In a world where technology is continually advancing, chronic disease has become the leading cause of death, and rising trends in oralsystemic links are identified, it is imperative that the dental profession rises to effectively serve the public. While the dental community focuses on the timely identification and intervention of periodontal, caries and pathologic diseases of the oral cavity, an unknown yet common disease lurks untreated within the dental industry. Learn from associate professor and leading periodontist, Dr. Maria Geisinger, and educator and periodontal hygienist, Katrina M. Sanders, as they reveal the chronic disease no one is talking about and be the first to unpack effective treatment solutions for this pervasive disease.

Learning objectives:

  • Confront challenges to delivery of individualized patient assessment and care of periodontitis within the dental practice
  • Identify and implement ongoing screening practices for periodontal diseases as a part of recall hygiene therapy
  • Collect and utilize oral examination findings to aid in early identification and intervention for periodontal diseases
