The Latest and Greatest In Pediatric Dentistry
An Update in What’s New in Care for Children
The indications for pulpotomies have changed, the need for full coverage crowns (versus large restorations) cannot be overstated, painless and faster anesthesia is now a real possibility, and the necessity of radiographs during a child’s facial and dental development provides a clear rationale for parents who “don’t want any x-rays taken.” New restorative approaches, including a variety of primary tooth crowns have now entered into private practice more commonly. Know today’s techniques, concepts, and materials to treat your youngest patients with confidence.
Course Objectives:
- Treat primary pulps with the greatest rate of success.
- List which developmental anomalies are asymptomatic.
- Provide pain-free injections and increase working time on children.
- Have a greater understanding of what primary crowns are now available
