CV
Aylin Baysan is Professor in Cariology in relation to Minimally Invasive Dentistry at Barts and the London Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London. Aylin is also General Dental Council, UK registered Specialist in Endodontics and Prosthodontics. She is also Adjunct Professor at BAU Dental School, Istanbul-Türkiye since March-2021, at the Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals in Chennai-India since Nov-2022 and Honorary Professor in Restorative Dental Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Hong-Kong from Jan-2024.
Aylin completed MSc in Gerodontology (funded), then funded to do a clinical PhD to study the management of root caries either using ozone or high fluoride at at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London and became one of the patent holders to use ozone on root caries.
Aylin was also the first researcher to conduct a clinical study using the toothpaste containing 5,000 ppm fluoride (Duraphat Toothpaste, Colgate) on root caries. Her research related to Duraphat toothpaste was recommended in the Department of Health Guidelines, UK.
Sustainable MI workflow for all ages: A practical guide for caries management
Dental caries is the most prevalent oral diseases with a global prevalence of 35%. A total of 2.4bn people have untreated dental caries in permanent teeth with a potential of more than 190m new cases every year (Marcenes et al. 2013). Contemporary dentistry is moving away from the mostly repetitive dentistry of the 20th century and toward a sustainable minimally invasive (MI) strategy that includes up-to-date detection and risk assessment before making a treatment decision. Detection, prevention, and control of dental caries using minimally invasive (MI) procedures are the fundamental principles for preserving hard and soft tissues in oral cavity.
Therefore, this talk will focus on a practical guide for risk assessments, early detection methods, prevention and treatment of dental caries by implementing the sustainable MID strategies.
The talk will support and provide a platform to discuss innovative and sustainable management systems i.e., alternative detection systems, air-abrasion, smart-burs and futuristic materials such as topical applications with new technologies-bioglass, hydroxyapatite formula, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer technology
Learning objectives
- Participants will have a sound knowledge for the early detection of dental caries using established caries risk assessment tools with sustainable detection systems. By the end of the talk, the participants will become familiar with MI detection workflow.
- Participants will have a clear understanding on the management of dental caries through innovative research and development of preventive and restorative futuristic materials using MI workflow.
- Participants will become familiar with the sustainable MI workflow for the management of dental caries in all ages.
Sustainable MI workflow for early detection of dental caries-A practical guide for dentists
The World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) reported that oral diseases affect approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide. It is estimated that 2 billion people present with dental caries in permanent teeth whilst 514 million children have carious lesions in primary teeth (WHO, 2022). Global Burden of Oral Conditions report revealed that untreated dental caries in permanent teeth was the most prevalent of all the 291 diseases and conditions investigated. Following this evidence, the cost of the provision of oral care was reported to be £79 billion and that over two thirds of this cost related to the treatment of dental caries and its sequelae. However, these costs could substantially be reduced if the population was educated in preventive practices and oral health care workers improved the early diagnosis of dental caries in their patients.
Therefore, the talk will focus on risk assessment, early detection methods, by implementing the sustainable MID detection strategies. The talk will support and provide a platform to discuss innovative and sustainable systems i.e., practical risk assessments tools, alternative detection systems, air abrasion.
Learning objectives
- Participants will have a sound knowledge for the early detection of dental caries using established practical caries risk assessment tools, chair-side saliva testing with sustainable detection systems.
- By the end of the talk, the participants will become familiar with MI detection workflow.
- Participants will become familiar with early diagnosis with the implementation of tele dentistry.
