CE Hours
The mouth is the tide pool of the human body, defended by a secretion that some claim to be “The ideal diagnostic fluid.” Saliva (or lack thereof) drives the disease processes that oral healthcare professionals have come to know, love, and despise, and yet our frequent interaction with this fluid most often consists of suctioning it out of our way as quickly as possible. If you struggle to help your patients who lack saliva, this course will provide you with new techniques, and will leave you drooling for more.
Speakers
In this course attendees will:
- Defend and refute The Stephan Curve
- Explain the role of salivary proteins in stabilizing the oral ecosystem
- Mitigate the effects of xerostomia and hyposalivation
