Event Details
Hygiene Detective Identify Disease At It’s Earliest Stages:
There are many clues that provide evidence of disease, such as occlusal wear, recession, bleeding, fissured tongues, erythemic tissues, incipient lesions and many more. Determining our patient's high-risk factors for oral disease and systemic health is multi-factorial and our role as dental professionals allows us to evaluate the first signs of disease.
This program will help you and your team review the patient's risk factor in-depth while empowering the clinician to compare clinical technologies that align with the patient’s lifestyle to reduce decrease disease.
Learning Objective:
• Review the role of pH in the caries risks assessment and learn to identify stages of demineralization and remineralization
• Learn how to expedite risk assessments to enhance patient education and prevention
• Prioritize the patients high risk factors to comprehensively decrease their risks of oral disease and systemic health
• Evaluate the latest clinical technologies and homecare technologies to decrease patients oral and systemic disease risks.
You Are What You Eat:
Is Your Patient Feeding the Periodontal Pathogens? Periodontal disease is multifactorial in nature. Medical conditions, stress, and nutrition play a critical role in how the periodontal disease will progress.
This course is designed to investigate the nutrients that patients consume and how they affect the oral cavity. Patients are either feeding pathogens or promoting healing. The treatment of periodontal disease should include the role of nutrients in the elimination and prevention of oral diseases.
Learning objective:
• Review common periodontal pathogens
• Identify the role of nutrients in the progression of periodontal disease
• Explain how certain foods promote inflammation and create oral environments where bacteria thrive.
• Determine which foods are contraindicated and preferred for periodontally involved patients
• Implement proper nutritional counseling in current periodontal protocols
• Access chair side technologies to effectively remove biofilm.
