Course Description

This course explores modern strategies for identifying and managing early caries lesions using a minimally invasive approach. Participants will learn how technologies such as AI assisted imaging and remineralization therapies can help clinicians diagnose early decay sooner, intervene proactively, and support the regeneration of enamel.

The course also reviews clinical application protocols, team integration, and effective patient communication techniques that help patients better understand preventive treatment options and feel confident moving forward with care.

By treating areas that were previously placed in a “watch” category, practices can provide earlier intervention, create new treatment opportunities, and increase practice revenue while improving patient satisfaction through more conservative, preventive care.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the importance of early intervention for incipient caries lesions and shift from a watch and wait mindset to a proactive, minimally invasive treatment philosophy
  • Demonstrate proper clinical application techniques for Curodont, including case selection, tooth preparation, and step by step delivery of the product
  • Identify the roles of different dental team members in integrating remineralization therapy into routine patient care and preventive workflows
  • Recognize how artificial intelligence can assist in identifying early caries lesions on radiographs and support earlier, minimally invasive intervention
  • Develop effective patient communication strategies, including the use of visual tools and AI assisted imaging, to help patients understand early decay, increase case acceptance, and build trust in preventive dentistry.
