Part of the UT Health San Antonio.
Doctors and Hygienists can learn together about an evidenced based approach to eliminating and controlling Periodontal Disease. This presentation will discuss a scientifically sound approach for effective control of all levels of periodontal disease using the non-surgical approach with scaling and root planning, or minimally invasive surgical intervention for more advanced disease. Both indications will be explained and published literature will be explained.
The presentation shows how adding chemotherapeutic methods that specifically target the periodontal bacteria will allow for successful management of everything from very advanced cases that might otherwise have been treated only with extraction, to more mildly infected cases that might traditionally be treated with non-surgical methods. In doing so, results will be improved over the classic surgical or SCRP methods, as those approaches may not kill all bacteria at the diseased sites.
These innovative methods will be explained by outlining both in-office procedures as well as specific, and simplified, anti-microbial procedures for the patient to do at home. By simplifying home protocols, the chance for increased compliance is improved and the chance for predictable clinical results is enhanced.
Treatment will be illustrated with step-by-step instructions, 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.
