Tooth Decay in Children

Course Leader: Katrien Versteeg Dental Caries in Children: Hands-on Training with the Hall Technique, NRC, and More—Practical Training in Pediatric Dentistry for Dentists. Dental caries in children is one of the most common challenges in pediatric dentistry. It requires a careful, child-friendly, and minimally invasive approach, with a focus on both the child’s comfort and the preservation of their teeth. The primary goal in pediatric dentistry when treating caries in primary molars is to treat or keep the child pain-free, using the least invasive approach possible. About this pediatric dentistry course During this hands-on pediatric dentistry course, you will learn evidence-based and practice-oriented techniques for treating caries in primary teeth. The following treatment methods will be covered in detail: Hall Technique, Non-Restorative Cavity Treatment (NRC), Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART), and Conventional Restoration (CR). The Hall Technique and NRC are particularly well-suited for pediatric dentistry because they can be performed without anesthesia and take only a short time. This lowers the barrier for young patients and significantly reduces the risk of a negative or traumatic experience. In addition, you will also learn the ART and CR techniques, with a focus on minimally invasive dentistry for primary molars when restoration is necessary.
