The professional body for primary oral healthcare and general practice dentistry: fostering the commitment of dental professionals to excellent patient care and oral health for all, supporting professional development, and enhancing careers.
The Primary Dental Journal is our quarterly, themed and peer-reviewed membership journal, uniquely dedicated to general dental practice.
The current issue is the second of two consecutive journal issues on the theme of implant dentistry. ‘Implant dentistry (part two)’, guest-edited by Professor Ilser Turkyilmaz, Associate Dean of Digital Innovation, Professor and Chair at USA Case Western Reserve University’s School of Dental Medicine, focuses on digital and analogue workflows, with the core emphasis on the importance of thorough treatment planning, reinforced by advanced imaging techniques.
Members of the College are committed to excellence in patient care and promoting oral health.Search our Register to find members with recognised qualifications in particular areas of practice, on a regional or national level.
Dr Roy Bennett FCGDent, a dentist with a special interest in the care of anxious patients and an IACSD-accredited sedation course organiser, has been appointed as a Trustee of the College.
The College has endorsed the third edition of Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children, published this week by the Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme.
“‘Satisficing’ standards in dentistry: Who decides? Who benefits?” will challenge the notion of the ‘ideal treatment plan’ and contend that subconscious bias and possible self-interests can lead some supposed experts to confuse their version of a questionable ‘gold standard’ with what is really in a patient’s overall best interests and with what the law expects.
Nominations recently closed for seats on the College Council and verification of candidates has now taken place. A ballot of eligible members is required for three of the seats being decided this year.
OPEN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. The College is looking for a Membership Manager to join its staff team in order to oversee and deliver its membership administration and support function.
