Abstract:

This course is designed to equip general dentists and paediatric dentists with the essential knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality dental care for children and adolescents. Participants will master advanced restorative techniques, including the use of composite and glass ionomer cements, in various clinical situations through a combination of lectures and hands-on practical sessions.

Introduction:

Participants will master advanced restorative techniques, including the use of composite and glass ionomer cements, fragment reattachment, SMART technique, preventive restorative resin, and pit and fissure sealants. The course combines informative lectures with hands-on practical sessions, ensuring a thorough understanding of both theoretical concepts and their practical applications.
The lectures will cover the latest advancements and evidence-based practices in paediatric dentistry, providing participants with a solid theoretical foundation. In the hands-on sessions, participants will apply these techniques in a controlled, supervised environment, allowing them to gain confidence and competence.

By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of when and how to effectively implement these advanced restorative techniques to improve the oral health of their young patients. This training ensures that both general dentists and paediatric specialists are well-prepared to meet the dental needs of children and adolescents, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and promoting long-term oral health.

Learning Objectives:

• Manage different types of dental trauma
