AGD PACE Subject Code: 490 – Periodontics

Most periodontal patients struggle between office visits, and it’s no wonder why. Toothbrush, rinse and floss don’t reach past 3mm. Break the cycle of gingival inflammation and disease with the power of oxygen delivered deep into periodontal pockets via a prescription tray. If you are frustrated by tissue that chronically bleeds, by patients who fearfully refuse treatment, or by ineffective homecare, then you want to attend this course. Scaling combined with prescription trays leads to better reductions in pocket depths and bleeding than scaling alone. Your patients need this help and they can only get it from you.

After completing this course you will understand:
-the benefits and limitations of antimicrobial and mechanical therapies for biofilm control.
-how and why antimicrobials with oxidative/reduction reactions effectively manage biofilms.
-how to incorporate localized antibiofilm therapies into existing treatment plans.
-how to help preserve the health of your implant, cosmetic, and restorative cases.
