About the Lecture:
Title: "Manifesting Moisture: Practical Xerostomiology"
Time Slot TBD
When a polymicrobial biofilm can outsmart a human with a doctorate degree, there’s a problem. Yet the evidence is clear, dental caries, especially in a dry mouth isn’t just multifactorial and definitely more complicated than denial, fermentable carbohydrates and negative ions. As AI begins steering treatment decisions instead of clinicians, there may be hope for remineralization, but what could go horribly wrong?
The public is told that nanohydroxyapatite cures tooth decay and fluoride lowers IQ, so what’s a dentist supposed to do. The oral healthcare ecosystem is bracing for a revolution—one that demands a deeper, more serious look at the most underappreciated secretion: saliva.
- Improve the prognosis of patient care
- Explain the facets of effective disease management
- Describe critical components of disease management strategies that hinder success
- Defend evidence-based anionic remineralization AND research-based caries lesion reversal
