Translating Periodontal Diagnoses into Clinical Practice
Patients with advanced periodontal destruction pose a unique challenge to the restorative dentist. Tooth loss, increased mobility, and severe attachment loss complicate ways to restore a patient’s function and esthetics. Systemic health plays an increasingly important role in the periodontal-restorative interface. Arriving at the proper diagnosis and prognosis for patients with poor oral and overall health will improve the way we rehabilitate an otherwise hopeless dentition.
- Stage and grade periodontal conditions using the new classification system
- Diagnose and prognosticate cases of advanced periodontal breakdown
- Identify and manage systemic diseases during dental treatment
- Understand how periodontal surgery can be incorporated into prosthetic reconstructions
