State-of-the-Art Pediatric Dentistry

State-of-the-Art Pediatric Dentistry is organized by Gordon J. Christensen - Practical Clinical Courses.

Description:
Want to make pediatric dentistry enjoyable and productive? Appropriate treatment planning, local anesthesia, and growth and development are the areas of focus in this virtual course. The indications for pulpotomies have changed, the need for full coverage crowns (versus large restorations) cannot be overstated, painless and faster anesthesia is now a real possibility, and the necessity of radiographs during a child’s facial and dental development provides a clear rationale for parents who “don’t want any x-rays taken.” More tips for handling parents are shared in this fast-paced 3-hour course. Know today’s techniques, concepts, and materials to treat your youngest patients with confidence!

Objectives:

• Treat primary pulps with the greatest rate of success.
• List which developmental anomalies are asymptomatic.
• Provide pain-free injections and increase working time on children.
• List the characteristics of simple stainless steel crown preparation and placement.
• Make parents an asset rather than a problem with clear guidelines.
