Winning the Race Between Enamel Remineralization and Demineralization in Children’s Smiles
Join an exciting live webinar, brought to you by Haleon/CAPP ,This webinar, will breaks down the science of enamel de- and remineralization . We will explore the chemistry of the caries process as it specifically applies to the developing dentition and what are the latest evidence tells us about fluoride's topical mechanisms. Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: Describe the physiological process of enamel demineralization and remineralization and explain how the balance between these processes determines caries risk in children. Identify the key biological, dietary, and behavioural factors that shift the oral environment toward net demineralization in the paediatric patient.
Explain the evidence-based mechanisms of action of fluoride (topical fluoride varnish, fluoridated toothpaste, fluoridated water) in supporting enamel remineralization and inhibiting acid attack. Compare the remineralizing properties of fluoride with emerging alternatives such as hydroxyapatite and silver diamine fluoride, and identify appropriate clinical indications for each. Communicate the de/remineralization concept effectively to parents and caregivers to support preventive behaviour change at home.
