The Faculty of Dentistry RCSI is delighted to announce that its Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) 2014 will be held in Dublin on October 30th and 31st 2014. The title of this year’s ASM is “Controversies in Dentistry”, and will include lectures on caries management (including “seal or save”?), orthodontics (including “six month smiles”), the role of fluoride, drug therapeutics and the dental practitioner, adhesion, radiology, endodontics and oral surgery. Confirmed overseas speakers include Amr Morsi (New York), StJohn Crean (Preston), Avi Bernerjee (London), Mark Hector (Dundee), Chris Deery (Sheffield) and Ross Hobson (Newcastle). We also have many accomplished national speakers including Hal Duncan (endodontics), Garry Fleming (adhesion) and Brian Bourke (orthodontics). On the Friday afternoon we will have a special Leo Sheridan Lecture session, titled “Current controversies in the surgical management of head and neck cancer” to be delivered by Brian Schmidt (New York) and David Vaughan (Aintree, Liverpool).

The meeting will be of interest to dental practitioners (both general and specialist) in Ireland and overseas. We would also like to encourage all of our graduates (e.g. Members, Fellows) and our many friends who have attended our ASMs over the years to attend during this year’s meeting. Those who wish to register interest for this meeting, and would like to be kept updated on the event should email the Faculty office at: facdentistry@rcsi.ie. Please note that the Friday afternoon (Head & Neck cancer session) will require separate registration. If you wish to attend this session, as well as the rest of the meeting, please let us know.
