She is currently Head of the Unit of Oral Health, Dentistry and Society in the School of Clinical Dentistry which incorporates paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, primary dental care and dental public health. She is Editor-in-Chief of the international flagship journal Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology; the first social scientist to become Editor of a Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine journal. She is Past President of the Behavioural, Epidemiologic, and Health Services Research group of the IADR, and has received many international awards for her contributions to social and behavioural sciences in dentistry. These include the prestigious 2018 International Association of Dental Research, Distinguished Scientist Award for Behavioural, Epidemiological and Health Services Research, and the 2013, 2016 and 2022 IADR Giddon Award for Distinguished Research in the Behavioural Sciences. She has an Honorary Professorship at University College London, and holds an Honorary post in the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (formerly Public Health England). She has authored 250 peer-reviewed publications, and been awarded over £8.5 million in research and consultancy income. She was a co-author on the recently published "Consensus Statement on Future Directions for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in Oral Health" published in the Journal of Dental Research (JDR), which highlights the current state of knowledge in the behavioural and social oral health sciences and identifies future directions for the field. Her central research interest is the examination of the psychological, social and behavioural factors which influence how individual’s experience oral health conditions. Understanding the role of such psychosocial factors allows her to explore potential mechanisms by which oral health impacts on an individual's quality of life and well-being and, in turn, develop, implement and evaluate intervention strategies to improve oral health both within clinical practice and for public health dentistry. She has collaborated with dental researchers around the world on a diverse range of projects from gum health, oral health inequalities, dentine hypersensitivity, dry mouth, dental caries, head and neck cancer, gerodontology, orthodontics, dental anxiety, to systems science and implementation of evidence-based care.
Summary of presentation:
The social and behavioural sciences are central to understanding and addressing dental, oral, and craniofacial health, diseases, and conditions, and are relevant to every discipline in dentistry. This presentation will highlight some of the ways in which the knowledge, methods and theories from social and behavioural sciences can help advance our understanding in oral health and has the potential to deliver more effective strategies for the complex challenges we face in dentistry. Many of these big challenges or Wicked Problems are multi-component in nature and too intractable to be managed or solved by working within traditional disciplinary boundaries. This talk will outline where we are currently, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Summary of presentation:
Periodontal diseases are characterised by chronic inflammation and can be classified into different clinical stages which are associated with transitions in plaque microbial diversity and signatures in composition. The transition from health to gingivitis is associated with a build up of plaque at the gingival margin resulting in inflammation, an increase in microbial diversity and soft tissue swelling to form a pocket. The environment of the pocket, which can become anaerobic, may allow the emergence of Gram-negative anaerobes and a further increase in inflammation and microbial diversity. The emergence of the Gram-negative anaerobes in a susceptible host and suitable pocket can lead to a state of dysbiosis, where the consortium of microbes in the periodontal pocket becomes pathogenic, with a transition from gingivitis to periodontitis involving destruction of the tooth’s supporting tissues. As periodontitis progresses from the early to late-stage disease the microbial diversity, particularly at the base of the periodontal pocket, can collapse to a smaller consortium of pathogenic species more typical of an infection. Detailed examination of this pathogenic consortium has revealed they are functionally congruent with their requirement for haem/Fe for virulence and the similar protein systems they possess for haem capture. Although overall these proteins have diverged in these different species they exhibit similar amino acid sequences around functional active sites, suggesting that they may represent a common therapeutic target. Using this as an approach, a chimera recombinant vaccine has been generated that induces antibodies that cross-react with these virulence proteins from a range of species e.g. Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Prevotella intermedia and Treponema denticola. The chimera vaccine has been shown to prevent progression of periodontal disease in rodents and non-human primates by lowering the level of the pathogenic consortium and promoting the re-emergence of commensal species to promote homeostasis. In a recent human clinical trial using a saliva biomimetic, which has been shown previously to increase the level of plaque commensal/beneficial bacteria, the biomimetic significantly reduced gingival inflammation in a dose-dependent relationship. This reduction in gingival inflammation at a site level was closely associated with an increase in commensal species, particularly those known to be antagonistic to the periodontal pathogens and to suppress inflammation and induce mucosal tolerance. In conclusion, modulating plaque microbial composition by targeting pathogen virulence factors and/or by increasing the fitness of commensal/beneficial bacteria can improve mucosal homeostasis and periodontal health.
