• Outline current understanding of the aetiology, progression and treatment of periodontal disease
• Discuss the evidence behind the use of various oral hygiene products and its effectiveness in non-surgical periodontal therapy hygiene phase, where available.
• Demonstrate how to diagnose and classify periodontal disease using 2017 Classification, construct a treatment plan following S3 Treatment Protocol (2021), gain consent and keep comprehensive records
• Explain the objectives of non-surgical periodontal therapy and the stages of wound healing
• Clarify when and how to offer referral for specialist care.

Anticipated Learning Outcomes:

Following the session, the delegates will be able to:

• Assess the patients in detail, perform necessary examinations (within your own scope of practice) and be able to make right diagnosis.

Day 2: Treating and Maintaining Periodontal Disease – Complete Instrumentation Hands-on Course

Description:

It is a complete periodontal instrumentation day that will look at how to plan and manage periodontal treatment following non-surgical procedure and the effective instrumentation skills and techniques to achieve successful outcome. We will also look at the science & evidence behind the design, use and recommendation of each of products/process we discuss. There will be brief discussion on how to plan the treatment so that you can execute it well in clinical settings. Hence it will give you a complete understanding and knowledge behind best use of ultrasonic scalers, hand instruments and air polishing and finer practical skills for NSPT.

Aim:

To learn and refine instrumentation skills to carry out successful non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Objectives:

The speaker will:

• Refresh dental professional’s knowledge on planning and the management of periodontal disease using non-surgical approach.
• Shed light on how to use site specific Gracey curettes during non-surgical periodontal treatment and the effective techniques for root surface debridement.
• Discuss various air polishing powders, their physical properties and how to use them in clinical settings for both cosmetic stain removal and during periodontal maintenance.
• Provide hands on demonstration with ultrasonic scalers (Peizoelectric & magnetostrictive scalers), hand instrumentation (Graceys & universals) and air-polishing (supra and sub gingival for cosmetic and periodontal treatment/maintenance) in order to improve their periodontal instrumentation skills.
• Demonstrate how to sharpen hand instruments.

Anticipated Learning Outcomes:

Following the session, the delegates will be able to:

• Differentiate between magnetostrictive and piezoelectric scalers and their working mechanisms
• Use USS, hand instruments and air-polish confidently and be able to carry out non-surgical treatment effectively
• Be able to implement skills learned from both lecture and demonstration (Hands on).

Higher Learning Outcomes

• Choose right instruments (appropriate hand instruments and ultrasonic tips for supra and sub-gingival areas) and materials for periodontal treatment and maintenance
• Distinguish between different uss types, tips, hand instruments (gracey/universal scaler) and polishing powders and be able to use various phase of periodontal treatments/cosmetic treatments
• Enhance periodontal treatment skills (hands on) using USS, hand instruments and air polishing
