Recognize current concepts in dental caries, dental erosion, dentin hypersensitivity and periodontal disease. A major emphasis is given to the changes in paradigms and treatments trends recently occurring in the cariology field. Topics included are: contributing factors to dental caries (historical and present perspectives), role of oral biofilms, caries diagnostic, caries management, role of fluoride, role of calcium and phosphate, contributing factors to dental erosion and dentin hypersensitivity, role of inflammatory response in periodontal disease.
Learning Objectives:
• Recognize changes in caries concepts and how those changes have affected caries treatment trends
• Identify caries risk factors such as unbalanced diet, poor exposure to fluoride, poor saliva and a cariogenic biofilm
• Know caries diagnosis methods for early caries detection and early intervention
• Discuss the role of fluoride and calcium and phosphate in the remineralization process of the tooth
• Describe the main factors associated with dental erosion and dentin hypersensitivity
• Recognize the role of the inflammatory response in periodontal

Vanish 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish
The tri-calcium phosphate ingredient, which is exclusive to 3M ESPE, uses an innovative technology customized to work with Vanish white varnish to deliver fluoride, phosphate, and calcium— key ingredients for building strong teeth.
Vanish white varnish with TCP flows and doesn’t harden or stop where applied. The varnish beneath the surface layer remains fluid for a long period of time, and continues to flow from treated to untreated tooth surfaces. Thanks to its ability to flow across and between teeth, Vanish white varnish with TCP allows more varnish to reach more tooth surfaces, making increased amounts of fluoride available.
The first to incorporate this tri-calcium phosphate ingredient into a varnish, 3M ESPE has made Vanish white varnish with TCP easy to use. With Vanish white varnish with TCP, no pretreatment is necessary; teeth to be treated only need to be “toothbrush clean” prior to application. The product is swept on in 1 simple coat, and treatment is completed in seconds.
Vanish white varnish with TCP is available in cherry, melon, or mint flavors, and is sweetened with xylitol. A truly patient-friendly varnish, Vanish white varnish with TCP allows patients to eat and drink immediately following application.
