Red Flags in Dental Rehab Cases
Synopsis: Oral rehabilitations are complex procedures that demand extensive preplanning, careful analysis of aetiologic factors, and a deep understanding of the boundaries in which you will perform the rehab. It's 2023, and our dental profession still lacks complete certainty regarding the exact relationship between dental occlusion, vertical dimension alterations and TMDs. Nonetheless, our current knowledge allows us to treat patients and modify occlusions in a manner that ensures both comfort and long term stability. We also have a better understanding of when it is appropriate to initiate treatment or when it is advisable to postpone irreversible interventions. During this lecture, we will explore several Red Flags to watch out for when initiating treatments that involve reorganising occlusions, including the “social six”. By understanding the fundamental principles (or "rules of the game" so to speak), you will find great satisfaction in handling such cases.
Learning Outcomes: - Learn to develop the correct mind-set for reorganisational treatments.
- Review the 4 Pillars of a stable occlusion: Joints, Muscles, Teeth, and the Airway.
- Understand the importance of Centric Relation (CR) and adapted CR.
- Review common Red Flags to look out for when embarking on a rehab case.
Learn a basic TMD screening protocol and the "joint load" test

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Venue - Tākina Convention Centre Wellington
Synopsis: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a serious condition that can have profound implications for an individual's health and overall quality of life. The consequences of untreated OSA extend beyond daytime sleepiness, affecting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, metabolic balance, and even psychological well-being. Unfortunately, due to varying symptom severity and a lack of awareness, OSA often remains undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Therefore, raising awareness, promoting screening and timely diagnosis, and providing appropriate interventions are crucial in addressing this significant health problem.
In this lecture, we will review the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, screening tools, and management recommendations for OSA in both adults and children. Oral health professionals are in a prime position to make a major impact on OSA detection as they regularly interact with patients who may exhibit its signs and symptoms.
