Over 80 percent of the children in India receive their dental care from general dentists. Yet, the paediatric dental curriculum in our dental colleges does not adequately prepare the general dentist to treat this patient population. Pediatric patients are not just miniature adult patients – they have their own set of unique restorative problems and behavioral circumstances that require additional knowledge and experience to manage. The objective in treating pediatric patients is to provide high quality treatment in an extremely efficient manner that minimizes chair time while achieving long-lasting restorations.

This course is not intended to teach a general dentist how to be a pediatric dentist or to run a pediatric practice – rather it is presented to assist those general dentists who choose to treat children in their practice with a practical clinical approach to pediatric restorative dentistry and behaviour guidance.
