OVERVIEW
New Advances in Caries Management: Risk Assessment, Silver Diamine Fluoride, and Glass Ionomer Cement is organized by University of Maryland School of Dentistry (UMSOD) and will be held on Nov 17, 2018 at University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Dental Team. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 6 CDE credit hours.
Course Description:
Clinical practice today uses scientifically sound evidence-based approaches. There is a noticeable shift to the caries treatment paradigm by better preventing and managing caries as a disease.
This presentation will present a scientific overview of caries management by risk assessment utilizing new tools such as the ADA Caries Classification System, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), partial caries removal, and glass ionomer cement (GIC) to managing caries. Actual clinical cases will be used to illustrate these concepts.
The presentation provides an excellent update relevant to clinical applications for the dentist, hygienist, assistants and front office.
Course Objectives:
• Develop evidence-based treatment options to manage caries based on individual patient risk factors
• Use the ADA Caries Classification System to determine when nonsurgical and surgical are appropriate
• Use clinical cases to demonstrate how to use SDF, partial caries removal, and GIC to treat caries chemically
