Treating high caries risk patients can be both overwhelming and frustrating. The challenge often lies in the sheer number of restorations needed, combined with the imperative to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Frustration arises when risk factors remain unaddressed, leading to recurrent caries—even around newly placed restorations. This lecture will cover the diagnosis of caries lesions and guide appropriate thresholds for intervention. An evidence-based framework for developing an individualized prevention plan will be outlined, along with strategies for arresting caries and promoting lesion remineralization. Finally, the course will explore the use of bioactive materials, both as liners for pulp protection in deep caries cases and as ion-releasing restorative materials designed to help prevent future caries.
Fee: October-December: $90 January-February: $130
Learning Objectives:
Learn new techniques for diagnosis of caries, thresholds for operative treatment.
Learn to develop a prevention treatment plan.
Learn how to use silver diamine fluoride and resin infiltration to arrest caries and bioactive pulp capping materials and restorative materials to treat caries lesions.
