About the Course

Course Contents

Course Description

For decades, when patients presented with high caries risk or poor oral hygiene, many clinicians defaulted to a “scold them” approach—encouraging better brushing, reduced sugar intake, more flossing, fluoride rinses, additional restorations, and more frequent dental visits. While this approach has some benefits, its overall effectiveness is difficult to defend.

At the same time, the past 50 years have brought technological advancements that have transformed nearly every aspect of our lives. Dentistry—particularly how we screen, diagnose, treat, and counsel patients—should be no exception. In this highly informative and engaging one-hour webinar, Dr. Gupta explores emerging technologies that clinicians should consider incorporating into care for patients at elevated caries risk.

Learning Objectives

  • Discover new methods for detecting cariogenic lesions without relying on radiographs or explorers
  • Learn techniques to mitigate and reverse cariogenic lesions without the use of drills or syringes
  • Explore at-home solutions, particularly for patients who are skeptical of traditional treatments such as fluoride
  • Examine the long-term implications of conventional dental interventions for incipient interproximal lesions

Meet the Instructor

Ankur Gupta, DDS

Ankur A Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became unpredictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement.

More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution-oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.

Dr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland, Ohio, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry. In addition to founding North Ridgeville Family Dentistry, Dr. Gupta is a member of the American Dental Association, Greater Cleveland Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, ADA Success Speaker Corp, and an active board member and speaker for Catapult Education’s Speaker Bureau. Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE-certified provider.
