"Non-Restorative Management Of Dental Caries"
Dental caries is still the major non-communicable disease amongst children, and worldwide, most lesions are untreated. Early detection and diagnosis of increased caries risk and possibly the early carious lesion allows determination of the risk factors and whether these can be modified depending on the family context. Once the early lesion has been detected, possibilities exist, in conjunction with modifying the caries risk factors, to remineralise the lesions with products such as fluoride and CPP-ACP, and pit and fissure sealing may also be appropriate in posterior teeth. In summary, determination of caries risk and management of the risk and early carious lesion will be discussed.

"INTERCEPTIVE ORTODONTIC TREATMENTS"
In a child patient, if the formation of malocclusions cannot be prevented, the treatments which performed to prevent the progression of the existing anomaly are called interseptive orthodontic treatments. Bad oral habits and breathing disorders in childhood may have a negative effect on occlusion. The content of this problem depends on the duration and intensity of the effect, and the skeletal and dental relationship in the child. Elimination of bad habits and regulation of dental and dentoalveolar disorders have positive effects on both the face and important functions of the child patient such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking, also increase the patient's quality of life. In this presentation, malocclusions seen in children in the early term will be evaluated and the factors affecting the correct treatment indication and the treatment options applied will be evaluated with different cases. Current treatment approaches will be discussed in the light of recent literature and the results of the applications will be discussed.

"Artifical Intelligence and Blockchain in Dentistry and Radiology: What does the future hold?"
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is the use of algorithms and software to approximate human cognition in the analysis of complex medical data. Specifically, AI is the ability for computer algorithms to approximate conclusions without direct human input. What distinguishes AI technology from traditional technologies in health care is the ability to gain information, process it and give a well-defined output to the end-user. AI does this through machine learning algorithms, which can recognize patterns in behavior and create its own logic. This lecture explains the basic principles of deep learning and its application as well blockchain technology will be discussed technical requirements, and presents examples of successful application of deep learning techniques in dentistry and radiology.

"Radiologic Tips in the 3rd Dimension in Pediatric Dentistry: Why? How? "
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an imaging technique used for various reasons in pediatric dentistry. However, its use is quite limited. The radiation dose of CBCT scans should not be overlooked. Therefore, pediatric dentists should avoid unnecessary CBCT scans and prefer low-dose scans as much as possible. The use of CBCT can provide significant advantages in the evaluation of root fractures, planning of embedded teeth that are considered to be orthodontically maintained, complex dentoalveolar traumas, or more specific pathological conditions such as cysts or tumors. The area to be scanned should be limited and the radiation dose should be reduced as much as possible. This course is designed to provide information on the necessity of CBCT use in children and to improve the ability to interpret CBCT images accurately.
The course will consist of a series of lectures and case presentations. The information provided in this course will increase the participants' knowledge on CBCT and enable effective evaluation of CBCT images with special software.

"United, working together on the health of future generations"
The lecture will briefly cover the basic consequences of abnormal muscle functions and behaviour for the patient’s General Health. For a long time and even sometimes today, the muscular aetiology of orthodontic problems has been ignored. In order to achieve a stable, successful result, the tongue posture must be corrected, nasal breathing must be restored, and contractions of the jugular muscles as a result of treatment must be inhibited. However, the most important result will be the Improvement of patient’s Health and Quality of Life. The Main Learning Objectives Are: - Understand that in order to arrive at a stable and long term outcome it is critical to identify the behaviours that are actually the problem and which cause the symptoms. - Recognise mouth breathing as a risk factor for the patient’s General Health, craniofacial growth and development and the Importance of treating that habit as early as possible. - Envision the importance of including a functional approach when treating patients with craniofacial and dental disorders.

"Management of Deep carious Lesions- Evidence based Protocols"
Dental caries is a widely prevalent disease, burdening billions of individuals and causing significant healthcare costs. If left untreated, caries will advance through dentine stimulating pulpitis and eventually pulp infection and necrosis; however, if conservatively managed, pulpal recovery occurs even in deep carious lesions. The treatment of deep carious lesions is especially challenging for dentists, as such lesions are cavitated, with some dentin removal being required prior to placing a restoration to ensure the longevity of the restoration. Traditionally, deep caries management was destructive with nonselective (complete) removal of all carious dentine; Increasing evidence supports selective or stepwise instead of non-selective dentin removal in deep lesions of permanent teeth, as both avoid pulp exposure and postoperative complications These changes comes from an improved understanding of the pulp–dentine complex's defensive and reparative response to irritation, with harnessing the release of bioactive dentine matrix components and careful handling of the damaged tissue considered critical. Notably, the development of newer pulp capping materials has resulted in more predictable treatments from both a histological and a clinical perspective. Still many Critical questions related to the superiority of one caries removal technique over another, the best pulp capping biomaterial or whether pulp exposure is a negative prognostic factor remain unanswered. There is an urgent need to promote minimally invasive treatment strategies in dentistry. The aim of this lecture is to review the scientific evidence for deep caries removal in permanent vital teeth and the choice of material and restoration of the teeth to maintain long term tooth vitality and function.

"General Anaesthesia from Past to Present"
In developing societies like ours, where preventive oral and dental health practices are inadequate due to changes in behavioral and environmental factors observed in the last 20-30 years, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of dental caries in children. This poses a significant problem for pediatric dentists who are trying to cope with this issue, as they often encounter young children with numerous deep carious lesions and cooperation difficulties. The challenges of implementing behavior management techniques in this age group, the need for multiple appointments, and the discrepancy between the effort expended and the financial gain pose significant issues for dentists. In addition, due to the lack of knowledge on the part of parents, their problem-focused approach, difficulties in explaining behavior management techniques, and failure to adhere to long appointment sessions exacerbate the existing problems. Furthermore, the inadequacy of preventive oral and dental health practices or the inability to complete appropriate dental treatment procedures under clinical conditions in children with special care needs has led to an increasing number of procedures being performed under general anesthesia. In the past 10 years, along with Turkey, the availability and increasing prevalence of dental treatment under general anesthesia/sedation worldwide have sparked debates regarding patient selection criteria. This presentation will discuss potential measures to reduce the need for general anesthesia, the risks associated with dental treatment under general anesthesia, the cost-benefit relationship, and the appropriate indications for such procedures in pediatric dentistry.
