SUMMARY:In Office Periodontal Management with Air-Powder\, Ultrasonic and Hybenx Technology: Five Steps to the Optimal Dental Hygiene Appointment
DESCRIPTION:Successful and predictable treatment of periodontal disease can feel overwhelming unless you have a strategic plan. This five step program is a clinical approach that combines ADPIE\, traditional modalities and new evidence based technology to achieve optimum clinical outcomes. These new technologies help to easily remove biofilm and mitigate or arrest active periodontal disease\, lessen operator physical effort during debridement\, while simultaneously improving the patient experience and treatment outcome. \nThis presentation reviews the steps and rationales for a successful and comfortable dental hygiene appointment utilizing erythritol air polish technology\, ultrasonic scaling and Hybenx Desiccation Shock Technology. Evidence will be presented to support all steps of the process\, as well as the appropriate sequencing of these technologies. New mechanical and chemical debridement technology can enhance non surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) and help make periodontal disease management more predictable. \nObjectives of this program include: \n\nDiscuss limitations of convention SRP with ultrasonic\, hand scaling and rubber cup polishing.\nReview the five steps of ADPIE.\nIntroduce the five steps of the optimal dental hygiene appt.\nIntroduce supporting evidence for the use of air-polishing and Hybenx in a periodontal appointment.\nStep by step instructions for the five steps\, including air polish sequencing rationales.\nDiscuss where and when to apply Hybenx in an air polish appointment.\nReview decision making tree for maintenance of periodontal health and early gingivitis vs. periodontal disease.\n\nREGISTER HERE
