Course 2: Healing Dental Caries: The Minimal Intervention Approach by Dr. Edmond Hewlett
From 1:00 P.M. – 5 P.M. – 4 C.E. Units
Scientific breakthroughs enable dental practitioners to treat and cure diseases more effectively than ever. Better understanding of pathogenic and risk factors for dental caries have produced highly effective evidence-based protocols for risk assessment and management (including many non-invasive measures) of this infectious disease. As a result, the paradigm of caries management has shifted away from a reparative model to one focused on detection, risk assessment, and healing of early lesions. This presentation will provide dentists and hygienists with information and procedures for incorporating this important treatment concept into everyday practice.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES/BENEFITS TO ATTENDEES:
1. Understanding the medical model of caries management.
2. Learning protocols for risk assessment and monitoring.
3. Learning minimally-invasive techniques for antibacterial therapy and remineralization..
Dr. Edmond R. Hewlett received his D.D.S. degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry, completed a 1-year general practice residency program at the University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago, postgraduate training in Prosthodontics at UCLA. He has been a member full-time academic faculty at UCLA since 1987. He is currently Professor and Vice Chair of the Division of Restorative Dentistry, and additionally serves as Director of Knowledge Management for the School of Dentistry.
