The course offers general practitioners tools and ideas to change their practice philosophy to one based on disease management and prevention using CAMBRA (caries management by risk assessment) concepts as outlined in the October and November, 2007 issues of the Journal of the California Dental Association. It will also provide ways to incorporate its principles into clinical practice and an understanding of how CAMBRA can be financially feasible.
Attendees will leave with a clear knowledge of the CAMBRA principles, learn how to create a team approach to caries prevention and be familiar with CAMBRA-related products.
