Program Summary
This highly acclaimed course provides a comprehensive review of pediatric dentistry. It may be helpful to American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) members in their preparation for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD) examinations.
The Comprehensive Review program provides you with an expansive, contemporary, and in-depth summary of pediatric dentistry. Topics discussed include growth and development, oral pathology, providing care to special needs patients, trauma, behavior management, and pulp therapy.
Expert clinicians presenting in this program utilize a lecture format to review the subjects included in the board examinations. A representative of the ABPD discusses the board examination process. Participation in this activity does not guarantee successful completion of board exams.
The curriculum is designed also to serve as a comprehensive and in-depth review of pediatric dentistry to those participants who may either be board certified or not planning on taking the examination.
