Tongue posture and mandibular advancement splints for OSA
The position and posture of the tongue play a vital role in the effectiveness of Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS). Proper tongue position can help maintain an open airway, which is critical for treating sleep apnea. When the tongue is positioned correctly, it can help reduce airway resistance and prevent the tongue from collapsing into the airway, which causes snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the tongue posture and position are considered when using a MAS to ensure optimal results.

Management of Caries, Erosion and Hypersensitivity Risk with a Saliva Biomimetic and Stannous Fluoride
Casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), a saliva biomimetic derived from bovine milk, is in a variety of oral care products (eg tooth crème, dental varnish and GIC) and has been shown to remineralise and regress early stages of enamel and dentine demineralisation. Recently CPP-ACP has been shown to interact synergistically with stannous fluoride (SnF2) to stabilise and enhance delivery of stannous ions (Sn2+) and fluoride ions to produce a superior remineralisation system for both enamel and dentine. The scientific evidence and clinical application protocols for the different CPP-ACP and F combinations and products will be presented.

Radiopacities in OPG’s: What a dental practitioner should know - Part 1
Non-dental pathologies are commonly encountered as incidental findings in OPGs as radiopacities. In the majority of such cases, the main aim of identifying the radiopacities accurately is to determine whether treatment or any further investigations or referrals are required.

Direct composite artistry
There has been an increasing demand in cosmetic procedures in the past decade. Understanding the science behind sculpting resin for predictable outcomes can be quite challenging amongst clinicians. However, if we follow a protocol and keep the foundations and basics in mind, the same material can produce great results aesthetically, biologically and functionally, while maintaining it's predictability.

Microbiome modulation with a saliva biomimetic for periodontal health
Gingivitis is associated with plaque accumulation, resulting in inflammation, an increase in microbial diversity and soft tissue swelling to form a pocket. A saliva biomimetic CPP-ACP has been shown to increase plaque commensal/beneficial bacteria and significantly reduce periodontal disease. This was closely associated with an increase in commensal species, (particularly periodontal pathogens antagonists) and to suppress inflammation and induce mucosal tolerance. In conclusion, modulating plaque microbial composition by increasing the fitness of commensal/beneficial bacteria can improve mucosal homeostasis and periodontal health.
