About the Course

Course Description

Advances in imaging, lasers, and artificial intelligence have made it easier than ever to identify incipient enamel lesions well before they progress to frank cavitation requiring invasive intervention. These technologies frequently reveal small interproximal or marginal areas of concern, yet clinicians have often lacked clear guidance on how best to manage these early findings.

Fortunately, preventive treatment options have advanced just as rapidly as diagnostic capabilities. In this practical and engaging presentation, Dr. Gupta reviews contemporary preventive strategies, discusses when each approach is most appropriate, and explains how these protocols can be effectively incorporated into a busy clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify indications for various topical preventive therapies, including fluoride and silver diamine fluoride
  • Explain the role of artificial intelligence–assisted radiographic interpretation in early lesion detection
  • Review current evidence related to effective home care regimens for caries prevention
  • Discuss strategies for integrating preventive care protocols into clinical practice workflows

Meet the Instructor

Ankur Gupta, DDS

Ankur A Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate dental knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became unpredictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self, attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement.

More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution-oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.


Dr. Gupta graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland, Ohio, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry. In addition to founding North Ridgeville Family Dentistry, Dr. Gupta is a member of the American Dental Association, Greater Cleveland Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, ADA Success Speaker Corp, and an active board member and speaker for Catapult Education’s Speaker Bureau. Dr. Gupta is an AGD/PACE-certified provider.
