1. Disrupt, Debride, Detoxify: Implant Maintenance, Home-Care & Disease Treatment 

To prevent peri-implant complications, professional in-office assessment, maintenance, and home-care recommendations are vital. For long-term implant success clinicians need to detect early signs of implant complications, diagnose any complications to provide early intervention and be able to perform professional in-office maintenance treatment. This course will follow the global healthy implant initiative for ceramic and titanium implants based on Susan’s Clinical White Paper: Long-term prevention of peri-implant complications and textbook: Peri-Implant Therapy for the Dental Hygienist: Second Edition.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Learn the current research protocols, tools, treatments, and complications for long-term prevention of peri-implant disease. 
2. Detect: Put into practice biofilm identification, five-step protocol to assess & monitor dental implants. 
3. Diagnose: Understand early intervention guidelines based on American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) peri-implant soft and hard deficiencies.
4. Treatment: Biofilm-focused titanium and ceramic implant maintenance for all forms of implant-borne restorations / prostheses. 
5. Prevention: Importance of home-care recommendations for titanium/ceramic implants patients.

2. Prevent, Protect, Preserve! Natural Teeth, Implants and Restorations 

It is a vital time to protect our patients’ teeth, implants, and overall health. Biofilm disruption, proper tools for debridement and home-care to eliminate inflammation is KEY! This course will introduce you to bioactive materials, sealants, and varnishes to prevent decay, protect implants and preserve restorations. Provide you with safe, effective protocols and home-care for teeth, implants, and disease treatment to elevate your patient care to the next level! 

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn the current guidelines and clinical applications based on ACP Guidelines for Tooth- and Implant-Borne Restoration Patients and World Workshop AAP/EFP Classification for Periodontal and Peri-Implant Conditions. 
2. Put into clinical practice new protocols, tools, and products for patients’ natural teeth, implants, and preservation of restorations.  
3. Understand WHY biofilm-focused home-care is essential for patients’ oral and overall health. 
4. Participate in a FUN interactive trial of the latest preventive, protective, and preservation products. 

3. Lights, lasers, cure! Time to focus on biofilm and occupational health

Now more than ever dental hygienists need to focus on biofilm-focused protocols for their patients’ overall health and self-care to last longer in our profession. What tools and products to use and recommend for tooth – and implant-borne restoration patients for maintenance, home-care, and disease treatment. This program includes how to create a non-reflective environment, technology, and products, what to use and what not to use to make a difference in occupational longevity for you as a hygienist. 

Learning objectives: 

1. Review the current research classifications for periodontal / peri-implant disease and American College of Prosthodontists’ (ACP) Guidelines for recare, maintenance, and home-care of patients with tooth-borne & implant-borne restorations.
2. Explore bioactive sealants, restorations, and the protocol to protect and recharge them.  
3. Put into practice latest biofilm-focused maintenance, home-care and disease treatment protocols for natural teeth and implant patients.  
4. Be able to create a non-reflective environment and manage aerosols for long-term health for YOU.  
5. Understand how select curing lights, lasers, and personal protection equipment that can affect your occupational health.
