Periodontitis is a major reason for tooth loss and now the oral-systemic complications. We create the user-friendly perio approach from patient acceptance scripting to chair side positive action. You will incorporate time tested and new technologies to find and manage periodontal disease. Take the frustration out of delivering periodontal care and gain success with patient case acceptance, tooth retention and financial reward.
Create a niche practice by moving into laser minimally invasive dentistry. From periodontal management to various soft and hard tissue procedures, laser technology creates positive case acceptance. Determine the appropriate laser for your practice by utilizing a defined decision protocol for productive use of the laser.
Learning Objectives:
• Empower the dental hygienist with expanded work descriptions beyond the “prophy”
• Develop “realistic” non-surgical therapies with emphasis on “new” anti-inflammatory systems including micro-ultrasonics and laser technology, and nutraceuticals such as probiotics and anti-oxidants.
• Effectively manage implant disease.
• Turn the laborious “cleaning” appointment into a fast paced Guided Biofilm Therapy experience.
· Achieve greater positive interaction between dentists and the team through improved communication skills
