Excited to see my latest article in the October 2021 edition of the NSW Dentist magazine of the Australian Dental Association. The problem of loose or fractured implant components is a problem that every implant clinician encounters at least once during their career.
ADA NSW CPD and ITI Foundation Implant Dentistry Program
For the past 2 years, Dr Robert Santosa has been coordinating the ADA NSW CPD and ITI Foundation Implant Dentistry program. This is a part of our practice's philosophy of giving back to our profession by providing quality dental education for our dental colleagues.
This foundation level program is intended for dental practitioners wishing to develop their theoretical knowledge and practical clinical experience in the treatment planning, surgical placement, restoration and maintenance of dental implants.
Knowledge is developed using distance learning modules and study days with hands-on components. This course is a clinical, multi-system, dental implant course which will enable the participants to make informed evidence-based decisions in their day to day dental implant practice and will train participants to understand the surgical and restore phases of dental implants therapy.
The modules consist of blended online learning platform based on an internationally recognised curriculum, live lectures to consolidate the online materials and a hands-on practical component. The importance of the restorative dentist and a restoratively driven treatment plan in dental implant therapy is emphasised.

Meeting in Switzerland
Dr Robert Santosa went to Switzerland last week for several days. Unfortunately, it was neither for fun nor a holiday. He attended an International Team for Implantology Digital Task Force meeting and ITI Online Academy Editorial Board meeting in Zurich.
As specialist dental clinicians, the dentists in Macquarie Central Prosthodontics are not just passionate for providing the best dental care for our patients. We also passionate in dental education, inspiring our dental colleagues to be the best they can be professionally and personally.
Robert managed to find a couple of days after the meeting hiking the Eiger Trail and trying to burn off calories from eating chocolates. He posted some photos of his hike on Instagram.

What's in toothpaste?
What's in toothpaste? National Geographic's chemist George Zaidan tries to create his own homemade toothpaste. Ancient toothpaste used stuff like rocks and bones -- and modern toothpaste isn’t all that different.
