hygiene: lecture + live surgical demonstration
Session 1: fact or fiction: debunking trends in periodontal and implant therapy
Lecture by dr adam saltz
Periodontal patients pose a unique challenge to the dental team. Tooth loss, increased mobility, and attachment loss complicate ways to maintain and rehabilitate a patient’s oral health and function. As more materials and treatment modalities come to market, it is increasingly difficult for providers to discern what is most appropriate for each patient. Salivary testing, antibiotic therapy, specialized hand and power instruments, and laser therapy may benefit some forms of periodontal and peri-implant disease but is less effective for others. Understanding the limitations of these trends and the role of systemic health can positively impact the periodontal-restorative interface and minimize how certain inflammatory conditions contribute to the rate of disease progression.
Choose the appropriate materials and techniques for non-surgical and surgical therapy
Identify site, patient, and esthetic-related risk factors for periodontal and implant surgery
UNDERSTAND AND MANAGE SYSTEMIC DISEASES AS PART OF DENTAL TREATMENT
DIAGNOSE AND PROGNASTICATE PERIODONTAL AND MUCOGINGIVAL CONDITIONS USING THE NEW CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
