Management of Preventative Dental care in the face of a Global Pandemic is a hot topic in the Dental Medical Professional Community. Depleted work forces and shifting priorities of both patients and staff make navigating the current landscape difficult. As isolated practitioners we wonder, are the methods we are currently using for preventative care as effective and efficient as they could be? Join us to learn about a different approach to preventative and periodontal care that focuses on: elimination of oral biofilm, holistic care, and patient education. Hear from a seasoned Periodontist and Dental Hygienist who have brought Guided Biofilm Therapy into their armamentarium. We will review the steps of Guided Biofilm Therapy, the advantages and disadvantages to assisted hygiene, and share how Guided Biofilm Therapy has changed how we approach practice today.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the eight steps of the guided Biofilm Therapy Protocol
- Illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of an assisted hygiene model for preventative patient care
- Assess the efficacy of different treatment methodologies in treating oral biofilm based disease
