65% of Canadians suffer from bleeding or inflamed gingiva and more than half choose to ignore the issue or take minimal action1. Why are such an alarming number of patients failing to take appropriate action to improve their gingival health?
This course will review the bacterial etiology of gingivitis and other factors such as systemic diseases, medications, and malnutrition. Clinical signs for both gingivitis and periodontitis will be discussed and a close look at the pathogenesis of periodontal disease will be presented.
Recent concepts about Periodontal Disease will be presented, along with research about the natural progression of the disease and the consequences of not receiving treatment.
A new technology will be shared that can help change the direction of gingivitis progression. We will learn about the chemistry and mode of action of ingredients in toothpastes to help lead your patients to greater gingival health.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the statistics on oral care routine and trends among the Canadian population.
- Understand the etiology of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
- Understand the progression of periodontal disease and the consequences of not receiving adequate treatment.
- Discover a new antibacterial dentifrice and its mode of action that can help improve gingival health.
