  Top 10 drug interaction dentists should know

  Presenter: Adj /Assoc Prof. Geraldine Moses AM BPharm DClinPharm Adv.Prac.Pharm

  Drug-drug interactions occur when the actions or concentrations of drugs are altered by another drug. Often ignored, drug interactions are an important source of concern by causing adverse reactions, reduced drug efficacy, misdiagnosis, increased hospital admissions, and longer length of stay.  Despite this, most drug interactions should not occur since they are predictable and therefore preventable.  Drug interactions are not all bad though. They can be beneficial when synergistic drug combinations improve efficacy or elevate serum concentrations saving drug costs! So why do we ignore drug interactions? There are several reasons:  Ignorance is bliss- it's easier not to go there. Secondly, inadequate training, we don't know where to start. Thirdly, we don't take them seriously, and finally we rely on memory or computers to prompt us when to act.  So let's start by addressing the Top 10 drug interactions.

• APS NSW Dinner Meeting - Tying the Old and New: The Role of Digital Dentistry in Removable Prosthodontics

  Tying the Old and New: The Role of Digital Dentistry in Removable Prosthodontics

  Dr Sravan Chunduru – Prosthodontist

  BDS (Adel), MRACDS (Pros), DClinDent(Pros)

  In this presentation Sravan would like to share to the profession the ways digital dentistry has been incorporated into his specialist clinical practice. Although not an early adopter, Sravan aims to keep abreast of and tinker with different ways to incorporate digital dentistry into daily practice for fixed, removable and implant prosthodontics.

  The overall aim is to make things either simplified or more predictable and hopefully spark discussion on what can be useful in your own practices.

  
  

  Sravan qualified as a dentist in Adelaide and spent several years working in rural Victoria in which he gained an appreciation for managing patients with failing dentitions and complex restorative needs. It is with this experience he completed a specialisation in prosthodontics at the University of Sydney to expand his knowledge and experience in advanced restorative treatment of worn, failing or missing teeth. Since then, he has practiced in Sydney and Adelaide for many years in public hospital, private and university settings.

  Sravan has also been regularly involved in the APS as Treasurer for the NSW and SA Branches. He is now the President of APS Federal. 

  Sravan started private practice in the Adelaide CBD since 2018 and works at the Adelaide Dental Hospital part time as a visiting specialist prosthodontist and is regularly involved as a clinical tutor and educator for dental students over the years.

  This is a great opportunity to meet colleagues and network. Thank you for supporting the APS and I am looking forward to welcoming you from 6:30pm, Monday, 16th March 2026 in the Press Room at the Paradox Hotel, Sydney.

  Current financial members of the APS NSW are invited to attend the dinner meeting at no additional cost.

  Dinner-meeting

  Prosthodontics Beyond the Ordinary: Applying Conventional Principles to Unconventional Cases

  Join Dr Chen Chen and Dr Anny Huang, both maxillofacial prosthodontists, for an engaging, case-based session exploring the application of familiar prosthodontic principles to non-conventional maxillary and mandibular rehabilitation. Through a series of short, focused case presentations, they will demonstrate how core prosthodontic concepts and design can guide treatment planning across a wide range of complex clinical scenarios—including complete edentulism, hemi-maxillary defects, open versus closed designs, and fixed versus removable options, even when implants are limited or not feasible.

  This session aims to encourage discussion around decision-making, and reinforce transferable principles, as well as provide clinically applicable insights, relevant to both general dentists and specialist Prosthodontists.

  

  Dr Anny Huang completed her dental degree at Griffith University and specialist training in Prosthodontics at the University of Melbourne. She is currently undertaking a Maxillofacial Prosthodontic Fellowship at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, where she is involved in the rehabilitation of patients with complex maxillofacial defects following head and neck cancer treatment.

  Dr Huang enjoys integrating digital workflows with conventional analogue techniques to deliver functional, aesthetic, and patient-centred outcomes, particularly in non-conventional clinical scenarios with anatomical, surgical, or implant-related limitations.

  

  Dr Chen Chen is an Australian-registered Specialist Prosthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. She completed her dental degree at the University of Queensland in 2008 and initially worked with the Royal Flying Doctors Service in Cape York. In 2015, she completed the Implant Grad Dip at the University of Melbourne.

  After some more years in private practice, she moved to America to complete a three- year Advance

  d Prosthodontics residency at USC and then a Fellowship in Maxillofacial Prosthetics at UCLA.

  In addition to private practice, Chen lectures and supervises postgraduate residents in Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics at the University of Melbourne and collaborates with the OMFS team at Geelong University Hospital in the rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients.
