BSP & SRRDG Study Day

22.03.2025

The Library, Royal College of Surgeons of England, 38-43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PE

The BSP is collaborating with the SRRDG (Specialist Registrars in Restorative Dentistry Group) to provide a high quality study day in Central London at the Royal College of Surgeons, England. 

This day has a limited number of tickets and will involve interactive case discussions on cases with a primary focus on Periodontics, as well as Restorative/Implant Dentistry input. Following each case there will be a lecture covering the relevant theory.

The day will be led by three specialists across Restorative Dentistry and Periodontics and will provide valuable discussion points. The course will benefit trainees coming to the final stages of their specialist training who may be sitting exams soon, early career specialists/dentists with a special interest and early career trainees (DFTs, DCTs) looking to specialise, who would like exposure to complex treatment planning and theory.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day,together with a light buffet lunch.

You don’t need to know anyone to book on the course - just come along as the BSP and SRRDG are friendly and inclusive Societies!

Objectives

  1. To review the need for restorative treatment solutions for periodontal disease patients.

  2. To discuss the options to replace lost teeth in cases with periodontal disease.

  3. To consider aspects of fixed and removable prosthesis design.

  4. To appreciate the challenges of providing dental implants in treated periodontal disease patients.

Outcomes

  1. To understand the options and treatment planning considerations of tooth replacement in patients with a history of periodontal disease.

GDC Development Outcomes A & C.

Speakers

Objectives

  1. To revise the pathophysiology and classification of peri-implant diseases.

  2. To explore the impact the implant suprastructure might have on the peri-implant tissues.

  3. To appreciate the practical implications of deconstructing and modifying implant superstructures when managing implants/patients with peri-implant disease.

  4. To understand the negative side effects or outcomes of treatment and strategies to try and overcome this.

  5. Discuss the principles of treatment planning cases with peri-implant disease/ failing implants and complex superstructures.

Outcomes

By the end of this lecture delegates should:

  1. Understand the relationship of implant suprastructure design on peri-implant disease

  2. Have a broad understanding of the management options for dealing with complex peri-implantitis cases and the sequela of treatment.

GDC Development Outcomes: A,C & D

Speakers

Aims

The aim is to consider what factors influence the outcomes of aesthetic crown lengthening.

Objectives

  1. To consider the influence of the soft tissues and underlying anatomical structure on the gingival display

  2. To look at how those can be managed as part of the overall restorative plan

  3. To discuss how what factors should be considered and how they can influence the end result

Outcomes

  1. Ability to assess the underlying causes of excess gingival display

  2. Appreciate how they can, or can’t, be modified

  3. Understand the surgical techniques of crown lengthening

GDC Development Outcome C

Speakers

Aims

To look at the reasons for soft tissue grafting around teeth, and consider how different techniques might be applied within that context.

Objectives

  1. Briefly look at the aetiology of soft tissue and mucogingival defects

  2. Consider how aims of treatment will influence treatment choice

  3. Look at techniques and consider their strengths and weaknesses

Outcomes

  1. Ability to assess what factors might affect choice of procedure
