MESSAGE FROM THE DEANWelcome to the Sixth <strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong> Research Day.All <strong>of</strong> the previous Research Days have been very successfuland we are pleased to have an outstanding program for to<strong>day</strong>.The <strong>2013</strong> Research Day continues the approach <strong>of</strong> using aclinical case to introduce the need to conduct basic <strong>research</strong>and the translation <strong>of</strong> <strong>research</strong> findings into patient careapplications. Research is the investment that the pr<strong>of</strong>essionmakes for the future. Basic <strong>research</strong> findings will becomenew diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for our patientsand so it is critical to keep pushing the envelope <strong>of</strong> knowledgeforward. <strong>UBC</strong> is a <strong>research</strong>-intensive university and theFaculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong> is committed to playing a critical rolein oral health <strong>research</strong>. We hope that this <strong>day</strong> highlights thelinks between basic <strong>research</strong> and clinical dentistry.The overall theme for Research Day <strong>2013</strong> is TechnologicalAdvances in <strong>Dentistry</strong>. The rate <strong>of</strong> change in technology hasincreased at an incredible rate. Approaches that could nothave even been imagined 25 years ago are now becomingcommon and in fact approaching the standard <strong>of</strong> care. At thistime, many <strong>of</strong> the technological advances are quite expensiveand decisions to invest need to be carefully considered.The clinical decision-making required to use a new technologyneeds to take the best interests <strong>of</strong> the patient into account.<strong>UBC</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong> faculty members and the people working intheir laboratories are at the cutting edge <strong>of</strong> both developingand implementing these technologies, which makes thespeakers in to<strong>day</strong>’s program particularly valuable. They willbe resources for the dental pr<strong>of</strong>ession in <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> formany years and understanding their programs <strong>of</strong> <strong>research</strong> shouldbe very beneficial.We are delighted to have a keynote speaker who is internationallyrecognized for his <strong>research</strong> in composite resins. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor JackFerracane is from just down the coast in Oregon and we hopehe will become a much more frequent visitor to Vancouver andthe <strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong>. I have heard him speak on severaloccasions and always come away with new insights aboutcomposite resins.I hope you enjoy the program and gain additional awareness <strong>of</strong>the new technologies that are entering the practice <strong>of</strong> dentistry.I further hope you gain perspective on the considerations forusing new technology on your patients and the clinicaldecision-making that is required. Future <strong>research</strong> technologicaladvances are certain to make a difference in our approachesto diagnosis and treatment.Thank you for your participation.Charles F. Shuler, DMD, PhDPr<strong>of</strong>essor and Dean, <strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong>3

MESSAGE FROM THE ASSOCIATE DEAN OF RESEARCHThank you for attending the Sixth Annual <strong>UBC</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong>Research Day.As novel technologies and materials are developed with thepremise that they will enhance the standard <strong>of</strong> care and willbe utilized in health care <strong>of</strong>fices, it is crucial for pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsto not only embrace them with cautious optimism but tocritically evaluate them in relation to patient safety and theirrelative improvement over established technologies/materials.Research Day <strong>2013</strong> aims to examine some key aspectsassociated with cone beam computed tomography, CAD/CAM technologies, dental material selection for CAD/CAM,and a review <strong>of</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art resin composites.To begin the <strong>day</strong>, we will have three presentations from thelaboratory <strong>of</strong> Dr. Nancy Ford focusing on cone beam CT.They will address the relationship between radiationdosimetry and image quality, the use <strong>of</strong> cone beam CT forpediatric patient assessment, and a comparison <strong>of</strong> this newimaging modality with traditional radiographic techniques.As the <strong>day</strong> progresses, we will transition to a review <strong>of</strong>CAD/CAM technologies and how digital imaging and millingis transforming crown preparation. Three presentationswill cover the use <strong>of</strong> CAD/CAM machines in dental <strong>of</strong>fices,aspects related to dental material selection for CAD/CAM,and the results <strong>of</strong> an assessment <strong>of</strong> marginal crown fitachieved via CAD/CAM. We are delighted and honouredto have Dr. Jack Ferracane, a world-class authority indental materials, present the keynote address on state-<strong>of</strong>the-artdental