About This Webinar

The restorative requirements for patients can vary considerably, as can the individual patient expectations and tolerances. Patients frequently present with a range of complex restorative needs and it can be difficult to determine the most appropriate restorative interventions. There may be concerns over the long-term stability of the dentition and which teeth should be retained and which teeth may need extraction. This webinar will review a number of patient cases and discuss the range of restorative opportunities available, and their use in developing predictable and personalised management regimes for patients.

Learning Outcomes

  • Examining and assessing the patient to determine risks and needs, and what matters most for both the patient and the clinician.
  • Undertaking personalised restorative management strategies and determining which approach best suits the individual patient in achieving predictable long-term outcomes.
  • Evaluating a range of minimally invasive options aimed at preserving and maintaining the patient’s dentition, particularly for restoring compromised, extensively broken-down, and worn teeth.
  • Understanding and appreciating the expectations and limitations of contemporary restorative materials and techniques, and how to select the appropriate strategy for each case.
  • Developing maintenance protocols to support ongoing oral health and enhance restoration longevity.

Risk Factors Around Dental Caries in Children and Young Adults

3 Part Mini-Series

This addition to the DAN journal club shows how one research question can be tackled using quite different approaches, with each of those having its own strengths and weaknesses. This provides an insight into the point that every type of study comes with a particular lens that it applies, which influences the interpretation of its findings.

The 3 videos explore risk factors around dental caries in children and young adults. The papers used are all recent open access papers from the Journal of Dental Research. Each video runs for 20-30 minutes.

The first study uses data from a longitudinal Australian study to make predictions about the impact of dietary sugar restrictions on caries in children. The second study is from the UK, and explores the impact of the UK sugar tax on sugar-sweetened soft drinks in terms of reductions in hospitalisations for GA treatment of severe caries in children and young adults. Third study is from the USA, and uses "big data" from the US NHANES study and AI tools to look into the impact of social disadvantage on caries risk.
