This webinar will provide an overview of the principlesfor the minimally invasive (MI) management of patients with deep cariouslesions and offer an exciting opportunity for primary care practitioners(dentists and therapists) to get involved in collecting clinical evidence aspart of a national NIHR-funded primary care clinical trial.
Aims and Objectives
This webinar will summarise the scientific and clinical evidence underpinning the latest concepts behind the minimally invasive operative management of deep carious lesions and will include:
- An overview on the conventional management of deep carious lesions
- An explanation of the principles behind selective caries removal and hard tissue / pulp preservation
- A summary of the clinical research supporting MI operative caries management
- An outline of the current NIHR-funded national UK clinical trial for Selective Caries Removal in Permanent Teeth (SCRiPT)
- Team participation details for the SCRiPT clinical trial
By the end of this lecture delegates will be able to enhance patient care by understanding the contemporary management of deep carious lesions and get involved with practice-based clinical research. This lecture meets the criteria for
category A, B, C and D of the GDC’s development outcomes for enhanced CPD(maintenance and development of knowledge and skill within your field of practice). This webinar is suitable for all members of the oral healthcare team, including dentists, therapists, dental nurses and practice managers.
