Hands-on course
Fighting against the statistics – periodontal and peri-implant supportive therapy
Numbers don’t speak in our favour – inflammatory periodontal and peri-implant diseases are highly prevalent and represent a significant global burden.
Can we, and how, confront the dreading statistics with periodontal and peri-implant supportive therapy? How can we prevent or address them on time, aiming for long-term treatment success?
The participants will learn how to establish an individualised supportive treatment programme and perform efficient clinical procedures through the following theoretical and practical blocks of this workshop:
- Understanding the biological differences between teeth and implants – impact on associated pathologies and their progression.
- Recognising and evaluating risk factors and using periodontal and peri-implant risk assessment tools (PRA & IDRA) to identify individuals at risk.
- Motivating the patient and tailoring oral hygiene around teeth, implants and various prosthetic designs.
- Advanced clinical protocols of professional biofilm management – using hand and machine-driven instruments and innovative technologies.
