Clinical Application of Modern Cariology
To diagnose and treat caries well, we must separate the disease from the lesions it causes. Dr Jorge Aravena Diaz moves from "drill and fill" to a modern approach: assessing risk, classifying lesions with ICDAS, and matching intervention to lesion activity and radiographic findings.

Clinical Application of Modern Cariology
In order to truly understand, diagnose, and treat dental caries, we must be able to distinguish between the disease itself and the lesions it causes. In this course, Dr Jorge Aravena Diaz explores the shift from an outdated “drill and fill” mindset to a modern, patient-centred approach that emphasises diagnosis, prevention, and minimally invasive treatment. Participants will learn to assess caries risk, classify lesions using ICDAS, and determine the appropriate intervention based on lesion activity and radiographic findings. By applying the latest scientific guidance, clinicians can make evidence-based decisions to effectively manage caries and promote long-term oral health.
