Spring 2011

Dr K.H. Lee

Dear Fellows & Members,

When I took up the presidency at the end of

November 2010, it was nearly Christmas time and, in

almost a blink of an eye, it is now the first month in

the lunar calendar. Let me wish all of you a peaceful

and prosperous Year of the Rabbit.

I have been serving in the College Council in various

posts since 1993, with only a gap year in 2006, and so

have been witnessing the College going from strength

to strength. This year, we saw Professor Stephen Wei

who is one of our Past Presidents and Dr William

Yung who has served continuously in the College Council for 12 years leaving the Council; and we

saw Dr Katherine Leung and Dr Rony Cho joining the Council as Council Members for the first time.

The College welcomes Dr SK Chan as the new VP (General Affairs & CPD), Dr Edmond Pow as the

new Honorary Secretary, and Dr Robert Ng as the new Censor-in-Chief. Professor Edward Lo and

Dr Alfred Tsang have kindly agreed to remain as VP (Education & Examinations) and as Honorary

Treasurer respectively. I am looking forward to have a close working relationship with all the

Office-bearers and Council Members. Just like in previous years we have, in January, appointed all

the members of our Committees and Specialty Boards for another term. This year the Council has

also formed a new House Committee to help looking after the day to day running of the Secretariat

which currently has 4 full-time staff members.

Last year, we have conducted many Intermediate Examinations jointly with the Royal College of

Surgeons of Edinburgh and admitted 15 new College Members. Exit Examinations were also being

conducted in Endodontics, in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, in Orthodontics and in Paediatric

Dentistry and 9 College Fellows were admitted. These 9 College Fellows were admitted by the

Academy and added to the list of FHKAM (Dental Surgery).

In November 2010 we held a Joint Congress on Implant Dentistry together with the Global Committee

on Osseointegration. Gratitude must be extended to Professor Leung Wai-keung for chairing the Local

Organising Committee and for organizing such a successful and educational event.

In the same month, the College published one piece of important document, Guidelines for the

Provision of Dental Implants. This document spells out the training requirements for the different levels

of implant treatment, information about the various considerations in placing dental implants, the

importance of implant maintenance and documentation as well as the importance of quality assurance.

The previous 3-year CME/CPD cycle stipulated by HKAM has ended at the end of 2010. Starting

from 1 January 2011 there is a new 3-year cycle with a revised set of Principles & Guidelines. The

most up-to-date P&G is made available on the College Website and it could be downloaded for

reference.

Much time and great efforts have been put in by Dr Raymond Lee and his Committee for General

Dentistry in organizing the training and examination for the general dental practitioners. The very first

diet of the MGD Examination has been conducted on 9 January 2011 and it is an important milestone

for the College. Dr Raymond Lees contribution is much appreciated. More detailed report about the

work of the Committee of General Dentistry could be found in another section of this Newsletter.

Those Fellows who attended our Conferment and Annual Dinner would have noticed that the College

has produced some new College Gowns with eye-catching design. I must thank Dr Robert Ng for his

effort in this matter.

Finally I wish you all a very prosperous and healthy 2011.

Dr KH Lee

validating examination questions. We are also delighted to have Prof. Michael Burrow and Prof.

David Manton, who are nominated by the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, as our

external examiners. The Committee of General Dentistry would like to thank the Secretariat for

their hard work to make our very first diet Part I examination smooth and efficient. The Part I

results will be ready by early April. The provisional date for Part II is 15-21 August, 2011. The

Hung (Guest of Honour) and Prof C Hmmerle (President, EAO).

There was around average 200 participants per day part-take this 3-days program. Of them 48 were

themes related to contemporary science and practice in Implant Dentistry and beyond. The local

organizing committee was grateful to industry sponsors namely Geistlich, Henry Schein, Biotech

Dental Ltd., Nobel Biocare Asia Ltd., Advance Dental Consulting Ltd., Healthcare Dental Limited

and Quintessence. The expert help of CDSHK colleagues Ms Lilian Cheung, Ms Rose Chow, Ms Julia

The 2011 Scientific Meeting Committee (SMC) is now actively brainstorming the theme and

speakers for the 2011 Spring Scientific Meeting. We are looking forward to bring to our membership

interesting and useful CPD experience soon. Any ideas and comments are most welcomed.

On behalf of the SMC, I would like to forward our best wishes to all members and fellows a

wonderful year of the Rabbit!
