Current Objectives:

·         Understand evidence-based recommendations for non-restorative caries management including the use           of caries risk assessment to inform clinical decision making

·        Understand the efficacy of fluoride use (e.g., amount, concentration, frequency, post use behaviors, etc)           to prevent and arrest caries lesions in primary and permanent teeth

·         Compare and contrast different fluoride strategies (at home and professionally applied)

·        Understand non-fluoride strategies for caries control (including sealants, polyols, antimicrobials, pre and probiotics, and calcium-based strategies)
