The dental profession remains the only segment in the health care industry that treats a bacterial based infection (dental caries) by amputation rather than focusing on tissue repair. In the case of dentin, affected caries can remineralize as hydroxy or fluor apatite and infected dentin can remineralize as arrested caries.
Auto cure glass ionomer cements release fluoride and inhibit caries under a GIC restoration. These caries inhibiting properties can be enhanced by the prior placement of Silver Diamine Fluoride followed by Potassium Iodide to prevent the staining associated with SDF.  This program explores the benefits pharmacological enhancements to remineralization.

Geoff Knight is a general dentist and internationally noted dental speaker with special interests in Minimal Intervention Aesthetic dentistry. 
He has pioneered a number of innovative clinical procedures in clinical dentistry and the pharmacological management of caries and is named on several patents. He has consulted widely across the dental industry and has been published in a number of internationally recognized journals. He has produced a series of clinical videos with over 1 million views on YouTube and written over 100 clinical articles, many of which have been translated into a number of languages for international publication.
