SubjectPeriodontology
DescriptionThe aim of the presentation is to cover the aetiology of periodontal disease with particular reference to the factors that influence it’s initiation and progression and links to systemic disease. Delegates will have a deeper understanding of how these factors t into daily clinical practice and how they can be assessed to help us tailor our care on an individual basis to a greater extent than ever before, both by extensions of existing techniques and the introduction of new tests. Along with techniques that can be implemented simply and immediately, especially by hygienists and therapists, delegates will also learn of how they can develop their clinical practice to further enhance the care of their patients. Brief coverage will also be given of more sophisticated investigations that are already available to give delegates a background in what future periodontal care may encompass

Aims

To briefly review the aetiology of periodontal disease and associated risk factors, with a view to establishing at which points in it’s inception and progression we can usefully make assessments that would aid in managing our patients. With the ‘new’ perio classication incorporating the concept of personalised medicine, we will look at ways in which we can personalise our assessments of patients’ periodontal disease and certain systemic risk factors. Examine which techniques we might quickly incorporate in our existing day to day practice and which may be useful in the future.

Objectives

To understand the aetiology of periodontal disease with particular reference to factors affecting it’s initiation and progression To determine how we can extend and improve the assessments that we already make and describe techniques to better diagnose and monitor periodontal cases To outline how to screen for the principal systemic issues linked to periodontal disease in dental practice To gain an overview of possible future methods of assessing and monitoring the most advanced cases

Learning outcomes

The new periodontal classication incorporated the concept of personalised medicine which helps us tailor our periodontal care more precisely to individual patients. With links to a number of systemic diseases established, we can help patients not only in terms of their periodontal disease, but also to reduce their overall health risks for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, putting us not only at the heart of periodontal prevention, but playing our part in detection and prevention of systemic disease. Mapped to the new classication and S3 guidelines, and building on and extending existing assessments, delegates will learn of tests and investigations that can be carried out by hygienists and therapists to improve the care of their patients. Delegates will leave with range of procedures that they can start to incorporate into their day to day treatment of patients and also which they might plan to implement in the future.
