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

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.
