This year's British Society of Paediatric Dentistry conference will focus on the fusion of the two contrasting concepts art and science. The event, to be held in Leeds from 12-15 September, will feature a host of nationally and internationally renowned speakers coming together to give an insight into the diversity of management regimes available for conditions of interest to anyone providing oral health care for children.

Keynote presentations will cover topics including amelogenesis imperfecta and epidermolysis bullosa, with other sessions covering erosion, care of the periodontal ligament and advances in pulp biology. As usual there will also be a programme of social events and the opportunity to compete for one of three prestigious prizes – the Young Researcher's Prize, the Poster Prize and the Clinical Case Presentation Prize.
