This program highlights the need to create standardized assessment strategies that measure competence in oral disease control. This workshop provides: 1) an overview of assessment strategies used across disciplines for oral disease control, identifying need for advancement in assessing caries management based on evidence; 2) a panel discussion to address current challenges in designing assessment for caries management that include caries risk assessment strategies, minimally invasive surgical techniques and non-surgical management in supportive care for the patient; and 3) an interactive opportunity for attendees to share valued approaches at their own institutions.
