Dental CE Course: The Periodontal Co-Therapist: Contemporary Periodontology for the Hygienist and Implant Therapy and

The Periodontal Co-Therapist - Contemporary Periodontology for the Hygienist
In addition to providing patient care, dental hygienists educate and advise their patients regarding proposed therapeutic options and the treatment experience. This program will present photographic and radiographic documentation of various clinical cases treated in a private practice setting with surgical therapy and non-surgical therapy. These cases will illustrate how contemporary periodontal therapy can be utilized to provide health and improved esthetics for our patients. Scientific evidence supporting the periodontal therapy used in each clinical case is examined.
Implant Therapy and the Hygienist
Implant therapy is, under the appropriate circumstances, a viable and predictable treatment modality. In addition to providing maintenance for previously placed dental implants, the dental hygienist frequently confers with patients who are considering implant therapy as an option to replace missing teeth. To facilitate a better understanding of the overall process of implant dentistry, this course will review treatment planning, the basics of surgical placement, site preparation and restoration with either fixed or removal prosthetics. Anatomical concerns and systemic factors, which effect the outcome of implant treatment, will also be reviewed.
