Prof. Giulio Rasperini and osteocom are pleased to introduce How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease, the online course dedicated to success strategies in Periodontal therapy that puts at its core conservation VS restoration rationale, addressing whether (and how) a tooth can be saved or must be extracted. The concept of success in Periodontology was recently expressed by Pini Prato and co-workers in an editorial on Journal of Clinical Periodontology as: “(a) treatment and re-evaluation of severely diseased teeth before considering extraction, (b) a tooth loss rate as low as possible as the main point, (c) long-term documentation of periodontal stability and (d) patient satisfaction with improvement of their quality of life.” This video course will help participants to get a deeper understanding of periodontal wound healing biology, healing time and tissue maturation phases, which play a crucial role in Periodontal therapy. It is commonplace to consider Periodontology as a surgical discipline. Yet, such definition is reductive, as Periodontology is actually a Medical discipline: the Periodontist must understand the periodontal disease, control the acute phase, intercept the risk factors and follow the patients adequately during the healing period. The first phase requires critical thinking and special care, as it comprises strategies to control the inflammation process while minimizing soft tissue shrinkage. The second phase of the therapy may involve surgery, in order to correct the defects, scars and tissue loss. The recent development of innovative treatment concepts, new biomaterials and surgical techniques has brought an answer to the increasing demand for therapy options, where promoting new formation of periodontal bone and tissue around compromised teeth is no longer a risk, but is supported by favourable and predictable long-term outcome prospective. “How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease“ shares therapy protocols, detailed treatment plans, and several supportive clinical cases with 10+ years of follow up, to provide the learner with the latest concepts concerning periodontal treatment. Thanks to this course, participants will get a deeper understanding of: The adequate healing time of the periodontium after non-surgical therapy Phenotype-specific decision-making strategies When and how exploit the synergy between antibiotic therapy and non-surgical therapy Proper and effective non-surgical therapy protocols Data and features that make surgery a mandatory option Tooth conservation VS restoration, when a tooth may be saved or when it should to be extracted Tooth mobility management Bone loss - clinical approaches Fracture - clinical approaches Root resorption - clinical approaches Furcation involvement - clinical approaches Ortho-Perio multidisciplinary approaches
