SUMMARY:The Stubborn Pocket: Evidence-Based Clinical Strategies for Non-Responsive Periodontal Sites
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nDespite thorough non-surgical periodontal therapy\, some sites continue to bleed\, remain inflamed\, or fail to respond as expected. How do we determine whether these areas require re-instrumentation\, enhanced home care\, adjunctive therapies\, or referral? \nThis evidence-based webinar provides a practical clinical framework for assessing and managing persistent periodontal sites. Participants will review current evidence\, identify common contributing factors\, and explore instrumentation strategies and adjunctive therapies that may improve clinical outcomes. Emphasis will be placed on clinical decision-making that can be immediately applied in everyday dental hygiene practice. \nLearning Objectives:\nAt the completion of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the importance of periodontal follow-up following non-surgical periodontal therapy.\nIdentify contributing factors associated with non-responsive periodontal sites.\nApply clinical strategies to manage non-responsive sites.\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\nJulie Lafitte\, RDH\, B.Ed.\, M.Ed.\, G.D.C.T.\, G.C.C.T. is a registered dental hygienist with over 20 years of clinical experience and a full-time faculty member in the Dental Hygiene Program at John Abbott College in Québec\, Canada\, where she teaches both clinical and didactic courses. \nIn addition to her teaching role\, Julie serves as a reviewer for the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) and is a member of the Accreditation Review Committee\, contributing to accreditation activities and the advancement of dental hygiene education standards across Canada.
