February 14 Cariology and Radiography Course Info and Handout
CODEPENDENT CARIOLOGY with Dr. Brian Novy 10am-noon, 1pm-3pm (4CE)
Depriving cariogenic bacteria of sugar is the cornerstone of traditional caries management, yet the
science of CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment) takes cariology to a whole new level.
If you’re still telling patients to, “Brush, floss, and use fluoride toothpaste” you’re going to be surprised by the myriad of treatment options available today. Streptococcus mutans has more to fear than stronger fluoride and more of it, as dentistry embraces oral healthcare..
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
• Identify risk factors leading to caries
• Explain the role of commensals
• Implement disease management in practice
• Prolong the life of restorations in all patients
