Allen Wong, DDS, EdDThis continuing dental education course is divided into three 4-hour segments and will be presentedover a period of three half-days in conjunction with the travel schedule for this program. Individualsmust register for the continuing education portion of this program separately from the travel por-tion of the trip.

PROGRAM 1: The Medical-Dental Connection

Over the past decade, scientific research has deepened our understanding of the oral systemicrelationship. The 2000 Surgeon General’s report emphasized that people need to have oralhealth in order to have complete health. As a dental team, we have the opportunity to improveour patient’s overall health by educating them on these medical relationships. In addition, alldental practices have patients of varying health. The population of patients who are medicallycompromised and who have special needs is dramatically increasing. We will review the mostrecent information on treating medically compromised patients and offer suggestions to workingwith their physicians. We will also explore the new paradigm of dental and medical risk assess-ment.

You will learn:1. The most recent information from the medical literature on oral systemic connections, in-

cluding cardiovascular disease, pregnancy complications, diabetes and more 2. Cariology from a medical perspective 3. Medical risk and dental risk assessment considerations, particularly in medically compro-

mised patients

Program 2: Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) - Understandingand Incorporating CAMBRA Into Your Practice

Interest in Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) is growing worldwide, and the ap-proach is now incorporated in most dental schools’ curriculum. Caries risk assessment is a newparadigm that focuses on minimally invasive strategies that emphasize oral biofilm, demineraliza-tion, and remineralization as key to controlling the caries disease process.

You will learn:1. The concepts of CAMBRA, testing methods and treatment strategies 2. Evidenced-based literature on minimally invasive approaches.

3. How to demystify products and focus on effectiveness 4. How to develop your CAMBRA team

Program 3: CAMBRA: Treatment Planning and Treatment Options

Once a person is diagnosed with high caries risk, then what? Why do some people get recurrentcaries disease and others do not? What is the most appropriate treatment material? The strate-gies of treatment planning and options will be reviewed. We will emphasize treatment planningfor longevity of restorations and using a minimally invasive approach.

You will learn:1. Treatment planning with a strong emphasis on prevention and preservation of tooth

structure 2. Rationale of Modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique 3. Reinforcing remineralization strategy in a practical way 4. Proper use of Glass ionomer restorative materials 5. Access to dental care, dental missions, and CAMBRA

China is a land of history and refinement unparalleled in the world. Attentive visitors are immersed in a sea of visual and cultural experiences unlike any other they may have had elsewhere. Each geographic area in China teems with its own identity as an energetic variation on the great theme of Chinese civilization. You will be amazed at how regions differ vastly yet express similar values and ideas.

This journey begins in Shanghai, China’s most populous city and economic powerhouse. The European Bund still retains the glamour of the colonial era; modern western pubs and bars and boutiques scatter all around the center of Shanghai. Visit the traditional Yuyuan Garden and spend some time exploring Shanghai Museum, the best in China.

and explore the Terracotta Warriors Museum in homage to Qinshihuang. It is considered China’s preeminent archaeological discovery. Tour other important historic sites in the ancient Tang Dynasty capital.
