This two part blog, to be posted tonight and tomorrow night, will give you a bit of a deeper insight into who’s speaking at The DES Conference and what they’re speaking about.
You can book a place at the conference here.
Previous blogs about the conference are here and here.
Chris Barrow - Chris will give an eighteen minute (or so) round up of life coaching and life launching. A way to reinvigorate yourself with a new career and within your life. A great start to any conference.
Richard Brookshaw – Richard is a pioneer and huge exponent of immediate full arch loading in the All-On-4 concept. He has taken this one step further with zygomatic implants and is one of the most experienced in the use of zygomatic implants in the UK. A very short whistle-stop tour of what we can do to help patients who have otherwise been defined as ‘dental no-hopers’.
Colin Campbell – I plan to give a short lecture on a different way to do case notes and emails using digital technology. If you are prepared to take this on it’s perhaps the most important lecture you will hear this year in providing time for you to do whatever you want in the evenings instead of writing case notes and letters and typing emails in front of the TV. My method of case notes has also been tested by the GDC and found to have no fault.
Andrew Legg – Andy’s lecture is entitled ‘Flaps and Flanges’!! and will be a mixture of surgery and restorative dentistry to give tips that you might not have heard elsewhere.
Rajan Nansi – Rajan will give a short summary of the links of periodontal disease to systemic health and how you can discuss these with your patient.
Neil Poyser – Neil will give alternative treatments to implant dentistry; the use of precision attachments (for which he is an expert) and how to attach dentures in all types of circumstances.
James Russell – James is a well known dentist from ‘Embarrassing Bodies’ and will be able to describe his concept of minimally invasive and minimally interventional cosmetic dentistry using alignment, bleaching and bonding technologies all in under twenty minutes.
Beatriz Sanchez – Beatriz’s lecture is called ‘The power of a smile’ and she will talk about her experiences on the other side, as a patient, and how important our approach, understanding and empathy is when treating patients.
Dhru Shah - Dhru (from Dentinal Tubules) will talk about the future of dental education.
Mark Topley – Mark is the CEO of Bridge2Aid and will give us all some perspective in how lucky we are when he talks about dental charity work in Tanzania.
Hopefully this will give you insight into what will go on. The DES Conference in on June 17th and we would love to see as many of you there as possible. If we go over a specific amount of people we will video the lectures for posterity and in perpetuity.
