Effective Periodontal Therapy through a Workshop in Technology

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course leaves traditional root planing techniques behind and moves into a new era of providing periodontal care through technology. By incorporating a combination of both manual and ultrasonic instrumentation in tandem with antimicrobials, the participant is taken to new heights in providing a synergistic level of care.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This hands-on workshop will directly impact your patients by teaching you to:

1. Utilizing electronic data collection to find and present periodontal care in a solo environment
2. Introducing ultrasonic instrumentation for periodontal patients with emphasis on patient comfort and acceptance
3. Operating ultrasonics with micro-thin inserts in a sulcular arena with an array of medicaments
4. Providing ergonomic techniques to decrease physical fatigue and enhance time efficiency
5. Placing time release local delivery antibiotics in selected sites

The seminar will enhance your armamentarium use in treating today's initial and recare periodontal patient where surgical therapy is not feasible.
