The Synergy of 4 Pillars for Optimal Treatment of Periodontal Disease- Martha Szczepulsk The increasing complexity of classifying and treating periodontal disease can feel overwhelming unless you have a strategic plan. The Four Pillars of Periodontal Treatment is a clinical approach that combines traditional evidence based modalities with new technology to achieve optimum clinical outcomes. These new technologies help to easily identify and monitor active periodontal disease, mitigate operator effort during debridement, while simultaneously improving the patient experience and treatment outcome. Scientific evidence and the new classification system have reinforced the concept that the treatment of periodontal disease is more than the mechanical removal of biofilm and calculus, and the deleterious effects of oral inflammation are not limited to the mouth. For the first time in decades, technology can assist the periodontal disease diagnosis and non surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT and complement the time honored methods of probing, radiography and debridement. It is time for dental hygienists to work smarter, not harder! Join us for this exciting look at the modern dental hygiene appointment! |
