For: Hygienists,
The role of the health care team in preventative management of caries and minimally invasive treatment of the deeper carious lesion.
Preventing dentistry “MI” way!
Lecture content
Prof Banerjee, will outline the definitions of “MID” – minimum intervention oral healthcare delivery and minimally invasive dentistry. The roles of the team members will be discussed in the non-operative preventive management of dental caries, the most prevalent non-communicable disease affecting humankind on the planet. Using scientific evidence and clinical tips, Avijit will describe clinical tips and protocols to help manage and motivate our higher caries risk patients.
Aims and Objectives
By the end of this lecture delegates will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of minimum intervention (MI) dentistry in the following subject areas:
• Defining the minimum intervention and minimally invasive protocols for non-operative caries preventive management
• The role of oral healthcare team members in delivering better oral health
• The scientific evidence behind dysbiotic plaque biofilm modulation, diet control and remineralisation strategies to help prevent carious lesions and control the caries process
• Clinical non-operative protocols that can be used to manage and motivate high caries risk patients
Development outcomes
By the end of this lecture delegates will be able to enhance patient care by helping prevent, arrest and manage caries lesions using minimum intervention techniques. This lecture is designed to provide educational material conforming to the General Dental Council’s development outcomes A and C (Patient communication and Maintenance and development of knowledge and skill within your field of practice).
“MI” management of the deep carious lesion; take it, leave it or stick to it?
Lecture content
Prof Banerjee will concentrate on the minimally invasive operative management of the deeper carious lesion. Again, using scientific and clinical evidence base, he will outline the MI operative clinical protocols that encourage the use of selective carious tissue excavation techniques. Avijit will then go on to outline the contemporary bio-interactive restorative materials that are available clinically to restore such cavities, whilst maintaining tissue preservation and pulp sensibility in the long term.
Aims and Objectives
By the end of this lecture delegates will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of minimally invasive (MI) operative dentistry in the following subject areas:
• Being able to implement selective carious tissue excavation protocols, understanding that caries-affected dentine can be sealed beneath a bio-interactive adhesive restoration
• Biomaterial science – being able to critically evaluate the various bio-interactive adhesive restorative materials
• Appreciating the different clinical properties / usage / handling of such materials in maintaining pulp sensibility and tissue preservation
• Increase awareness of distance-learning post-graduate opportunities for dental therapists, masters in Advanced Minimum Intervention Dentistry at King’s College London.
Development outcomes
By the end of this lecture delegates will be able to enhance patient care by managing deep carious lesions using minimally invasive techniques. This lecture is designed to provide educational material conforming to the General Dental Council’s development outcomes A and C (Patient communication and Maintenance and development of knowledge and skill within your field of practice).
