Abstract

Join an exciting live webinar, brought to you by Haleon/CAPP ,This webinar, will breaks down the science of enamel de- and remineralization . We will explore the chemistry of the caries process as it specifically applies to the developing dentition and what are the latest evidence tells us about fluoride's topical mechanisms. 

Learning Objectives

• Describe the physiological process of enamel demineralization and remineralization and explain how the balance between these processes determines caries risk in children. 
• Identify the key biological, dietary, and behavioural factors that shift the oral environment toward net demineralization in the paediatric patient. 
• Explain the evidence-based mechanisms of action of fluoride (topical fluoride varnish, fluoridated toothpaste, fluoridated water) in supporting enamel remineralization and inhibiting acid attack. 
• Compare the remineralizing properties of fluoride with emerging alternatives such as hydroxyapatite and silver diamine fluoride, and identify appropriate clinical indications for each. 
• Communicate the de/remineralization concept effectively to parents and caregivers to support preventive behaviour change at home.
