For the last 75 years, the dental profession’s periodontal diagnostics have primarily been based on 2D X-rays and periodontal probing. As a result, our treatments are often more “reactionary” after the disease has begun versus a more customized and preventative approach.  Additionally, assessment during and after treatment is often reliant on the same diagnostics which again often miss the mark.  This course is focused for the clinical team to understand, “we can do far better” in customizing our diagnostics and preventive approaches for our patients. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Optimizing 2D AI for your digital radiography for both enhanced diagnostics and patient communication
  • The benefits of genetic profiling via a one-time test evaluating biomarkers to determine genetic risk factors for caries and periodontal disease. Yes, it’s here!
  • When, where, and why to order saliva testing and bacterial testing
  • Maintenance protocols and products that truly show superior outcomes versus traditional brushing and flossing
