About the Course
This evidence-based continuing education course integrates three essential areas of modern dentistry: periodontal therapy, peri-implant disease management, and crestal bone preservation.
Participants will explore diagnostic standards, classification systems, and both nonsurgical and surgical treatment modalities for managing periodontal and peri-implant diseases. The course emphasizes prevention, early detection, and long-term stability, examining how implant design, placement depth, and soft tissue management influence outcomes.
Through case-based learning and clinical protocols, attendees will gain practical strategies to preserve bone, enhance implant longevity, and deliver patient-centered care.
Course Objectives
Participants will learn how to:
- Diagnose and classify periodontal disease using current AAP (2017/2020) guidelines
- Implement evidence-based nonsurgical and surgical therapies, including maintenance and referral protocols
- Incorporate systemic risk factors and team collaboration into comprehensive treatment planning
- Differentiate peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis using current consensus criteria
- Identify biological, mechanical, and iatrogenic factors contributing to peri-implant bone loss
- Apply preventive and therapeutic strategies to maintain peri-implant and crestal bone stability
- Evaluate how implant design, soft tissue thickness, and grafting materials influence long-term outcomes
