Type: Past Presentation  

Audience: Clinical  

Program: Oral Health ECHO Program  

Keywords: #caries  #dentistry  #mid  #minimally invasive dentistry  #oral health  

In this series of presentations, Dr. Sean Kelly, Dental Support Center Clinical Consultant at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, reviews Minimally Invasive Dentistry concepts, discuss patient caries risk assessments and their use for a “Prevention Plan”, reviews the literature for establishing patient dental recall appointment intervals, and identifies potential changes that affect caries risk and recall scheduling. Then, Dr. Joseph Churchill, Dental Director for the Lower Elwha Dental Clinic, discusses a de-identified case focused on early childhood caries.

The one-hour Oral Health ECHO virtual clinics offer clinicians an opportunity to present cases, receive recommendations from peers and an interprofessional team of specialists working in Indian Country, engage in a didactic presentation, obtain CDE, and become part of a learning community. Together, we will manage patient cases so that every patient gets the care they need.
