SYNOPSIS: The progressive shift towards minimally invasive dentistry is obvious. The goal is to preserve the tooth structure and extend pulpal vitality. Partial coverage restorations are more conservative due to their defect-specific preparation. The results of clinical studies evaluating long-term survival of complete and partial coverage ceramic restorations will be presented. It will then discuss whether partial coverage restorations have a reduced incidence of post-prosthetic endodontic therapy or not. The factors that contribute to the successful outcome of ceramic restorations will be discussed in detail. And finally, an attempt to provide an evidence-based answer to the question of what is “minimally invasive dentistry?” will be made.

Empowering Patients and Students in Periodontics: The 20-80 Rule and Effective Patient Education. Training Future Practitioners to Educate and Engage Patients for Optimal Oral Health

Date: 25 September 2024 (WEB198)

Time: 19:00 - 20:30

Speaker: Dr Michaela Beetge

This webinar emphasizes the concept of the 20-80 rule in periodontics, highlighting the shared responsibility between clinicians and patients and underscoring the importance of training students in patient education. It aims to equip future practitioners with the skills to educate patients, even in challenging environments. The 20-80 rule in periodontics, also known as the "Pareto Principle," is an informal guideline suggesting that 20% of the effort comes from the clinician, while the remaining 80% of results depend significantly on the patient's involvement and effort to achieve optimal outcomes. In practical terms, this means that while periodontal treatment and maintenance provided by dental professionals are crucial, the patient's role in maintaining oral hygiene and following recommended care at home is equally, if not more, important for long-term success. Proper brushing, flossing, and adherence to periodontal maintenance schedules are vital for preventing disease recurrence and maintaining oral health. The principle emphasizes the shared responsibility between the clinician and the patient in achieving optimal periodontal health.

Radiology CME

Learning Objectives Review of general current interventional techniques, therapies, and imaging techniques geared toward the general radiologist or radiologists who perform limited general IR procedures who also utilize cross sectional imaging to image patients following general interventional techniques. In the full day session, Didactic lectures will enable attendees to gain familiarity with a wide variety of interventional techniques such as embolization procedures in treating active bleeding in acute trauma, ultrasound guided intervention, gynecologic intervention, embolization of tumours, MSK intervention, aortic stent graft placement techniques. Review and optimize protocols, processing technique parameters, present diagnostic pearls and pitfalls for assessing neurological anatomy, function as they pertain to common cerebrovascular, spinal, sinonasal and tumour disease processes. Review and assess protocols, techniques and how to optimize protocol parameters with MR, MDCT, Ultrasound as it pertains to the musculoskeletal system and apply these principles to disease processes such as musculoskeletal tumours, infections, arthritis, internal joint derangement and sport related injuries. Review and apply current indications, protocols, imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, MDCT, Ultrasound, and present diagnostic pearls and pitfalls assisting in the evaluation of common pediatric diseases and processes.

Strategies will also be introduced to reduce radiation dose for cardiac assessment without compromising image quality. Review and apply current indications, protocols, imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging, MDCT, Ultrasound, and present diagnostic pearls and pitfalls assisting in the evaluation of common abdominal disease processes. Review and assess current literature and how to optimize MDCT protocols and other imaging modalities to correctly manage emergency and trauma patients to ensure that the appropriate studies are performed in the correct order to minimize morbidity and mortality in the acute setting. Review imaging findings in emergency/ trauma conditions including patterns of cervical spinal injury, blunt vascular neck injury, pancreatic/ duodenal trauma, acute chest pain, blunt abdominal trauma.

We welcome you all to the CME program on "Onco-Rehabilitation” organized by the Department of Physiotherapy, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai on the 20 and 21st January 2025.

For over half a century, Tata Memorial Centre has been in the forefront in its fight against cancer. It remains a unique institution, where patients afflicted by this disease get a multidisciplinary care and comfort under one roof.

The Physiotherapy Department with its dedicated and qualified staff continues in its efforts to educate, instruct and restore cancer patients to the highest level of functioning.

Treatment of cancer causes a lot of distress, disability and disruption which affects the quality of life. Although rehabilitation in oncology is an established discipline in the developed world, in India it is an emerging field. We believe this CME program will highlight and refresh your understanding of cancer rehabilitation and will serve as a platform to generate constructive ideas to help cancer patients and their caregivers through their illness.

We look forward to your extensive participation. This CME program is open to oncologists, therapists, intern and allied health care professionals.
