Overview:
With the Affordable Care Act mandating dental coverage for those under 19, there will be more than 3,000,000 pediatric patients added to 150,000 dental practices. Treating children may become a necessity for your dental office. Pulp therapy and stainless steel crowns are procedures that are often considered complex when performed on pediatric patients. This course will alleviate any fear or the unknown that leads to this misconception. Indirect pulp therapy, pulptomy, and pulpectomy will be discussed with emphasis on diagnosis and technique. Stainless steel crowns will also be discussed and procedural steps thoroughly explained and shown. Pulp therapy nor stainless steel crowns are possible without effective anesthetic techniques thus this course also discusses Dr. Wren’s process for the utilization of nitrous oxide, appropriate topical anesthesia and local anesthesia in order to achieve a truly painless injection 100% of the time.
