Description
Course Summary: This course will review the most common genetics and environmental causes of developmental defects of teeth and enamel. The diagnoses, etiology and clinical appearance, and treatment considerations will be discussed to provide practitioners practical information used to treat manage patients. Clinical conditions to be presented will include molar hypo mineralization, amelogenesis imperfecta, fluorosis and other dental anomalies that challenge clinicians. Therapies presented will include esthetic approaches using bleaching, resin infusion, micro abrasion and restorative approaches to address esthetics, dental sensitivity and tooth structure loss secondary to caries, wear and tooth fracturing. The rationale for using different approaches with different clinical presentations will be discussed and the evidence available to support treatment approaches will be reviewed. The use of digital workflows for restoring complex cases in the mixed and early permanent dentition will be presented.

-
Understand the rationale for selecting specific treatment approaches to manage developmental defects of teeth
