the oral health summit joint award

Outstanding Clinical Team Case Report Prize

The Outstanding Clinical Team Case Report Prize is awarded jointly by The British Society of Periodontology & Implant Dentistry and The British Society of Dental Hygiene & Therapy with the object of showcasing excellence in the planning and treatment of a patient through a whole team approach. The prize takes the form of a cash award of £500 together with a certificate for the winning team.

Eligibility

The prize is open to any team of oral healthcare professionals.

Submission requirements

The report must provide details of a clinical case which may have multi-disciplinary content but with the main theme being the periodontal and/or peri-implant management. This should include the following:

  • Description of the case presented and diagnostic procedures with justification of the management options and final care plan
  • Documentation of the management provided/contributions by individual team members and materials used etc.
  • Evidence-based decision making
  • Evaluation of the success of the management
  • Supporting material such as radiographs and clinical photographs with patient consent

The report must be submitted in pdf format and should not exceed 1,000 words (not including references, tables and figures or the title. Sub-headings are included in the word count).

Work must be unpublished. Cases submitted for other BSP or BSDHT prizes must not be resubmitted. However, a team entry for this prize does not prevent an individual from applying for one other BSP or BSDHT prize.

The reports will be assessed by a team of judges appointed by the BSP & BSDHT, whose decision will be final. Feedback will not be provided to individuals. The Societies reserve the right to withhold the prize if the standard of the entries is not of sufficient merit.

The winning team will be awarded their prize and certificate at The Oral Health Summit in Edinburgh 28-29 November 2025.
