Despite our best efforts to study, treat, and manage diseases of the periodontium, research continues to indicate an increasing prevalence of oral inflammatory conditions, unpacking challenges with our existing protocols, and challenging the dental profession with paradigm shifts. The ‘gold standard’ of periodontal disease management is pivoting as patients are looking to non-invasive approaches to safely, efficiently, and definitively treat disease and subsequently promote health.
The ever-changing environment of health care delivery is now focusing on the convergence of precision medicine and innovative approaches in wound healing to synergistically improve clinical health outcomes. While our medical colleagues have adapted these paradigm shifts into avant-garde approaches to patient care, dentistry is now called upon to become part of this trailblazing movement.
Join periodontal hygienist and international speaker Katrina M. Sanders as she discusses a revolutionary concept around progressively managing diseased periodontal tissues, critically examining the current landscape of oral inflammation with a deep focus on a contemporary intervention aimed to transform non-invasive care for the periodontal patient, improve clinical outcomes, and optimize management of periodontal diseases.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Review the current paradigm of oral wound care in the 21st century.
- Evaluate paradigm shifts in the provision of periodontics and the trends in inflammatory management for the dental professional.
- Identify the medicinal and healing properties of non-pharmacologic modalities.
- Examine a progressive product line aimed to naturally heal oral wounds for optimal resolution and tissue resilience.
