Modern Caries Detection without X-rays and Explorers NEW!
In this course, Dr. Solomon will examine the clinical application of near-infrared transillumination and fluorescence imaging to enhance diagnostic accuracy in caries detection. Participants will learn how these technologies aid in the identification of interproximal and posterior carious lesions, particularly in patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo traditional radiographic examination.
The program will also address how advanced intraoral imaging improves visualization for treatment planning and supports patient communication and case acceptance. Additionally, the course reviews the role of early caries detection in non-invasive and minimally invasive caries management strategies for everyday general practice.
