Lecture
Patients with periodontitis – how to actually treat them?
European and national guidelines for the treatment of periodontitis and peri-implant diseases
How should we treat patients with periodontitis? What instruments to use; what adjunctives and medication to include; how to determine when and what type of corrective surgical treatment of periodontitis is needed; when to proceed with other interdisciplinary treatment modalities (orthodontics, prosthodontics, implantology)?
Guidelines for the treatment of many different diseases have long been present in medicine. A kind of revolution took place in the world of periodontology in 2020 and 2022 – for the first time in the history of European periodontology, official guidelines for treating patients with periodontitis of all disease stages were published. The guidelines intend to inform clinicians, health systems, policymakers, and the public about the most effective treatment modalities based on available scientific knowledge.
This lecture aims to answer the above and many other everyday clinical questions about treating patients with periodontitis by presenting new guidelines and providing professionally and scientifically based information.
Hands-on
Patients with implants – how can health around implants be supported, and how can peri-implantitis be treated non-surgically?
Statistical data on the occurrence of pathologies around dental implants are quite devastating: up to 50% of implants at some point develop mucositis and 25% peri-implantitis.
Through a theoretical and practical block, the workshop focuses on clinical procedures by which we professionally support patients with implants in maintaining health around the implants and preventing the occurrence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. The workshop will also explain and practice non-surgical procedures for treating peri-implant inflammation. The limitations of this type of therapy will also be defined, indicating when further (surgical) therapy is needed.
