Course Description:
This webinar is designed to help dental assistants understand that periodontal disease starts with a biofilm-based infection that creates a wound that, in turn, induces the inflammatory cascade responsible for the disease. This wound must be taken seriously and treated at the earliest possible stages. The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions 2018 defines 4 levels of periodontal health and includes staging and grading system for periodontitis as well as classification of peri-implant disease. This along with recent changes in CDT codes create the necessity for an update. This webinar provides a framework to meet the individualized needs of the patient.
