Periodontal and Implant Treatment the Tampa Bay Way

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The art and science of dentistry has evolved rapidly over the last decade. New treatment options that were not readily available in the past can be offered to our patients today. Successful periodontal and implant treatment is no longer solely depending on infection control and osseointegration; achieving excellent esthetic outcomes is a critical component of treatment, and all members of the treatment team are important to provide the patient with a good treatment result. Periodontal and dental implant treatment present unique challenges for the clinician. Yet, achievement can be most rewarding.

In the course we will discuss diagnosis and treatment planning and predictable treatment modalities for patients with complex treatment needs. A variety of treatment options will be introduced and the treatment sequence will be reviewed to provide a successful outcome.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At completion, participant will be updated on:

• Knowledge of the periodontal and peri-implant biology
• Careful treatment planning
• Attention to details in execution of different treatment techniques
• Maintenance care

This course is recommended for

• General dentists who would like to obtain comprehensive knowledge regarding predictable periodontal and dental implant treatment
• Dental Hygienists who would like to be more efficient in their functions by enhancing their fundamental and practical knowledge. Participants will be encouraged to present patients from their own practices for discussion and planning.
