Keynote speaker unveiled
Registration is now open for the 2017 Scottish Dental Show
One of the UK’s most prominent cosmetic and aesthetic restorative dentists will be presenting the keynote lecture at the sixth annual Scottish Dental Show on 19 and 20 May, 2017.
Dr Christopher Orr, who is a former president and accredited member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, will be opening the show at Braehead Arena on Friday 19 May with two one-hour lectures.
Dr Orr is also a certified member of the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry as well as being a past president of the Odontological Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, a former director of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and former course director for the MSc in Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry at the University of Manchester.
As well as these responsibilities, he was director of credentialing and chairman of accreditation examiners at BACD for several years, and is currently chairman of the judging panel for the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards, the UK dental industry’s aesthetic awards programme.
He teaches through his education company, Advanced Dental Seminars (ADS), in London. He is the sole lecturer for the one-year comprehensive course programme in cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic restorative dentistry for general dentists. This is UK’s most popular course on the subject and booked a year in advance each year. So far, more than 1,200 dentists have completed the programme over the last 13 years. The ADS facility at London Bridge comprises the largest privately-owned, independent postgraduate dental training facility in Europe. In addition, he lectures extensively around the UK and abroad, having been an invited speaker at conferences throughout Europe, North and South America and Asia.
His work has been widely featured in the UK and international press, across radio, television, print and online media. Dr Orr has authored an interactive learning title on Digital Clinical Photography and assisted with the production of a BBC documentary on the science behind cosmetic treatments.
