Course Description:
In treating today's periodontal patient successfully, the clinician must customize a treatment plan that goes beyond the removal of plaque and calculus. Achieving excellent clinicial outcomes involves assessing for systemic issues, communicating and customizing home care according to the patient's level of understanding and ability to perform home care procedures, and choosing appropriate adjuncts to care. In this course we will explore the multi-faceted treatment planning approach, including scheduling and coding. We will aldo discuss effective instrument sharpening, and we will explore strategies for dealing with informed consent and refusal of definitive care.
