Essential Periodontics Assessment and Diagnosis - Part 1 (OX121213PT1)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectPeriodontics
DescriptionThis module covers the aetiology of periodontal conditions, their diagnosis and assessment. The day also covers risk factors for periodontitis in depth and there is an introduction to the concept of assessing periodontal prognosis for individual teeth.
Additional informationAn initial presentation on periodontal aetiology and diagnosis, including discussion on the fundamental role of bacterial biofilms, is followed by group work (working in groups of 3 or 4) on cases with diagnostic dilemmas or problems. There is then discussion on risk factors, illustrated by further group work and discussion on more complex cases. At some stage during the day there will be an interactive exercise on the assessment of prognosis for individual teeth. As with all our courses the programme is designed to be highly flexible; most of the day is spent in discussion and the topics covered will vary, depending on the direction of the discussion.

this course is intended for GDPs, therpaists and Hygienists
