This session explores the critical connections between oral health and overall well-being, with a focus on the functional aspects of oral health, such as chewing ability, swallowing, and tooth retention. We will examine evidence-based tools like the Oral Frailty Index-8 (OFI-8) and Oral Frailty 5 (OF-5), which can help identify individuals at risk of oral frailty. This session will highlight the importance of integrating oral health assessments into broader health evaluations, and the pivotal role dental professionals can play in interdisciplinary care. By understanding the links between oral function and systemic health, dental professionals can contribute to a more holistic approach to patient care. Join us to explore how oral health impacts frailty and systemic well-being, and how dental professionals can lead in this emerging field. Chan Pei Yuan 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM FUNCTIONAL ORAL HEALTH AND HEALTHY AGEING THE CASE FOR POLICY-RELEVANT ORAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS Functional oral health is increasingly recognised as a cornerstone of healthy ageing. This presentation draws on population-level evidence from the United States and Singapore to highlight the critical impact of oral function— particularly chewing ability and tooth retention—on diet quality, mental health, and longevity in older adults. We will explore how epidemiological approaches, including causal inference methods, can deepen our understanding of the relationships between oral function and systemic health. By applying these methods, we can generate policy-relevant insights that inform the design of effective, scalable interventions. The session makes the case for integrating oral health into national healthy ageing strategies, with a focus on prevention, surveillance, and interdisciplinary care. Dental professionals and public health policymakers alike have a pivotal role to play in promoting functional oral health as part of broader efforts to support quality of life and wellbeing in ageing populations. Participants will learn to: Understand the broader health consequences of impaired oral function in older adults. Identify practical, preventive oral health strategies that support healthy ageing. Appreciate the role of epidemiological methods in generating actionable insights for policy and practice. John Tay 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM TEA BREAK / VISIT EXHIBITION 10:30 AM HOW CAN WE EMBRACE CHANGE AND IMPROVE TREATMENT OUTCOME USING CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY The Digital Revolution in Dentistry has provided clinicians with many new diagnostic tools, workflows and appliances. In this presentation, Dr Vlaskalic will discuss how patients and practices may benefit from these digital innovations in terms of diagnosis, patient satisfaction and ultimately improved treatment outcome. Please join her as she shares examples of mixed dentition, multi-disciplinary and other complex cases. Vicki Vlaskalic 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 10 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY ONE, 8 NOVEMBER 2025 LUNCH / VISIT EXHIBITION 12:00 PM OPENING ADDRESS 12:50 PM - 1:00 PM KEYNOTE: MANAGING OROFACIAL PAIN FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE Orofacial pain encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions involving the face, mouth, and jaws, and has the potential to significantly impair daily activities and reduce overall quality of life. The underlying causes of orofacial pains such as temporomandibular disorders, neuropathic pain, and persistent oral or dental pains are often complex and unknown. As a result, effective management requires a comprehensive and patient-centred approach that takes into account the multifaceted nature of these conditions. Patient assessment should evaluate the physical, psychological, social, and functional domains of well-being, ensuring that the impact of pain on every aspect of life is understood. Such holistic evaluation enables clinicians to provide an accurate diagnosis and recognize the broader consequences of pain, beyond its physical aspects. Furthermore, this comprehensive evaluation facilitates the appropriate triage of patients so that care is tailored to their individual needs, with particular attention given to reducing pain-related disability. Early intervention is particularly important, as timely, evidence-based, reversible, and cost-effective treatments can prevent the progression of pain and its impact. By focusing on strategies that not only optimise pain control but also overall function, patients can achieve substantial improvements in their quality of life and daily functioning. Ultimately, this management approach effectively helps restore function, independence, and well-being in affected individuals. Participants will learn to: Understand and apply a biopsychosocial assessment for orofacial pain Triage patients using pain related disability as a key indicator Deliver appropriate management including referral for multidisciplinary management Keynote: Chris Peck 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM POST-TRAUMATIC TRIGEMINAL NEUROPATHIC PAIN - CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT Oral facial pains cover a wide range of acute or persistent symptoms and signs and with multiple clinical types of presentation shaped by the unique expression of the patient. Therefore, guidelines for assessment and diagnostic criteria