Primary Dentition Workshop
Topics
 Professor Kerrod Hallett—MID approach to management of dental caries
Despite significant advances in our understanding of both the biological and sociobehavioural determinants of childhood diseases, early childhood caries (ECC) remains a
significant health issue for many preschool children. ECC is often well established in the
first few years of life and is generally the result of poor diet and inappropriate infant
feeding practice. A conceptual model for ECC as a disease of lifestyle rather than a
disease of the teeth in isolation will be proposed. Effective management strategies
require both parental understanding and professional risk analysis in the home setting
combined with traditional preventive measures such as remineralisation and
antimicrobial therapies.
 Dr Narisha Chawla –Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy
Proximal carious lesions in primary molars are difficult to detect in the early stages;
often the first sign is cavitation. Histological studies have shown that by this stage,
pulpal inflammatory changes are likely present, particularly in first primary molars.
This often necessitates pulp treatment. A comprehensive clinical examination and
diagnostic radiographs, along with thorough history-taking from the parent and the
child, can help to determine the status of the pulp and thus the most appropriate
treatment. The aim of pulp therapy in the primary dentition is to retain the tooth until
exfoliation. Once decision is made to retain the tooth, the options for pulp treatment
include pulpotomy and pulpectomy.
 Dr Mala Desai—Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns may be indicated as an interim restorative treatment option in
permanent molars where there has been significant breakdown of the crown and
pulpal sensitivity e.g. hypoplastic first permanent molars. The procedure is more
complex than for primary crowns but the results are again reliable and predictable.
Case selection through appropriate diagnosis is essential to the long term success of
the procedures. In this practical and informative program, participants will be exposed
to a background on the types of stainless steel crowns as well as indications and clinical
techniques for the placement of stainless steel crowns. Hands on experience in
restorative techniques involving placement of stainless steel crowns on replica teeth
will be a key component in the course.