Professor Rachel Waddington
Oral Biochemistry
Cardiff University, UK
The title of presentation:
Reading the signals: Harnessing the capabilities of dental extracellular vesicles for regenerative medicine.
Short bio:
Professor Rachel Waddington is a Professor in Oral Biochemistry and the current President for the British Society for Oral and Dental Research within the IADR. With more than 35 years’ experience, her research has a particular focus for understanding the role of the extracellular matrix environment in regulating the biology and differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells during bone and dentine repair; research that aims to be translational for provoking clinical benefit. She has authored 100+ peer-reviewed publications, book chapters and 200+ conference abstracts and co-edited 1 academic book reviewing current strategies for tissue engineering and regeneration in dentistry. She has successfully received grant funding from UK research councils, Wellcome Trust, Welsh government, EU, charity and industrial sources. This academic background supports a teaching excellence for undergraduate and postgraduates and she is program director for an MSc in Oral Biology.
Summary of presentation:
Mesenchymal stromal cells have for a long time been a focus for tissue regeneration throughout the body, however their success rates for incorporating into cell-based therapies remains unpredictable, where research estimates that only 3-10% of cells survive transplantation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by these cells, are now increasingly being recognised as important protected signalling entities, with potential beneficial roles for promoting successful wound healing processes. Consequently, there has been much increasing excitement for the incorporation of EVs into tissue regeneration therapies. However, research is very much in its infancy and many questions need to be addressed if we are to produce productive lines of enquiry to successfully harness the signalling potential of EVs for the delivery of effective reproducible therapies.

Dr Lorraine O’Reilly
Senior Scientist
WEHI – Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne
The title of presentation:
Advancing early diagnostic and treatment strategies for oral cancer using in vivo models.
Short bio:
Dr O’ Reilly studied immunology at the University of Glasgow and completed her PhD in the Department of Immunology at University College London. Following post-doctoral training at the University of Cambridge, England, she joined the Walter and Eliza Institute of Medical Research as a Wellcome Trust Fellow with Prof. Andreas Strasser in the Molecular Genetics of Cancer Division. During this time, she established the role of membrane and soluble FasL in apoptotic cell death and inflammation.
Currently Dr O’Reilly is based within the inflammation Division at WEHI, where her research program is focused on inflammation-associated cancers, in particular understanding the relationship between cytokines, the inflammatory signalling pathways; JAK/STAT and NF-kB in upper gastrointestinal cancers (oral, oesophageal, gastric) onset and progression. Her recent research showed that NF-kB1 and the cytokine TNF are critical regulators of gastric homeostasis and tumourigenesis. Current research is focussed on improving the early detection of oral cancer with a new approach using cancer detecting fluorescent imaging agents coupled with real time virtual 3-D biopsies in pre-clinical models to ultimately improve clinical outcomes.
Summary of presentation:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers globally, with a current five-year survival of ~50%. If progressive premalignant lesions can be detected early and in-situ, patients can be given less aggressive treatment, resulting in a more favourable prognosis. We are pioneering a new approach for accurate early OSCC screening. Since OSCC grows at the epithelial surface, it permits visual inspection and is readily accessible to novel non-invasive imaging technology, such as the OptiScan (ViewnVivo), a miniaturized handheld point-scanning confocal endomicroscope. The OptiScan coupled with a topically applied cancer tracer, allows us to non-invasively monitor tumorigenesis (virtual biopsy). This permits observation of the stages of cancer development with the quality of conventional pathology, but without the need for a surgical biopsy, providing high resolution at the single cell level to discriminate between oral tumour and non-tumour lesions.
Our studies focus on a murine model of OSCC that affects mainly the tongue and oral buccal mucosa, induced by chronic oral administration of the carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO). Our work has shown that the OptiScan is assisting diagnosis, to enable instantaneous, single cell resolution of the oral cavity in live mice, determining which tumour types can be detected. Learning from this model will have immediate translative implications on precision diagnostics in parallel with in vivo human studies.
