Dental Caries: Advances In Detection And Disease Management
Renee' Graham, RDH, M.Ed.


Dental caries is a chronic infectious disease affecting children and adults. This course will address trends in caries epidemiology, describe new diagnostic technologies and discuss minimally invasive approaches to managing this disease. With earlier detection, the clinician will be able to redirect management from a restorative (surgical) approach to a medical (preventive) approach.

Learning objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Discuss the etiology and epidemiology of caries.
• Establish a risk management program for caries management in the dental practice which incorporates a team approach.
• Define CAMBRA and utilize it to identify a patient’s risk potential for developing carious lesions.
• Discuss implementation plans for patient treatment.
