CAMBRA
Course DescriptionCAMBRA stands for Caries Management By Risk Assessment. Dental caries is the disease that can lead to cavities if left untreated. Tooth decay is an infection that can be prevented. Cavities are the end result of acids produced by oral bacteria. The acids remove minerals from our teeth, but these minerals can be replaced. Given the right care, our teeth can repair themselves. Brushing and flossing alone is sometimes not enough to avoid decay. Fillings and crowns repair the damage done by this infection, but do not stop the process that caused the damage.
The CAMBRA model for dental care involves assessing each patient's risk factors, determining the extent of their protective factors, and making recommendations to restore balance in the mouth. The infection is then addressed, balance is restored, and improved health results. About Our Speaker
