From the 26-29 May, the ADI Team Congress 2022, entitled “The Great Debate: Current Dilemmas in Dental Implantology”, offers a blend of moderated discussions, debates and presentations, with something for every member of the dental team!
This special event is not to be missed – delegates can hear from a range of internationally renowned speakers, sharing their expertise and insights on a wealth of topics regarding current issues in dental implantology. From dentists to dental technicians, dental hygienists and therapists to dental nurses and practice managers, there is something for everyone at the ADI Team Congress 2022.
The Plenary Programme covers topics that include the treatment of the failed central incisor, correction of soft tissue defects around dental implants and prosthetic challenges in implant dentistry. Plus, delegates have the chance to take part in a treatment planning session with audience participation!
Robert Oretti, an esteemed speaker in this year’s Plenary Programme, is a post graduate tutor for the Thames Valley deanery and a speaker for the ADI (Association of Dental Implantology). He will be part of a panel discussion, focusing on treatment planning. Robert comments:
“My presentation will focus on a selected case for an interactive treatment planning session. The chosen case will be a challenging scenario that demonstrates how several different clinical approaches could be utilised to deliver an excellent outcome.
“This promises to be an exciting and highly interactive session to help clinicians analyse challenging cases and to learn from how the speakers and expert panel members would approach the case.”
The Team Programme will provide all delegates the chance to receive relevant advice and practical information they can implement in-practice. The previous ADI DCP Representative, Julia Wilson, comments on the 2022 Team Programme:
“The 2022 Team Programme is now quite diverse, so I feel there will be something for everyone, with lots of advice and practical information.
“I am particularly excited that Pravesh Solanki – a truly inspirational speaker – will be opening the Team Programme. This should ensure a lively opening to a long-awaited Team Congress. The afternoon session, which was created by Fiona Sandom, will ignite great debates and will bring all the team together. Natasha Donnelly has also done a fantastic job with the Dental Nurses’ Programme, providing a great line-up of speakers and introducing new professionals like Adele Holland to the podium.”
The Nurses’ and Practice Managers’ Programme covers topics such as the contaminated dental implant, the role of a dental implant coordinator, and whether there is the need for two dental nurses during dental implant placement. Delegates will receive relevant, up-to-date information to aid them in enhancing patient treatment and the practice’s success. The Hygienists’ and Therapists’ Programme will also cover the topic of contaminated dental implants, as well as dental implants in compromised or high-risk patients and digital vs non-digital dentistry. For the first morning sessions, all team members will attend together and then split for more tailored learning. In the afternoon, everyone will join back together for the ‘The Great Debate: Is Skill Mix Safe?’.
For the Technicians’ Programme, delegates will hear the speakers’ views on the pros and cons of different full arch dental implant restorations, advanced zirconia methods and digital vs analogue methods. These topics will aid delegates in developing their skill sets and implementing this indispensable information into their work.
Chris Powell, a dental technician, started his career in prosthetics 25 years ago, learning most of his skills on the job and working closely with dentists and technicians from Harley Street to Sydney and currently working in Oxfordshire at Byrnes Dental Laboratory. Chris will be discussing “Digital v Analogue Dentures Version 2.0”, alongside Davide Accetto. Chris comments:
“I’m presenting the analogue half of the lecture, so I will be talking about managing the transition. I want to show the stages that I think work and the stages that don’t, as well as the steps that are nearly there but need some more R&D.
“This is by far one of the best lecture days for technicians out there. It is not only informative and full of modern, forward-thinking education, but it’s also a fantastic social scene. It’s without a doubt the one date in the technician’s diary you should pencil in and attend – especially as the line-up for 2022 is incredible.”
The ADI Team Congress 2022 is unmissable. Alongside a wonderful, unique mix of educational resources, there will be plenty of opportunities for networking and socialising, such as at the Congress Drinks and Congress Dinner (which has a Roaring Twenties theme!) If you haven’t done so already, be sure to book your place – we hope to see you there!
