
in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
Acetaminophen, is the safest analgesic for use
during pregnancy. Local anesthe􀆟 cs are rela􀆟 vely
safe when administered properly and in the correct
amounts.
Conclusion: Op􀆟 mal oral health is very important
for the pregnant pa􀆟 ent and can be provided
safely and eff ec􀆟 vely. Paying a􀆩 en􀆟 on to the
physiologic changes associated with pregnancy,
prac􀆟 sing careful radia􀆟 on hygiene measures,
prescribing medica􀆟 ons on the basis of drug safety
categories and 􀆟 ming appointments and aggressive
management of oral infec􀆟 on appropriately are
important considera􀆟 ons. Given the possibility
that periodontal disease may aff ect pregnancy
outcomes, den􀆟 sts need to play a proac􀆟 ve role
in the maintenance of the oral health of pregnant
women

Title: Art and Science between Digital and Manual Smile Makeover
Biography:

Graduated in 2014 from Tikrit University, faculty of den􀆟 stry and in 2017 received his offi cial DSD Cer􀆟 fi ed member at interna􀆟 onal
team. During the three years 2014-2018 has a􀆩 ended a numbers of refresher courses and developing skill na􀆟 onally and interna􀆟 onally.
In 2019 received his membership from Styleitalian as a SILVER member at Styleitaliano and also got the MSc degree in esthe􀆟 c
den􀆟 stry from AL-Mustansirya university in Baghdad.

Abstract:

Smile Makeover between art and science (indirect
restora􀆟 ons from A to Z in full steps and details)
for diffi cult and challenging cases in our daily work
denô€†Ÿ stry” Nowadays, most of the peoples seeking
for white teeth but why?? Because the white teeth
mean healthy teeth, the pa􀆟 ent appear younger
and also increase the confi dence of the person. So
its important to diff eren􀆟 ate between fake white
and naturel white teeth to off er the best results to
our pa􀆟 ent and to draw the correct treatment plan
to pa􀆟 ent and also its necessary to know the pa􀆟 ent
demand that play major factor in our treatment. We
will discus the pa􀆟 ent need and how to diagnose
and treat the case by digital approach, DSD and
mo􀆟 va􀆟 onal mock-up before touching the natural
teeth, criteria of minimal invasive prepara􀆟 on of
the teeth, most accurate impression techniques and
fi nally the cementa􀆟 on protocol of fi xed prosthesis
either crowns or veneers.

Senouci Bereksi Fatima Zohra

Conservative Dentistry and Endodontic Service, Algeria

Title: Clinical Applications of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in endodontics
Speaker
Biography:

Senouci Bereksi Fa􀆟 ma Zohra, 26 years old, from Tlemcen (ALGERIA), resident in 3rd year of conserva􀆟 ve den􀆟 stry and endodon􀆟 cs
at the University Hospital of Tlemcen. I do a lot of scien􀆟 fi c research concerning endodon􀆟 cs, I also par􀆟 cipated in a lot of congresses
including the 8th interna􀆟 onal symposium of den􀆟 stry in Monas􀆟 r, Tunisia in 2018; and the French society of pediatric den􀆟 stry in
Marseille, France in 2017.

Abstract:

MTA® is currently considered to be the gold
standard of endodon􀆟 c repair cements, which
has been clinically and radiologically sa􀆟 sfactory
and has greatly a􀆩 ributed to postopera􀆟 ve bone
and mucosal healing. The objec􀆟 ve of this work is
to review the clinical and radiological eff ec􀆟 veness
of MTA® in relaô€†Ÿ on to its applicaô€†Ÿ on in diff erent
clinical protocols. In the conserva􀆟 ve den􀆟 stry and
endodon􀆟 c department of Tlemcen (Algeria), fi ve
pa􀆟 ents with diff erent pathologies were treated.
MTA® has been used in fi ve operaô€†Ÿ ve protocols:
apexifi ca􀆟 on, treatment of external root resorp􀆟 ons,
repairing of root perfora􀆟 ons, apical root fractures
and retrograde root canal fi llings. Our therapeu􀆟 c
strategy was fi rst to achieve a water􀆟 ght seal by
placing an MTA® apical barrier, which will secondly
induce the mineraliza􀆟 on processes. Our clinical
trials show high success rates achieved with MTA®,
especially in apical surgery, apart from some
diffi culty in handling and stability of the MTA® felt
by the operator. The MTA® is therefore considered
a poten􀆟 ally alterna􀆟 ve material to other materials
used in our endodon􀆟 c service.

