Clinical Roadmap: Periodontal Diagnosis & Treatment Planning – Best Practices and Pitfall
About This Event
A standardized classification system is essential for the dental team to diagnose and treat patients and to study the etiology, pathogenesis, and management of periodontal diseases. The 2017 classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases incorporates key patient factors including history of periodontal disease (clinical attachment loss and bone loss) and rate of disease progression. This course reviews the classification, staging and grading, application to clinical scenarios, and integration of patient risk assessment to individualize periodontal care and improve outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate among common periodontal diagnoses including health, gingivitis, and periodontitis while applying staging and grading assessment specifically to the diagnosis of periodontitis.
- Apply the classification system to common clinical scenarios in general practice to enhance diagnosis accuracy, documentation, and treatment planning.
- Integrate patient risk assessments into treatment planning to achieve long term therapy outcomes.
