The
Extreme Makeover:
Rehabilitating
The Advanced Perio Patient
An
interactive course for dentists and hygienists
|
|
| |
|
|
This
course has been designed to assist the general dental office in
decision making for the difficult periodontal case. It includes
lectures by leading authorities as well as an interactive session
where the lecturers provide insight into periodontal treatment planning
on advanced cases presenting to the general dental office. It is
a unique opportunity for you, the clinician, to bring a case for
discussion or simply observe cases provided by other offices.
Never before have there been so many choices for the general dentist
and hygienist teams regarding treatment options. These include advanced
plaque control methods, effective scaling and root planing, adjunctive
antimicrobials, selective extractions, referral, regenerative surgery
and implant substitution for the natural teeth ravaged by severe
periodontal disease and/or teeth that have a low probability of
responding to periodontal treatment.
There
will be three parts to this exciting and informative day.
In Part 1, the speakers will present concise, to the point, lectures
on topics crucial to correct planning and treatment of the difficult
case. Part 2, the clinicians will each present a case in which you,
the audience, will be shown clinical photographs, pre-treatment
radiographs and supporting data such as medical history, pocket
chartings, previous treatment and other pertinent data. You, the
audience, will be invited to give your ideas on treatment choices
followed by an interactive discussion with the treating doctor.
Finally you will see how the case was actually treated and the results
of that treatment. Part 3, untreated and problematic cases will
be submitted by general dental offices to the expert panelists and
four cases from those submitted will be selected in advance of the
seminar for discussion during the program. The speakers will lead
a discussion on treatment choices of these cases enabling everyone
to learn from the experience and ultimately and most importantly,
the patient will be the beneficiary.

Part
3 - Guidelines
for Submitting a Case:
Submit
an actual, yet untreated case from your office and have it discussed
in an interactive discussion during the seminar, or simple observe
and participate in the case discussions from other offices.
Cases
must be submitted by November 7, 2007 to be considered and the
submitting doctor, or staff member, must already be registered.
The
guidelines
are as follows: |
|
•
|
Select
a difficult case of a patient with advanced periodontal disease
or someone that has not been responsive to treatment rendered
in the past. This case may necessitate decisions whether or
not to save all the teeth, the need for extractions and implants
or just an advanced case of a patient who wants to save all
the teeth. Look for a case that is challenging.
|
|
•
|
Provide
recent full mouth radiographs. If they are film x-rays, duplicate
them and send the originals. If they are digital, send them
on a CD-ROM are email them to InternationalDentalSeminars.com.
If an older set is available and would be helpful, send that
as well. All original film radiographs will be returned.
|
|
•
|
A
periodontal pocket charting with mobility recorded, if present,
should be included.
|
|
•
|
Any
pertinent health history and patient information should be
part of the package.
|
|
•
|
Clinical
photos, although not absolutely necessary, would be helpful.
If possible, include them on a CD-ROM or email them. Printed
photographs will be accepted if digital images are not available.
|
|
•
|
The
advantage of submitting a case and having it selected for discussion
during the meeting is to obtain the opinions of four experienced
clinicians.
Only
FOUR cases will be selected. If your case is one of the four
that is selected to be presented at the course, you and one
staff member, will receive a refund of course tuition.
|
|
•
|
Even
if your case is not selected, you will receive an email consultation
from one of the periodontist speakers with ideas and suggestions
regarding treatment of the patient. Therefore it is to your
and the patient's advantage to submit the information. Start
gathering the information today. You must be registered for
the course prior to the case submission.
