Session 1 of 4 from DE’s Clinical Mastermind Virtual Event
Nothing can restore our natural tooth structure to be as good as what was lost. Prevention is one way to keep our natural tooth structure. Within our patient pool we have patients with different risk factors. We have some older patients on medications with severely dry mouths who seem to get new caries on each recall appointment. We have other patients who are teenagers in braces who develop white spot lesions. We may have some patients who are “natural” with aversion to certain products. Or maybe we have pediatric patients who are still swallowing their fluoridate toothpaste. This lecture aims to discuss patients with different risk factors and specific treatment for them. We will also discuss new products for caries control including xylitol, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, antibacterials, others. Finally we will discuss some non-surgical treatments for teeth including resin infiltration and self-assembling peptides.
Learning Objectives
- Develop strategies for different high risk patients
- Learn about new materials available for caries control
- Learn about resin infiltration and self-assembling peptides.
