Should you seal over caries? When do you intervene? How much and how do you remove caries? Managing dental caries is a fundamental part of general practice, are you up to date with best practice or are you doing what you think works?

This hands-on interactive CPD course explores current evidence-based practice on caries detection, diagnosis and management.

Course Highlights:

• Polymer Burs in Caries Removal: Hands on use of polymer burs and a comparison with conventional burs on caries removal.
• Fluorescence Aided Caries Detection: A look into the capabilities of fluorescence technologies (laser fluorescence, near-infrared light transillumination, transillumination) in the detection of carious lesions.
• Silver Diamine Fluoride Application: Practical insights into the protocols and hands-on use with SDF in a variety of clinical scenarios.
• Magnification in Dentistry: Exploration of magnification tools to enhance visual assessment, how much is too much?
• Caries Detector Dyes: Useful or useless? Histological validation of the use and abuse of detector dyes.
• Chemomechanical Caries Removal: Hands-on use of chemo-mechanical caries removal options.
• Caries classification and charting: transition to contemporary charting systems — move beyond diagnosing a tooth with "watch"!

This course combines the latest evidence with practical applications. Participants will be involved in interactive lectures and rotate through various stations, each focusing on a specific aspect of caries diagnosis and management, ensuring a holistic and immersive learning experience.
