Minimally invasive restorations in the aging dentition
Scientific Programme (On Demand)
Session Description
Minimally invasive restorations in the aging dentition
It is acknowledged that populations are ageing and keeping their natural teeth longer, and there is an increasing expectation by patients that they will retain their natural dentition into their senior years. Individualized, minimally invasive restorative management protocols that take into consideration the persons abilities and tolerance and are less invasive and less costly provide pragmatic and practical outcomes. This presentation will focus on the preservation and restoration of tooth structure and how we can assist our patients to retain, and where necessary, restore their teeth to ensure an ongoing healthy, functional and aesthetic dentition.

Learning Objectives
- Assessing and understanding the oral health needs of the ageing patient.
- Reviewing the oral environment and physiological changes associated with ageing.
- Analysis of exposed root surfaces and root surface caries and associated management strategies.
- Identifying minimally invasive restorative interventions for the ageing patient.
- Evaluating the apparently hopeless tooth and options for management.
