  2. Caries Diagnosis:
    • Learn techniques for early detection and diagnosis of caries using clinical, radiographic, and other diagnostic methods.
    • Understand the criteria for caries classification and staging.
  3. Preventive Strategies:
    • Study evidence-based preventive measures, including fluoride application, sealants, and dietary modifications.
    • Examine patient education strategies and behavioral interventions to reduce caries risk.
  4. Management and Treatment:
    • Review contemporary approaches to caries management, including minimal intervention dentistry and therapeutic techniques.
    • Understand the principles of caries risk assessment and the development of personalized treatment plans.
  5. Current Research and Trends:
    • Analyze recent cardiology research advancements, including caries detection, treatment materials, and preventive technologies.
    • Discuss the implications of emerging trends on clinical practice and patient outcomes.
