Minimally invasive dentistry prioritizes the preservation of healthy tooth structure while utilizing techniques to manage caries and prevent disease progression. How can this approach be effectively applied in pediatric dentistry to benefit young patients?
Join CareQuest Institute and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry for a webinar that will explore evidence-based, minimally invasive dental procedures tailored for children and adolescents. Our expert panel of pediatric dentists will discuss the advantages of these procedures and provide guidance on integrating them into daily practice. They'll also share insights on cariology, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), glass ionomer applications, Hall crowns, and effective communication strategies for children and their families — all designed to improve oral health outcomes for young patients.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the principles of minimally invasive dentistry, including tooth remineralization and preservation.
- Identify the key elements of the caries disease process and recognize how risk assessments guide patient-centric care decisions.
- Discuss the benefits of several treatments as they relate to caries management, including silver diamine fluoride (SDF), glass ionomer materials, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), and Hall crowns.
