Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): Hands-on Instruction 2018

OVERVIEW
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): Hands-on Instruction is organized by University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and will be held on Apr 07, 2018 at University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, San Francisco, California, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is for all dentists and allied dental professionals, such as RDAEFs and RDHAPs. Individuals licensed to place fluoride can apply SDF. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 6 CE credits.
Course Description :
During this hands-on workshop, you will learn techniques and proper identification of SDF and GIC.
Despite caries risk assessment and therapeutic tools such as fluoride that have been in use for decades, dental caries remains a significant problem in many populations. The ADA Caries Classification System (ADA CCS) was published to classify all stages of caries lesions and to help discern when surgical restoration versus chemical remineralization is likely needed. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), a unique chemotherapeutic agent used with or without glass ionomer cement (GIC), may well bridge the gap between remineralization and traditional restoration, especially in certain populations and situations.
Conference Objectives are:
• To classify caries lesions and determine appropriate treatment using the ADA CCS
• To identify which dental healthcare providers can place SDF
• Proper placement technique of both SDF and GIC through hands-on training with extracted teeth
• How to best communicate with patients regarding the treatment options
• To identify proper CDT codes to use with these techniques
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
