HANDS-ON Workshop: Pulp and What?: Treatment Options for the Primary Molar
Saturday, April 13
2 - 5 PM
3 CDE Credits – DDS
ABOUT THE COURSE
When confronted with a bombed out primary tooth, which way to turn: ext or resto? You treat mega adult cases with implants and prostheses, but you're scared of a baby tooth attached to a five-year-old. This workshop reviews and practices skills in pulp therapy, esthetic resorations and, if all else fails, space maintenance. Treatment is performed on typodonts with primary teeth with pulps. A chairside band and loop space maintainer will also be practiced.
This session will enable participants to:
- Identify the different options for pulp therapy in primary teeth.
- Using the theories of bonding and primary teeth, restore a tooth with an esthetic restoration.
- Practice placing a stainless steel crown.
- Up their skills in a chairside one-step space maintainer.
