Caries management by risk assessment for children
Lesson program
- The process of dental caries as a bacterial triggered disease and the many factors that influence the disbalance of the oral microbiome.
- The pathological and protective factors related to caries initiation, progression and prevention
- The principles of clinical intervention in the caries process, and how to put this into practice.
- A caries risk assessment for children and manage dental caries based upon the caries risk level.
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.
