Course TITLE
Bacteria, Parasites and Fungi OH MY! Investigating Oral Biofilm
Course Summary
PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES SUPPORT THE NOTION OF THE ORAL-SYSTEMIC LINK AND ITS CONNECTION TO WELLNESS OR DISEASE. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO HAVE THE PATIENT UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT PERIODONTAL TREATMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY PATIENTS RESIST THE ACCEPTANCE AND OWNERSHIP OF THEIR DISEASE. IT CAN BE A DAILY BATTLE FOR THE HYGIENIST AND THE DENTAL OFFICE. HOW CAN WE FIGHT A WAR IF WE DO NOT KNOW THE ENEMY? SEEING IS BELIEVING. USING MICROSCOPY AND SALIVARY TESTING TO EVALUATE THE ORAL BIOFILM DURING A DENTAL APPOINTMENT IMPROVES PERIODONTAL TREATMENT ACCEPTANCE AND OUTCOMES. THE ABILITY TO DETECT PATHOGENS SUCH AS TREPONEMA DENTICOLA OR ENTAMOEBA GINGIVALIS DURING A DENTAL VISIT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BIOFILM MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION. USING MICROSCOPY FOR PATHOGEN RECOGNITION AND PERIODONTAL CASE PRESENTATION WILL NOT ONLY IMPROVE PATIENT ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS, BUT YOUR PATIENTS WILL ALSO BE MORE LIKELY TO ACCEPT YOUR TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS.
Course Objectives
- EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF BIOFILM AND ITS PATHOGENIC POTENTIAL IN THE PERIODONTAL DISEASE PROCESS.
- RECOGNIZE HOW MICROSCOPY AND SALIVARY TESTING CAN BE USED IN PERIODONTAL PATHOGEN IDENTIFICATION TO ENHANCE CUSTOMIZED PERIODONTAL TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND PATHOGENIC BIOFILM MITIGATION.
