Please visit "http://www.usyd.edu.au/handbooks/M. Dean's welcome Welcome to the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Sydney, Australia's first! We are very happy that you have decided to join our Faculty. As a student of the Faculty, your experience with us will be academically rigorous, highly stimulating, but also student- friendly, supportive and social. We strive to comprehensively prepare you for an exciting, highly respected and rewarding career in dentistry and oral health care. This is an exciting time for us - the Faculty launched its new Bach­ elor of Oral Health degree in 2005. In the BDent program, the Faculty has over the last four years implemented a new educational philo­ sophy and embraced the concepts of self-directed, problem-based learning and of self-evaluation in education with an aim to promoting excellence in Dentistry; our first BDent graduates entered the workforce in late 2004. As a student within the Faculty of Dentistry, your educational experience will involve a blend of clinical, medical and dental science, and dental and clinical practice based on a com­ prehensive care approach. You will also have the opportunity to develop skills in critical analysis, reasoning, team work and problem solving to help you prepare for a professional career and for your life-long learning. Members of the teaching staff are committed to your education and to your evolution to an ethical, empathetic, scientifically informed and clinically competent oral health care provider. Depending on your course of study, this may take the shape of a dental practitioner, or dental hygienist/therapist, or dental specialist for our postgraduate candidates. During your time with us you will be required to attend the two major teaching hospitals of the Faculty: the Sydney Dental Hospital and the Westmead Centre for Oral Health. We will expect of you the kind of honourable and mature behaviour associated with a caring profession in settings in which the University is a guest, albeit an honoured one. You will be accorded significant privileges in these two institutions, and the Faculty will require you to honour these privileges. Our expectation will be that you respect both the patients you treat and the staff who help make your patient treatment exper­ ience possible. Again, welcome to the Faculty and to the University. I hope you will involve yourself fully in all that is offered to you. We have a common goal in your preparation for a professional life, and in your successful contribution to the future wellbeing of the community. Professor Eli Schwarz, KOD Dean 1 Faculty of Dentistry Handbook Faculty overview Faculty of Dentistry semester dates The Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Sydney is Australia's 2006 first and has been involved in the training of dental practitioners for over 100 years.

Academic Editor: Andrew J. Ruys Received: 30 December 2014 / Accepted: 12 February 2015 / Published: 5 March 2015 Abstract: The goal of the current publication is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the topic of dental implant materials. The following paper focuses on conventional titanium implants and more recently introduced and increasingly popular zirconia implants. Major subtopics include the material science and the clinical considerations involving both implant materials and the influence of their physical properties on the treatment outcome. Titanium remains the gold standard for the fabrication of oral implants, even though sensitivity does occur, though its clinical relevance is not yet clear. Zirconia implants may prove to be promising in the future; however, further in vitro and well-designed in vivo clinical studies are needed before such a recommendation can be made. Special considerations and technical experience are needed when dealing with zirconia implants to minimize the incidence of mechanical failure.

  • Community Dentistry and Public Health Dentistry—Roles and Current Discipline Issues
    FEATURED ARTICLE Hong Kong Dental Journal 2005;2:79-83 HK DJJ Community dentistry and public health dentistry—roles and current discipline issues Eli Schwarz *, KOD, DDS, MPH, PhD, FHKAM (Dental Surgery), FCDSHK, FACD ABSTRACT This paper aimed to describe the specialty of community dentistry and to highlight some of the knowledge base and research that makes it an indispensable part of modern dentistry. In addition, some important global issues will be discussed. Community dentistry is a varied and changing field. It derives its knowledge base and methods of inquiry from dental as well as socio-behavioral disciplines. The combination of these provides a fertile ground for being involved in decision-making at the highest levels of society, when choices are made and plans devised to improve the health care system that will eventually positively impact the oral health of the population. Community dentists will often be asked to translate incomprehensible research data into practical everyday preventive recommendations that are relevant to society’s financial constraints. The acceptance of this discipline as a specialty in its own right—as in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia—is a just recognition of the many contributions community dentistry makes to the dental profession, to society, and to the population as a whole. Introduction as the terminology to be consistent with the expected outcome of the College deliberations. Dentists who want to undergo specialty training in orthodontics will, without any difficulty, find a training Definitions and relationships program named as such anywhere in the world. In contrast, there is little agreement on what constitutes Community dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that community or public health dentistry.

The aim of this article is to review the currently available literature to provide an overview of the scientific principles of CAP application, its features, functions, and its applications in systemic and oral diseases, with a specific focus on its potential in implantology. In this narrative review, PubMed, Medline, and Scopus databases were searched using key words like “cold atmospheric plasma”, “argon plasma”, “helium plasma”, “air plasma”, “dental implants”, “implantology”, “peri-implantitis”, “decontamination”. In vitro studies demonstrated CAP’s potential to enhance surface colonization and osteoblast activity and to accelerate mineralization, as well as to determine a clean surface with cell growth comparable to the sterile control on both titanium and zirconia surfaces. The effect of CAP on biofilm removal was revealed in comparative studies to the currently available decontamination modalities (laser, air abrasion, and chlorhexidine).
