2 Health and appearance conscious Appearance The Public has concerns about: Metals Patients are more knowledgeable than ever We must listen more to our patients 2

3 We must provide alternatives for our patients but the right alternatives Minimally Invasive Dentistry CAMBRA Conservative approach Ideal treatment is no treatment necessary Remove only diseased portion of tooth Preserve healthy tooth structure for future restorative needs stands for CARIES MANAGEMENT BY RISK ASSESSMENT Tooth Decay Caries Tooth decay is the destruction of tooth enamel. It occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. Over a period of time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay. Caries is a point in a persons life at which the process of demineralization of tooth structure by acid from bacteria in the tooth biofilm overwhelms the patient s ability to remineralize tooth structure.

4 Caries-Important Points Caries-Important Points Caries is a bacterial infection caused by specific acidogenic bacteria in tooth biofilm. These bacteria are indigenous to humans. There are known cariogenic bacteria present in saliva. Most commonly cited are Strep mutans, Strep sobrinus, Lactobacillus, and Actinomyces. These bacteria are acidogenic (acid producing) and aciduric (survive in an acidic environment). They produce lactic, acetic, formic and propionic acids. Caries is a transmissible infection. Studies have shown that certain strains of Strep mutans are transmitted from mother to child. Early colonization, even before the teeth erupt, can occur in infants by transmission from mothers and caregivers. Transmission from child to child and adult to adult of Strep mutans have been reported. Children who have been colonized earlier have been shown to have more decay later. Featherstone J. The Caries Balance. Dimensions Dent Hyg. 2004;2(2): Berkowitz RJ. Acquisition and transmission of mutans streptococci. J Calif Dent Assoc. 2003;3: Caries-Important Points Demin/Remin Caries is a multifactorial process of tooth demineralization and remineralization which, until cavitation, is reversible. This progression is determined by the balance between pathological factors and protective factors. Pathological factors include acid-producing bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates, and reduced salivary function. Protective factors include salivary components, fluoride together with calcium and phosphate to remineralize the lesion, and antibacterial therapy.

5 Caries Activity Caries Risk Traditional Surgical Model Medical Model Paradigm shift Surgical Model-Wait until cavitation occurs and surgically remove Medical Model-Attempt to influence patient to change oral environment to prevent caries 2002 FDI POLICY STATEMENT The FDI World Dental Federation supports the principles of minimal intervention dentistry in the management of dental caries. The Principles are: 5

6 1. Modification of the Oral Flora to Favor Health Dental caries is an infectious disease, and the primary focus should therefore be on control of the infection, plaque control and reduced carbohydrate intake. Bacteria Poor Oral Hygiene Dexterity Flossing Frustration Older adults may have a difficult time Bacteria-Removal Removes biofilm Bacteria-Removal Compensates for poor technique Sonicare Diet Loss of Taste results in increased sugar intake 2. Patient Education and Informed Participation The etiology of dental caries should be explained to the patient, together with the means of prevention through dietary and oral hygiene measures. 6

8 Prevalence of Xerostomia Xerostomia-Questions to Ask Another study states that dry mouth impacts 30% of the elderly. Ship JA, Pillemer SR, Baum BJ. Xerostomia and the geriatric patient. J Am Geriatr Soc.2002;50: ;50: Do you have any difficulty swallowing? Does your mouth feel dry when eating a meal? Do you sip liquids to help in swallowing dry food? Does the amount of saliva in your mouth seem to be little, too much, or do you notice?

9 Test One-Hydration 1. Roll back bottom lip 2. Dab dry with gauze 3. Timer starts 4. Look for bubbles of saliva forming at outlets from the minor saliva glands 5. At 60 seconds check with a tissue Measures unstimulated saliva from minor salivary glands Test Two-Viscosity 1. Observe the consistency of saliva (watery, bubbly, frothy, stringy??) Measures quality of saliva-serous vs mucous(poor buffer) Test Three-pH Test Four-Quantity 1. Expectorate some resting saliva into the plastic cup. 2. Test the ph using the ph strips 1. Chew the unflavoured gum for 5 minutes, collecting the stimulated saliva in the measuring cup 2. Discard the gum once finished 3. Record amount of saliva collected Volume of Saliva <3.5 ml ml >5.0 ml Value very low low normal Measures ph of stimulated saliva Measures stimulated saliva from major salivary glands Test Five-Buffering Record and analyze results 1. Using the pipette dispense 1 drop of saliva on each of the 3 squares ensuring the entire surface is covered by saliva 2. Invert buffer strip so excess saliva is absorbed into the underlying tissue 3. Read results after 5 mins. Green = 4 points Blue = 2 points Red = Combined total Buffering ability very low low 0 points Normal/hi gh Measures bicarbonate level of stimulated saliva 9

There is strong evidence that white spot lesions of enamel and non-cavitated lesions of dentin can be arrested or reversed. Such lesions should therefore be managed initially by remineralization techniques. The extent of the lesion should be objectively recorded such that any progression can be identified at recall.

13 MI Varnish Application MI Varnish Mechanisms Place after prophy but not mandatory Dry teeth before applying Do not brush or floss for 4 hours Avoid hard, hot, sticky foods and alcohol containing products for 4 hours Do not use fluoride for 24 hours No water so it does not precipitate Ca allowing for longer retention Greater amount of fluoride in saliva Highest amount of fluoride uptake is in demineralized areas Fluoride effects are present 1-7 days 4. Minimal operative intervention of cavitated lesions An operative ( surgical ) approach should only be used when specifically indicated, e.g., when cavitation is such that the lesion cannot be arrested, or when there are aesthetic or functional requirements. Operative intervention should focus on the preservation of natural tooth structure and be limited to the removal of friable enamel and infected dentin. This can be done with hand, rotary, sonic, ultrasonic, air abrasive or laser instruments, depending on the circumstances. Each prepared cavity is therefore unique, and is primarily dependent on the extent of infected dentin rather than on a predetermined cavity design. Preparation of minimal cavities enables their restoration with adhesive materials such as glass-ionomer cement and/or resin composite. Some studies suggest that glass-ionomer cement may aid in the remineralization of demineralized, firm, non-infected dentin; however, further clinical studies are needed.

49 Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Uses Liner or Base Class V Restorations Restoration Under Crown Temporary prior to crown Sandwich technique Cements Resin-Modified Glass Ionomers-Advantages Better retention 37 pairs of caries-free unprepared abfraction lesions were treated with resin modified and resin composite restorations (single bottle total etch dba). Retention of the composite restorations at six months was below the minimum specified in the ADA Acceptance Program for Dentin and Enamel Adhesives. At two years retention was 96% for the resin-modified glass ionomer and 81% for the resin composite. The resin composite restorations generally had a better appearance, with a 100% alpha rating in color match, versus 85% for the resin-modified glass ionomer.