become crucially important to classify patient correctly and to base intervention and management on best evidence and practice. One type of orofacial pains that frequently cause challenges in the diagnostic assessment is post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pains (PTTNP) because of the unusual and often quite varying types of somatosensory abnormalities associated with pain in the presence of no identifiable lesions in the painful region. The lecture will describe state-of-the art diagnostic criteria and algorithms to rule in or out PTTNP, essentials in the clinical examination and relevant differential diagnostic considerations, the current knowledge and thinking on pathophysiological mechanisms and best-evidence management approaches. Peter Svensson 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM TEA BREAK / VISIT EXHIBITION 3:00 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 11 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY ONE, 8 NOVEMBER 2025 REVOLUTIONISING DENTISTRY: NAVIGATING TRAPS AND UNLOCKING TREASURES IN MODERN PRACTICE In today’s rapidly evolving world—where technology accelerates and inequality deepens—dentistry faces a pivotal reckoning. The profession has been gaining recognition through technological innovation and market growth, yet risks drifting from its core purpose. This talk critically examines three structural traps that might have undermined dentistry’s ethical foundation and the possible “treasures” that could provide a way out. The first trap, the erosion of vocational identity, emerges when dentistry is reduced to a means for personal enrichment, losing sight of its noble aspiration. The second, the commodification of care driven by market- first (neoliberal) systems, reveals itself in clinical environments driven by business metrics, where patients are sometimes viewed as revenue sources rather than fellow human beings to serve. These first two traps have led to the progressive decline in public health outcomes. A sobering illustration of this disconnect is the stagnant global caries rate over the past thirty years—despite sustained investment in research, government funding, and technological advancement. Despite these challenges, some ordinary individuals have made extraordinary choices to rediscover the “treasures” of the noble profession. Some clinicians are reclaiming their professional identity as caring healers, not just service providers. Empathy-driven, patient-centred models are restoring meaning and trust to care. Committed individuals, though a minority, are rising to catalyse change from within. This talk is a call to courage: to rise not merely as profitable practitioners, but as stewards of health, justice, and generational renewal. Participants will learn to: Diagnose the systemic traps confronting modern dentistry by identifying and critically evaluating the major forces undermining the profession’s integrity, and understanding how these contribute to professional disillusionment and stagnant oral health outcomes. Rediscover the noble vocation and psychosocial value of dental practice by reflecting on how re-aligning with dentistry’s original purpose can restore meaning, trust, and professional fulfilment across both private and public settings. Envision and embrace roles as systemic change agents by exploring how clinicians can lead internal reforms and inspire a generational renewal of dentistry as a socially accountable, human-centred profession. Stephen Hsu 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM THERAPEUTIC USES OF BOTULINUM TOXIN IN DENTISTRY Botulinum toxin has expanded beyond its cosmetic applications to offer significant therapeutic benefits in dentistry. This lecture explores the mechanism of action of botulinum toxin and its diverse applications in treating various orofacial conditions. These include temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), bruxism, orofacial pain, and salivary disorders. The presentation will also cover essential clinical considerations for dentists, such as patient selection, potential complications, and post-operative management. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of proper training, ethical practice, and adherence to regulatory guidelines. By understanding the therapeutic potential of botulinum toxin, dental professionals can enhance their treatment armamentarium and provide comprehensive care to patients with specific orofacial needs, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. The lecture will also touch on the evolving role of botulinum toxin and future directions in dental therapeutics. Participants will learn to: Describe the mechanism of action of botulinum toxin and its therapeutic applications in dentistry. Identify appropriate patient selection criteria and potential complications associated with botulinum toxin administration. Discuss the ethical and legal considerations for using botulinum toxin in dental practice. Jacinta Vu 4:30 PM - 5:00 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 12 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY ONE, 8 NOVEMBER 2025 HEALING SMILES: TRANSFORMATIVE DENTAL CARE Healing Smiles is a charity in Western Australia, providing an innovative approach to trauma-informed oral health care for women survivors of family and domestic violence (FDV). This presentation will provide an overview of the program, including its goals, target population, and key components, with a particular emphasis on the trauma-informed