Description:
Implementing an effective caries risk assessment tool is only the first but most important step in recognizing and classifying those adults who now carry a high risk of developing dental caries. Since dental caries is no longer a childhood disease, it becomes paramount for dental professionals to identify all factors that contribute to enamel erosion, root caries, and conventional enamel lesions. The treatment planning becomes more complex as adults retain their teeth longer and require effective strategies for prevention. New research will be shared that supports the impact of fluoride enhanced with ACP technology.
Upon completion of this CE webinar, the student will be able to: become familiar with implementing an effective caries risk assessment tool into their practice; identify all factors that contribute to enamel erosion, root caries, and conventional enamel lesions; become familiar with new research that supports the impact of fluoride enhanced with ACP technology.
