Revolutionizing Pediatric Dentistry: A Journey from the 80s materials to Bioactive materials
NO VITAL PULP THERAPY FOR DECIDUOUS TEETH! NO MORE PULPECTOMY!
Embark on an enlightening journey through the evolution of pediatric dentistry with Dr. Rocio Lazo Navarro, as we travel from the conventional practices of the 1980s to the cutting-edge advancements of today. In this lecture, we’ll explore the pivotal shift towards Minimally Invasive Dentistry, a paradigm where the dreaded dental drill and anesthesia are replaced by selective biomechanical removal techniques to treat caries in enamel and dentin, preserving the vitality of young smiles.
Participants will learn how reversible pulpitis is approached with bioactive materials, significantly reducing the need for unnecessary pulpotomies and boasting a 100% success rate in indirect and direct pulp capping.
We’ll delve into the innovative strategies for preserving permanent teeth, utilizing Vital Pulp Therapy to avoid unnecessary endodontic treatments.
