Lecture overview:
From Oral Health to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery- Dr Jacqueline Dobes
Pathology of the face, jaws and oral mucosa
This presentation is a series of cases of pathology, which can present in usual and unusual ways. The scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery will also be discussed, in order to understand the reasoning behind referral, and to gain some understanding of management of patients with, or at risk of oral pathology.
Learning objectives:
- To recognise and identify the different presentations of pathology that will require specialist referral
- To understand the role of interdisciplinary care of patients

E-cigarettes: public health and clinical considerations for the dental hygienist -Sinan Brown
What is the contemporary global evidence on a range of issues related to e-cigarettes?
Sinan will discuss research evidence related to e-cigarettes, including prevalence of use and their impacts on health, smoking uptake and smoking cessation. Implications for public health and clinical practice will be a key component of this talk, as well as the role of the tobacco and e-cigarette industries, recent changes in Australian legislation, novel nicotine delivery products (e.g. nicotine pouches) and debunking common myths and misconceptions surrounding these products.
At the conclusion of this talk, participants will understand:
- What an e-cigarette is and their patterns of use in the Australian context
- Evidence on health impacts associated with e-cigarette use, with an in-depth understanding of outcomes related to oral health
- Evidence regarding e-cigarettes and smoking uptake and smoking cessation
- Systematic review methods and how evidence is gathered/appraisedImplications of e-cigarettes for public health and clinical practice
- Recent changes in Australian legislation on e-cigarettes
- How the tobacco and closely-related e-cigarette industry are key drivers of current issues related to e-cigarettes
- Myths and misconceptions related to e-cigarettes, including arguments perpetuated by industry and advocates

Drugs are bad m'kay!? - Belinda Mackenzie
Bisphosphonates/Osteoporosis and the oral implications we need to be aware of in clinical practice
Osteoporosis affects women and to a lesser degree men over a certain age. The use of bisphosphonates to strengthen and reduce bone degradation has been in practice now for 20 plus years. The emerging impact of both oral and IV bisphosphonates in view of dental hygiene in work both deep and shallow has lead to the in depth study and recommendations around bisphosphonates; especially in development of bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).
This talk aims to look at the current evidence as well as practice guidelines for everyday use in dental practice with emphasis on the importance of regular cleaning to prevent development of deep problems.
learning objectives: Recent update advice for dental treatments in view of the impacts of bisphosphonate use
