PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
CONGRESS

Endodontic treatment for open-apex immature permanent teeth presents a unique challenge to the clinician. This one-hour presentation will review a wide spectrum of conventional and recent treatment options comprising apexogenesis, apexification, artificial apical barriers and management of post-trauma inflammatory root resorption. The changing concepts in the management of young permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis will be discussed along with with clinical cases. The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bioceramic materials will be reviewed in a plethora of long-term follow-up case presentations with different levels of endodontic involvement and hard tissue loss.

Lecture 2: Endodontic management of immature permanent teeth : Regenerative Endodotonic Procedures (1 Hour)

Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have evolved into a viable treatment option for immature permanent teeth with pulpal necrosis. REPs promote resolution of periapical disease, continued root development and even restoration of vitality responses without precluding the possibility of traditional endodontic therapies in case of failure. This one-hour course will review the basic concepts in pulp regeneration and will then focus on the three important aspects of current regenerative endodontic procedures: Root canal disinfection protocols and use interim medicaments, the effectiveness of apical bleeding versus scaffolds, and biomaterials used as coronal barriers. Current challenges in regenerative endodontics will be discussed with emphasis on clinician- and patient-based outcomes on many, well-documented, long-term case presentations.

Resume: Positive behaviors strongly rely on a pain-free dental treatment but also in a child who finds the procedure acceptable and predictable. To achieve that goal; Virtual Technology can be used to improve communication with children about dental procedures and help children to learn according to their cognitive stage in order to prevent behavior management dental problems and promote the quality of the dental experience.
Program:
- Pre Operational (2-7 years old) cognitive stage and implications in pediatric dentistry
- relation between children cognitions and behavior management problems
- How children learn and the importance of prevention of behavior management
problems
- Roogies Cognitive tool for behavior management.
- Technology and Future directions for behavior management

Course Description:
This course will present the latest information on the rationale and principles of caries risk assessment and management that will aid the practitioner in delivering optimal care for children in clinical practice.
This presentation will summarize the science behind the “caries balance” concept, which is the key to caries management by risk assessment in clinical practice. If pathological factors prevail, caries progresses. If protective factors prevail, the caries process is halted or reversed. A description of the tools to implement “caries management by risk assessment” in the dental office will be included. Implementation in dental practice provides patients with genuine hope and success in the management of their oral health. It is a practice builder.

Educational Objectives:
By the completion of this course, participants should be able to:
1. Understand the process of dental caries as a bacterial triggered disease and the many factors that influence the disbalance of the oral microbiome.
2. Understand and know the pathological and protective factors related to caries initiation, progression and prevention.
3. Understand the principles of clinical intervention in the caries process, and how to put this into practice.
4. Conduct a caries risk assessment for children and manage dental caries based upon the caries risk level.

Lecture 2. Minimal intervention approaches including SDF for the management of dental caries in children

Course Description:
This course will present the rationale and principles of minimal intervention dentistry, including detailed descriptions of minimally invasive (non surgical) approaches currently used for the management of dental caries in children. We will discuss the importance of evaluating disease severity, behavior and medical/social individual considerations for optimal case selection and provide an update on the latest techniques and materials available (including silver diamine fluoride), reviewing the risks and benefits as well as, pros and cons of different methods.

Abstract:
Dental caries remains a global public health burden as 44% of all people worldwide is suffering from untreated caries in primary and permanent teeth. Caries is today regarded as a preventable non-communicable disease (NCD), sharing similar biological, behavioral, socioeconomic and lifestyle risk factors with other NCD’s within the metabolic syndrome. Therefore, caries should be subjected to a similar model of chronic disease management. Caries prevention has traditionally relied on fluoride exposure, diet control, proper oral hygiene and antibacterial agents. Prevention of caries as a NCD does certainly not disqualify these methods but bring them into a new context. The lecture will give a brief overview on how these preventive measures can interfere with the drivers of dysbiosis and promote the growth of health-associated clusters in the oral microbiome. Besides the established routines of regular tooth brushing with fluoride products and fluoride varnish applications, there is an opportunity for additional technologies based on ecological principles to address and modify the oral biofilm. Methods to reduce dietary sugar, slow down plaque metabolism and support saliva functions should be further developed and investigated in terms of efficacy, compliance and cost-effectiveness.

Learning objectives:
- To understand and embrace the 4D-loop (Determine, Detect, Decide and Do) for caries management and care in everyday practice.
- To practice evidence-based caries risk assessment, early caries detection, clinical decision-making followed by a personalized care plan for children.
