ASTOT 2025 Symposium

As we reflect on the 2025 Symposium for the Australasian Society for Tethered Oral Tissues, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to this enriching event. This year’s theme of Collaborative Conversations was brought to life through dynamic exchanges that underscored the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue in advancing the diagnosis and treatment of tethered oral tissues. We celebrate the wonderful oral and poster presentations submitted through the abstract process, each offering valuable insights and innovative approaches that are shaping the future of clinical practice and research. A special thank you to our speakers from diverse fields—clinicians, researchers, educators, and allied health professionals—whose expertise and generosity in sharing their work made this symposium a truly impactful experience. Your contributions continue to inspire progress and foster meaningful collaboration across the oral health community.

ASTOT 2024 SYMPOSIUM

ASTOT 2024 was held at the QT on the wonderful Gold Coast and we were excited to have 84 attendees on site including our wonderful sponsors and engaging speakers.Tethered Oral Tissues in Tots and Beyond was the theme of our 2024 Conference and our Speakers did an exceptional job of covering important topics and educating delegates across the two days.We had 4 Oral Presentation spots for our Abstract submissions with presenters given 15 minutes on Friday to present their work and this led to additional conversations and learnings throughout our Poster session on Saturday afternoon.We also had 9 ‘Lightening Talks’ whereby our Abstract Presenters were given 5 minutes to present their studies on the Saturday and it was great to see all the data and findings presented to attendees.Our conference was a great continuation of building our relationships and networks with our International Colleagues including New Zealand, Singapore and Indonesia. In the sharing of research and clinical experiences, ASTOT 2024 identified areas where we can work together to learn and support optimal outcomes in families and individuals affected by tethered oral tissues.
