Introduction:
With increasingly complex and invasive dental treatment there has been an increase in patients presenting with complaints arising from either complications secondary to dental treatment or failure of the treatment outcomes to meet their high expectations functionally and or aesthetically. These range from functional problems with fixed or removable prostheses to TMJ- myofascial pain syndromes , iatrogenic nerve damage and neuropathic pain. The management of these wide variety of cases is often outside the experience of scope of a busy general dental practitioner. We aspire to set up a panel of experts who can initially review , examine and suggest management strategies for a diverse group of such patients who present with challenging symptoms , problems, complications and complaint
ADP Objective and Mission Statement
The ADP consists of a multidisciplinary body of dental experts with a specific objective of diagnosing and suggesting treatment strategies for managing challenging cases and complications In particular, those patients who have atypical facial pain, TMJ and myofacial syndromes, and neuropathic pain secondary to dental interventions and those that do not confirm or respond to traditional treatment modalities.
The aims of the ADP are:
- To improve the quality of life of the patients that are referred by way of developing a multidisciplinary diagnosis and remedial treatment strategies for the management of their problems
- To offer a point of reference for the profession when there are no other options
- To educate the profession in managing challenging cases and complications
- To provide independent expert advice to third party groups

What ADP Does
- Examine the patient, and use appropriate investigations to diagnose and formulate a treatment strategy.
- Advise the referring clinician/3rd party organisation to carry out this strategy, or (if beyond their competence or scope of practice) recommend a clinician that can undertake the work.
- Review the patient at appropriate intervals to ensure the strategy is effective, and if necessary suggest modifications to the treatment.
- Publish every case. This is to ensure we learn from these patients.
- Act as a clinical advisory and arbitration panel to help to resolve disputes between patients and their dentists arising from failure of treatment outcomes to meet patient expectations.
- Directly treat patients.
