Overview

Live CE Webinar: April 15, 2025, 7:30-9:00 PM ET


The updated AAP classification system introduced in 2019 represents a multi-dimensional staging and grading framework for periodontitis and implant disease status. A hallmark feature of the updated system brings opportunities for more case specific patient care. This course will examine the concepts of staging and grading to classify each patient by complexity of case management, likelihood of less predictable response to therapy, and potential for periodontitis development.


The need for calibration amongst faculty is critical for students to utilize the classification system accurately. This course will demonstrate examples of curriculum alignment with CODA standards and examples of introduction into the curriculum.
