BSPD Lecture: prosthodontics for children (LEED17JUN14)

We are delighted to invite you to this BSPD lecture given by a visiting Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry from Sydney, Australia. Angus Cameron is Head of Department and Clinical Associate Professor of Paediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics at Westmead Hospital, Sydney.

His lecture will discuss the often complex prosthodontic rehabilitation children may require following trauma or the presence of a range of dental anomalies. Many of the conditions that will be shown are unique and uncommon, and management is often anecdotal. However, an understanding of growth and development is important in allowing the formulation of a treatment plan that is appropriate for a child at any age.

Mandatory: Dental Nurse, or Dental Technician, or Dentist
