BEYOND 1000 PPM HIGH FLUORIDES AND BOOSTERS CONFERENCE – MODULE 1: HIGH FLUORIDES
This is the first module in a 4 part series of recorded webinars conducted after the 2015 International Association of Dental Research Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
This conference was convened to inform attendees about the range for both high fluoride and boosters with a focus on high-risk populations.
This first module will focus primarily on high fluorides. The 3 topics discussed are: Who needs more than 1000PPM presented by Professor Ana Karina Mascarenhas, High fluoride dentifrices for children and adults presented by Professor Iain Pretty, and High fluoride dentifrices for older and vulnerable adults presented by Professor Kim Ekstrand.
Participants will learn:
- Value of identifying at-risk populations in order to combat the chronic illness of dental caries
- The available evidence to support the use of dentifrices with high (>1500ppm) concentrations of fluoride to help prevent and treat caries in high-risk children and adolescents
- The additional caries preventive effect on root caries lesions in elderly patients compared to traditional dentifrices (1000-1450ppm
