One of the biggest draws of the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show (BDCDS) has always been its exceptional educational programme. This year, dentists were able to enjoy a varied and highly pertinent selection of clinical, CPD sessions, all of which had been chosen to ensure that they could keep at the very cutting-edge of the profession.

Rajan Nansi, President of the British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (BSP), headed an important review for practitioners titled 'A Periodontal Update for General Practice'. This session took a detailed look at periodontitis, including tips about correct classification, staging and grading, probing techniques, guidance for influencing patient behaviour and more.

The first day also saw a lecture by Amit Patel titled 'Unravelling the New Periodontal Classification'. Examining the tools and techniques needed for proper classification of periodontitis, Amit also explained how to easily classify periodontitis cases based on severity of bone loss and age of the patient.

One of the biggest benefits for clinicians attending the show is the opportunity to explore new ideas that they can implement in practice.

Another popular session was 'FIPO - Functional Indirect Posterior Onlays'. The session mixed humorous videos with practical tips and guidance on how to best create long-lasting and aesthetic onlays while respecting the unique anatomical structure of the tooth.

These seminars are just a snapshot of what was available at the show. Plus, with hundreds of trade exhibitors, many chances to network and connect with colleagues, it's little surprise that so many dental professionals were thrilled to be back at the BDCDS.
