What’s So Interesting About Cariology … Come and See?
Next Upcoming Session:
Description:
Overview & Learning Objectives
Nobody Caries (Morning Topic) Sometimes it seems as though our patients don't grasp the basic concept of home care. Other times our patients with impeccable hygiene develop rampant decay and we feel helpless because we can't figure out what's going on. The mouth is a remarkable environment that cariologiests are finally beginning to understand, and so can you. Come learn everything you didn't know about plaque and the amazing organisms that make the mouth a wonderful place to work.
After attending this lecture, participants should be better
able to:
- Explain the mixed ecological approach to caries causation
- Apply Evidence Based and novel preventive therapies
- Quickly identify caries risk patients before they develop disease
- Stop "watching" lesions and see them get smaller
Codependent Cariology (Afternoon Topic)
Depriving cariogenic bacteria of sugar is the cornerstone of traditional caries management, yet the science of CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment) takes cariology to whole new level. If you're still telling patients to, "Brush, floss, and use fluoride toothpaste" you're going to be surprised by the myriad of treatment option available today. Streptococcus mutans has more to fear than stronger fluoride and more of it, as dentistry embraces oral healthcare.
After attending this lecture, participants should be better
able to:
- Identify risk factors leading to caries
- Explain the role of commensals
- Implement disease management in practice
- Prolong the life of restorations in all patients
