I Can’t Take All This Science!
February 27 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
Remineralization used to be as simple as “put some fluoride on it!” But is the array of products available today claiming “remineralization” pushing the limits of oral healthcare? In a clinical world of dry mouth and acidic beverages, perhaps we’re putting too much faith in an antiquated understanding of what happens on the surface of a tooth. The science of reversing demineralization can be summarized easily, but clinicians would be wise to realize it takes more than an electronegative anion to rebuild the strongest biological substance on earth. How far can we push chemistry before accepting biochemistry makes more sense, and what could go horribly wrong?
At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to:
• Integrate remineralization into chairside conversations
• Differentiate between various anionic formulations that can affect caries
• Improve oral health IQ and guide patients towards oral health
• Transition patients to lower risk with topical therapeutics
