SUMMARY:Webinar: Oral-Systemic Links: What Do We Tell Our Patients?
DESCRIPTION:Oral-Systemic Links: What do we tell our patients?? (1.0 hrs) \nResearch has been conducted for over 30 years on proposed relationships between periodontal disease and numerous systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease\, diabetes\, respiratory diseases etc. However\, the nature of these relationships has not always been clearly described or understood resulting in oral health professionals inadvertently giving their patients inaccurate information. As research continues to evolve\, having a clear understanding of the most current state of the evidence for these relationships can play a significant role in educating your patients.\nThere are currently 57 diseases being researched that are suspected of having some form of relationship with periodontal disease. This course will help you to relay accurate information to your patients about the nature of these linkages and how maintenance of periodontal health can have an influence on their overall health. \nCourse Objectives\n1. Discuss some common misconceptions about the nature of relationships between oral and systemic diseases.\n2. Describe the difference between “association” and “causation”.\n3. Discuss the current state of the evidence for proposed associations between periodontal disease and: cardiovascular diseases\, respiratory diseases\, adverse pregnancy outcomes\, diabetes\, rheumatoid arthritis\, cognitive decline\, inflammatory cancers\, and others.\n4. Discuss the most plausible explanation for these associations.\n5. Discuss how maintaining good periodontal health can have a positive influence on overall health.\n6. Develop educational strategies that will help to provide accurate information to your patients regarding oral-systemic relationships. \nSalme E Lavigne\, Dip.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Returning the Oral Microbiome to a Symbiotic State
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThis course discusses the concept of microbial dysbiosis based on the findings\nof the Human Microbiome Project and how the microbes that we live with are\nnot necessarily the culprits we have been lead to believe. How microbes\ninteract with the human immune system is a fine line that can either protect or\nharm the host. A toolbox of strategies will be provided that will help clinicians\nto educate their patients about how to return a dysbiotic microbiome into a state\nof symbiosis. \nObjectives\n1. Discuss findings from the “Human Microbiome Project” and how they relate to the oral microbiome.\n2. Explain the interaction between a dysbiotic microbiome and its relationship to inflammation and periodontitis.\n3. Describe several systemic mediators that play a role in the transition from a healthy symbiotic state to one of disease or dysbiosis.\n4. Discuss how microbial dysbiosis and “Precision Medicine” influenced the development of the new classification of periodontal disease.\n5. Describe various evidence based strategies that will provide clinicians with the tools to assist their patients in reversing their state of dysbiosis back to one of symbiosis.\n6. Use a decision tree that models the concept of “Precision Medicine” to assist you with personalizing your recommendations for each individual patient. \nSalme E Lavigne\, Dip.
