The Truth About Tooth Wear

This two-day course will feature both lectures and hands-on skill development on an increasingly important dental topic.

It is my aim to create a positive and relaxed learning environment for every delegate. I have a deep interest in tooth wear, having carried out my research project on the subject at Guy's Hospital, London during my MClinDent (Prosthodontics). I aim to share my understanding of the latest evidence behind tooth wear, and how we can apply this on a practical level.

The course will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Kilmainham, Dublin 8. The venue is situated next to the historical Kilmainham Gaol and Museum, a short distance to Dublin city centre. The course will be supported by GC and NSK.

1. The evidence supporting the aetiology of tooth wear
2. Accurate diagnosis and classification of tooth wear
