Restorative Considerations, Pulp Therapy and the Use of Stainless Steel CrownsPresented by Dr Kareen Mekertichian, Dr Sally Hibbert and Dr Rebecca EggersPaediatric Dentistry Hands-on Workshop The pattern of dental disease has changed considerably over the last decade, with an apparent increase in the rate of decay in specific high-risk children. Re-discover valuable treatment options and techniques in dealing with the challenges of successful pulp therapy and the restoration of compromised teeth. Management of the pulpally involved primary tooth and adequate restorations poses considerable challenges for clinicians involved in the care of the child patient. Considerations relating to patient selection, patient management, material selection and restorative options influence predictability and success in this difficult field. The use of pre-fabricated crowns provides the optimal and most successful form of restoration for compromised teeth - whether resulting from carious and pulpal breakdown, or relating to developmental defects of tooth structure. This hands-on program will expose participants to a biological and systematic approach to determining appropriate pulp therapy options for primary teeth including restorative techniques involving placement of stainless steel crowns (SSC) on replica teeth and extracted teeth.
