Blueprint for Success: Periodontal Protocols for the Modern Dental Practice

SUGGESTED ATTENDEES: Dentists and Hygienists • SUGGESTED LENGTH: Up to 6 hours; Lecture, Workshop

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Explore current periodontal classifications, including classification of peri-implant disease. Gain guidelines for designing treatment plans and the process of hygiene care for both the natural dentition and dental implants. Discover maintenance protocols and current research for ailing dental implants.

Analyze the psychology of patient fear and the impact on treatment acceptance. Pinpoint case presentation techniques which help the patient embrace recommended treatment. Gain a thorough understanding of the periodontal protocols, including how to identify and address individual patient needs.

New and emerging technologies and best practices for treating patients with moderate to advanced periodontal and peri-implant diseases are literally opening our eyes to the calculus and biofilm we previously had to remove blindly.

Periodontal endoscopy offers dentists and patients non-surgical, predictable treatment solutions. The periodontal endoscope offers direct visual access to the root surface within the periodontal pocket without a surgical flap.

This course demonstrates the role of periodontal endoscopy and its benefits. Participants will analyze the processes and results of traditional pocket reduction surgery compared to non-surgical endoscope treatment. We will explore advanced diagnostics via magnified sub-gingival visualization which allows clinicians to identify periodontal and peri-implant etiologies and potential complications with healing. Explore adjunctive therapies - such as lasers and enamel matrix protein - that create an ideal environment for gingival attachment and in some cases, bone regeneration.

Don’t Fly Blind: Periodontal Endoscopy in the Modern Dental Practice

SUGGESTED ATTENDEES: Dentists and Hygienists • SUGGESTED LENGTH: Up to 2 hours; Lecture, Workshop

Understand why periodontal endoscopy is the standard of care for treatment of moderate to advanced periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Recognize the condi t ions under which periodontal endoscopy is ideally utilized and when regenerative surgery is indicated.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Lasers have been used in dental practices for years, however formal education for hygienists has been limited. Because of this, many hygienists are hesitant to utilize dental lasers. We’re missing opportunities to provide our patients with improved outcomes and a higher level of care.

Recognize the controversy regarding the utilization of lasers near dental implants and learn when/how to reduce the potential risk. Review standard safety measures for keeping your practice within the guidelines of regulatory body requirements. Gain greater confidence and offer advanced treatment options while improving patient outcomes.
