Dr Tan Hee HonMDS (Prosthodontics);BDS

Dr Tan Hee Hon is a practitioner in the fields of Prosthodontics, Implant Dentistry and Orofacial Pain.

He earned his BDS from National University of Singapore in 1989 and completed his Prosthodontics Residency Program in 1995. In 1999, he spent a sabbatical year under another

sponsorship of Health Manpower Development Program for the Study of Orofacial Pain. After working at the Oral Medicine Department, School of Dentistry, University of Washington, he returned to National Dental Center and became the Head of Orofacial Pain Management Program. From 2004 to 2014, he was in full time private practice at Mount Elizabeth Medical Center. He is appointed to be a trainer for NobelGuide Concept and Mentor for NobelBiocare Implants educational program in 2005.

Dr Tan maintains his passion for education. His lecture topics include implant dentistry, prosthodontics, orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorder. In 2014, his enthusiasm for education and research of prosthodontics and orofacial pain prompted him to join National University of Singapore, as a full time member of the Faculty of Dentistry.

Lecture Synopsis: The Crisis - Chronic Pain

How much do we know about chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders? What is the model of illness and care to adopt when we are managing chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders? Diagnosis and management of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders is always puzzling to healthcare providers. Without a proper working diagnosis, the management of the patient will be very challenging. This presentation focuses on the interactive factors in explaining and diagnosing chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders.

Lecture Synopsis: Factors for clinical success with adhesively bonded dental composites

This presentation will discuss the clinically relevant factors involved in successful outcomes with the placement of adhesively bonded dental composites. The current scientific literature will be reviewed to outline how areas such as case selection, control of the operative field, adhesive placement, composite selection, dental composite placement technique, and photopolymerization can affect clinical outcomes in your dental practice. 

Dr Kaan Sheung Kin

Dr Kaan is an adjunct senior lecturer in the Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore. He received his BDS from National University of Singapore and completed his Masters in Science (Medical Sciences) in Orthodontics at the University of Glasgow in 1988. In 1991, he became a member in Dental Orthopaedics at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. In 1993, he became a Fellow of Academy of Medicine of Singapore

under the Chapter of Dental Surgeons. Since then, Dr Kaan has had tremendous work experiences as an orthodontics specialist, running his own private specialist practice.

Lecture Synopsis: Orthodontic management of the special needs patient

In 1984, I obtained a MOH traineeship in orthodontics. As a trainee based in a polyclinic run by an orthodontist, I spent a full year working with removable orthodontic appliances. Making, issuing, activating, repairing and discarding them taught me much about as to how I could treat many patients cheaply and effectively.

After graduating from the orthodontic course in Glasgow in 1988, I started working at Government Dental Clinic, SGH. There were great opportunities to treat and learn from a variety of cases, albeit very “normal” patients. It was also while working in the government clinic that I had the opportunity to do interceptive orthodontics, growth modifications, surgical corrections and very importantly, working with pedodontists.

It was only after setting up my own private practice that I had time to push things further. In 2001, without any special needs training, I started helping out at the rainbow Centre Dental Clinic in Margaret Drive Special School, treating children with both physical and mental disabilities. It was before long that I treated my first autistic orthodontic patient. Since then, through self-taught trial and error, my special needs patients have been treated with the whole gamut of orthodontic applications, running the whole gamut of interceptive extractions, removable plates, fixed appliances and fixed retainers. A systematic management approach to treating the special needs patient has evolved over the years, working in tandem with the patients, parents, caregivers, dental assistants, dentists, clinics and bosses.

In this lecture, I will try to show how ordinary or “normal” orthodontic management of the special needs patient can be.

Dr Hu Shijia

Dr Hu Shijia joined NUS in 2010 as a dental instructor. He completed his residency and PhD from the University of North Carolina and returned in 2016 to his alma mater to join the NUS Faculty of Dentistry as assistant professor. Shijia is a board-certified pediatric dentist in the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and works as a registrar in the NUH dental cluster.

Lecture Synopsis: Early Orthodontic Intervention According to a Dummy

To treat, not to treat or refer? Often, children present with head-scratching malocclusions that baffle their primary dentist. Should they be referred to an orthodontist right away, in 3 years’ time or can they be treated easily by the primary dentist? Even harder to manage are parents who insists that their children inherited their spouse’s “bad teeth”! In this talk we shall look at some common malocclusions that are present in children and adolescents, and discuss possible management strategies for these conditions according to a dummy.

Lecture Synopsis: The Impact of Smoking on Periodontal and Peri-Implant Health and Disease

Recent evidence indicates an increasing prevalence of smoking in Singapore. This lecture will review current evidence on the effects of smoking on periodontal tissue health, periodontal treatment outcomes, implant therapy outcomes and long-term prognosis. This information will help practitioners better educate their patients on the need for and the benefits of smoking cessation in the context of maintaining optimal periodontal and periimplant health.
