Imogen will join us on both 19th June and 15th July to help us feel confident to use the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases and explore why our non-surgical periodontal therapy may not always work.
Additional information

Prior to the session on the classification of periodontal disease, delegates will be sent a workbook comprising four patient examples (including history, pocket chart and radiographs) to have a go at using the classification. Imogen will guide us through these during the webinar.

This workbook will be available approximately one week before the session.
