Thisremains the reason so many professionals have made the decisionto ally themselves with this leading organization. The mission of theOrganizing Committee is to advance science and arts of oral healthand dental technologies by disseminating state-of-the-art clinicaland scientific knowledge of dentistry.Our theme this year is “New Trend, New Technology, New Impactin Dentistry”. We chose this theme because we have made manybold and decisive moves to make this Convention the best andfinest organized so far. Firstly, we respond to the challenge of ourHonorable Minister of Health YB Dato’ Seri Liow Tiong Lai to make ourmaiden venture into the international arena. We are truly gratefulto our Honorable Minister of Health for his trust and confidence inus in bringing this International Convention to a new height. Weare also excited that the Ministry of Health has consented to beour Co-Organizer and the Malaysia Convention & Trade ExhibitionBureau (MyCEB), Tourism Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)are also four square behind us in ensuring our success in this maideninternational venture.We are grateful that Singapore Dental Council fully recognizesour Continuing Professional Development Points (CPD) and theFederation Dentaire Internationale (FDI), the Chinese StomatologicalAssociation (CSA) as well as other regional National DentalAssociations have pledged to support our 67th MDA AGM / FDIInternational Scientific Convention & Trade Exhibition.On the Scientific Programme, we are excited that there are 13internationally renowned Speakers would be speaking at our MainPodium which has a capacity of 3000 seats. For the first time, therewould also be special topics addressed by the Keynote Speakerson the Limited Attendance Lecture; Breakfast with the Speakerson the Clinical Round Table Discussion as well as learning newskills and techniques from the Speakers on the Clinical Hands-onWorkshop. Another new innovation in our programme is the specialsymposium conducted by the Dental Corporate, for instance, ColgateSymposium, 3i Symposium etc.This Convention would also continue with the tradition of promotingprofessional excellence and fellowship. To this end, there are manyother programmes organized concurrently. The Oral and PosterCompetition, the Dental Technician Seminar, Dental Auxiliary Seminar,Informal Night Dinner, Grand Opening Ceremony, cumulating to theGrand Finale - The 1 Malaysia MDA Gala Banquet.We are also going to stage a huge Trade Exhibition of internationalstandards. We are confident to attract many local and internationaldental as well as non-dental traders to exhibit in our InternationalConvention.The FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) is honored to be a partner ofthe Malaysian Dental Association (MDA) in organizing the ScientificProgram for the 67th MDA AGM / FDI International ScientificConvention & Trade Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centrethis year.We are living in an era of not only knowledge explosion but alsotechnology explosion. Those who actively practice Dentistryknow that we find new discoveries in the areas of dental material,equipment as well as clinical technique everyday. This is the resultof a concerted effort from research among the academic anddental industry. As new discoveries become available, cliniciansfind out through a process of knowledge transfer.Knowledge transfer is conventionally achieved through journalsand magazines. Today, although we can have the convenience ofsitting in our office or home and searching for information throughthe internet, we also can obtain new knowledge by attending studygroups, scientific courses, meetings and conventions like this one.Therefore there should be no excuses for anyone of not havingthe opportunities to pursue new knowledge. In fact, every dentalpractitioner should be committed to continuing professionaldevelopment as a commitment to his/her patients.As I collaborate with the leaders of the MDA over the years, Icome to notice their strong commitment in providing continuingeducation opportunities for its members. The FDI is proud tosupport the MDA’s effort in its 67th MDA AGM / FDI InternationalScientific Convention & Trade Exhibition this year by recommendingand sponsoring a number of distinguished speakers from differentparts of the world. I wish to congratulate the Organizing Chairman– Dr How Kim Chuan for achieving yet another milestone for theMDA. Dr How has immense energy and vision; he is a very talentedleader who would bring the MDA to a greater height in the nationalas well as international arena. I also wish to thank the generoussupport of the dental industry for their kind support. Last butnot the least; this Convention cannot be successful without yourparticipation. I am confident that you will acquire a great deal ofnew knowledge from your attendance and be able to bring it backto your practice.William Cheung, D.M.D., F.A.G.D., F.A.D.I.CE Programme Manager for Asia PacificFDI World Dental FederationThe Organizing Committee has pledged to deliver the best and thefinest Convention for our local and international delegates.

The mode of presentation: Oral/PosterTHE INFLUENCE OF NANO-FILLED AND UNFILLED RESIN SURFACE COATING AGENTS ONTHE STAIN RESISTANCE OF PROVISIONAL RESTORATIONS.Chong C.W 1 , Wong C.S 1 , Ahmad M 1* , Seow L.L 2 , Tarib N.A 11Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia2Faculty of Dentistry, International Medical UniversityObjectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of surface coating agents in reducingextrinsic stain of two provisional materials. Materials and methods: Three different types of surface coatingagents, nanofilled resin [G-Coat PLUS (GC)] and two unfilled resins [Permaseal ® (Ultradent) and OptiGuard(Kerr)] were examined. The specimens discs were prepared with bis-acryl composite (Protemp 4) andethyl-methacrylate resin (Bosworth Trim ® ). Only Bosworth Trim ® specimens were polished with Sof-lex dics.Surface coating agents were applied. Control groups were left uncoated. The specimens were immersed in acoffee solution for 72 hours at 37 ° Celsius. The colour at baseline and post-immersion were measured withreflection spectrophotometer (Datacolor international, Dataflash 100). Color change (ΔE) was calculated anddata were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and the Tukey multiple comparisons test. Results: Colour changewas most pronounced after immersion in a coffee solution, exceeding the clinical acceptance discolorationthreshold value of ∆E*=3.3 with the exception of the Bosworth Trim ® control group, ∆E*=1.58. Surfacecoating agents significantly increased the colour changes of Bosworth Trim ® . Nano-filled resin [G-Coat PLUS(GC)] improved stain resistance of bis-acryl composite Protemp 4 3M ESPE. Conclusions: Applicationof nanofilled resin significantly improved stain resistance of bis-acryl composite. Ethyl-methacrylate resinreveals the greatest stain resistance.SampleKeywords: surface coating agent, colour changes, stain resistance.