resin composites. I would like to express ourappreciation to the outstanding faculty, graduate students,postdoctoral <strong>research</strong> fellow, invited presenter, and oursponsors, all <strong>of</strong> whom have agreed to participate and supportResearch Day <strong>2013</strong>.In addition, please do read through this Research Dayprogram booklet to see the other exciting <strong>research</strong> that iscurrently being done by our faculty and students here at the<strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong>. In closing, this Research Day andthe book that you all have received were made possible bythe efforts <strong>of</strong> many people on the Research Day OrganizingCommittee. I would like to personally thank Ingrid Ellis,Nancy Ford, Alison Kovacs, Jane Merling, Dorin Ruse,Nik Williams-Walshe, and Terry Wintonyk, who have workedvery hard to ensure that all aspects <strong>of</strong> this <strong>day</strong> are successful.Do enjoy Research Day <strong>2013</strong>.Edward E. Putnins, DMD, PhD, Dip PerioPr<strong>of</strong>essor and Associate Dean <strong>of</strong> Research,Graduate & Postgraduate Studies6


NANCY L. FORD, BSc, PhDDr. Nancy Ford completed her PhD inMedical Biophysics at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>Western Ontario. Her initial academicappointment was in the Department<strong>of</strong> Physics at Ryerson <strong>University</strong> inToronto, Ontario. Dr. Ford joined the<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> in2011 as the Director <strong>of</strong> the Centrefor High-Throughput Phenogenomicsand an Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor in theDepartment Oral Biological & MedicalSciences. Her <strong>research</strong> has focusedon optimizing and assessing imagingprotocols for preclinical and clinicalcomputed tomography.IMAGE QUALITY ANDDOSIMETRY IN CONE BEAMCOMPUTED TOMOGRAPHYAdvances in imaging technology haveenabled affordable three-dimensionalX-ray imaging techniques specificallytargeting dental imaging. Cone beamcomputed tomography (CBCT)technology is available in dental <strong>of</strong>ficesworldwide and can produce 3D images<strong>of</strong> the maxill<strong>of</strong>acial region that werepreviously unattainable using 2Dtechnologies. These images can beacquired with high spatial resolution tovisualize the internal structures <strong>of</strong> theteeth and underlying bone. However,these high-quality 3D images come ata price—an increased radiation doseto the patient. In this presentation, thecompromises between image quality andpatient dose in CBCT will be discussed.ELLA CHOI, BSc, DDSDr. Ella Choi is currently a secondyear student in the combined MScand Diploma in Pediatric <strong>Dentistry</strong>Program at the <strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong><strong>Dentistry</strong>. She obtained her Doctor <strong>of</strong>Dental Surgery from the <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> Alberta. Her <strong>research</strong> focuses onunderstanding the radiation dose inpediatric patients receiving cone beamCT imaging. She has received theArthur Cumming Award for excellencein pediatric dentistry and the AmericanAssociation <strong>of</strong> Pediatric <strong>Dentistry</strong>Student Award.USE OF CONE BEAM COMPUTEDTOMOGRAPHY IN THEPEDIATRIC PATIENTThe frequency <strong>of</strong> use <strong>of</strong> cone beamcomputed tomography (CBCT) indentistry is increasing every year.CBCT provides valuable informationto dentists that cannot otherwise beobtained. However, there are a limitednumber <strong>of</strong> studies on CBCT radiationand its cumulative lifetime effect inchildren. Children are more sensitiveto radiation and they have a longerpost-radiation lifespan than adults:the younger the child, the higher theirrisk <strong>of</strong> cancer. The radiation dosefrom a single CT scan is relatively low.However, doses to pediatric patients are<strong>of</strong>ten higher than necessary. As part <strong>of</strong>my <strong>research</strong>, I have measured radiationdoses using adult head phantomsand conducted population studies todetermine the specifics for designingpediatric head phantoms.8


PIERRE DEMAN, PhDDr. Pierre Deman performed lifescience imaging studies at the InstitutPolytechnique du Grenoble (DiplômeD’Ingénieur, Grenoble, France) andthe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Grenoble (Master’sDegree). He did his doctoral trainingat the Grenoble NeurosciencesInstitute and the European SynchrotronRadiation Facility on a new method <strong>of</strong>brain tumour radiation therapy andtreatment follow-up with functionalimaging (perfusion measurement).Dr. Deman completed a postdoctoralfellowship at the French Health Defenseon lung immune system imaging usingin vivo two-photon microscopy.A COMPARISON OF THERADIATION DOSE FROMDIFFERENT DENTALIMAGING PROCEDURESDental cone beam computed tomographyscanners were introduced to performthree-dimensional high resolutionimaging. As they are dedicated to highcontrast imaging, a low radiation doseto the patient is achievable. But thereis currently no accepted method <strong>of</strong>confirming the dose as it is too differentfrom narrow slice computed tomographyand fluoroscopy, which have protocols tomeasure an indicator <strong>of</strong> the dose (CTDIand DAP, respectively). Dose distribution(dose free-in-air, in a phantom, beampr<strong>of</strong>iles) and a new method compatiblewith every X-ray source has been testedand shows that the radiation received froma CBCT is two times lower than from amulti-slice CT and around 20 times higherthan from a panoramic system.MARK FOGELMAN, DMD, FCPDr. Mark Fogelman received his DMDdegree from the Hebrew <strong>University</strong> inJerusalem, Israel. He practiced generaldentistry for 20 years prior to joiningthe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>British</strong> <strong>Columbia</strong> asa Clinical Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor. In 2008,he introduced the CEREC CAD/CAMdentistry program for undergraduateand graduate students. S<strong>of</strong>t tissue LEDlasers were later integrated to addsupport to s<strong>of</strong>t tissue management inthe Integrated Clinical Care clinic.Dr. Fogelman’s areas <strong>of</strong> special interestinclude incorporating technologicaladvances in dental education and he ispassionately involved in establishing aDigital Clinical Learning Centre at the<strong>UBC</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dentistry</strong>.ANALOG TO DIGITAL:PARADIGM SHIFT INRESTORATIVE DENTISTRYInnovations in dental laboratorytechnology through the digitalization<strong>of</strong> manufacturing indirect restorationswere the catalysts to the integration <strong>of</strong>emerging technologies in restorativedentistry. Change in dentistry iscontinuous and is traditionallyevolutionary in nature. However, therapidly developing field <strong>of</strong> technologyis transforming dentistry at anunprecedented pace—more revolutionthan evolution. For many who arepracticing and teaching dentistry, this isa paradigm shift that challenges manywell-established practices. Consequently,we are required to make the rightdecisions for our patients, students,and the future <strong>of</strong> the dental pr<strong>of</strong>ession.This presentation will review digitalrestorative technologies, some <strong>of</strong> themCAD/CAM, which are now availableto dentists and which will continue totransform the practice <strong>of</strong> dentistry.9

Dr. Ferracane is afounding fellow and Past President <strong>of</strong>the Academy <strong>of</strong> Dental Materials. He isa Past President <strong>of</strong> the Dental MaterialsGroup <strong>of</strong> the International Association forDental Research. He serves on the editorialboard <strong>of</strong> ten journals, and is currentlyan Associate Editor <strong>of</strong> the “Journal <strong>of</strong>Dental Research” and “Odontology.”Dr. Ferracane has authored a textbookentitled “Materials in <strong>Dentistry</strong>:Principles and Applications,” now in itssecond edition. He has published andlectured extensively on dental materials,including dental composites, adhesives,and dental amalgam.Dr. Ferracane’s current <strong>research</strong>interests are in dental composites andthe use <strong>of</strong> bioactive glasses in resin-baseddental materials. He also is activelyinvolved in the establishment andoperation <strong>of</strong> networks designed toconduct clinical <strong>research</strong> in the privatepractice setting. His <strong>research</strong> is fundedby the NIH/NIDCR as well as privateindustry. Dr. Ferracane routinelypresents at the IADR and the Academy<strong>of</strong> Dental Materials annual meetings.He has provided continuing education atannual meetings <strong>of</strong> the American DentalAssociation, <strong>British</strong> Dental Association,California Dental Association, ChicagoMidwinter, Midwest Dental Conference,Oregon Dental Conference, PacificNorthwest Dental Conference, SouthwestDental Conference, Yankee DentalCongress, Korean Academy <strong>of</strong> Pediatric<strong>Dentistry</strong>, and to other pr<strong>of</strong>essionaldental organizations.RESIN COMPOSITES—STATE-OF-THE-ARTThe current state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art <strong>of</strong> dentalcomposites includes a wide variety<strong>of</strong> materials with a broad range <strong>of</strong>mechanical properties, handlingcharacteristics, and esthetic possibilities.There is no one ideal material availableto the clinician, but the commercialmaterials that comprise the currentarmamentarium are <strong>of</strong> high qualityand, when used appropriately, haveproven to deliver excellent clinicaloutcomes <strong>of</strong> adequate longevity. Thishighly competitive market continuesto evolve, with the major emphasis inthe past being to produce materialswith adequate mechanical properties,and high wear resistance and polishretention. The more recent <strong>research</strong> anddevelopment efforts have addressedthe issue <strong>of</strong> polymerization shrinkageand its accompanying stress, whichmay have a deleterious effect on thecomposite–tooth interfacial bond.Current efforts are focused on thedelivery <strong>of</strong> materials with self-adhesiveproperties, as well as those that can beplaced in bulk, thus leading to trulysimplified placement in the mouth. Thispresentation will review the current state<strong>of</strong> dental composites with an eye towardfuture developments and improvements.11
