NZDA CONFERENCE 2018

From the
President
                       Simply the Best

                       This year’s conference is a mixture of old and new, with enough of
                       the old to satisfy the traditionalists, but plenty of new to appeal to
                       everyone.
                       Read the following pages and see what’s on offer at this year’s NZDA
                       Conference.
                       There is an excellent group of scientific speakers, both international
                       and local covering a range of topics with something for everyone.
                       Bring the team for Team day on Thursday, where a programme tailored
                       to the needs of dental assistants and practice managers has been
                       assembled.
                       Once again the Employment Fair coincides with conference, and
                       the final year class from Otago will be there. If you are looking to
                       employ a young dentist we will have them all here at the conference.
                       Don’t miss this opportunity!
Bill O’Connor
President, NZDA        Alongside the lecture programme on Friday afternoon are three
                       technical sessions on patient experience, Google rankings, and
                       digital marketing and practitioner responsibility in advertising.
                       Learn something new!
                       Continuing the wellness theme of 2018 there will be workshops
                       on managing stress, and mindfulness and self compassion to enable
                       us to take better care of ourselves.
                       Which is where collegiality comes in with the social programme. There
                       will be a happy hour amongst the industry, and the inaugural Conference
                       Dinner and NZDA Awards evening at the fabulous Cordis Hotel, which
                       is free to all delegates.
                       This will be a night of glamour and entertainment and an opportunity
                       to recognise some of our colleagues for the outstanding work they do.
                       So take this opportunity to dress your best and make this a night to
                       remember.
                       Mark off August 16,17 and 18 from your work diary to come to
                       Conference 2018 and find out why NZDA Conferences are ‘better than
                       all the rest!’

at every touchpoint and optimising clinical outcomes.

Using real-life scenarios to structure the session, you will be

proportionate to their initial level of anxiety, it follows therefore
that the first step in management is assessment. Techniques for

Oral health is critically dependent on behaviour. It is very clear
what patients can do to maintain and improve the heath of their

skills required to engage in the behaviour; Opportunity - the
environment to support behaviour change; Motivation - the
implicit and explicit drive to engage in the behaviour. Simple
techniques for enhancing these three components will be
outlined.

evidence-based treatments are still of paramount importance.
The timing of orthodontic intervention for growing patients has
long been a topic of considerable debate. Careful and focused
interceptive treatment for localised problems can be of great
benefit, however, wholesale prescription of early treatment to
either prevent or treat malocclusion is questionable.
Astute marketing by supply companies and practitioners
have certainly whetted the appetite for short-term orthodontic
alignment with braces or clear plastic aligners. Digital treatment
planning and outcome predictions may appear impressive,
however, difficulties arise when the progress of treatment or the
final results do not match the predictions.
The presentation also explores how increasing patient
expectations require increasing clinical competency and
awareness to prevent the pitfalls in practice.

Peri-implant pathology:
from non-surgical management to explanation
This CPD presentation aims to discuss recent advances in
periodontal therapy which have influenced our management
of Periodontitis and Peri-implant diseases. Participants will be
encouraged to develop their clinical knowledge and assessment
skills; learning how to identify potential problems before they
occur and increase patient comfort and clinical efficiency.
Participants will also discover Guided Biofilm Therapy® and
learn why it integrates with the modern concept of preventive
and minimally-invasive dentistry. At the end of the session,
participants will also gain a better understanding of the role of
AIRFLOW® and PIEZON® technology in the modern dental
practice.
