Course Description
AM SESSION: Management of Dental Trauma --
Dental trauma encompasses a broad spectrum of injuries, from minor fractures to more severe cases affecting the pulp and periodontal tissues. Avulsion of a permanent tooth is a time-sensitive injury. In these urgent situations, the entire dental team—including dentists, dental assistants and dental hygienists—plays a vital role in patient care. Prompt and well-informed decisions are essential to ensure the best long-term functional and esthetic outcomes. Dr. Ritwik will present a case-based discussion on the biological principles and clinical techniques for managing common dental injuries. By following contemporary dental trauma guidelines and evidence-based treatment recommendations, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to effectively manage traumatic dental injuries in young patients, leading to more predictable outcomes.
PM SESSION: Contemporary Restorative Options: Minimally Invasive Techniques to Crowns for Primary Teeth --
The traditional approach to managing loss of tooth structure from dental caries in pediatric patients has been restorative techniques, such as fillings and stainless-steel crowns. There is however an expanding range of options for nonsurgical medical management and minimally invasive techniques to facilitate compassionate dental care for pediatric patients. Dental hygienists, dental assistants and dentists play a key role in assessing caries risk and guiding treatment choices that best support each child’s oral health. In this section of the course, Dr. Ritwik will discuss the role of guided enamel remineralization, resin infiltration, silver diamine fluoride and Hall crowns for pediatric patients. She will also review clinical techniques for the use of stainless-steel crowns, composite strip crowns, pre-veneered esthetic crowns, zirconia crowns, and medical-grade resin crowns. These contemporary techniques will be supported by evaluating the child’s caries risk, medical status, and parental preferences to ensure a personalized approach to care.