Using genetic mouse models, coupled with 4-NQO administration, inflammatory parameters that affect human OSCC tumour development (immune cells and cytokines), have been manipulated to assess their involvement. These will be discussed as a rationale for future therapeutic manipulation of these pathways for OSCC.

COVIDSafe plans
-
Face masks
The University continues to follow Victorian public health orders for face masks. You must carry a face mask at all times and wear one as required under current COVIDSafe Settings.
The Victorian Department of Health strongly recommends wearing a mask indoors and whenever you cannot physically distance. The University encourages everyone to follow this advice to help reduce the transmission of airborne viruses.
In addition, the University’s expectation is that, through to the end of winter, students and staff will wear masks when in classroom settings, except where removing a mask is necessary for clear communication or when a particular activity requires the removal of a mask (all existing exemptions continue to apply).
-
Cleaning and sanitising
The University has implemented enhanced infection control and cleaning measures across all facilities, including:
- More frequent cleaning and disinfection by professional cleaning staff
- Self-service infection control measures, such as 2500+ touch-free hand sanitiser dispensers and 3000+ alcohol wipe dispensers
- Additional deep cleaning, disinfection and site closures as needed in response to a confirmed case of COVID-19
-
Physical distancing
- People are encouraged wherever possible to maintain a physical distance of 1.5m between themselves and others
- Indoor spaces have been reconfigured and plexiglass barriers installed in some service areas to facilitate physical distancing
- Signage and floor decals provide reminders for people to maintain physical distance of 1.5m where possible
- Wearing a face mask is strongly recommended whenever you cannot maintain a physical distance of 1.5m between yourself and others
-
Ventilation
The University has reviewed buildings for adequacy of ventilation capacity and introduced a variety of measures to reduce the risk of indoor transmission of COVID-19, including:
- Increasing ventilation by mechanical or natural means where necessary
- Where the system is unable to ensure to adequate air intake and exchange, other mitigations, such as portable air purifiers have been deployed
- Real-time monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels as a proxy to evaluate airborne virus risk and adequate fresh air supply – monitors have been installed in teaching spaces and some other spaces to actively monitor air quality
- Encouraging greater use of outdoor spaces

We have gathered together a diverse collection of symposia that address progress and invite discussion on a broad range of important topics in oral health research. The presenters are amongst the best oral health researchers and communicators in our region. We guarantee you will find these symposia informative, thought provoking and stimulating.
Symposium Listing - 26th September - Monday
-
Symposium 1 - Improving Oral Health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
Chair: Prof. Julie Satur
The history of colonisation, racism and systemic inequality have led to poor oral health outcomes for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This symposium will explore approaches to improving oral health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people that move away from victim blaming and towards systemic and health promoting methods that hero self-determination and cultural expertise. This symposium will present approaches that include culturally located research, participatory public health interventions, practitioner skill development and policy supports to generate discussion among experts and allies to inform this important population oral health challenge.
Speakers
- Dr Joanne Hedges- Best practice oral health for Research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people- doing culturally located research
- Dr John Skinner and Poche OH team- Scaling Up School-based Fluoride Varnish Programmes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children in Australia
- Prof Julie Satur, Dr Cathryn Forsyth, Ms Joanne Bolton – A National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dental Cultural Safety Curriculum
- Dr Chris Bourke- Policy supports to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Oral Health
-
Symposium 2 - Scientific Advances in Regenerative Approaches to Dentistry and Bioactive Materials
Chairs: Professor Alastair J Sloan
Co-Chair: Dr Rachael Moses
Dentistry has previously focused on restorative approaches, improving oral health and function. Regenerative dentistry combines these restorative procedures with advances in tissue engineering and materials science to restore damaged tissue. A variety of tissue engineering applications have been used in regenerative dentistry, including biomaterials, scaffolds, genes, stem cells and growth factors. These approaches contribute towards translating regenerative dentistry from the laboratory to the clinic.
