Abstract:
The human body is comprised of complex systems, which are interconnected with each other. Because of the way, the human body is made one organ of the body can have an impact on other organs of it. Oral health plays a major role in human’s growth, life style, speech, taste, food habits and socializes for wellbeing mankind. Any damages in oral health will lead to physical and psychological effects. The oral hygiene measures related to professional level, level of education, and periodontal maintenance. Some studies report that oral health has an impact on food choice and on the intake of key nutrients, causing various nutritional problems. Recent researches on oral and general health have shown a link between the two. With more than 90% of systemic diseases having oral symptoms. These symptoms can include swollen gums, sores, ulcers, dry mouth and more. The following diseases are an example of a systemic disease which has symptoms expressed in the mouth like diabetes, leukaemia, oral cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Recent studies have shown that poor dental hygiene and gum disease can directly increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis and even stroke. Women with poor dental health have also shown higher rates of preterm and low birth-weight children. To prevent these health issues, practicing good oral hygiene is very important. People at an early age should get into good practices. Regular dental visits, brushing regularly, flossing and watching what they eat are all important steps in preventing dental diseases and keeping you in good health.

Title: Restoring functional breathing in dental patients
Biography:
Sara Jawadi is an oral health therapist from Auckland, New Zealand. Graduated in 2008 with a BHSc in Oral Health from Auckland University of Technology and qualified in dental hygiene and therapy scopes, I worked in Auckland school dental services, and then moved to work in the private sector with a focus on prevention and minimally invasive health care. Through observations of patient’s healthcare and personal health struggles, I started learning about dysfunctional breathing and eventually train as a Buteyko practitioner to help patients improve their breathing habits and therefore improve health issues related to that.
Abstract:
Dysfunctional breathing may complicate inflammatory conditions and impair quality of life. One of the easiest ways to identify a patient with dysfunctional breathing is to note whether they are a mouth breather however, this is only one aspect of many that we can explore and earn more about. As health professionals it will help us to understand the acuteness of inflammation in certain clients and its relation to their breathing habits therefore, learning how to help them overcome that. Due to the fact that as dental practitioners we are able to see our patients a lot more frequently that other health professionals it would be ideal if we equipped ourselves with assessment tools, and solutions to dysfunctional breathing. Moreover, there are several methods that health professionals use for correcting breathing habits though this review will focus on Buteyko breathing techniques. The Buteyko method is named after its founder Doctor Konstantin Buteyko. It is the most effective drug-free approach for the management of asthma and other breathing related problems. This presentation will help you to understand the extent of effect of dysfunctional breathing, how to assess patients, and what practical advice you can provide for your clients.
Biography:
Dr. Poorva Khullar is an established Endodontist who completed her masters in Endodontics from Jaipur, India. She then worked with Clove Dental, Delhi for 3 years. She has also worked as a Junior Resident in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi for one year. She has done a couple of interesting cases and was always inclined towards research related to Endodontics. She also undertook a few studies apart from her thesis work while doing her masters, all of which are now published in recognized journals. With her established interest in academics and research related subjects, she is always looking for avenues to expand in this horizon.
Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine the existence of biological debris on reusable endodontic instruments subjected to different cleaning methods prior to sterilization. Sixty endodontic hand instruments (K-files #15-40 used in 3-4 teeth for cleaning and shaping) were analysed and were divided into 3 groups on the basis of decontamination protocols used. Twenty new K-files were used as controls. The effectiveness of the cleaning methods was evaluated based on the amount of residual debris detected by immersion of instruments in Van Gieson’s solution for 3 minutes. The samples were then rinsed in distilled water and dried on endodontic stand and analysed by light microscopy. Residual biological debris was observed on 93% of all the samples taken. The mean value of Maximum Biologic Contamination (MBC) was 20% for the group where instruments were brushed manually and immersed in alcohol, 15% in the group in which commercially available disinfectant were used and 11% for the group where instruments were ultrasonically cleaned. There was statistically significant difference between the cleaning protocols applied (P< 0.001). The methods used to clean endodontic instruments appear to be ineffective in the removal of biological debris. The best method was the one that included mechanical, chemical and ultrasonic cleaning of the instruments.

