Welcome & Opening

08:00 – 09:50

  • Dr Mohammed Alhasani

    Mastering Direct Composite Veneers on Anterior Teeth

  • Lecture Summary

    • Focuses on techniques for natural translucency, morphology of the teeth
    • Layering strategies to create natural appearance 
    • Conservative tooth preparation 
    • Adhesion principles
    • Polishing for long-term durability
09:50 – 10:35

Refreshments and Exhibition

10:35 – 11:30

  • Dr Rhoodie Garrana

    Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started My Implant Career

  • Lecture Summary

    In this candid, fast-paced, and slightly irreverent session, Dr Garrana takes dentists through the triumphs, pitfalls, and unexpected realities of life in implantology. From the elation of perfect torque values to the despair of stripped screws and soft-tissue surprises, the lecture explores both the successes and adversities every implant surgeon faces in daily practice. With a mix of satire, clinical honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, attendees will gain practical tips and survival strategies for navigating the ever-evolving world of dental implantology in 2025. Expect a blend of humour, case-based insight, and pragmatic pearls—because sometimes the best lessons in titanium come from the scars, not the textbooks. Dr. Garrana looks forward to sharing his journey, mistakes, and mastery with colleagues who still believe dentistry can be both serious and seriously funny.

14:45 – 15:45

  • Peet van der Vyver

    Part 1 – Complications of Failing to Perform Root Canal Treatment on Traumatized Anterior Teeth

  • Lecture Summary

    The dental pulp may be affected by traumatic dental injuries. Some injuries require the immediate initiation of root canal treatment (RCT) during emergency management, while others do not necessitate urgent RCT.

    Certain injuries require RCT to prevent internal and external inflammatory root resorption, pulp necrosis, and the development of periapical granulomas or cysts, thereby ensuring a favourable long-term outcome.

    For other injuries, the pulp should be monitored regularly, and root canal treatment should only be performed when there are clear signs of pulp necrosis and infection within the root canal system.

    This presentation will discuss the different types of injuries that require immediate commencement of root canal treatment and illustrate the complications that may arise from failure, supported by clinical case reports.
