The morning session will consist of lectures covering minimally invasive dentistry including tooth whitening and the afternoon practical will include minimally invasive dentistry, silver diamine fluoride, ozone uses, the latest methods for caries removal, use of GIC's, adhesives and composites.

Course Outcome

On completion of this day, the delegate will be able to have understanding of the principles of minimal invasive dentistry:

• Minimally Invasive dentistry techniques for the 21st Century - theory and hands on using the latest new procedures and instruments for modern day adhesive dentistry
• Adhesives, Composite resins, Glass ionomer cements
• Pulp capping
• Learn the latest methods and research with tooth whitening
• Learn the latest methods and research with silver diamine fluoride 
• Comprehensively detect and diagnose carious lesions (occlusal caries, proximal or smooth surface lesions. Electrical conductance, quantitative laser fluorescence, laser fluorescence)
• Apply effective treatment to identified carious lesions (remineralisation and pH, adjustment of oral environment. Air abrasion. Cavitation. Minimal cavity designs. Adhesive materials such as glass ionomer cements (GIC’s). Resin based composites/dentine bonding agents. Lamination. Tunnel/internal/minibox/slot preparations.)
• Monitor those patients given minimal invasive surgery and evaluate (portfolio of patients, their needs vs treatments, outcomes, corrective/further treatments.)
