About the Event
Participants will learn minimally invasive and non-invasive treatment for pediatric patients including interim therapeutic restoration, silver diamine fluoride, and Hall technique. Indirect pulp therapy for deep caries in young permanent molars and pulp therapy for primary molars are discussed with treatment recommendations. Full coverage stainless steel crowns for primary molars, extraction of primary dentition and local anesthesia techniques are also presented. Included in this program is a review of the dental literature along with evidence-based methods to decrease chair time and heighten confidence when treating your pediatric patients.
The transformation of the pediatric patient’s dentition and oral structures through the primary, mixed and early permanent dentition may result in various problematic presentations. Identification and timely intervention will assure not only the child’s developmental well-being but may also minimize future treatment costs. This course looks at findings during the clinical examination including anomalies, pathology and various soft tissue presentations. Upper airway obstruction, specific treatment recommendations for eruption disturbances, and space maintainers complete this program. You will derive enhanced diagnostic and treatment skills for your youngest patients.
