>> The VII International Dental Week will conclude with the Spring Conference of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology and Oral Public Health (SESPO), which will focus its sessions on oral health, oral microbiota and the influence of different types of diet.
>> European and American universities will showcase new advances in digital transformation in the sector, such as oral and perilabial ultrasound, as well as the application of AI, at the ADEMA University Research Center for Medical Sciences.
The University School ADEMA has inaugurated this afternoon the VII International Dental Week, Teaching Week and Research in the Dentistry sector, an annual reference event that brings together researchers, teachers and professionals of prestigious international and national universities, from Norway, Belgium, England, Portugal, France, Holland, Poland, Mexico,, Cabo Verde, Barcelona, Madrid and Las Palmas. Discuss the latest scientific and technological advances applied to clinical practice from an ethical and deontological perspective.
The use of artificial intelligence together with the technological advances that have recently been incorporated in dental practice will be addressed in this edition that is celebrated in the new Campus Coll, which houses the University Research Center of Medical Sciences.
Researchers and expert teachers will address these innovative techniques together with artificial intelligence (AI), which will provide an updated and future vision of the sophistication that dentistry has suffered, an advance that, in the words of the head of studies of the degree in dentistry, Dr. Pere Riutord, “it has been very positive but that should not forget or neglect the ethical and deontological vision patient”.
Oral ultrasound, together with the computerized tomography of conical beam (CBCT), haptic simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) applied to dentistry, will provide great advance for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of oral pathologies and techniques, exposing the experts in these techniques. applied to more efficient dental treatments.
>> The University School, a pioneer in the application of new technologies applied to dentistry, defends the need for an ethical commitment to patients in clinical practice, both students and teachers.
The University School has been a pioneer in the use and research of the haptic and holographic simulation applied to dentistry, addressing in this edition its strengths and weaknesses, as well as contrasting the analog simulation with the haptic simulation, allowing the development of virtual practices of real cases of patients and being able to perform repetitive preclinical treatments.
Computerized conical beam tomography (CBCT) together with artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed developing very promising lines of research to move forward in the field of dentistry, present in large part of presentations that will be presented during the VII International Dental Week.
According to Dr. Pere Riutord, “New advances in oral and perilabial ultrasound will also be presented to determine the structural makeup of these tissues and identify each patient’s typology, thereby establishing a prognosis for highly sought-after and debated treatments in the field of cosmetic dentistry, such as lip augmentation. The use of non-absorbable substances such as oils or silicones requires a prior feasibility analysis, which is why ADEMA advocates for more scientific research and specialized training to address these types of interventions with full clinical and ethical guarantees.”
“We are facing a situation that requires serious research to provide us with the scientific evidence necessary to respond to this high demand for aesthetic treatments, which are mostly performed in dental clinics by professionals who, in many cases, have not had the opportunity to train properly due to a lack of comprehensive knowledge of these techniques. This leads them to perform them without a true understanding of the patient’s lip type or the problems that can arise,” explained Dr. Riutord.
Specialized training
During this training week, there will also be roundtable discussions on job opportunities abroad, offering tips for improving employability in a constantly evolving sector, as well as practical workshops led by top-level professionals.
Among these are the Curaprox individualized prophylaxis workshop, the FKG Race-EVO rotary instrumentation workshop, and an introductory session on diode laser phototherapy, among others.
The VII International Dental Week will conclude with the Spring Conference of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology and Oral Public Health (SESPO), an update and research meeting that will relate oral health, oral microbiota and the influence of different types of diet on general health, promoting a comprehensive approach to patient care.
This edition is sponsored by the Regional Ministry of Education and Universities, Straumann, Virteasy Dental, and in collaboration with Colgate, Klockner, Curaden, BTI, Oral B, Sanhigía, FKG, and Curaprox.
