Abstract

This interactive, hands-on workshop is designed for pediatric and general dentists looking to elevate their clinical skills in three essential areas of pediatric restorative dentistry: MTA pulp therapy, prefabricated pediatric esthetic crowns, and space maintenance.

Participants will receive step-by-step instruction and live demonstration, followed by guided practice using typodonts and real-world clinical scenarios. The workshop emphasizes efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes—ensuring that you leave with practical techniques you can apply in your practice immediately.

Whether you’re working in private practice, public health, or the operating room, this workshop will build your confidence and competence in managing the most common challenges in pediatric restorative care.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Perform MTA vital pulp therapy with confidence and consistency
  • Demonstrate selection and placement of prefabricated esthetic crowns with optimal fit and retention
  • Fabricate and deliver space maintainers appropriate for various clinical scenarios
  • Integrate these techniques into fast-paced, child-friendly workflows
  • Understand clinical decision-making behind material and treatment selection
