The Foundation is pleased to offer CAMBRA: A New Practice Philosophy on Thursday, September 11, 2008 at CDA Fall Scientific Sessions in San Francisco. 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 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, how to create a team approach to caries prevention and a broader awareness of CAMBRA products.
