Pockets, Paradigms and Protocols: A Revolutionary Approach to Precision Periodontics

Katrina Sanders
KATRINA M. SANDERS, RDH, BSDH, M.ED, RF

COURSE DESCRIPTON:

Despite our best efforts to study, treat and manage diseases of the periodontium, research continues to indicate an increasing prevalence of oral inflammatory conditions, unpack challenges with our existing protocols, and challenge the dental profession with paradigm shifts. The ‘gold standard’ of periodontal disease management is pivoting as patients are looking to non-invasive approaches to safely, efficiently, and definitively treat disease and subsequently promote health. The ever-changing environment of healthcare delivery is now focusing on the convergence of precision medicine, implementation science, and learning healthcare system studies to synergistically improve clinical health outcomes. While our medical colleagues have adapted these paradigm shifts into avant-garde approaches to patient care, dentistry is now called upon to become part of this trailblazing movement. Join periodontal hygienist and international speaker Katrina M Sanders as she discusses a revolutionary concept of ‘Precision Periodontics’, critically examining the current landscape of oral inflammation with a deep focus on contemporary interventions aimed to transform non-invasive care for the periodontal patient, improve clinical outcomes and optimize management of periodontal diseases.
