Course Description

Advances in dental hygiene materials and diagnostic technologies have transformed preventive care—enhancing patient comfort, improving clinical efficiency, and supporting better long-term outcomes. In particular, innovations in fluoride varnish formulations now provide superior caries protection and desensitization while offering a cleaner, more pleasant post-treatment feel compared to traditional tacky or gritty varnishes.

Building on these developments, Dr. Solomon will also explore how AI caries detection tools and streamlined clinical workflows can improve efficiency during recall exams for children and teens. He will share practical strategies and chairside tips that help clinicians manage high patient volumes with ease, while maintaining accuracy, patient satisfaction, and profitability.
