Wearabouts – the how, what, wear and why of managing tooth wear in general dental practice
The CGDent Scotland Study Day 2023 featured Professor Shamir Mehta FCGDent and Subir Banerji FCGDent, both Directors of the MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry at King’s College London, who presented the current evidence on toothwear, provided a guide to managing tooth wear in general dental practice, and illustrate the clinical techniques applied in the rehabilitation of the worn dentition.
Professor Jason Leitch CBE FCGDent delivered the annual Caldwell Memorial Lecture on Recovering from a Pandemic: NHS Scotland’s legacy post-COVID.
Shamir Mehta is a Professor and Course Lead for the MSc in Restorative Dentistry at the College of Medicine and Dentistry and Ulster University, Senior Clinical Teacher and Director of the MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry at King’s College London, and Visiting Professor and PhD supervisor at Radboud University, where he is part of the Radboud Tooth Wear Project.
Subir Banerji is the Programme Director of the MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry, and PhD supervisor, at King’s College London, co-author of books including Practical Procedures in the Management of Tooth Wear and Practical Procedures in Aesthetic Dentistry, and a general dental practitioner in private practice in Ealing.
