The ADA is committed to delivering professional development activities that can be used as part of our member's professional development plans.
Through our monthly branch meetings we provide opportunities for members to develop their learning, stimulate their thinking, enhance their skills and engage with like-minded peers to share ideas and techniques. We understand that we all have varied dental interests and learning styles. We endeavour to cater to all of our members in terms of their experience, level of knowledge and time commitments.

A REMINDER TO MEMBERS THAT THIS MEETING IS BEING HELD AT NZDA HOUSE, 1/195 MAIN HIGHWAY, ELLERSLIE.
Dental ceramics have developed rapidly over the last 20 years. The traditional PFM and gold crown are under threat from a variety of all ceramic materials. This presentation will look at where we have come from, overview the science of the new materials available to the clinician and provide a summary of the current protocols when placing contemporary ceramic restorations.
Learning outcomes
- Overview of common contemporary dental ceramics
- Advantages and limitations of each type of ceramic material

October 2023 Branch Meeting - The Ortho-Perio Interface
A reminder to ADA members, this meeting will be held at Remuera Golf Club.
Drs Mo Al-Dujaili, Azza Al-Ani, James Dawson and Poppy Horne present "The Ortho-Perio Interface".
The talk will give an overview of interactions that exist between these two disciplines. Commonly when a clinician sees adult patients, difficult clinical situations present where both the periodontium and underlying malocclusions pose complex presentations that require a multidisciplinary approach to maximise the treatment outcomes.
The relationships between teeth alignment and the periodontium will be explored, with a mixture of an evidence-based approach and clinical case presentations from both the perspective of periodontists and orthodontists.
Learning outcomes:
- Enable a clinician to recognise the interactions between orthodontics and periodontics.
- Appreciate the importance of early diagnosis.
- Encourage a multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning and execution.
- Appraise clinical cases and the evidence that can influence clinical decisions.
