The daylong seminar will include two sessions: The morning session will be "The 4 C's in Solving the Caries Puzzle" and the afternoon session is "The Myths, Legends and Realities of OTC Products".

This seminar is intended for all graduates of LCCC's Dental Assisting, EFDA and Dental Hygiene Programs. However, all medical professionals, including dentists and staff members are encouraged to attend.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:

The 4C’s in Solving the Caries Puzzle

This program introduces a suggested “caries risk assessment” survey to identify individual patient risk level for dental caries. Mapping a treatment plan is only successful when the dental team understands all factors that influence the caries pattern and prevalence based on medical history, lifestyle changes, behaviors and disease factors.
The program will preview several case studies that begin with CAMBRA and design a mapping to incorporate appropriate therapies and patient-applied practices to reverse early carious patterns. In the final segment of this seminar, the participants will all be encouraged to share their successes with all the latest remineralization products and how they plan to improve their day-to-day practice using evidence-based science. This half day program is totally sponsored by Premier.

The Myths, Legends and Realities of OTC Products

This fun and interactive program explores the myths, legends and realities of personal dental products. We look at vintage commercials and then discuss how they have shaped current ideals and why getting the right products into the hands of our patients is such a challenge. This course will leave you questioning many of the advertisements and provide you with solutions, as well as, options to make wiser decisions for yourself and your patients.
