  2. Caries Stabilization • Interim therapeutic restorations (ITRs) • Resin and glass ionomer sealants • Regular recharging of ITRs and sealants with fluoride • Fluoride varnish applications • Twice daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste

  3. ECC Initiative

  4. Why Caries Stabilization? Poor Dental Access for 0-5 year olds Only 10% of 0-2 year olds are seen yearly in the dental clinic. Only 25% of 3-5 year olds are seen yearly in the dental clinic.

  5. Objectives • Indications for interim therapeutic restorations (ITRs), and glass ionomer sealants • Appropriate technique for placing ITRs and GI sealants • Variables that influence the success of ITRs and GI sealants • Behavioral management when working with young children • Oral health messages for parents and caregivers of young children • Strategies for follow-up and coding

  6. Download AAPD policy on ITRs. Policy Statement • The AAPD recognizes ITR as a beneficial provisional technique in contemporary pediatric restorative dentistry. • ITR may be used to restore and prevent caries in youngpatients, uncooperative patients, patients with special needs and situations in which traditional cavity preparation and restorations are not feasible.
