The topics reviewed in this continuing education course include:  normal oral structures; common oral conditions; eruption patterns; dental caries and prevention; nonsurgical caries management options and orofacial trauma.  Upon completion of this course the user will better understand appropriate evaluation, treatment, and preventive measures that should be instituted during infancy and continued on a regular basis to maintain optimal oral health.

A child's oral health is an integral part of overall health. Appropriate evaluation, treatment, and preventive measures should be instituted during infancy and continued on a regular basis to maintain optimal health. This presentation is designed to offer practical pediatric oral health information and has been developed in cooperation with the *American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry*.

Topics in this presentation include:

- Normal Oral Structures
- Common Oral Conditions
- Eruption Patterns
- Dental Caries and Prevention
- Orofacial Trauma

These topics were selected to provide the background necessary to offer advice on a variety of conditions and to encourage early referral to the pediatric dentist.

Smiles For Tomorrow

The purpose of this course is to provide a succinct and easy guide to help both clinicians and students understand and implement this (2018) classification system of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions in their practices.

The American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology held a World Workshop in 2017 to develop a new classification of periodontal disease to replace the almost 20-year old classification system (1999)1. The results of their efforts were unveiled in June of 2018 during the Europerio Conference held in Amsterdam, and concomitantly published in both the Journal of Periodontology2 and the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.3 Since its adoption, clinicians and educators worldwide have sought to improve understanding of the new classification system and its clinical implementation.

This course will provide an overview of  common oral mucosal entities, including their presentation, management and diagnosis. The primary goal of this course is to help dental professionals learn the process of clinical differential diagnosis of diseases and lesions of the oral mucosa. This course also includes both an interactive and downloadable decision tree to assist in the diagnosis.

Oral pathology is a visual specialty, and clinical images can facilitate your learning the clinical features of oral mucosal lesions. Several atlases are recommended in the Additional Resources section of this course. The textual material in this course is designed to be used with *“[The Oral Pathology Image Database (Atlas)](https://www.dentistry.uiowa.edu/oprm-atlas).”*

Please note that lesions or diseases discussed in the textual material that have clinical images available on *“The Oral Pathology Image Database”* are designated with *.

The purpose of the course is to provide an overview and guidelines for treating medically compromised patients. Each section will provide a definition of the disease or disorder and pertinent information related to that condition including any necessary modifications to dental treatment (e.g., local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, pre-medication, and medical consults). The conditions reviewed in this course are not intended to be all inclusive, and are provided as a supplement to the diseases which were presented in, “[Management of Patients with Chronic Diseases](https://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/ce-courses/ce567 "Management of Patients with Chronic Diseases")”. In addition, follow-up questions will be presented that should be asked when a positive response is indicated on the health history. This course is intended to be a helpful resource for oral healthcare students and professionals alike.

Medically Compromised Patient Care 

This course will introduce the principles of evidence-based dentistry, how to develop, critically evaluate and implement scientific evidence into day-to-day practice and apply these principles to making the right decisions when advising patients on effective self-care in caries and periodontal disease prevention.

As clinicians, we are responsible for implementing current evidence-based treatments. Therefore, it becomes critical that we understand what evidence-based practice really means. Not all evidence is created equal and not every conclusion of an article should be implemented. Critically interpreting evidence becomes a valuable part of the clinician’s responsibilities. This lecture will introduce the principles of evidence-based dentistry, how to develop, critically evaluate and implement scientific evidence into day-to-day practice and apply these principles to making the right decisions when advising patients on effective self-care in caries and periodontal disease prevention.

Evidence-based Dentistry – Why Do I Need That?

The purpose of this interactive course is to provide dental practitioners and students with an overview of hard tissue disease, factors that influence the disease process and evidence-based self-care prevention practices. This course includes patient cases as knowledge point checks.

Dental caries and dental erosion are global, prevalent issues that are largely preventable and can cause considerable pain, quality of life issues, esthetic challenges, or all. This module differentiates between caries and erosion by explaining their causes and development processes. It will then differentiate between strategies for prevention and optimal self-care.

To understand caries and erosion development, it’s necessary to understand the anatomy of teeth and their environment - genetics, and human protective factors within the oral environment and external factors at play and the complex system that works together to help stop caries and help prevent erosion.
