Pediatric Caries Management I: Risk Assessment and Caries Arrest
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic non-communicable diseases and most common unmet healthcare needs among children, particularly poor and minority children. Targeted healthcare delivery can be an important strategy to improve health and patient-centered outcomes, while reducing disparities and containing costs. This presentation will discuss evidence on caries risk assessment and cost-effectiveness of a risk based approach to caries management, as well as evidence supporting caries arrest strategies such as SDF.
Learn:
the importance of managing caries as a chronic, life-long disease
to compare and contrast the accuracy of different tools for assessing risk for caries in children, particularly in interprofessional settings
the cost-effectiveness of a targeted risk-based approach to caries management throughout childhood
the evidence behind caries arrest strategies for caries control

Pediatric Caries Management II: Early Detection and Incipient Lesions
This presentation discusses the newest advances and concepts in early caries detection and intervention. Management of incipient lesions is discussed with a focus on minimally invasive care. Several strategies are presented with an emphasis on those techniques and materials that are evidence-based, effective, and feasible.
Learn to:
carry out effective early caries detection
manage early caries intervention in children
evaluate the evidence for minimally invasive caries management
apply caries management strategies in children
