Pediatric Dentistry Evolution. Cariesology: diagnostics, risk assessment, non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment

- Dental caries: a behavioral disease- Caries detection. Сaries diagnosis- Caries risk assessment: is there a place in daily practice?- Clinical management of initial carious lesions- Non-invasive x micro-invasive interventions

In the past, dental caries was defined as an infectious transmissible disease, which is nowadays a concept considerate outdated and incorrect. Currently, dental caries is being described as a disbiose of the biofilm, mediated by behavioral components. This understanding had a direct impact on how the signs of the disease (carious lesions) are diagnosed and managed. Therefore, this course aims to introduce these new concepts, and, by means of scientific evidence and clinical cases, to demonstrate how they can be applied in daily practice.
