”I’m not quite healthy, but not quite a cavity: understanding the vast continuum that separates healthy enamel on one side from a lesion in need of a drill and fill on the other”
With Dr. Ankur Gupta
Course Description:
Advances in imaging, lasers, and artificial intelligence have made it much easier to identify incipient enamel lesions way before they become frank cavitation requiring invasive interventions, usually involving an injection, a drill, and a costly restoration. These innovations have demonstrated to both dentists and their patients numerous small inter proximal or marginal areas of concern, but there has never been much consensus about what to do at that point. Fortunately, advances in preventative treatment have been just as impressive and innovative as the advances in diagnostic tools. In this highly pragmatic and entertaining presentation, Dr. Gupta introduces the numerous preventative strategies, when to use them and how to properly implement them in your already busy and productive clinical operation.
Course objectives:
At the conclusion of this course the participant will be able to:
Discover the extremely diverse offerings of topical preventative fluoride and silver diamide fluoride, and what the most appropriate clinical situations are for each
Learn about how AI radiology interpretation is a must-have for any cutting edge clinical environment
Discover the most up to date research about the best possible home care regimen (this one will surprise you)
About the presenter:
Ankur A Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became un-predictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self; attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement. More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better. Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE certified provider
