The dark and narrow space in the oral cavity can cause oral health professionals (OHPs) to adopt an unnatural posture during dental treatment, which can lead to serious physical impact and repetitive strain injuries. Ergonomics in dentistry should strike a balance between keeping the dentist healthy and providing efficient treatment.

In May 2021, the 74th session of the World Health Assembly adopted a landmark resolution on Oral health, witnessing the return of oral health to the global health agenda. The resolution recognizes the immense global burden of oral diseases and their associations with other noncommunicable disease (NCDs), urging Member States to put a greater focus on prevention interventions that tackle shared risk factors, include essential oral healthcare within universal health coverage (UHC) benefit packages, and support oral health research and professionals to deliver quality prevention and care.

Antibiotics are life-saving drugs. An infection that does not respond to antibiotics is known as an antibiotic-resistant infection. This is a global problem which poses a significant threat to health due to prolonged illnesses, longer hospital stays and increased mortality. Dentists and dental teams have an essential role in tackling antibiotic resistance.

More than 18 months after the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, dental practice has been changed in important and multiple ways. Practice recommendations continue to evolve with our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and the roll-out of vaccines. This webinar will look at how dental practice has changed since late 2019 and ask: what does the future hold?

All health professionals have a prominent role to play in tobacco control. They have the trust of the population, the media and opinion leaders, and their voices are heard across a vast range of social, economic and political arenas It is now accepted that helping tobacco users to quit is part of the role of health professionals, including dentists and other oral health professionals. This presentation will summarize what is currently known about the concepts and theories associated with Tobacco Cessation and illustrate practical implementation of Tobacco Cessation measures in dentals settings.

Reconstructive/regenerative procedures in periodontology aim at rebuilding the periodontal supporting tissues which have been lost following periodontal disease or trauma. Substantial evidence indicates that in carefully selected patients and defects, combined with a strict pre -and postoperative infection control, reconstructive/regenerative periodontal surgery may lead to substantial clinical benefits evidenced by probing depth reduction, clinical attachment level gain, defect fill, thus improving long-term tooth prognosis and survival. Emerging evidence also suggests that the use of certain types of lasers and/or antibacterial photodynamic therapy (a-PDT) may result in reduction of inflammation and improved clinical stability, thus representing potential modalities for maintaining periodontal and peri-implant tissue stability.
