CARIES MANAGEMENT BY RISK ASSESSMENT (CAMBRA)
Dental caries is an infectious disease affecting children and adults throughout life.
This course will address current trends in caries disease management utilizing caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA), an evidence-based methodology that identifies the cause of disease by assessing risk factors for each individual patient. Based on the evidence presented, the clinician then corrects the problems (by managing the risk factors) using specific treatment recommendations including behavioral, chemical, and minimally invasive procedures.
Participants will learn:
- Upon completion, the participant shall be able to properly perform a caries risk assessment and propose evidence-based treatment options to the patient.
- The participant will have a thorough understanding biological, chemical and mechanical aspects of caries disease.
