Tips and tricks for success in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease will be discussed. Non-surgical treatment will focus on the different approaches using either hand instruments or piezo/Cavitron, which will be demonstrated with videos showing proper adaptation and angulation of instruments. Surgical treatment will include several exercises and clinical cases to help determine the next best step for patient treatment. Advanced surgical techniques will be demonstrated to treat patients who are periodontally stable and would like to move forward with other needs, such as guided bone regeneration or extraction and ridge preservation, to place implants and restore partially edentulous areas.
The hands-on activities on day two will include a guided tissue regeneration exercise in which participants will practice flap reflection, bone grafting of periodontal defects, and suturing techniques.
