Depriving cariogenic bacteria of sugar is the cornerstone of traditional caries management, yet the science of CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment) takes cariology to a whole new level. If you’re still telling patients to, “Brush, floss, and use fluoride toothpaste,” you’re going to be surprised by the myriad of treatment modalities available today.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the role of commensal bacteria.
  • Characterize biofilm to more accurately predict caries risk.
  • Modify the oral environment to encourage the growth of commensals.
  • Prolong the life of restorations in all patients.
