She has broad experience with the dental follow-up of patients with inherited bleeding disorders and is a member of the Leuven Hemophilia Treatment Center.
Proposed title: Oral health implications of patients with congenitally acquired bleeding disorders and/or anticoagulant medications
Suggested title: Congenital, acquired and/or therapeutically induced hemostatic disorders: implications for oral health and dental treatment delivery
Hemostatic disturbances impact on oral health and dental treatment delivery, both in patients with congenital or acquired disorders and in situations where the defect is medication induced.
The hemostatic disorders can be accompanied by oral symptoms, such as an increased bleeding tendency of the gums. It is important for the pediatric dentist to recognize these signs and symptoms. These patients will need individualized advise for optimal daily oral care and when professional dental care is needed, precautions will be necessary when invasive procedures are undertaken.
This lecture will provide an overview of most relevant hemostatic disturbances occuring in children, including recommendations for the clinical follow-up of these patients.
What is new?
This lecture provides the pediatric dentist a concise overview of most relevant points of attention regarding hemostatic disorders.
What are the learning objectives?
Pediatric dentists will be able to differentiate between different hemostatic disturbances frequently occuring in children with respect to oral symptoms, implications for daily oral health care and precautions needed when undertaking invasive dental treatment.

David has spent more than 30 years in private practice and academia and is currently the Elsdon Storey Chair of Child Dental Health and a visiting consultant at RCH. He is involved in several collaborative and postgraduate research projects in both paediatric dentistry and orthodontics. Graduated BDSc (Melb) in 1984 and worked in general practice until 1991 when he undertook an MDSc in Paediatric Dentistry. He was dental advisor to the Australian Federal Government from 1994 – 1996 and won the KG Sutherland Prize of the RACDS in 2007. He is on the editorial boards of the European Archives on Paediatric Dentistry and the International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, and the advisory panel (board) of the European Caries Research Association (ORCA).
Over the past 15 years David has spoken throughout Australia, Asia and Europe and has wide ranging experience in laboratory and clinical trials of CPP-ACP, Minimum Intervention Dentistry, the definition, detection, and treatment of carious lesions, developmental defects of enamel and the use of calcium silicates in endodontics. He has published more than 100 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and has been cited more than 3000 times since 2014.
Summary
Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are a prevalent condition affecting both the primary and permanent dentitions – and one of the most prevalent is MIH. A mean prevalence of around 15% has been reported for MIH, with around one third of affected teeth being affected severely. MIH affected teeth can be sensitive, suffer from post-eruptive breakdown (PEB) and have poor restorative outcomes. Therefore, repair or remineralisation of the hypomineralised lesion has the potential to ameliorate these problems. However, when trying to preserve enamel integrity, several issues can influence mineral gain of affected enamel, such as individual caries risk and compliance, lesion surface layer thickness, increased protein content and rapid PEB. Due to the high prevalence of MIH worldwide and its influence on caries risk and treatment burden, MIH presents a challenge to oral health care systems; so minimisation of treatment burden is imperative.
Learning objectives
To understand the possibility of remineralising hypomineralised enamel
To understand the limiting factors for remineralising hypomineralised enamel
To understand the methods that may improve remineralisation potential

Caries – a disease of underprivileged people
The lecture will describe how, despite a generally improving dental health in children, a high-risk group remains to carry an overall high burden of caries lesions and caries experience. The lecture will discuss the causes underlying the unequal distribution of caries lesions and caries experience between populations, but also globally, and will provide possible ways to address this inequality.
Learning objectives:
(1) To understand causes of health inequality.
(2) To identify gradients in dental health and associated factors.
(3) To demonstrate strategies in tackling health and, specifically, dental health inequalities.

Extraction and space management – the orthodontic solution
Extraction therapy and orthodontic space closure represent a valid treatment approach for molars affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), which also offers certain advantages over prosthetic-restorative therapy, given favourable factors for orthodontic treatment success and a certain severity of hypomineralization with poor long-term prognosis. The decision to extract MIH-affected first molars, however, should not be made by the paediatric dentist or orthodontist alone, but always in conjunction after comprehensive interdisciplinary diagnosis and joint treatment planning, taking into account general, local and secondary factors. Extraction therapy needs to consider not only the MIH pathology itself, but the entire dental and orthodontic status of the patient in question to achieve maximum patient benefit and the individually optimal treatment with minimal adverse effects. For the success of orthodontic extraction therapy in MIH, choosing the optimal time for molar extraction (between 8 and 11.5 years of age), depending on the jaw (upper or lower) as well as the presence or absence of additional dental crowding, is essential. An early referral of children affected by MIH to the orthodontist and an orthodontic examination in the early mixed dentition is recommended to allow for correct timing of orthodontic extraction therapy and space closure in patients, which would benefit from this treatment approach. In this talk the extraction of MIH-affected molars and subsequent orthodontic space closure is discussed as possible treatment option in patients with severe MIH as well as corresponding prerequisites, timing and treatment strategy.

Restorative dentistry and biocompatibility – conflict without solution?
There are several appropriate biomaterials for the restoration of carious and non-carious lesions. However, since amalgam was always alleged to be toxic, also alternative materials get more and more in the focus of so-called biological dentistry. Reports of e.g. Bisphenol-A release from resin-based composites, but also release of aluminum and fluoride from glass ionomer cements are alienating many parents today. Aim of this lecture is to estimate a reasonable rationale for choosing dental biomaterials being a balancing act between toxicology and clinical effectiveness.