Speakers:
- Microfluidic Biofabrication Strategies to Emulate Host-Material and Host-Microbiome Interactions in Dental and Periodontal Disease Dr. Sriram Gopu. National University of Singapore.
- Additive manufacturing for regenerative dentistry – application in vertical bone augmentation and periodontal regeneration. Dr Cedryck Vaquette University of Queensland.
- Prof Vesna Miletic University of Sydney.
Professor Alastair J Sloan University of Melbourne
-
Symposium 3 - Integrating oral health into general health. A call to action
Chairs: Associate Professor Rachel Martin & Professor Woosung Sohn
Globally, the traditional surgical approach of managing oral diseases has failed to reduce the disease burden, not least because of its failure to address the multitude of societal issues that impact on oral health and the complex dynamics involved at a population level. A paradigm shift towards a primary health care approach – designed to position oral health as part of general health and vice versa – is required to address the individual, social and economic burdens associated with oral diseases.
Australia’s Network for the Integration of Oral Health, dedicated to this social change, brings together thought leaders in this symposium. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of integration through examples of evidence-based work in reorienting the workforce and developing people-centred strategies across the life course.
Speakers:
- A/Prof Rachel Martin – Setting the scene for integrating oral health into general health
- Dr Nicolas Clark. Injecting drug users and oral health care.
- Dr Bradley Christian & Dr Meng Wong Taing. Role of Pharmacists in Oral Health Care.
- Adjunct A/Prof Ioan Jones. Pre-service clinical training.
- Prof Ajesh George & Prof Hanny Calache. Effective Strategies for Oral Health Integration.
-
Symposium 4 - An update of caries risk assessment and management
Chair: Rahena Akhter
Summary:
The aim of this session is to provide an overview of the caries diagnostic methods, on presenting the links between caries diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions and their effect on the treatment outcomes. The Caries Management System (CMS) comprises a set of protocols covering risk assessment, diagnosis, risk management, monitoring, and recall that bring together evidence based caries preventive methods in a systematic framework. It specifies how they should be delivered to patients who are at different levels of caries risk. Treatment set out in the protocols is risk-specific; therefore, each patient’s caries risk must be determined at the outset. The Caries management focus is on the management of patient behavior change (oral hygiene coaching, selection of healthy diet components, and encouragement to restrict between-meal exposures to sugar-containing foods and beverages) and the nonsurgical clinical treatment of noncavitated lesions.
Speakers:
- Stuart Dashper. Caries risk prediction of early childhood caries
- May Lei Mei. The use of bioactive materials in caries management
- Mani Ekambaram. Contemporary caries management in children
- Robert Anthonappa. Caries Risk Assessment in Children - how accurate are we?
- Rahena Akhter. Caries detection and management in adults in public hospitals

Symposium 5 - Metagenomics to medication: antibiotics in dental practice
Chair: Dr Leanne Teoh
Co-chair: Dr Alex Park
Dental antibiotic prescribing accounts for 10% of all prescribed antibiotics worldwide, but up to 80% are inappropriate. This symposium will cover the topic of antimicrobial resistance, spanning from the microscopic to broader public health concerns. Presentations will include genetic surveillance of the reservoir of resistance in the oral cavity, knowledge gap in antibiotic prescribing in Australian student populations, prescribing choices of dental practitioners, and antibiotic prescription rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drugs4dent®, a novel clinical decision tool that assists dentists with both prescribing and drug knowledge, will be presented. This symposium will highlight inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics, factors that influence prescribing, and dentistry's role in tackling antimicrobial resistance.
Speakers:
- The Oral Resistome in Childhood
Dr Smitha Sukumar (University of Sydney, Sydney Dental School and Charles Perkins Centre)
- Australian dental students' pharmacotherapeutics knowledge in antibiotic prophylaxis
Dr Alex Park (University of Western Australia, UWA Dental School)
- Dental Antibiotic Prescribing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Dr Mustafa Mian (Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria)

Dr Leanne Teoh (University of Melbourne, Melbourne Dental School)
- The Oral Resistome in Childhood
-
Symposium 6 - Generating policy relevant evidence on social inequalities in oral health
Chair: Dr Ankur Singh (University of Melbourne) and Dr Ghazaleh Dashti
Social inequalities in oral health outcomes in Australia and internationally are well documented. The evidence on social inequalities in oral health outcomes is largely descriptive which can establish the problem but falls short of providing clear policy solutions to policymakers. Theoretical evidence on pathways from social disadvantage to oral health have capacity to inform interventions but studies addressing this question are largely cross-sectional and suffer from bias. In this symposium, we will bring together experts from population oral health and epidemiology who have expertise in causal methods and thinking to discuss opportunities for applying innovative causal methods on longitudinal datasets to improve evidence on interventions to reduce social inequalities in oral health.