Abstract:

At 􀆟 mes where diseases such as Ebola, novel
Coronavirus and other infec􀆟 ous disease
outbreaks hold the news headlines, public health
den􀆟 stry ma􀆩 ers seem to be insignifi cant and
currently too small for any kind of media. Even more
so, it must be men􀆟 oned that dental public health
measures – whether in the area of prevenô€†Ÿ on or
similar do ma􀆩 er quite a bit. Teeth are painful
when we get them, then we lose them, and even
more so with issues. The current developments in
nutri􀆟 on including the increased soda consump􀆟 on
has accelerated caries and other dental problems. A
varying degree of dental hygiene, dental awareness
along with o􀅌 en required out-of-pocket dental
related spending due to too expensive dental health
insurance schemes have led to increased dental
and gum problems. Now, these issues do not only
occur among less socio-economic privileged, but
also among the wealthier popula􀆟 on. Dental care
spending is s􀆟 ll perceived a luxury and done only
when really needed, rather than an investment in
the overall individual wellbeing to minimize ground
for infec􀆟 ons. This trend is observed across the globe
with nutri􀆟 on being less natural. The no􀆟 on taking
dental health for granted leads to cut-back of related
public health measures funding due to no quick
impact and thus, no real benefi t being visible to
current decision-makers and poli􀆟 cians. What might
seem an unnecessary spending on the public dental
health today, will back-fi re over 􀆟 me in the future as
mul􀆟 ple infec􀆟 ons based in the mouth/teeth and a
poten􀆟 ally weakened human immune system.

Junio Silva

Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil

Title: The prep dilemma: how to approach noninvasive, extended, classical veneers and crowns
Speaker
Biography:

Junio Silva completed his studies from Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. My lecture addresses key evidence-based considerations regarding the rehabilitation of the anterior dentition using porcelain crowns, noninvasive, traditional and extended veneers.

Abstract:

Clinicians and researchers have long sought conservative treatment approaches to restore anterior teeth with long-lasting and esthetic materials. This endeavor led to the development of ceramic systems that wed aesthetics with function. Accordingly, fabricating porcelain veneers without requiring tooth preparation became possible, thus reinforcing the concept that the noninvasive porcelain laminate veneers are versatile and conservative allies of the aesthetic dentistry. However, even though noninvasive veneers can serve as an alternative to classic and extended veneers or even to full crown preparations, they are not the best choice for all clinical situations.

The main advantages of adhesive dentistry may be completely misconceived when bonding porcelain veneers while ignoring the basic fundamentals that have made these restorations successful for nearly three decades. Therefore it is paramount that the clinician know how to indicate all porcelain restorations inasmuch as their longevity is highly dependent on patient, remaining tooth tissue, and ceramic related factors. Therefore, choosing the most adequate restorative approach when restoring the anterior dentition is crucial to achieving a conservative, long-lasting and yet esthetic treatment. My lecture addresses key evidence-based considerations regarding the rehabilitation of the anterior dentition using porcelain crowns, noninvasive, traditional and extended veneers.

Kalpak Peter

Government Dental College & Hospital, India

Title: Impact of Periodontal disease on systemic health- An insight into the perplex
Speaker
Biography:

Dr. Kalpak Peter is currently working as Assistant Professor in Department of Periodontology at Government Dental College & Hospital, Nagpur and has a total work experience of 9 years after M.D.S. He has passed his graduation (B.D.S.) from SPDC Wardha and procured his post-graduation in the field of Periodontology & Oral Implantology (M.D.S.) from C.S.M.S.S. Aurangabad. He is a member of Indian society of Periodontology and IDA. He has several international & national publications credited to his name and has a peculiar interest in oral systemic link. His one of the article titled “Association between periodontal disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease- A reality or just a dogma” has been published in a very distinct international journal titled Journal of Periodontology in the year 2013. The article was 8th most searched article in the field medicine that month according the website of medknow. He is a reviewer for several prominent national & international journals. He is certified examiner and an approved teacher for various universities and is known for his academic proficiency. Dr. Peter has been a key note speaker in various conferences. Currently Dr. Peter’s research focuses on effects of periodontal intervention on several systemic diseases and determining the population need for a comprehensive periodontal care emphasizing the necessity and the role of periodontal intervention in present health care system.

 

 

Abstract:

According to World Health Organization major chronic diseases currently account for about 40% and by the year 2020 it is expected to rise to 60% of the global burden of all the disease. The most prominent of these diseases are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes mellitus which are linked by common biological and behavioural risk factors. Periodontal disease is a ubiquitously prevalent oral disease and as well it contributes to the global burden of chronic diseases. Interestingly, the interplay of common and modifiable risk factors between periodontal disease and other systemic diseases can lead to distinct health profiles at country and community levels.

                                 Throughout the history of mankind there has been a belief that oral diseases can have an effect on overall health and certain aspects of this doctrine have been part of dentistry for a long time. The possible contribution of oral bacteria in periodontal pockets to bacterial endocarditis has been acknowledged for decades. The present paper confronts an altogether broader perspective wherein it focuses on recent research that increasingly substantiates a role for periodontitis in affecting systemic health. Agonistically, over the years oral health has been invariably neglected in health care system and therefore in this era of modern medicine, dentistry necessitates to be elevated to the forefront in delivering optimum health care to the population worldwide.

This monograph is therefore intended to shed light on perplex of the relationship between periodontal disease and various systemic diseases and to understand the potential influence of periodontal disease on systemic health.
