Commercial Supporter: GlaxoSmithKline
Successful treatment of periodontitis involves understanding how the disease progresses and implementing adjuncts for microbial control. Diseases of the oral cavity occur as a combination of microbial activity and the individual host response. Following definitive treatment for periodontitis, therapeutic care continues through supportive periodontal therapy, which differs from regular preventive care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Recognize periodontal disease etiology.
- Explore inflammation and the role of the host.
- Implement appropriate adjuncts based on severity.
- Identify how therapeutic care differs from preventive care.