Speakers:
- Professor Woosung Sohn (University of Sydney)
- Professor Linda Slack-Smith (University of Western Australia)
- Dr Ankur Singh (University of Melbourne)
- Dr Dandara Haag (University of Adelaide)
- Dr Shalika Hegde (Dental Health Services Victoria)
-
Symposium 7 - Oral health messages for the Australian Public: Update 2022
Chair: Dr Mihiri Silva
Co-Chair: Dr Mikaela Chinotti
A focused and strategic approach to oral health promotion is required to deliver consistent, evidence-based oral health messages across different states and sectors. In 2009, a consensus statement on oral health messages for the Australian public was produced. Since then, the evidence base underpinning oral health promotion in Australia has grown. The Melbourne Dental School at the University of Melbourne and the Australian Dental Association will lead a collaborative expert working group to update the Oral Health Messages for the Australian Public. The symposium will feature the following four speakers:
- “The oral health of the Australian public - where are we now?”
Professor Loc Do (The University of Queensland)
- “Sugar and diet: Messages for the public”
Professor Paula Moynihan (The University of Adelaide)
- “Oral hygiene: Messages for the public”
Professor Janet Wallace (The University of Sydney) (To be confirmed)
- “Update of the Oral Health Messages for the Australian Public: Outline and findings from literature review”
Dr Rachelle Welti (The University of Melbourne)
- “The oral health of the Australian public - where are we now?”
Symposium Listing - 28th September - Wednesday

Symposium 8 - Education Research: From Theory to Practice
Chair: Dr Samantha Byrne
Scholarly teaching grounds our practice in theory that is applied clinically in practice and is enhanced by critical reflection. This symposium will explore critically reflective approaches to the design and evaluation of learning resources, activities, and assessment. Presenters will discuss how their varied approaches to scholarly teaching support students to develop knowledge and skills whilst also developing as learners and reflective practitioners.
This symposium will be followed by a workshop on designing an education research project from 12.30 – 1.30. Participant are invited to bring along a research problem they wish to explore and workshop their project over lunch. Please contact Samantha Byrne sbyrne@unimelb.edu.au for more information and to access the pre-workshop materials.

Symposium 9 - Prevention of oral diseases must commence in early childhood
Chair: Prof Loc Do
Recent research has suggested that the roots of chronic conditions such as dental caries can be traced back to early life. Children’s dietary patterns and oral health behaviours are formed during this period, being strongly influenced by their family circumstances and environment. The newly erupted primary teeth are exposed to and affected by multitude of risk and protective factors operating at different levels across those early years. Understanding the nature, timing and magnitude of those effects can inform timely preventive measures. However, effects of early life determinants of child dental caries experience have not been fully investigated. This Symposium brings together evidence of four most comprehensive birth cohort studies in Australia to shed light on this important period.
Speakers:
- Dr Mihiri Silva, Melbourne Dental School.
Determinants of Early Childhood Caries - the Infant2Child birth cohort study.
- A/Prof Santosh Tadakamadla, La Trobe Department of Dentistry.
Factors affecting morning and evening toothbrushing routines in a sample of Australian pre-school children - Dr Diep Ha, The University of Queensland School of Dentistry.
Effect of trajectories of free sugars intake on Early Childhood Caries - the SMILE birth cohort study. - A/Prof Amit Arora, Western Sydney University.
Determinants for early introduction of complementary foods in infants - the HSHK birth cohort study.
- Dr Mihiri Silva, Melbourne Dental School.
