TOGETHER WE CAN BUILD HEALTHIER & BRIGHTER SMILES

Live CE Webinar: May 14, 2025, 7:30-9:00 PM ET

A historical journey through the evolution and development of oral flora. Understanding the microbiome from nomenclature to gram-positive and gram-negative and the impact each of these pathogens has on one another and ultimately the host. We learned plaque and stain removal as a finishing and esthetic step of oral prophylaxis. Crossing the chasm from what we learned as a primarily esthetic procedure to a truly therapeutic procedure can have a direct impact on the health of teeth and titanium. A highlight of this program reveals decades of scientific research on guided biofilm therapy and the evidence-based approach to eliminating biofilm versus simply disrupting it.

The primary learning objective for this course is to increase your general knowledge of the evolution of various plaque hypotheses throughout the years, highlighting the current view of plaque biofilm as an integral part of the oral microbiome; its role in health and disease; and the ramifications for periodontal therapy.
