Spring 2017

Dear Fellows & Members,

It is indeed a great honour to be elected as President of the College for the next

12 months. I must thank my predecessor, Dr S K Chan, who had led the

College in an exemplary fashion for the last 2 years and has passed onto me

an institution in such rude health.

In December last year, the College Council welcomed Dr Raymond Y L Mak,

joining the Council as a new member and the returning Council Members - Dr

Rony S Y Cho, Dr Daniel T S Fang, Dr Katherine C M Leung, Dr Edmond H

N Pow and Dr Ricky W K Wong. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Stanley M L Lai,

who did not stand for re-election last November, for his sterling work as the Chairman of the Scientific

Meetings Committee from 2015-17.

At the College Conferment Ceremony held on 06 November 2016, Honorary Fellowship of our College

was bestowed upon Professor Esmonde F Corbet for his dedication and many contributions to

undergraduate and postgraduate dental educations and specialist training in Hong Kong since 1980.

At the same ceremony, 17 fellows from 7 specialties and 22 members were admitted.

January this year marked the beginning of a new 3-year cycle of the HKAM CME/CPD Programme for

our fellows and MGD members. In response to the HKAM's desire to see all fellows obtaining less

passive CME/CPD points, the maximum number of recognized passive CME/CPD points for our

College fellows is 70 points and for our MGD members, 47 points in this current cycle.

Internationally, we are fully engaged with our sister colleges. Our College and the Royal College of

Surgeons of Edinburgh have organised conjoint Membership/Intermediate examinations for 20 years

for our trainees from 6 specialties. In the Specialty of Community Dentistry, 2 diets of the

MRACDS(DPH)/Intermediate examination with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons

(RACDS) had already taken place. Our relationship with RACDS also involves training and

examination of general dental practitioners via our Membership in General Dentistry programme, which

has been conjoined with the MRACDS (GDP) examination since the 2012-14 diet.

The prime function of the College is the training of dental specialists to cater for the dental needs of the

Hong Kong public. To do so, 8 specialist training pathways have been established since the inception

of the College. We are tasked with the organization and smooth running of these pathways through

the Education and Examination Committee and the respective Specialty Boards. As echoed by my

predecessor, Dr S K Chan, the College also has to maintain the standards of the training programmes.

This is of paramount importance and the College has the prerogative to voice out our concerns, if for

whatever reasons, the standards are likely to be compromised.

Wishing Everyone a Healthy and Happy Year of the Rooster!

Dr Robert P Y Ng

Joint Scientific Meeting, 20-21 November 2016

Last year, our College joint hands with the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong and the

Hong Kong Dental Association in the organization of the 2016 Hong Kong International Symposium

in Peri-implantitis held from 20 to 21 November 2016 at the Prince Philip Dental Hospital.

Three prominent scholars and experts in periodontology and implant dentistry were invited: Professor

Joerg Meyle from Germany, Professor Stefan Renvert from Sweden and Dr Jean-Louis Giovannoli from

France. The one-day symposium on the first day addressed the increasingly challenging issue of peri-

implantitis. Topics included:-

Epidemiology and pathogenesis of peri-implantitis

Can we prevent peri-implantitis? Patient-related factors

What types of patients are more likely to develop peri-implantitis diseases? Patient and site related

risk indicators

Diagnosis & treatment strategy (including early infections, retrograde peri-implantitis)

Initial treatment planning: To keep or remove the implant. Is non-surgical treatment useful?

Implant therapy in periodontitis patients

Soft tissue management around implants

Surgical Therapies I & II: Regenerative approach

Surgical Therapy III: Resective approach

Maintenance, biofilm management and long-term results of peri-implant treatment

Though it was a long day, the symposium was enthusiastically attended by 128 participants.

The half-day hands-on masterclass course in the next morning attracted 41 participants who had also

attended the one-day symposium to acquaint with firsthand experience of implant placement and crater

preparation, surface decontamination and surgical management. It was indeed an exceptional

opportunity for participants to learn and gain valuable knowledge and know-hows from the three

masters in periodontology and implant dentistry.

Spring Scientific Meeting, 21 May 2017

What is one thing in Dentistry that everyone would have experienced, wish someone else who would

have instead, and no one wants to talk about willingly?

Challenges.

Stay tune for the upcoming CDSHK Spring Scientific Meeting. The theme is "Challenges in Dentistry

---- How would we best manage them?"

The presentation will be structured in a way that would appeal to dentists who are not necessarily

specialists in that particular field, with practical tips and hints in handling such cases in the dental office.

The topics range from dealing with Endodontic failure, Periodontal complications, difficulties in Oral

Surgical procedures, to managing the "difficult" patient.

Treating complications is challenging enough. It is equally important to avoid such occurrences with

appropriate assessment and correct diagnosis. The dilemma in dental age assessment in Paedodontics

and "hidden dangers" in Orthodontics will be presented.

So mark your diary on 21st May. More details will follow. As this Spring Scientific Meeting will be

held at Lecture Theatre I, Prince Philip Dental Hospital, there is limited seating. Kindly send in the

form early to avoid disappointment.

CME/CPD Award and Administration

The following changes are applicable to the 2017-2019 cycle which is effective from 1 January 2017.

