Tired of seeing the same bleeding and pocketing return again and again? This course reveals why scaling and root planing can fail. You’ll uncover how to interpret red, orange, and green complex bacteria, and how to match them to targeted therapies that actually work. Through live case walk-throughs and breakout exercises, you’ll leave confident in reading saliva reports and applying evidence-based protocols that get proven periodontal results. So let's stop treating symptoms. Start treating the source—with the right product, at the right time, for the right patient.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Interpret saliva test data to classify bacterial risk profiles.
Differentiate antimicrobial, probiotic, and adjunctive care based on microbial type.
Implement saliva-guided protocols that reduce relapse and improve outcomes.
