This respect organisation is teaming up with the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry, to draw together world renowned opinion leaders with a special interest in the oral health of children and bring them to the UK. Philips is supporting the Keynote Scientific Lecture on 5 June which is being given by Dr Dorte Haubek from Aarhus in Denmark who will be presenting ‘Aggressive periodontitis in children and adolescents: the old, the new and the future’. A visit to stand 15 at the Harrogate International Centre will enable Congress delegates to find out more about Sonicare For Kids which is aimed at children aged 4 to 10 years of age. The new brush is based on the core Sonicare technology which has already made it the most often recommended power toothbrush brand by dental professionals but incorporates a number of innovative new elements. Clinical studies have shown Sonicare for Kids removes more plaque than a children’s manual toothbrush - up to 75% more in hard-to-reach areas - and provides significantly better brushing performance than a children’s battery toothbrush in children aged 7-10. Whilst studies conducted by experts in child ergonomics with kids and parents have ensured that the way the brush is used, held and interacted with, is as effective and enticing as possible for a child to use so aiding compliance. During the EAPD conference Philips will be offering paediatric dentists the opportunity to trial and evaluate the Sonicare for Kids. For those unable to visit the Congress more information can also be obtained by visiting www.sonicare. co.uk/dp or calling 0800 0567 222.

BDA / DENTSPLY Student Clinician Programme:“A fantastic opportunity.” Lisa Durning describes her involvement in this year’s Awards: “I found out just before Christmas that I had been selected to represent Manchester Dental School, which was a great honour. To be one of the fifteen finalists also felt like a significant achievement. I had been working on an investigation into how cancer spreads, and the role of a particular molecule in the loss of cell adhesion, seen in the metastasis process. The Student Clinician Programme was a great opportunity to share with a wider audience a topic that I have found fascinating since being introduced to it during my third year studies. The BDA / DENTSPLY Student Clinician Awards in Edinburgh was a fantastic event. I got to meet the finalists from the other dental schools and see the research they had presented. Being announced the winner came as a great shock as I hadn’t expected to win. I am absolutely thrilled to win and I’m looking forward to October when I fly to Orlando to take part in the International Student Clinician Conference.” I definitely recommend taking part in clinical research and the Student Clinician Programme. It’s raised my awareness of the opportunities I have within dentistry.” For more information about the BDA / DENTSPLY Student Clinician Programme, contact DENTSPLY on 0800 072 3313 or visit www.dentsply.co.uk UCL Eastman CPD launches challenging new programme “Developing Leadership and Clinical Excellence within the NHS” The UCL Eastman Dental Institute, with the support of the Chief Dental Officer and the Department of Health, is excited to announce the Autumn 2010 launch of a unique new programme bringing together leadership and clinical excellence within the NHS.
