  Psychological Screening in Cosmetic Dentistry: Understanding the New AHPRA Requirements

  We are pleased to invite the members of Dental Societies and Guests to join us for an informative and practical lecture on the new AHPRA guidelines come into effect in 2025, which introduce mandatory psychological screening for patients undergoing cosmetic dental procedures.

  Prosthodontists routinely manage highly aesthetic, appearance-driven and complex cases — from veneers and crowns to full-mouth rehabilitation. With the new guidelines placing greater responsibility on clinicians to assess patient motivations, expectations, and psychological suitability, this topic is directly relevant to all of us. For this reason alone, this lecture is not to be missed.

  To be discussed:

  • What the new AHPRA psychological screening requirements mean for dentists
  • How to conduct a holistic assessment of patients’ motivations and expectations
  • How to recognise and screen for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
  • Practical screening questionnaires and assessment tools
  • When and how to refer patients to independent psychologists or psychiatrists
  • Documentation tips to support compliance
  • Special considerations for patients under 18, including cooling-off periods, BDD screening, and parental involvement

  Dr Toni Pikoos, BSc (Hons), PhD (Clinical Psychology), MAPS

  

  Dr Toni Pikoos is an accomplished clinical psychologist, researcher and public speaker. She has a PhD in the intersection of cosmetic procedures, mental health, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and patient satisfaction.

  Toni is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Swinburne University and also a practicing clinical psychologist in Melbourne, specialising in BDD and psychological evaluations for patients undergoing cosmetic surgery and non-surgical procedures. Toni is a sought-after speaker and educator, being invited to many national and international conferences to present on BDD and the intersection of psychology and cosmetic procedures.

  Dr Pikoos has been involved in advocacy and consulting work to increase psychological safety in the cosmetic industry through her research and consulting with large companies such as Merz Aesthetics and Allergan Aesthetics, among others. She was also involved as a psychological consultant in the AHPRA review into patient safety in the Australian cosmetic industry.

  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.

  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.
