Dentistry's Missing Link; Periodontal Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Dr. Sam Shamardi

2 MCE Credits

Over 80% of the population has some form of periodontal disease, yet practices routinely overlook periodontal treatment. Why? Primarily because doctors and hygienists are not trained to diagnose and treatment plan periodontal therapy. This course reviews in detail clinical and diagnostic factors for periodontal disease along with criteria necessary for referring cases for different forms of periodontal therapy.

Learning Objectives:

• Review all diagnostic and clinical factors essential in properly identifying periodontal disease
• Understand what factors should be considered in referring cases to periodontal specialists and how such cases present themselves clinically
• Learn ways to transform your practice productivity with zero additional time and investment in marketing
