Module 2 - Treatment Planning

Surgical Demonstration

This module picks up from Module 1 and starts by looking at the evidence relating to the assessment of prognosis before discussing periodontal treatment planning in detail.

Format:

The initial discussion on prognosis will be followed a series of mini presentations interspersed with discussions on case histories and short practical sessions. Topics on this day will include a logical approach to periodontal treatment planning, bacterial biofilms and the importance of self-performed plaque control and how to motivate patients to clean better. There will be practical sessions on the best oral hygiene methods to use (be prepared to clean your own teeth!) and clinical photography demystified (it's cheap and easy!). We'll then discuss the stages and timing of rational periodontal treatment planning, as well as the range of treatment options available, using our Treatment options Flowchart which has been developed over the last few years.

Maximum number of participants: 20

Aims and Objectives:

1. To appreciate the range of treatment options available for periodontal diseases.

2. To understand when new treatment techniques, such as regeneration, can be used.

3. To understand the relevance of antimicrobials in periodontal treatment.

4. To be able to undertake long-term treatment planning in complex cases.

The course should enable participants to:

1. Instruct patients in oral hygiene effectively.

2. Take high quality clinical images.

3. Treatment plan periodontal care logically.

4. Discuss periodontal care with patients.
