Advances in the Treatment of Highly Carious and Severely Hypoplastic Permanent Posterior Teeth
Presenter: Dr. Joshua Solomon CE Supporter: SDI
For many decades, the treatment options for highly carious and/or hypoplastic permanent posterior teeth have been either large amalgam buildups, multi-surface composites or stainless-steel crowns. Most pediatric dentists or general dentists that treat children and teens know that large amalgam or composite restorations will leak or fracture at a high rate. Thus, the highly unaesthetic stainless-steel crown was the chosen restorative option.
Today, there are a wide range of treatment options including non-invasive, low-cost treatments such as SDF as well as self-cure, highly esthetic composite-based restorative materials that are incredibly easy to use. This CE webinar will focus on giving patients a wide range of treatment options from immediate, low cost to highly esthetic, long-lasting stainless-steel crown alternatives.

In addition, information will be provided on how to conduct a detailed HIPAA Audit of your facility, to quickly see where you are in compliance and where you are not. In addition to being a requirement, the audit will dramatically reduce the liability of your business.
The conventional “watch-and-wait” philosophy for caries management has become increasingly obsolete in clinical practice. Contemporary dentistry demands a proactive paradigm that leverages advanced preventive and therapeutic modalities to mitigate disease progression. Passive observation of early carious lesions exposes patients to the risk of untreated progression and potential tooth loss. Current best practices advocate for interventions that prioritize prevention and early management, utilizing evidence-based protocols such as silver diamine fluoride. These approaches enable immediate response when caries is detected, arresting lesions and optimizing patient outcomes. For individuals at elevated risk, the critical question shifts to identifying which preventive strategies—beyond traditional diagnostics or age-based recommendations—will offer the most robust protection. The future of caries care is personalized, risk-based, and tailored to each patient’s unique clinical needs, guided by individual risk factors rather than generalized guidelines or insurance limitations.
In a fast-paced and ever-evolving work environment, well-maintained Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are critical to ensuring consistency, efficiency, and resilience. This CE webinar equips teams with the tools and strategies needed to evaluate, update, and manage SOPs effectively—ensuring they are clear, accessible, and aligned with current workflows.
Through real-world examples and collaborative exercises, this course empowers participants to identify gaps, implement improvements, and foster a culture of preparedness and knowledge sharing.
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) affects your quality of life and your overall health. The ability to safely swallow is vital for adequate nutrition and hydration, and it prevents foods and liquids from entering your lungs, where they can cause pneumonia. Depending on which part of the swallowing process is affected, dysphagia can be described as:
• Oral dysphagia — when the problem is in the mouth, usually due to the movement of the tongue
• Pharyngeal or oropharyngeal dysphagia — when the problem is regarding food passing through the throat
• Esophageal dysphagia — when food is unable to move down through the esophagus
Swallowing disorders can lead to tooth decay and other oral health issues if they cause food or liquid to remain in the mouth. This can increase the risk of cavities and other oral diseases.
