Oral cancer is key topic in Euro conference
9th Jun 2010
Professor Crispian Scully
Philips Sonicare is supporting a conference aimed at presenting the European perspectives on oral cancer.
It will be staged in parallel sessions for two distinct audiences; xentists, and zpecialists mainly in maxillofacial surgery, oral medicine, oral surgery, special care dentistry, and otorhinolaryngology and dental care professionals [DCPs] and the cancer support team.
The Oral Healthcare for People Living with Cancer Conference brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of oral cancer, takes place on 11 June 2010.
It aims to enhance awareness throughout the healthcare team of the importance of early detection of orofacial signs and symptoms, and of the prevention of cancers.
In addition, it is hoped that healthcare professionals will learn ways to help reduce mortality rates through early detection and early treatment and reduce complications from cancers and their treatment.
Philips is working with Professor Crispian Scully of the Eastman Dental Institute to organise the event which takes place in London at The De Vere Conference Centre in the Docklands area of the City.
The fit with Philips Sonicare is a good one.
The brushes in the Sonicare range use the latest sonic technology to clean the oral cavity highly effectively yet gently to ensure patients with oral health problems such as oral cancers achieve an exemplary level of cleanliness without damaging sensitive tissues and lesions so necessary to ensure that their treatment and overall health are not compromised any further.
For patients with oral cancer, many of whom are immunologically compromised, the addition of a Philips UV Sanitiser with its FlexCare+ brush enables them to eliminate 99% of selected germs from their toothbrush heads, so that they do not risk potentially risky infections.