Title: Prevention is better than cure: A key to halt peri-implantitis
Biography:
Dr Syed Yasir Qadiri .I am working as Assistant professor in College of dentistry, Najran university, KSA .I had done my Master in Restorative dentistry from university of Manchester, UK .I have also done MFDS from Royal college of Surgeon , England .I have lot of publication in both national and International journals. I am good sports person and love playing cricket n football.
Abstract:
The success of dental implant is highly dependent on the integration between the implant and intra-oral hard/soft tissue. Most common factor responsible for bone loss after implant placement is peri-implantitis caused by extrusion of excess cement at implant-abutment interface. Construction of vents in restoration to reduce cement flow below the margin can avoid such complication. Thus, aim of this poster is to discuss the effect of vent holes in implant crowns to decrease the extrusion of excess cement at crown-abutment interface, & reducing the chances of peri-implantitis and early implant failure.

Title: Phoenix dentistry-recent aids in remineralisation
Biography:
Navjot Singh is doing internship in Sri Guru Ram Dass Institute of Dental Sciences and Research. He has attended many States, national and one international conference and presented paper and poster.
Abstract:
Tooth remineralisation is a natural process occurring in the oral cavity. It is defined as a process in which calcium and phosphate ions are sourced to promote ion deposition into crystal voids in demineralized enamel. Remineralisation remains an imperative approach towards the management of non-cavitated carious lesions and prevention of disease progression within the oral cavity. The process also has the ability to contribute towards restoring strength and function within tooth structure. Tooth demineralization is a chemical process which removes minerals (mainly calcium) from any of the hard tissues: enamel, dentine and cementum. The process of demineralization begins at the crystal surface found inside the hard tooth tissue and my progress into cavitation unless arrested or overridden by remineralisation. The effect to demineralization can be reversed If there is sufficient time to allow remineralisation to occur to counteract the acids in the oral cavity. The scientific presentation highlights the potential of reminerlisation aids in dentistry in prevention and early management to early caries. With recent development in the area of minimal intervention the scope of remineralisation seems abundant.

Title: Balancing pH levels in the mouth to help manage dental disease
Biography:
Sara Jawadi is an oral health therapist from Auckland, New Zealand. Graduated in 2008 with a BHSc in Oral Health from Auckland University of Technology and qualified in dental hygiene and therapy scopes, I worked in Auckland school dental services, then moved to work in the private sector with a focus on prevention and minimally invasive health care.

Abstract:
Dental disease is the result of a destructive imbalance in the oral cavity causing pain and loss of function. It is primarily influenced by acidity levels in the mouth. Research has stated that pH of mouth and blood must be balanced, with good circulation down to the cellular level which helps cellular waste products be released from the body. Modern science is proving to us that the bacterial theory of disease is not accurate and that a healthy mouth is a result of healthy well-nourished cells throughout the body. Therefore, if there is a state of acidosis in the body it will affect the mouth and increase risk of both dental decay and gum disease. The following has been stated by research that confirms, tooth decay occurs with both high and low salivary calcium. The reason for that is that active tooth decay can be caused by the body excreting phosphorus or calcium or both into saliva. Thus, tooth decay is almost always associated with an acidic salivary pH. Whereas it has also been shown that active gum disease happens when there is excess calcium in the saliva. This occurs primarily due to calcium being chelated from the periodontium into the saliva in order for it to be utilized by other parts of the body.With severe gum disease, the salivary pH is acidic; this generally indicates deeper imbalances in the body. Although in the past dentistry focused on intervention and treatment post disease, we now see a shift towards a more holistic, preventative approach. As dental health professionals, we have now an obligation to keep up to date with the most current research and findings and be confident in delivering advice that is practical and covers nutrition and lifestyle changes to improve their oral and over all well-being. Hence, this talk will focus on how we can address the issue of acidity, what contributes to it in terms of diet and lifestyle and how it affects oral health in particular. In addition, this presentation will also cover how we can educate and empower our patients with tips, products, and tools to manage acidity and prevent onset of disease, therefore having better quality of life with healthy functioning mouths and bodies.

Abstract:
The smile and dental esthetics complex represents a complex interaction between skeletal structures, alveolar and the overlying soft tissue covering. Appearance of an individual’s smile is net interaction of these components. The periodontal soft and hard tissues are an important determinant of restorative smile esthetics. The crucial point to esthetic smile design is the Management of the periodontal tissues that "frame" each tooth. A technique that makes it possible to sculpt the position of the labial gingival margin to provide additional crown height or length is smile sculpting. This periodontal smile sculpting aids in determining the pre-restorative treatment profile of teeth and create a blueprint for the restorative dentist to enhance a patient's final esthetic treatment results. The crucial point lies in understanding the process is an appreciation of the periodontal principles that govern smile design, mainly the periodontal biologic width and the influence of the underlying hard tissue bony architecture in defining the periodontal envelope from where the teeth emerge.