care model. We will discuss the importance of this model in providing comprehensive and sensitive care for these women. Additionally, preliminary data on the program’s outcomes and future directions for research and program development will be discussed. Participants will learn to: Describe the goals and target population of the Healing Smiles program and identify its key components, with an emphasis on trauma-informed care. Appreciate the importance of a trauma-informed care model for every patient, and be motivated to adopt a whole-person approach in their own practice. Jacinta Vu 5:00 PM - 5:30 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 13 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY TWO, 9 NOVEMBER 2025 PROGRESSIVE ENDODONTICS: PUSHING THE LIMITS WITH MTA IN OBTURATION Dentistry has seen many breakthroughs in the last 30 years. The introduction of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in the 1990s was pivotal in endodontics, from saving teeth deemed hopeless with perforations and resorption, to preserving pulp in deep caries and revitalizing necrotic immature teeth. Now, MTA can be used as a primary monoblock root canal filling owing to an improved formulation and is gaining attention. It has excellent anti-microbial properties, is biocompatible, and has exceptional sealing ability, all the good traits necessary for an effective root canal treatment. MTA is versatile and can cater to various clinical complexities and situations, prolonging the lifespan of a tooth and yielding good results. With MTA as root filling, it challenges boundaries, changing the landscape of endodontic practices. Participants will learn to: Discuss the changing philosophy and paradigm shift in endodontic obturation. Understand MTA, how it works and where it fails, and knowing its limitations that are necessary for its successful application in root canal treatment. Present cases that can be treated with MTA and discuss its learning issues. Josephine Tay 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM LET’S GO DIGITAL WITH REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS With the increase popularity of digital dentistry in today’s practice, find out how we can do digital dentures and how we can use it in tackling challenging removable prosthodontic treatments. Find out how to troubleshoot denture related problems and are we ready to go completely digital. Lastly, we will dive into the world of SEMCD, (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Dentures) and see how our patients can benefit from having dentures done this way. Kelvin Khng 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM TEA BREAK / VISIT EXHIBITION 10:30 AM THE RISING “EPIDEMIC” OF AUTISM AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR DENTISTS TODAY Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now diagnosed at the highest rates ever reported, and dental practitioners are increasingly encountering children and adults with complex behavioural and sensory needs in the operatory. Providing safe and effective care requires understanding both the oral health challenges common in this population and the strategies needed to overcome treatment barriers. This session will review the dental implications of autism, including risks of caries, periodontal disease, parafunctional habits, dietary restrictions, and oral hygiene difficulties. Communication limitations, sensory sensitivities, and behavioural dysregulation will be discussed as they affect treatment planning and delivery. Practical, evidence-based management approaches will be emphasized, including sensory-adapted dental treatment strategies, modified behavior guidance and desensitization techniques. Participants will learn to: Recognize common oral health risks and behavioural challenges in patients with ASD. Adapt communication and chairside techniques to meet sensory and behavioral needs. Apply evidence-based strategies to improve treatment success and patient cooperation. Terry Teo 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM LUNCH / VISIT EXHIBITION 12:00 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 14 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY TWO, 9 NOVEMBER 2025 NAVIGATING CHANGES IN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY The population of the older adults will be more than double with estimated 1.3 billion by 2050. In addition to the drastic increase in the population, the life expectancy of the older adults is longer with concomitant systemic conditions and pharmacological use. The use of newly developed medications has altered the patient management protocol in dental practice. Patients on novel medications like the oral anticoagulant are on an increasing trend and special precaution is required for dental surgery. Oral diseases may present as manifestations of systemic diseases and the result of interaction between the state of their oral and general health. Different oral pathologies, including medication-related osteonecrosis of jaw should be recognised early with appropriate intervention. Dental Treatment should be tailored for patients with specific medical conditions based on their local and systemic conditions, especially for geriatric patients who are now recognised as a specific group of patients with special needs. The rapid development in technology has revolutionized the practice of dentistry. Technological innovations are now part of the standard in medical care and their use has been integrated