Minimally invasive dental treatment is becoming more commonplace for the modern practitioner, however, the most conservative treatment option available remains prevention. Patients requiring any form of prosthetic care present with a higher risk for developing recurrent decay following treatment. The clinician’s ability to recognize potential risk, diagnose disease, and ultimately implement caries management protocols, will play a significant role in establishing more predictable and long-term success outcome for these patients.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Recognize the most common trends in caries management.
• Determine the significant role of oral pH and salivary flow in the caries process.
• Identify the disease indicators, pathogenic processes, and the protective factors for individual patients requiring fixed and removable treatment.
• Implement a caries management by risk assessment protocol into day-to-day clinical practice for all patients undergoing prosthetic care.   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
