Abstract

In order to meet the challenges of safety, time management and asepsis,the dental health care provider must have a plan for infection control, including the use and care of dental instruments and disposables. Following the basic CDC guidelines can help to significantly reduce the risk of microbial transmission. After the patient is dismissed, the operatory must be prepared for the next patient, including the treatment of surfaces and instrument processing. There is a variety of methods available to properly reprocess instruments. Choosing a system that minimizes risk, maximizes productivity and preserves instruments is essential.

Cosmetics, health, function, and long-term prognosis all depend upon accurately assessing how a patient presents and then determining how to proceed. Individual patient considerations include oral hygiene, the presence of removable prostheses, the status and contouring of restorations, gingival anatomy, long-span fixed prostheses and caries. Attention should be given to the periodontal-restorative dynamic throughout all the stages of treatment from diagnosis and treatment planning to final insertion.

The overall goal of this course is to provide the participant with information on the restorative considerations and factors that can impact periodontal health. Upon completion of this course, the participant will:

•Know the restorative factors associated with periodontal disease.

•Know the importance of biologic width and considerations in the placement of restorative margins.

•Understand the importance of full treatment planning that takes into consideration appropriate restoration designs for periodontal health, and the appropriate sequence of treatment for a given patient.
