There are numerous strong forces reshaping dentistry and the delivery of dental care. These forces are hurricane-like in power, growing in intensity, forcefully exerting their impact on reshaping dentistry. The eye of the hurricane is the profound shift in context, from small business to big business. The eye-wall of the hurricane consists of the tremendous influx of venture capital and consolidators. The rain-bands of the hurricane are horizontal integration, vertical integration, artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud computing, Big Data, and genomics. Other rain-bands of the hurricane are lack of access, connection to systemic diseases, ashift in reimbursement from the fee-for-service model to the pay-for-performance model, all driven by the seemingly uncontrollable increase in spending on healthcare combined with increasing populations.
This presentation will address how these forces impact dentistry and dental delivery. This hurricane has reached a Level 4 intensity, quickly moving to a Level 5. It has reached the shore, bringing heavy winds and rain. Expect tremendous damage to occur.

In the private practice as well as in the endodontic departments of the dental schools, pain and inconvenience immediately after an endodontic treatment is common. In almost all cases we are able to help our patients through this short annoying period. What happens if, after an apparently successful endodontic treatment without any inconvenience, several weeks later, the pain comes back, just as it was before the treatment? This lecture will give you as clinician the tools to retrieve the cause of the failing endodontic treatment and will help you to manage it.

The 4th additional axis of time is added to the traditional 3D axes which makes it different to identify the time of extraction and implant placement either immediate implant placement, early implant placement or delayed implant placement.
This review focus on each technique and the ideal choice of each technique in every case
Introduction: Immediate implant placement after extraction has become a favored treatment protocol with many clinicians worldwide. There are many advantages to this protocol, amongst them; shortened treatment time, placement of the implant in sound bone that constitutes the socket wall, placement trajectory guidance by the socket and preservation of bone volume. This literature review describes the 4th dimension in implant placement which is the timing of placement after extraction which is a very important factor in immediate placement success rate.
Learning objectives:
After the presentation the audience shall understand:
1. The 4th dimension in implant placement
2. The proper way achieve an perfect immediate implant
3. Decide whether to place or not to place the implant after extraction
4. Manage the jumping gap
5. The proper way to achieve the maximum esthetic outcome in immediate placement

Number of completely edentulous patients is increasing due to increased life expectancy, considerably high number of adult and elderly patients still need dental treatment for their edentulism.
Some of those patients cannot tolerate removable complete dental prosthesis and may require more sophisticated techniques
Almost all patients have information about implant supported dental prosthesis to some extent and they prefer to have this kind of dental treatment because of increased retention and stability of artificial teeth. Unfortunately because of financial restrictions a high number of edentulous patients have to postpone implant supported prosthesis option.
Osseo integration becomes an excellent treatment modality for completely edentulous patients. The better understanding of osseointegration has led to the one-stage surgeries and to minimize the period between the implant surgery and the prosthesis placement.
The maxilla requires more implants than the mandible for a fixed prosthesis although four implants are suggested for either dental arch.
In this presentation; the protocol for immediate loading and all on four treatment modality and long term outcome of immediately loaded all on four type dentures will be discussed.

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is known to arise from sustained, stepwise accumulations of mutations resulting in transition of normal mucosa to dysplasia to invasive carcinoma over time. OSCC is reportedly the tenth most common malignancy and across the world more than 300, 000 H&N cancer cases are reported each year and in India alone it is estimated to be more than 8000 new H&N cancer registered every year. Tremendous breakthroughs are achieved in understanding the biology of oral cancer, surgical techniques, precision radiotherapy and chemotherapy with newer drugs, hitherto the 5 year survival rate of patients has not reduced below 50% since past several decades and have not improved over several decades. Improving detection, diagnosis, and treatment of precancerous changes and early asymptomatic cancers is imperative to increase survival and improve functional outcomes for persons at risk to develop oral cancer. Therefore this presentation highlights the present and future noninvasive or minimally invasive techniques with great specificity and sensitivity in detecting early oral cancers and after treatment follows up to detect recurrences.

Background: Buccal fat pad (BFP) is a specialized vascular tissue adequately present in buccal space and is close to the maxillary posterior quadrant. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the utility of pedicled buccal fat pad (PBFP) in the treatment of class II and III gingival recession.
Methodology: Ten systemically healthy patients with age ranging from 35-55 years with class II and class III gingival recession in the maxillary molars were selected. Prior to the surgical phase, patients were enrolled in a strict maintenance program including oral hygiene instructions and scaling and root planing. A horizontal incision of 1-1.5cm was made in the buccal sulcus of the maxillary molar region; buccinator muscle was separated bluntly to expose the BFP. The fat was then teased out from its bed and spread to cover defects adequately. It was then secured and sutured without tension. Clinical parameters probing depth(PD), Recession width (RW), Recession length (RL), Keratinized width of gingiva (KGW) were recorded at baseline and at 6 months post-operatively and weekly assessment was done at 1week, 2weeks, 3weeks and after 4 weeks for observations during the postoperative healing.
Results: Treated recession defects healed successfully without any significant post operative complications. Percentage of root coverage average was 89.3%. There was statistically significant decrease in the width and depth of recession.
Conclusion: Pedicled buccal fat showed promising results as the treatment modality in the management of class II and class III gingival recession of maxillary posterior teeth.
