• Use safe radiation practices when diagnosing oral conditions
• Recognize pathologic conditions in the child patient
• Spot signs of child abuse and neglect
• Diagnose and manage orthodontic and orthopedic problems in growing children
• Discuss and apply therapeutic options for extensive traumatic dental injuries

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify the factors that promote oral conditions such as dental caries and gingival diseases
• Identify pathologic conditions in the child patient
• Apply safe radiation practices to the diagnosis of oral conditions
• Practice preventative oral health interventions
• Discuss and apply therapeutic options for increasingly invasive carious lesions in primary and young permanent teeth
• Discuss and apply therapeutic options for increasingly extensive traumatic injuries to the primary and permanent teeth
• Recognize the signs of child abuse and neglect
• Formulate and perform age-appropriate basic and advanced behavior guidance techniques
• Diagnose and manage problems of orthodontic and orthopedic origin in the growing child
• Manage oral heath interventions for patients with special health care needs

Intended Audience

The primary audience is the pediatric dentist interested in reviewing and updating concepts acquired during residency training and preparing for the oral board examination (ABPD OCE); and the general dentist wanting to enhance didactic and clinical knowledge in topics relevant to the care of the child patient.

Discover New Guidelines with Online CME

This online CME program — tailored to anesthesiologists who care for patients of all ages in ambulatory and inpatient settings — provides a general review of common pediatric anesthesia challenges, as well as clinical pearls and procedure-specific considerations for the young patient.

Led by University of Minnesota’s Jakob Guenther, MD, expert speakers in Comprehensive Review of Pediatric Anesthesiology discuss physiology, pharmacology, preoperative/postoperative considerations, congenital heart defects, pain control, airway management, and more.

Additional continuing medical education lectures focus on frequent procedures and anesthetic challenges associated with specific specialties (ENT, dental, neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, etc)

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Have a better overview about the differences in physiology, pharmacology and anatomy between adult and pediatric patients including more recent data and evidence for your daily practice, both for basic techniques of pediatric anesthesia, as well as procedure specific strategies
• Approach pediatric patients with a focus on their specific needs in the preoperative (anxiety, agitation), intraoperative (physiology, fluid requirements, airway management) and postoperative (emergence, PO(N)V, airway complication) setting
• Have guidance how to optimize anesthetic technique for common procedures and conditions
• Have more background information about invasive and complex procedures, conditions (congenital heart disease) and interventions. Those procedures may not be part of your practice, but that the patient either went through them or will have to go through them in the future. Both past and future interventions may have implications on how to approach the patient’s anesthetic management while the patient is under your care

Intended Audience

This activity is designed for anesthesiology residents, pediatric anesthesia fellows, and general anesthesiologists.
