SINGAPORE: The Dental Aesthetics Meeting in Asia (DAMA) has released its conference programme, with keynote speakers Dr Frank Milnar, Dr Stefen Koubi and Hilal Kuday headlining the event. This first edition of DAMA is to be held on 28 and 29 September in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.
Organised by the Aesthetic Dentistry Society Singapore (ADSS), DAMA 2018 is themed “Learning | Collaboration | Inspiration” and will inform dental professionals on the latest in dental science and practice to assist them in achieving aesthetic outcomes for their patients. To encourage dentists in the Asia Pacific region to update their skills and knowledge of aesthetic dentistry, the event will also host the biennial meeting of the Asian Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (AAAD), where its next president, Dr Kim Myung Jin from South Korea, will be inaugurated.
“Today’s patients are increasingly demanding regarding aesthetic outcomes for their dental treatment. DAMA intends to assist dental practitioners in meeting this demand by inspiring attendees with the latest developments in aesthetic dentistry,” explained Dr Jeffrey Seow, chairperson of the organising committee.
The main scientific programme will feature lectures on various topics. Highlighted papers include “Teamwork in everyday practice: Cosmetic/worn dentition/implant; a guided and predictable approach between the dental clinician and the dental technician” by Koubi and Kuday, “The power of pink: Techniques for pink composite restorations with bioactive giomer composites” by Milnar and “Simplified restorative procedures in the daily practice” by Dr Giulio Pavolucci.
In addition, the conference will include the Asian Showcase of the AAAD, during which speakers from Asia will highlight the interactions between various dental specialties and aesthetic dentistry. “With the development of materials, digital technologies and imaging hardware and software, it is now easier to incorporate aesthetic treatment into every dental professional’s daily workflow,” explained Dr Ronnie Yap, President of the AAAD.
Seven hands-on workshops on the pre- and post-congress days have been planned for dentists who wish to supplement the theoretical knowledge that will be shared at DAMA 2018. These workshops have limited spaces available to ensure an optimal presenter–attendee ratio.
ADSS has also curated an exhibition of leading dental companies in aesthetic dentistry to enrich the educational opportunities at the conference by having the latest products and services on display.
DAMA 2018 attendees will be able to meet exhibitors at the Exhibition Networking Reception, to be held on 28 September, to help them expand their professional network. Guests at the reception will have time to talk over light refreshments in the exhibition hall.
Online registration for DAMA 2018 is now open at www.dama.sg.
