Prof. Arham explained the importance of thorough examination and structured treatment planning for pediatric dental patients. He discussed the advantages of working with a proper plan, the disadvantages of proceeding without one, and shared insights on antibiotics usage and behavioral management techniques for children.
Participants gained practical exposure through hands-on procedures, including:
- Pulp therapy in primary dentition, from clinical diagnosis to treatment
- Posterior stainless steel crown placement
- Anterior strip crown restoration on typhodonts
Prof. Arham personally supervised participants’ work, helping them resolve complications faced during the procedures.

Participants learned about apexogenesis, apexification, space management in children, and reattachment of fractured tooth fragments. MTA pulpotomy and administration of local anesthesia in children were also discussed in detail.
The session concluded with an interactive discussion where Prof. Arham addressed iatrogenic cases, emphasized preventive approaches, and highlighted how accurate treatment planning can improve long-term patient outcomes.
