An Innovative Approach

PRESENTATIONS

Oral disease is not only epidemic in some parts of the resource-poor world, but also shockingly prevalent in our resource-rich, affluent world. This course illustrates how culturally homogenous but geographically dispersed populations can have a profound effect on local dental practices as people migrate worldwide.

Oral Health Risks and Cultural Habits

Ultrasonics: The System of Periodontal Therapy

Ultrasonic treatment helps meet the demands of today’s non-surgical periodontal therapy. This course uses examples and data from the speaker’s hands-on experience and scientific research in order to challenge and motivate the participant to utilize innovative ultrasonic technology.

New technology often guides patient acceptance of preventive and periodontal therapies for oral diseases that have few typical symptoms. This course challenges and motivates oral health professionals, through scientific research of the latest leading-edge technologies, to be knowledgeable and sophisticated leaders in improving patient health.

Oral Health Risks and Cultural HabitsDefend Your Patients Against Oral Cancer

We see a broad mix of people from global cultures as patients in our dental practices. Do you know the specific cultural health risks and habits that can cause oral diseases and cancer?

Oral disease is not only epidemic in some parts of the resource-poor world, but also shockingly prevalent in our resource-rich, affluent world. The work of the oral health provider is more important than ever due to global trends and the alarming rise in oral cancer incidence rates. Oral health professionals are in the best position to notice mucosal changes that may be pre-cancerous or cancerous and make the patient aware of them. Those discoveries may save patients’ lives.

This course raises oral health professionals’ awareness of unique risks associated with widespread cultural and social oral habits, such as chewing betel nut, khat, smokeless tobacco, and using coca leaf or kola nut. Understanding the social and cultural context of these practices is integral to helping patients alleviate and overcome adverse effects on oral health, human wellness, and global health. This course illustrates how culturally homogenous but geographically dispersed populations can have a profound effect on local dental practices as people migrate worldwide.

Make global connection and knowledge transfer about oral cancer, disease prevention, and oral health your superpower as you promote overall health. Participants will be powerfully engaged with graphic images and videos from 15 years of global research on cultural oral habits, with a specific focus on research based in Vietnam. Participant interaction is invited regarding the crisis in oral health in the dental practice and to motivate preventive solutions.

Ultrasonics: The System of Periodontal Therapy

Dental professionals do not want their patients to hurt during treatment. Patients seldom understand that oral disease is what causes their pain.

Patients want painless oral health care from dental professionals who have achieved clinical confidence in higher functioning skills, along with systems that make them unique and different. Ultrasonic treatment is the most revolutionary system available to take dental care to the next level of superior client service. It helps meet the demands of today’s non-surgical periodontal therapy. This course uses examples and data from the speaker’s hands-on experience and scientific research in order to challenge and motivate the participant to utilize innovative ultrasonic technology.

Describe the benefits of ultrasonic technology for both patient and provider

Demonstrate increased skills and competence when using ultrasonic systems

Explain the results achieved through ultrasonic therapy and non-surgical periodontal treatment

Do you wonder if the equipment you are using is the best fit for your patients? Is your technology at the leading edge for preventing oral disease?

New treatments and innovative systems in diagnostics, therapies, and oral disease prevention are creating advanced dental hygiene management to help patients who suffer from compromised oral health.

New technology often guides patient acceptance of preventive and periodontal therapies for oral diseases that have few typical symptoms, such as pain or discomfort. This course challenges and motivates oral health professionals, through scientific research of the latest leading-edge technologies, to be knowledgeable and sophisticated leaders in improving patient health. Explore new tools, such as lasers; periodontal probes with cameras; piezoelectric ultrasonic systems with implant debridement developments; saliva tests for periodontal disease, caries, and oral cancer screening with adjunct devices.

The participant will be engaged powerfully through a visual presentation and interactive learning that encourages dental hygienists to provide a full spectrum of the highest quality services available to the patient.
