Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Pacific Center for Special Care at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry has developed the virtual dental home (VDH) system, which uses allied dental professionals trained to place interim therapeutic restorations (ITR) under the general supervision of dentists. This paper reviews the scientific basis for the ITR, as used in the VDH system, in managing caries lesions and delivering oral health care to underserved and vulnerable populations.
