Course Description
This course is of specific interest to all members of the dental team. Learn how to prevent and even reverse early lesions using oral disinfectants, modified sugars, fluoride, and new salivary diagnostics and replacement therapies, rather than traditional surgical techniques. Dr. Young will also present research showing that not all caries should be treated alike and the site-specific way to manage each carious site will be presented. The latest caries detection, and glass ionomer sealant methodologies will be reviewed as well and strategies on how they are used in practice. Learn how important the hygiene department and dental assisting staff are to this new paradigm.
Caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA) is taught at all of the five California dental schools as well as most schools across the US. It is considered by many as the current standard of caries management. In fact, the “First Smiles” program is a four-year $7 million grant to educate 47,000 dental professionals and over 9,000 medical professionals in California about this approach to caries prevention and treatment. |
Course Objectives
This course will teach to:
- To understand CAMBRA, the newest areas of prevention and early caries management using chemical and microsurgical approaches
- Practical tools needed to treat and prevent the disease of caries using a caries risk assessment and intervention protocols based on individual risk
- A better understanding of the disease process as well as the science behind products and behaviors that will arrest, reverse, and prevent future disease
- Websites where participants can keep up-to-date with current science on CAMBRA
- How to code and evaluate services and products used in CAMBRA to enable continuous learning and improvement
- Understand why the whole dental team must participate, and the role each team member plays in CAMBRA
- Be aware of opportunities to collaborate with other existing CAMBRA organizations
