Magic of Prevention

Caries infection has increased in young adult populations and continues to be a major disease for children. This course discusses the impact of Nano Technology on today’s preventative and restorative materials. Attendees will learn about advancements in today’s desensitizers, sealants, and fluoride treatments to help combat patient’s sensitivity issues and how to prevent future issues.

Learning Objectives:

1. Gain an understanding of new research findings that can contribute to the evidence for application of varnish with chemotherapeutic fluoride treatment.

2. Understand the findings of recent research exploring how dental practitioners are using scientific evidence in their patient treatment decisions and patient counseling.

3. Learn methods of applying Xylitol containing based fluoride treatments and Nano Hybrid Sealants and their effectiveness on today’s patients.

4. Understand the correct CDT coding procedure for hygiene procedures and review the “current changes” to desensitizing and ‘home use” fluoridation treatments.

“Cracking the Dental Code” 2024

With the yearly changes made to the CDT dental codes it can be challenging for a dental professional on how or advise patients what procedures their insurance carriers will be covered or to help their patient file their own dental claims. This program will discuss a variety of procedures like desensitizing, dental creams/varnishes and how they can be profitable for a dental practice.

Learning Objective:

1. Gain an understanding of groundbreaking results that contribute to the evidence for application of varnish with chemotherapeutic fluoride treatment.
