Dental implantology is an exciting and fast-moving field of dentistry that provides new opportunities to grow for the entire team. The ADI Team Congress 2023 was an exceptional display of
talent and innovation. Friday's programme included sessions tailored to dental nurses, practice managers, dental hygienists and therapists. For dental nurses, a combination of lectures,
interactive sessions and hands-on practicals were provided. Hannah Fullerton gave an intriguing lecture showing how dental nurses can add value to their role by taking on new tasks such as
intraoral scanning and digital treatment planning. She shared her own journey, highlighting just how rewarding it can be for a dental nurse with a passion for learning new skills. Delegates
also had the opportunity to get hands-on with a scrub and drape session with Kasia Allen, and delve into the field of suturing with Ryan Hughes. The Dental Nurses & Practice Managers
Programme finished off with further insights into the benefits of photography and intraoral scanning, including a practical session with Kayley McCauley. In the Dental Hygienists &
Therapists Programme, lectures covered an array of clinical topics from use of airpolishing to decontaminate All on 4, to prevention and management of peri-implantitis and even handling
zygomatic implants. In the afternoon, the programme took delegates on a journey of 'Dental Success and the Human Factor', with Ganase Dharrie-Maharaj and Andrew Perkins. They
covered some very interesting concepts designed to help professionals better understand how they work and what they can do to enhance their skills and experience at work. RIGHTS AND
