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 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.

Implants cannot be placed, restored and forgotten. Specialized hand and power instruments, powders, and accessories coupled with proper oral hygiene can better preserve a variety of implant restorations in a gentle yet effective way. This is especially true in cases of periodontal breakdown, where gingival recession, a lack of keratinized mucosa, and/or exposed implant threads complicate maintenance. Implementing these best-evidence protocols will improve the patient experience and their homecare and revamp your dental hygiene practice.

This course seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of implant surface decontamination therapies for treatment of peri-implant disease.

The placement of endosseous dental implants is a well-accepted treatment option for edentulism as implants have demonstrated high survival rates over long periods of time.[1](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#1) Dental implants are a common and growing treatment modality and it is estimated that up to 5 million dental implants are placed each year.[2](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#2) While dental implant survival rates remain high, reports indicate that a significant proportion of dental implants will develop peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.[3-6](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#3) Prevalence data for peri-implant disease is heterogeneous, but estimates suggest that the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis range from 46-63% and 19-23%, respectively.[7](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#7) Inflammatory implant diseases are progressive and it has been shown that the inflammatory lesions associated with peri-implant diseases are larger than those around teeth with similar clinical presentation.[8,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#8)[9](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#9) There are several risk factors that can lead to inflammation, peri-implant mucositis, and, later, peri-implantitis.[4,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#4)[10-12](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#10) Systemic and environmental factors may play a secondary role in disease progression and susceptibility, but peri-implant diseases are initiated by accumulation of bacterial biofilm.[4,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#4)[13,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#13)[14](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#14) As bacterial plaque is the primary etiology for peri-implant disease, current therapies for peri-implantitis require dental plaque removal and implant surface detoxification as a critical step for successful surgical and/or nonsurgical treatment of peri-implantitis.[15,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#15)[16](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#16) This surface detoxification has been accomplished with physical, chemical, laser therapy, and/or other means.

Treatment of peri-implantitis is unpredictable. It has been reported that even with strict supportive peri-implant therapy after active treatment for peri-implant disease, complete resolution of disease is not achieved in the majority of cases over the long term.[17,](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#17)[18](/en-us/ce-courses/ce696/references#18) Given the paucity of evidence for efficacious treatments of peri-implant disease, it is imperative that clinicians monitor and prevent the development of inflammation and provide intervention at the earliest possible time in the disease process. Further, critical evaluation of available treatment modalities is imperative to understand best practices for treatment of implant diseases.

Participants in this course will be introduced to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, which was updated in 2024 to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling (GHS). In addition, they will be introduced to the proper management of common hazardous materials found in the dental office. The course is advisory in nature and informational in content. Its purpose is to assist oral healthcare facilities to identify relevant parts of the rule. In addition, it provides guidance to develop and implement an effective HazCom program.

Hazard Communication Compliance and Waste Management

An ideal smile is composed of individual components that interact in a harmonic manner. The three primary aspects of an ideal smile are: the teeth, lips, and gingiva. While beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, there are established guidelines to which we should adhere when assessing and creating overall ideal smile esthetics. This course seeks to describe the current evidence assessing ideal smile components as well as the impact of age, gender, and race/ethnicity on how smiles are judged as attractive or unattractive.
