President’s Report
Dr Gavin Cho President
After attending a thoroughly enjoyable NZDA Conference in Auckland last year, I am really looking forward to another great NZDA Conference but this time on our home turf. While the conference is held early in the week (Monday 29 - Wednesday 31 July) compared to typically later in the week (due to Wellington’s shortage of conference venues and available dates), there’s the benefit of not having our valuable weekends shortened by conference lectures!
We have a significant number of local presenters contributing to the academic content, and Wellington’s craft beer and local music talent will feature on the two social evenings.
There will be a number of Wellington submissions for the NZDA awards so make sure that that you and your better halves come along for a great night out at Te Papa in support of our nominees.
It would be great to be able to demonstrate the unity within the Wellington Branch by our attendance and support by all dentists and dental practice staff to this years conference! Go onto the NZDA website and make sure you register before the Early Bird cut off date of 3rd June.
Our line up of excellent monthly branch meeting presentations continues following last months delivery by Dr Teekayu Jorns who provided us with an insight as Oro-facial Lead Consultant of a multi-disciplinary centre for the management of Oro-facial Pain in Northern Thailand. He has offered his slides to the branch which will be added to our website. Thanks to Jo Ferguson for making this happen.
This month, we are having our branch meeting in Lower Hutt so we expect to see more Hutt Valley colleagues at the pre-dinner drinks (which is kindly sponsored by Dentsply) and also for dinner. I’m told that we will see a full line up of our five local Periodontists so we are in for a treat!
We invite all hygienists and oral health therapists to this meeting.

Discussion then moved to the need for a presenter for the July Branch meeting and the preference of NZDA that Branch meetings do not impact members around the time of Conference it was confirmed and agreed with Sarah Ting that she would present at the July meeting we would have no Branch meeting in August and the new Grads would move to October.
Rules of the Wellington BranchDr Hitchings as reported earlier had reviewed the “Rules of the Branch” and had initially identified some specific areas that should be updated and following discussion it was agreed that these and any other areas that either Dr McKelvey or Dr Hitchings identify as being in need of change should be sent to Dr Excell so he can take to NZDA to confirm there was no objection it should be circulated again to the Committee then to the Branch for ratification.

Diagnosis & Management of Non-Odontogenic Pain
By: A/Prof Teekayu P Jorns
A/Prof Jorns came and talked to the branch about the diagnosis and management of non-odontogenic pain. A/Prof Jorns began his presentation talking about the classification of orofacial pain and temporomandibular disorder (TMD). He discussed the aetiology and epidemiology of TMD.
The RDC-TMD is a diagnostic criteria for research and clinical purposes. It uses two axis for TMD – Axis I (patients with masticatory muscle pain with or without limitation of mouth opening; patients with internal derangement of the TMJ; patients with arthralgia, ostearthritis, and osteoarthrosis) and Axis II (TMD related – pain, parafunctional behaviours, psychological distress and psychosocial dysfunction).
Occlusion is no longer considered a primary factor in the multi-factorial nature of TMDs. Malocclusion may be a consequence of TMD rather than a cause. Management strategies of TMD follows a biopsychosocial model. A/Prof Jorns then went through the evidence behind various management strategies.
A/Prof Jorns then discussed the diagnostic criteria and mangagement for trigeminal neuralgia. The 2004 diagnostic criteria for trigeminal neuralgia by the International Headache Society (IHS) as:
• Paroxysmal attacks of pain (fraction of a second to 2 minutes)
• Pain has at least one of the following characteristics » Intense, sharp, superficial or stabbing » Precipitated from trigger areas by trigger factors
Summary of the May Speaker
June 2019
• Attacks are stereotyped
• No clinically evident neurological deficit
• Not attributed to another disorder
A/Prof Jorns has kindly provided the branch with a copy of his presentation, this will be on the branch website.
His take home messages were:
• Chronic orofacial pain – mostly can’t be cured.
• Chronic pain is managed all the same – no matter where the pain is
• Rule out the cause of pain – correct diagnosis!
• Use evidence-based management
• Use multidisciplinary non-invasive and reversible therapy
• Always looks at the psychosocial side of patient.
