"New Advances in Periodontics"-LIVE IN PERSON

Overview

“New Advances in Periodontics”

Presented by Sameer Kapoor, DDS, MSD

This course is designed for the dental professional to gain a better understanding of how laser therapy can reduce bacteria and biofilm to aid in controlling the inflammatory process and achieve vastly improved periodontal outcomes. Participants will learn exciting NEW trends in laser therapeutics as well as when individuals are indicated for laser therapy vs the traditional antibiotics, and SRP.  The differences in laser wavelength and how the wavelength settings can produce different therapy outcomes will be discussed. The AAP periodontal classifications will also be discussed to review the evolution of the new classification system, focusing on the application of the new staging and grading concepts used to classify each periodontal patient. The new system assists in determining the predictability for the periodontally involved patient to respond to therapy. .

Course Objectives:

• Gain an understanding of NEW trends with lasers, and explore current research into laser periodontal therapy

• Understand how laser wavelength and settings used can play an important role in periodontal therapy outcomes

• The AAP Periodontal Classifications will be reviewed, along with case studies.

• Develop treatment plans and at home therapy regimens using the staging and grading system.
