Periodontal Disease and Smokers

Free CE IneedCE: Periodontal Disease and Smokers http://ht.ly/68lZx
Effective Date: December 1, 2010 Expiration Date: November 30, 2013

Format: Self Instructional - Audio Visual

Periodontal disease is more prevalent and more severe in smokers than in nonsmokers. The host response in smokers is altered by a number of factors including increased gingival crevicular fluid, adhesion molecules and genetics. In addition, smokers are poor healers compared to nonsmokers and their response to periodontal therapy can be compromised which can result in continued progression of periodontal disease, or the need for more treatment.

The overall goal of this presentation is to provide the clinician with information on periodontal disease and its treatment in smokers. Following this presentation, the participant should be able to do the following:

• List the categories of periodontal disease
• List and describe the prevalence of periodontal disease in smokers and nonsmokers
• List and describe the differences in the smoker’s host response in periodontal disease
• List and describe the risk factors for peri-implantitis
• List and describe the smoker’s response to periodontal treatment and possible treatment options

Restorative Factors: Inducing Periodontal Complications

Restorative Factors: Inducing Periodontal Complications
Faculty: Scott Froum, DDS, Chris Salierno, DDS
FREE 1CE credit hour from IneedCE.com

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.

Effective Communication for Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment

The Art and Science of Effective Communication for Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment

Faculty: Karen Davis, RDH, BSDH

Ineffective communication skills, rushed appointments and/or fear of what the patient may think when presenting a periodontal diagnosis are some of the common barriers that interfere with existing patients being enrolled into non-surgical treatment in the general dental practice. What do you say to a long term patient that has periodontal disease, but it unsuspecting? This course offers solutions for the entire team to create value for periodontal treatment; manage common patient objections; and move a patient from routine prophylaxis into necessary non-surgical treatment inclusive of locally applied antimicrobials, as indicated, and on-going periodontal maintenance.
