Overview/Learning Outcomes: Fully guided composites is an excellent, additive restorative technique for treating the worn dentition. We will explore complications, maintenance and follow ups over 6 years.
CPD Outcome: C
Overview/Learning Outcomes: As digital technologies become increasing ubiquitous, integration of scanners with preventative, periodontal, and restorative patient workflows are increasingly achievable. In this session with Dr Raj Juneja, learn from his experience maximising the value of the iTero intraoral scanner, from routine patient reviews and prevention, to restorative workflows including implants.
Be ready for a high energy, future-focused session at BDIA Dental Showcase
This highly anticipated conversation with Spencer Kelly will be supported by Hello Pearl, making the important connection between broader AI-driven technologies and those designed specifically for modern dentistry.
He will be discussing:

Overview/Learning Outcomes: Discover how Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy (MINST) is transforming periodontal care. This session demystifies the technique, showcasing practical tips, instrumentation pearls, and case outcomes that prove how precision, magnification, and tissue respect can elevate your non-surgical results and redefine what’s achievable in everyday periodontal practice.
A thought-provoking conversation exploring how design can transform dental environments – moving beyond clinical function to create spaces that calm, inspire trust, and reflect modern wellness values.
Kelly Hoppen will share her perspective on design as psychological care, drawing parallels between hospitality, wellness and healthcare. The session will uncover how lighting, materiality, acoustics and brand identity can influence both patient experience and team wellbeing, while maintaining clinical excellence.

The ability to bond restorations to teeth, rather than cutting them to achieve retention, has developed immeasurably in recent decades. As a result, there are adhesive solutions to many common restorative challenges. For example, in contemporary dental practice, we now use minimal cavity designs for what previously would have been a large, conventional class II cavity, we can treat tooth wear conservatively when we crowned worn teeth in the past (to protect them!!), in some situations we can repair fractured teeth with the lost tooth fragment and we can repair broken crowns with clever adhesive technology.
This presentation will therefore include a brief history of dentine bonding from the past to the present Universal Bonding Agents and will include examples of the use of such materials in adhesive solutions from the presenter’s own clinical practice. It will also attempt to dispel some dental myths, such as the need to always place a liner/base or remove every last speck of caries.
But, how can that grow a practice? By advising patients that we will not cut their teeth until it is absolutely necessary, and then use the minimal amount of tooth preparation by using modern adhesive technology. Patients will not know that this is our philosophy unless we tell them! And, once they understand, they will entrust their mouths to you for life.
The same applies to prevention, which when carried out successfully, is another form of minimal intervention. In this regard, this presentation is kindly supported by Oral B.
