A brand-new educational and networking event has been developed by Geistlich Pharma Australia and New Zealand, bringing together an array of relevant topics for the auxiliary staff and clinicians. By aligning the event curriculum to match your needs, we will be presenting new topics tailored to your daily working requirements.

Program for Auxiliary Staff

The event aims to bring together dental auxiliary staff to facilitate sharing of ideas, learning about the science behind Geistlich products (including safety and correct handling), and how to meet the mandatory requirements for patient education and best practice. You will learn the indications of use and get the opportunity to see how Geistlich products react when applied to defect sites. In addition, 3 guests will be sharing their comprehensive knowledge in the fields of infection control, oral hygiene, and periodontal instrumentation.

Program for Clinicians - Hands-On Workshop

The importance of soft tissue management around teeth and implants for health and aesthetics is gaining appreciation. A major challenge in implant dentistry is the establishment of a harmonious emergence profile of the implant restoration, which is of more significance in the anterior region. In order to achieve acceptable results, the clinician must appreciate the significance of soft tissue volume and keratinised width around restorations. Dr George Alexopoulos, Clinical Science and Education manager – Geistlich Pharma and New Zealand will facilitate a short hands-on workshop dedicated to clinical approaches in soft tissue management. These hands-on exercises will be performed on a novel simulation model.
