Dr Tan Hee Hon
MDS (Prosthodontics);
BDS
Dr Tan Hee Hon is a practitioner in the fields of Prosthodontics,
Implant Dentistry and Orofacial Pain.
He earned his BDS from National University of Singapore in
1989 and completed his Prosthodontics Residency Program
in 1995. In 1999, he spent a sabbatical year under another
sponsorship of Health Manpower Development Program for the Study of Orofacial
Pain. After working at the Oral Medicine Department, School of Dentistry, University of
Washington, he returned to National Dental Center and became the Head of Orofacial
Pain Management Program. From 2004 to 2014, he was in full time private practice
at Mount Elizabeth Medical Center. He is appointed to be a trainer for NobelGuide
Concept and Mentor for NobelBiocare Implants educational program in 2005.
Dr Tan maintains his passion for education. His lecture topics include implant
dentistry, prosthodontics, orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorder. In 2014,
his enthusiasm for education and research of prosthodontics and orofacial pain
prompted him to join National University of Singapore, as a full time member of the
Faculty of Dentistry.
Lecture Synopsis: The Crisis - Chronic Pain
How much do we know about chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular
disorders? What is the model of illness and care to adopt when we are managing
chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders? Diagnosis and management
of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders is always puzzling to healthcare
providers. Without a proper working diagnosis, the management of the patient will
be very challenging. This presentation focuses on the interactive factors in explaining
and diagnosing chronic orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorders.

Lecture Synopsis: Factors for clinical success with adhesively
bonded dental composites
This presentation will discuss the clinically relevant factors involved in successful
outcomes with the placement of adhesively bonded dental composites. The current
scientific literature will be reviewed to outline how areas such as case selection,
control of the operative field, adhesive placement, composite selection, dental
composite placement technique, and photopolymerization can affect clinical
outcomes in your dental practice. Dr Kaan Sheung Kin
Dr Kaan is an adjunct senior lecturer in the Department of
Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, National University
of Singapore. He received his BDS from National University
of Singapore and completed his Masters in Science (Medical
Sciences) in Orthodontics at the University of Glasgow in 1988.
In 1991, he became a member in Dental Orthopaedics at the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. In 1993,
he became a Fellow of Academy of Medicine of Singapore
under the Chapter of Dental Surgeons. Since then, Dr Kaan has had tremendous
work experiences as an orthodontics specialist, running his own private specialist
practice.
Lecture Synopsis: Orthodontic management of the special needs
patient
In 1984, I obtained a MOH traineeship in orthodontics. As a trainee based in a polyclinic
run by an orthodontist, I spent a full year working with removable orthodontic
appliances. Making, issuing, activating, repairing and discarding them taught me
much about as to how I could treat many patients cheaply and effectively.
After graduating from the orthodontic course in Glasgow in 1988, I started working
at Government Dental Clinic, SGH. There were great opportunities to treat and learn
from a variety of cases, albeit very “normal” patients. It was also while working in the
government clinic that I had the opportunity to do interceptive orthodontics, growth
modifications, surgical corrections and very importantly, working with pedodontists.
It was only after setting up my own private practice that I had time to push things
further. In 2001, without any special needs training, I started helping out at the
rainbow Centre Dental Clinic in Margaret Drive Special School, treating children with
both physical and mental disabilities. It was before long that I treated my first autistic
orthodontic patient. Since then, through self-taught trial and error, my special needs
patients have been treated with the whole gamut of orthodontic applications, running
the whole gamut of interceptive extractions, removable plates, fixed appliances and
fixed retainers. A systematic management approach to treating the special needs
patient has evolved over the years, working in tandem with the patients, parents,
caregivers, dental assistants, dentists, clinics and bosses.
In this lecture, I will try to show how ordinary or “normal” orthodontic management
of the special needs patient can be.
Dr Hu Shijia
Dr Hu Shijia joined NUS in 2010 as a dental instructor. He
completed his residency and PhD from the University of North
Carolina and returned in 2016 to his alma mater to join the NUS
Faculty of Dentistry as assistant professor. Shijia is a boardcertified pediatric dentist in the American Board of Pediatric
Dentistry and works as a registrar in the NUH dental cluster.
Lecture Synopsis: Early Orthodontic Intervention According to a
Dummy
To treat, not to treat or refer? Often, children present with head-scratching
malocclusions that baffle their primary dentist. Should they be referred to an
orthodontist right away, in 3 years’ time or can they be treated easily by the primary
dentist? Even harder to manage are parents who insists that their children inherited
their spouse’s “bad teeth”! In this talk we shall look at some common malocclusions
that are present in children and adolescents, and discuss possible management
strategies for these conditions according to a dummy.

Lecture Synopsis: The Impact of Smoking on Periodontal and PeriImplant Health and Disease
Recent evidence indicates an increasing prevalence of smoking in Singapore. This
lecture will review current evidence on the effects of smoking on periodontal tissue
health, periodontal treatment outcomes, implant therapy outcomes and long-term
prognosis. This information will help practitioners better educate their patients on
the need for and the benefits of smoking cessation in the context of maintaining
optimal periodontal and periimplant health.
