A breakthrough: Pro-ArginTM Technology

With Pro-Argin™ Technology, you can fi nally provide instant* and lasting relief from dentin hypersensitivity using the Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Treatment Program:

• In-office desensitizing paste • At-home everyday toothpaste

Pro-Argin™ Technology works through a natural process of dentin tubule occlusion that attracts arginine and calcium carbonate to the dentin surface to form a protective seal that provides instant relief.2

* Instant relief is achieved with direct application of toothpaste massaged on sensitive tooth for 1 minute.

Welcomes you

the Jamaica Dental association

to our 47th annual convention

I take great pleasure in welcoming you to the 47th Annual Convention of the Jamaica Dental Association, February 16th – 19th, 2011. It is an honour to be a part of this continuum in

the quest for further knowledge and enhancement of skills in our profession.Each year the members of the Jamaica Dental Association look forward to inviting colleagues and friends to join us at our national convention. This year we return to the beautiful town of Ocho Rios and we hope that your stay at the Sunset Jamaica Grand Resort will be both rejuvenating and educational.

We have a full agenda during this four day conference, so please take a few minutes to read through the information in this booklet. It includes our itinerary and other important information.

As per usual, we have excellent presenters this year; all our lecturers this year, with the exception of one, are new to our convention. Topics of interest for all members of the dental team will be presented, including cosmetic dentistry, forensics, implantology,practice management and drug management of medically compromised patients.

After honing your skills in the mornings and early afternoons, you are invited to explore all that Ocho Rios has to offer, perhaps climbing Dunn’s River Falls, playing a few rounds of golf, zip lining through “Mystic Mountain” or shopping for something unique in a craft market. Our social events will fill your evenings with exotic Caribbean entertainment. Of particular interest may be the relaxing dinner cruise on Jamaica Night and of course our Gala Dinner Dance.

Our success has always been due to the support of our sponsors, contributing lecturers, exhibitors and participants. I take this opportunity to thank all those who have worked assiduously with the Association and the Convention Committee to make this conference a reality.

PresiDent’smessage

W elcome to the 47th Convention of the Jamaica Dental Association, a convention built on a tradition of providing quality continuing dental

education set in the backdrop of a tropical island paradise.

The dynamic field of dentistry requires us to be current with products, procedures and information. In today’s information age where answers (both good and bad) become available with the click of a mouse, it is our duty to be current in our field in an effort to provide our patients with the highest quality of dentistry. Our convention has always been structured to satisfy this need by bringing together the best of lecturers and exhibitors.

For 2011 we return to the beautiful town of Ocho Rios. Amidst all the learning I encourage you to take the time to enjoy all the town has to offer. Climb to the top of Dunn’s River Falls, play with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove or find your adventurous self at Mystic Mountain. The town has much to offer.

To Dr. Horace Freeman, Mrs. Mary Sorum and the hard working convention committee, special thanks for continuing our tradition of excellence and making yet another convention a reality.

To all our conventioneers, lecturers, exhibitors, volunteers, friends and well wishers I extend a warm “irie” Jamaican welcome, prepare to be educated and entertained.

Dr. Tanya PerryPresident JDA

governorgeneral’s

messageI greet delegates attending the 47th Annual Convention of

the Jamaica Dental Association.In an increasingly knowledge-based society, it is always useful for persons in every field of endeavour to upgrade their skills and keep abreast of developments that can enhance their work. The Jamaica Dental Association has remained consistent in its efforts to advance dental health care locally, through public education, high standards and improvements in the professional practice.

The staging of the 47th Annual Dental Convention will expose dental professionals to the most recent developments in dental health care and techniques that will elevate the quality of care provided to clients. The event will also provide a forum for networking and knowledge sharing among professionals.

I am confident that all your objectives for staging this Dental Convention will be realized, and wish the Association every success in all future endeavours.

Patrick L AllenGovernor-General


Prime minister’smessage

T he forty-seventh staging of the Jamaica Dental Association’s annual convention is an indication of the consistent and far-reaching work of the Jamaica

Dental Association. This Convention sets the stage for professionals and other persons associated with the practice of dentistry, to collaborate on policies, practices and advancements in the field.

Today, the Jamaica Dental Association can claim success and pride in its many accomplishments; and must be commended on its strident advocacy on behalf of its members. This has facilitated a greater recognition of and improvements in the profession. The members must also receive high praises for consistently delivering service of distinctive quality to its clients and patients. The fiercely competitive world economy within which we operate, demands no less; and I am pleased that the Association and its members are cognizant of these strict imperatives that exist in global marketplace.

I welcome the international professionals and other individuals to our shores, to what I anticipate will be an impactful and successful Convention 2011.

Bruce GoldingHonourable Prime Minister

minister oF health’smessage

O ur dentists are an integral part of our health team who play a vital role in protecting the health of our people. I want to commend the Dental Association of

Jamaica for the tremendous contribution they have made towards this endeavour through the annual staging of their dental convention that helps to facilitate the personal and professional development of our local dentists.

In these challenging times, we have been grappling with the pervasive problem of scarce resources and the area of dental services is no exception. We know that you sometimes work in less than desirable conditions but make no mistake we are working ardently to correct this problem. I am happy to convey that the Ministry of Health is now in the process of procuring new equipment and we are spending some $8 million to acquire new dental chairs.

For the new financial year we will be placing more focus on dental services. We have been partnering with the University of Technology with the training of all categories of dental auxiliaries and have supported the training of dental surgeons in Jamaica. I know that we all share the common vision of seeing a more robust public health system for the new year, and together we will make it happen.

My very best wishes to all the members of your organization and for a successful staging of this your 47th annual convention.

Hon. Rudyard Spencer, OD, MPMinister of Health

oPPositionleaDer’smessageI congratulate the Jamaica Dental Association (JDA) on the

occasion of your 47th Annual Convention.

The period of your organisation’s sterling service to Jamaica transcends the 47 years of the staging of your convention. In fact, for 83 years, the JDA has provided to its membership with distinguished leadership and the people of Jamaica with high quality professional service. Since 1928, the JDA has established itself as the national voice of the dental profession in Jamaica. Over those many years, the Jamaica Dental Association has remained committed to advancing the interest of the profession, upholding and improving the highest standards of dental practice and promoting oral health as an essential component of general health care.

The sustainable improvement of our country’s system of health care and the attainment of first world standards in access, coverage and delivery of total health care, requires the continued commitment of service providers such as your members. It is no secret that the health sector is faced with severe challenges that can be traced to significant resource constraints and the implementation of policies that are proving to be unsustainable.

In these circumstances, your annual convention provides an ideal forum for your membership to take stock of the profession and contribute meaningfully to the broader debate on the recalibration and revitalisation of the entire system of health care delivery in Jamaica.

I wish you well in your deliberations and trust that the convention outcomes will do justice to the hard work that the executive and members of the JDA have invested in preparing for the event.

Let me also use this opportunity to welcome your visiting guests to Jamaica. It is my sincere hope that the convention will be so successful as to surpass your expectations while enabling your overseas guests to enjoy some of the many leisure activities our island offers.
