Spring 2016 President s Message Dear Fellows & Members, The first objective of the College of Dental Surgeons of Hong Kong is to promote for the public benefit the advancement of knowledge in the field of Dental Surgery and its associated subjects. What is knowledge? know-how and wisdom. In our context, this means information, In this age of electronic data over-flooding, the environment is overwhelmed with useless misinformation. We have all encountered patients presenting with self-conceived ideas obtained from Google and dictating their own treatment plans. Technical procedures can be easily seen from YouTube, Facebook, etc. These need to be filtered, and conceptualized before regarded as information. Even for the dental profession, explicit information is only referred to as know-what. A higher level of tacit knowledge is sometimes referred to as know-how. After gathering the know-whats and know-hows, experiences mature the knowledge with wisdom. That calls for the need of supervised training. Structured Specialist training pathway is but one way of refining our delivery of care to the community through the tedious process of knowledge sharing, refining and accreditation. The role of the College goes beyond the person-to-person delivery of knowledge. - 1 -
President s Message The College is responsible for the management of knowledge. With the expertise from our own eight specialties and general practice, the College is in the position to be a Central Bank to manage the dental knowledge - with a mission to create, share, store, refine and disseminate new knowledge. Examinations and courses materials should be regarded as communal intellectual treasures under continuous refinement. An organizational knowledge data bank should be gradually accumulated and formalized. With the co-operation of the Hong Kong Dental Association, in fact this is being done the direction of Membership in General Practice (MGD) training. With such a prospective Central Bank of knowledge, modular courses can be valued with credit points. A multiple-entries, multiple-exits modular training format can cater for different level of training demands. In a parallel development, the College has ipso facto become the Clearing House for CME/CPD points. It goes beyond bean-counting. We calibrate and record the transactions and sharing of knowledge. By setting and upholding the standard of allocated CME/CPD points to educational activities, the dental profession is seen with a will to update our yesterday s knowledge openly. Knowledge is to be shared. Our professional knowledge is impacted by our predecessors and to be handed over to our successors. It is something we shall all enjoy to share with our peers, our organization and our community. Happy Chinese New Year to Everyone! Dr CHAN Sai-kwing - 2 -

Scientific Meetings The Winter Scientific Meeting 2015 on Digital Dentistry was successfully held on 22 nd November at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine with more than 280 participants. Digital Dentistry relates to dental technologies or devices that incorporate digital or computerized components for controlling workflow in dental practice. At this meeting, a total of seven local experts from diverse dental backgrounds shared their experience on aspects of digital dentistry in the Hong Kong context, the process and outcomes of digital dentistry, communications with dental manufacturers and dental suppliers, and the research in this newly-emerged field. The event was kicked off by Dr Alex Chan, a Specialist in Endodontics, on the topic of Endodontic Applications of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Dr Chan has been using digital radiography in the field of Endodontics for a period of time and he shared his valuable experience and cases during the lecture. He also illustrated how CBCT allowed three-dimensional assessment of odontogenic and non-odontogenic lesions, root canal morphology, revision treatment, root and alveolar fractures, and resorptive lesions which would definitely be beneficial to our patients during treatment planning stage. As the development of digital dentistry offers many advantages in our treatment planning, Dr John Wu, a Specialist in Orthodontics, followed by presenting a topic on Orthodontic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning with Digital Technology. Dr Wu discussed on the fundamental importance of treatment planning in orthodontic treatment and shared with the audience the advantages and disadvantages of applying digital technology in this aspect. After the coffee break, two other local speakers broadened our scope on the use of digital system for clinical workflow with topics 3D Printing Is It a Revolution or a White Elephant in Dentistry by Dr James Chow and Why Use Digital Clinic Management System by Dr Johnny Wong respectively. Dr Chow brought us to understand the basic of 3D printing and the possibilities as well as limitations of its application in dentistry, with illustrations from the perspective of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. While we all knew that using digital approach would be the future for our clinic management system in handling records, Dr Wong put the emphasis on the circumstances we would encounter when using such system in our - 13 -
Scientific Meetings clinic since not many practitioners were willing to change and use digital records completely at this moment. We were happy to have comments and feedback from the audience after these two innovative and informative lectures. In the afternoon sessions, two speakers, Mr Alwin Ngai, an experienced dental technician, and Dr Daniel Fang, a Prosthodontist, spoke on digital technology in Restorative Dentistry. They both have adopted digital system in their dental laboratory / dental clinic workflow respectively for many years. Mr Ngai spoke on the topic of Inside a Digital Dental Lab illustrating the whole digital workflow process in a dental laboratory with in-depth knowledge that tremendously helped many clinicians to learn the know-hows in bringing the best out of the dental laboratory so to provide clinical work of good quality for our patients. It is also very important to incorporate a digital workflow in our dental clinic to complete the process of digital use and Dr Fang presented the topic on Digital Workflow in Restorative Dentistry Are You Ready for the Change. He talked about the advantages and disadvantages and more importantly his experience on the use of different clinical tools in daily clinical practice for the digital workflow. The audience, no matter whether they are looking for a change to digital dentistry or already using it, found it very practical. We were happy to have Dr Wilson Lee, an Orthodontist, to wrap up the day, by sharing his clinical practice in orthodontics using digital technology, with topic Myths and Facts of Invisible Orthodontic Appliance. He shared his clinical cases using digital workflow and showed how it helped give patient satisfaction with up-to-date technology and high quality clinical work in orthodontic treatment which traditional approach might not be able to offer. The close of the 2015 Winter Scientific Meeting on Digital Dentistry probably leads us to start thinking seriously on how we can adopt digital concept in our daily work which can predictably improve our service to the patients. We are well aware that Digital Dentistry is the way forward in modern dentistry and with its fast-changing nature, we may need to prepare ourselves to take steps out of our comfort zone. We are looking forward to seeing you all in the 2016 Spring Scientific Meeting on 15 May, with our tentative themes on Special Care/Needs Dentistry and Implant Dentistry.

News for Fellows and Members Specialty Education and Training Development Fund (SETDF) The aim of the Specialty Education and Training Development Fund (SETDF) is to encourage Specialty Boards and the Committee in General Dentistry (CGD) to organize or conduct education and training activities for trainees, fellows, members, and/or trainers. This is a pilot fund of which application for the SETDF will be valid for two years, from April 2014 till March 2016, and a maximum accumulative amount of HKD30,000 will be allocated for each specialty/cgd. So far, the Specialty Boards in Periodontology and Prosthodontics had organized their first functions under this fund on 10 October 2014 and 3 July 2015 respectively. Both specialty boards give positive feedback and view that the fund provides an opportunity to nurture trainer-trainee relationship which is essential for building a stronger team of trainers as well as encouraging trainees along the road to becoming a specialist. Towards the close of the funding application, the College Council will look into the possibility of extending the period of provision for the SETDF and will keep the Specialty Board/CGD Chairmen updated. CDSHK Scholarship The College of Dental Surgeons of Hong Kong Scholarship ( Scholarship ) has been set up to support Fellows admitted in or after the year 2011 and higher trainees in our specialist training pathways to participate in overseas training.
