[JOINT] Caries Management: Transitioning from Education and Research to Improve Patient Care

Sponsored by: Cariology Research, Education Research, ADEA Preventive Dentistry Group
Description: Dental caries management should be based on a comprehensive diagnosis and risk assessment, to help support the most appropriate evidence-based surgical and non-surgical treatment decisions for both non-cavitated and cavitated lesions, and their future prevention. This symposium is geared to researchers, educators and practicing clinicians who have interest in management of dental caries. The presenters will: 1) review the available information regarding modalities in teaching and clinically applying contemporary scientific understanding of the biology and associated health behaviors of dental caries in US and Canadian dental schools; 2) discuss how diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention and remineralization of caries can effectively and efficiently be implemented in didactic and clinical teaching, and to facilitate longitudinal observation and outcomes assessment; 3) discuss barriers and process to implement scientifically justified changes in clinical teaching and ultimately in the practice of caries management and prevention; 4) explore how proposed changes can affect third-party payers, and ultimately affect reimbursement methods that both encourage and reward preventive, non-surgical dental treatment; and 5) present a model for integration of dental schools (including teachers, clinicians and researchers), boards of examiners, and practicing clinicians to facilitate adoption of these models of care. This program is supported by OMNII Oral Pharmaceuticals and Procter & Gamble
