Presentation Two: 12-2 pm The Future is NOW….Implementing Minimally Invasive Dental Hygiene Therapy into Clinical Practice
Do you ever provide preventive therapy and feel as though something is missing? You’ve used mechanical, hand instrumentation, and polishing agents, yet biofilm is still present. Technology has provided dental hygienists with an effective and efficient way to disrupt biofilm minimizing the use of mechanical and hand instrumentation yet, providing a systematic, predictable approach to biofilm disruption.
Minimally invasive therapies provide clinicians with the best way to safely remove biofilm from around implants, crowns, primary teeth, and natural teeth using a non-abrasive powder, warm water, and air. This course will provide a better understanding of dental hygiene therapies and how to introduce them to your team and patients. In addition, this interactive course will guide you through a systematic approach to disease diagnosis and patient motivation through risk assessment while achieving optimal results based on individualized precision patient care.
Course Objectives
- Understand why minimally invasive dental hygiene therapy encourages improved oral health outcomes.
- Discuss ways to integrate minimally invasive dental hygiene therapy into their practice.
- Explain minimally invasive dental hygiene therapy with your patients.
- Consider guided biofilm therapy for performing minimally invasive dental hygiene therapy.
