Brush-on Breakthroughs! Explore the latest advancements in paint-on technologies that are transforming the landscape of minimally invasive dentistry. These innovative solutions for preventing, detecting, and managing dental caries, provide alternatives to traditional restorative methods. Cutting-edge materials, such as optical caries detection aids, povidone iodine, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), and chemomechanical caries removal (CMRC), offer unique advantages in managing early dental caries and preserving tooth structure while minimizing discomfort and intervention. Participants will gain a practical insight of how these products work, when to use them, and how they can be integrated into daily dental practice to enhance patient outcomes and clinical efficiency.
 

In this webinar you will:

  • Explain the concept of minimally invasive dentistry and how paint-on technologies fit within this paradigm for caries detection, prevention, and management.
  • Understand the mechanism of action for each paint-on technology and its role in remineralization, caries arrest, and prevention.
  • Learn proper application techniques for each technology, focusing on safe and effective clinical protocols.
  • Evaluate the evidence-based benefits and limitations of each technology in the context of patient care, treatment outcomes, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Integrate paint-on technologies into clinical practice, enhancing minimally invasive approaches for early caries management, prevention, and patient education.