into different parts of dentistry. The combined advancement in antimicrobials and genomics, together with the application of artificial intelligence transformed the diagnoses and disease management to a whole different level. This presentation aims to provide an overview on the changes in the practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery and how clinicians can navigate in the challenges in daily practices. Law Yee Hung 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM TREATMENT PLANNING FOR FULL-ARCH IMPLANT RECONSTRUCTIONS USING DIGITAL TOOLS AVAILABLE TODAY Treatment planning for terminal dentitions is often challenging because of the inability for a pre-operative evaluation of the proposed aesthetic plane orientation, incisal edge position, and maxillomandibular relationship. Typically, such patients have remaining teeth that are in poor positions, and especially where anterior teeth are involved, we are unable to try-in the proposed and ideal tooth positions before these teeth are extracted. Patients with terminal dentition are themselves challenging to treat as well, because they are often anxious about losing their teeth and concerned about how the definitive prostheses will function and appear. A diagnostic set-up is key in such situations - both for patient visualisation and approval, and also for subsequent digital implant planning. Digital technology offers tools to assist in the diagnosis, treatment planning and rehabilitation of terminal dentition and edentulous patients, allowing for a facially driven smile design. Data acquisition involving a combination of photographs, facial scans, radiographs and intraoral digital scans may be employed to generate facially driven smile designs and simulation of future tooth position. Furthermore, communication between patients and clinicians and between clinicians can be improved, allowing for enhanced multidisciplinary collaboration. However, digital data acquisition has still to be coupled with the important clinical assessment of fundamental prosthodontic aspects including incisal edge position, vertical dimension of occlusion, and maxillomandibular relationship, so that the restorative dentist may lead the team in designing and executing the best plan based on the patient’s circumstances. Participants will learn to: Understand treatment considerations for full arch implant reconstructions. Apply different methods of incorporating data for a digital diagnostic set-up and how these assist in the creation of a “virtual patient”. Implement a digital workflow for patients requiring full arch implant reconstructions from diagnosis and treatment planning to surgical management and prosthetic rehabilitation. Valerie Tey 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM TEA BREAK / VISIT EXHIBITION 3:00 PM 8-9 November 2025 College Of Dental Surgeons Singapore Scientific Conference 15 CONFERENCE PROGRAMME DAY TWO, 9 NOVEMBER 2025 DENTAL EVALUATION PRIOR TO OSTEOPOROSIS: ARE WE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE OR ARE WE TOO CAREFUL? Despite measures, Osteoporosis is on the rise in many countries and a part of the care of these patients may include the use of anti-resorptive agents such as bisphosphonates and denosumab. These medications are effective, but a rare complication of these drugs would be the Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ). When the disease was first introduced, it may have led to much panic and fear of the condition. One of the precautions taken was the “dental evaluation or clearance” prior to commencement of anti-resorptive therapy. A meticulous dental clearance is good for preventing MRONJ, but has it inadvertently gone against what dentists should be advocating for – The preservation of teeth? Participants will learn to: Learn about MRONJ Learn about our dental clearance principles Learn about what we are doing to enhance oral health care for this group of patients Yong Chee Weng 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM BEYOND THE CROWN RETHINKING FOUNDATIONS IN PROSTHODONTIC SUCCESS The crown may mark the finish line, but the true race is won long before it’s seated. In partially dentate patients, long-term implant success hinges not only on prosthetic design but begins with a solid biological foundation— bone and soft tissue. Whether you’re dealing with a straightforward site or facing biologic complexity, such as a Type III socket, the guiding principle remains the same: rebuild what’s lost, then sculpt what you’ve rebuilt. This session introduces a streamlined, phase-based approach—Assessment Surgery Prosthetics—that adapts effortlessly across a wide spectrum of clinical scenarios. From site development to final restoration, we will also examine how provisional restorations play an active role in guiding soft tissue healing and establishing optimal emergence profiles. Discover how a complex Type III socket case—often requiring multiple surgeries and staged grafting—was managed in a simplified and predictable way using a dual-function biomaterial. Learn how strategic planning and the intelligent use of provisional prostheses can reduce surgical interventions while achieving aesthetic and stable outcomes. You’ll walk away with a practical, Monday-morning-ready clinical roadmap. Participants will learn to: Assess implant sites biologically to guide treatment planning. Apply a phased workflow to manage cases from simple to complex. Simplify complex cases using biomaterials and prosthetic design.