Self-arranged Study Group

Self-arranged study group in the form of experience sharing for clinical dental cases is accepted as a

form of CME/CPD activity. The size of the group should be kept between 4 and 8 participants. Only

CDSHK Fellow Specialists / MGD Holders / Higher Trainees can gain CME/CPD credits under this

category of activity. Participants must include at least 1 Fellow and at least 3 other participants who

should be the members of the College (i.e. Fellows / MGD Holders / Higher Trainees). Non pre‐

approved organization should seek prior approval from the College. During the conduction of the

activity, rules governing the confidentiality of patient information must be observed.

Submissions of case summaries together with the attendance form are mandatory for consideration of

CME/CPD credits. A maximum of 1 point may be awarded for each activity and study group activities

may be awarded a maximum of 5 points per 3-year cycle for each applicant.

Administration for CDSHK Higher Trainees

Upon recommendation of the Education & Examination Committee, the College Council has resolved

that it is mandatory for Higher Trainees of ALL specialties to obtain a minimum of 30 CME/CPD points

per year so as to fulfil CDSHK Membership requirement and satisfactory annual trainee assessment.

In general, CME/CPD requirement before the exit examination of that year will be counted on a pro-

rata basis up to the end of the month before the final date of application for the exit

examination. However, it will also be subject to the actual requirement of each Specialty.

Every Trainee should keep a record of his/her own CME/CPD activities and should provide evidence

of such activities in order to facilitate the College Secretariat to issue an annual report as part of his/her

Higher Training annual assessment. A standardized table in Excel format will be sent to every trainee

via email for record of such activities. Annual subscription for CDSHK CME/CPD administration

will be waived.

An updated version of the College's Principles and Guidelines on CME and CPD is available at:

http://www.cdshk.org/Forms/CME/CDSHK%20P&G%202017-2019.pdf. If there are any queries on

the CME/CPD programme, please do not hesitate to contact the College Secretariat at 2871 8732 or

email to [email protected].

HKAM Council Dinner with Distinguished Young Fellows

Since 2013, the Academy Council has initiated a dinner gathering with distinguished young fellows

from constituent Colleges so to recognize their achievements and give an opportunity for them to meet

and share their experiences with HKAM’s Council Members and distinguished young fellows of sister

Colleges.

Each College is invited to nominate 1 or 2 distinguished individuals who are (according to priority):

1. Young Fellows (who have obtained their fellowship within 5 years); or

2. Potential Fellows who are still trainees at the moment.

Each year, the College Council invites every specialty board to make one nomination, if any. The major

selection criteria are based on the nominee’s achievements and contributions to his/her respective

specialty. Among all the nominees, the College Council selects one or two Fellows/Trainees to attend

the dinner.

In the past years, the following nominees had taken part in this meaningful occasion:-

1. Dr CHOI Wing Shan, Winnie (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery), 2013

2. Dr HO King Lun, Dominic (Periodontology), 2013

3. Dr WAN Kong Yuk Annie (Prosthodontics), 2014

4. Dr TSE Chee Choong Micheal (Endodontics), 2015

5. Dr LEE Hui Cheng, Angeline (Endodontics), 2016

6. Dr LEE Hiu Man Gillian (Paediatric Dentistry), 2016

Specialty Education and Training Development Fund (SETDF)

The aim of the Specialty Education and Training Development Fund (SETDF) is to encourage Specialty

Boards and the Committee in General Dentistry (CGD) to organize or conduct education and training

activities for trainees, fellows, members, and/or trainers.

The second 2-year cycle of application for the SETDF had started in April 2016, and a maximum

accumulative amount of HKD30,000 will be allocated to each specialty/CGD. So far, the Specialty

Boards in Community Dentistry, Endodontics, Periodontology and Prosthodontics had organized their

first functions under this fund on 26 April 2016, 14 July 2016, 10 October 2014 and 3 July 2015

respectively.

The specialty boards give positive feedback and view that the fund provides an opportunity to nurture

trainer-trainee relationship which is essential for building a stronger team of trainers as well as

encouraging trainees along the road to becoming a specialist.

Towards the close of the funding application, the College Council will look into the possibility of

extending the period of provision for the SETDF and will keep the Specialty Board/CGD Chairmen

updated.

CDSHK Scholarship

The College of Dental Surgeons of Hong Kong Scholarship (“Scholarship”) has been set up to support

Fellows admitted in or after the year 2012 and higher trainees in our specialist training pathways to

participate in overseas training. Preference will be given to young Fellows, i.e. those who are admitted

within the previous 5 years.

The maximum amount of the Scholarship will be HK$50,000 for the year 2017. The training

programme will be self-arranged for duration of not more than 8 weeks and needs prior approval by the

College Council. The Scholarship cannot be held in conjunction with any other award, grant or

sponsorship that will give financial support for the same training.

Successful applicants will be required to write reflections about their training which will be published

in the College Publication and they may be required to participate in some College activities in the

subsequent year, for example, representing the College in some promotion functions, etc.

Application forms and details of the Scholarship can be obtained at our website at <www.cdshk.org>.

Deadline for application is 31 July 2017.
