Beating up on Your Patient’s Periodontal Disease – A Minimally Invasive Approach

Frustrated with recurring Periodontal Disease in treated cases?
Want an evidence based approach with predictable results?

This presentation will discuss a scientifically sound, and evidence based, approach for effective control of moderate to advanced periodontal disease using minimally invasive surgical intervention. It also will explain how we might use the technique in combination with scaling and root planning and no flap surgery at all. Both indications will be explained.

It shows how adding chemotherapeutic methods to specifically target the periodontal bacteria will allow for successful management of very advanced cases that might otherwise have been treated only with extraction. In doing so, results will be improved over classic surgical methods which may not kill all bacteria at the diseased sites.

Clinicians will learn a safe, economical and predictable means for treating, and maintaining, moderate to severe periodontitis. These innovative methods will be explained by outlining both in-office procedures, as well as specific anti-microbial procedures for the patient to do at home. When combined, they yield predictable clinical results for previously failing cases or advanced cases treated for the first time.

Treatment will be illustrated with clinical photos and radiographs, including clinical applications in dogs that also show excellent results. Cases will be shown and literature quoted to validate the procedures.

Participants will learn:

• Why Periodontal Surgery or SCRP fails
• To manage failed or failing cases with a degree of confidence
• To improve diagnostics with bacterial culturing
• The role of patient care at home as an integral part of treatment
• To accurately select antibiotics instead of guessing

This can be presented as a 1-3 hour course depending on your needs.
Includes Phase Contrast Microscopic videos of periodontal pathogens.
