  • Presented by IAPD: Behavior Guidance

     Contains 3 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 05/23/2020

    Connecting with the new generations: the New pediatric dentist’s role as a communicator during and after CoVid 19 Pediatric dentists should know more about children’s emotions and behavior than any other health professional. Today with this new pandemic, the rules have changed. We are facing, economic, physical and emotional challenges. This presentation wil focus on the problems in sight. . How de we want to handle the future. Paralysis or action. Everybody tells us how to wash, what to do to stay clean of CoVid-19, BUT, nobody how to pay attention to our emotions. We need new tools to negociate this new reality. We will provide you with a tool box to be prepared for the future. New generations of children and parents are challenging the communication techniques that have been traditionally used by pediatric dentists. Social and technological changes have had a great impact on the new generations and affect our role as health care providers. With the advent of advanced technology and this physical distancing from the pandemic, major changes are taking place challenging the role that we will play in the future of children’s’ health and wellbeing. New generations are becoming more isolated and physical and emotional communications are being jeopardized. The human aspect is being replaced by technology. Humans in the not too distant future may become expendable and replaceable. In addition, parents acquire information via the internet and question the information we provide and our techniques of communication with their children. We need to rediscover our emotions and re-evaluate our communicative techniques. In this procedure we should not forget that our great advantage over technology is our ability to connect and emotionally communicate with other people. This is something that hopefully will not be replaceable. We will illustrate the major changes major changes we will face with the new generations of parents and children around the globe and how it affects us in the way we work in our offices. We will show the importance of bonding with parents and children, moving beyond the biological aspects and venturing into the psycho-socio and cultural issues. Knowing our children and adolescents will allow us to detect potential physical or emotional hazardous behavior. The first change that needs to be made is learning how different healthcare professionals interact with children and parents in different cultures and countries. When we bond we enter a danger zone of co-dependency, so we need to learn, know and set our limits. " Do we want to be keepers of the past to preserve the future? " Can I care, still allowing the other to be separate?" " Can I leave the comfortable me and enter the ever-changing other? Are we ready to take on this challenge? If not, will many health specialties survive the Twenty First century?   Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this presentation, participants will learn how different cultures naturally assume a different way to communicate with parents and children.We will show the differences between Western individualism and the Eastern spirit of community, to adapt, adopt, mold and embrace new feelings favored from experience by our peers around the world to a greater mutual understanding of the other and its potential positive effect for the future of our profession. Pediatric dentists all over the world are experiencing economic, physical and emotional challenges from CoVid19 pandemic. We will show how to deal with them and adapt to our new reality. Technology is here to stay to make our lives more comfortable. No matter how fast technology advances, we cannot afford to lose our humanity. A full paradigm shift will be necessary. We will show what are our main advantages to survive the XXI century. Recent advances in technology and their uses and applications for behavior guidance Behavior management is a basic discipline and a major differential expertise of Pediatric Dentistry as a speciality. Behavior management has undergone several changes and modifications over time. To help children and parents, it is important to address the causes of behavioral problems faced by pediatric dentistry and to provide well-structured cognitive behavioral interventions that can optimize the outcome of behavior management. The cognitive pediatric dentistry paradigm plays a major role in behavior management, even more so nowadays, as we are expected to deliver painless dental treatment. To Prevent Dental Behavioral Management Problems, Technologies like 3D animation can be a powerful Communication Tool to shape children perceptions. These can also increase children sense of predictability and acceptability of dental treatments. Learning Objectives: Understand the Origins of Dental behavior management problems. Understand the Structure of a Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Model in pediatric dental patients (4-7 years old) for the prevention and management of Behavior Management Problems. Understand how a virtual tool can be applied in pediatric dentistry behavior management

  • Does it Really Work? Minimal Intervention Approaches for Caries Management in Children (including SDF, ITR/ART and Hall Technique)

     Contains 4 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 05/23/2020

    Traditional operative treatment using different restorative materials, has been used for over a century to treat the dental destruction caused by dental caries. It is invasive, technique sensitive, costly, and requires significant cooperation from the patient. Many patients are unable to receive this treatment because they are too young, anxious, have medical conditions that limit their cooperation, or lack the resources to access care. The advent of new materials, concepts and products, have allowed the introduction of Minimal Intervention Approaches to manage caries lesions that allow us to give patients an alternative option. This presentation will discuss the use of Silver Diamine Fluoride, ITR/ART and the Hall Technique as Minimal Intervention Approaches in the management of caries in Pediatric Dentistry. Learning Objectives: 1. Differentiate the concepts of minimally invasive dentistry, minimal intervention approaches and personalized optimal interventions understanding the needs and advantages of these approaches. 2. Understand the scientific basis for current recommendations for SDF, ITR/ART and the Hall Technique as well as their indications, pros and cons. 3. Acquire the knowledge and techniques required to implement these approaches into clinical practice.
