SUMMARY:Fireside Chat: Understanding and Implementing Salivary Diagnostics
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about salivary diagnostics and how it can be implemented in your practice? Do you use the latest technology\, such as salivary diagnostics\, to identify risks and improve your patient outcomes? In this discussion with Kerry and Dr. Jim\, we will explore how to use the patient’s health history\, periodontal status\, and assessment information to determine when testing is recommended. Knowing the type and quantity of pathogens present is essential in developing a treatment plan that can reduce their numbers and maintain oral and systemic health. We will also discuss some systemic diseases associated with periodontal pathogenic bacteria and how this information can be conveyed. Oral bacteria tests are smart\, safe\, and simple and can help us identify the hidden oral pathogens that pose a future threat to your client’s oral and systemic health. \nSuggested QA Categories: D1\,D2\,D3\,D6\, E2\,E3 \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nCourse Objectives:\n\nUnderstand how to identify clients who could benefit from bacterial testing based on their health history\, periodontal status\, and other risk factors.\nAcquire knowledge on how microbiology\, periodontology and oral systemic link are connected.\nIdentify high-risk and moderate-risk pathogenic bacteria and their treatment solutions.\nDiscuss how to implement salivary testing in your practice.\nGain knowledge on how to communicate the report findings with your patient.\n\nSpeaker\nKerry Lepicek\, RDH is a registered dental hygienist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has worked in various practice settings and currently works part-time in general practice. As an international speaker\, she has delivered lectures throughout Canada\, the United States\, and Bermuda. Kerry is knowledgeable on the topics of oral biofilm\, halitosis\, the oral-systemic connection\, and the dental hygiene process of care. Her primary focus is on educating her patients as well as the dental profession on periodontal health and wellness. In addition to being a section editor for The Hygiene Corner with Women In Dentistry\, she serves on the Advisory Board of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health and is a cast member of The RDH View. She is a published author and has been interviewed on numerous podcasts. Kerry will provide you with practical advice that will transform your practice and the health of your patients. \nDr. Jim Hyland B.Sc.\, DDS graduated from the University of Toronto in 1976 and has always been one of the first to implement the latest techniques\, research\, and philosophies in oral care. In addition to working part-time in private practice\, he is also the CEO of OraVital. Dr. Hyland has taught at the University of Toronto Faculty of Dentistry\, Seneca College\, and George Brown College and served on the dental staff at North York Hospital. During his downtime\, he lectures and writes on a variety of topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease as an oral infection\, interceptive preventive care\, oral-systemic risk\, and halitosis. Dr. Hyland’s nickname is “Dr. Hygiene.” \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Webinar: Returning the Oral Microbiome to a Symbiotic State
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThis course discusses the concept of microbial dysbiosis based on the findings\nof the Human Microbiome Project and how the microbes that we live with are\nnot necessarily the culprits we have been lead to believe. How microbes\ninteract with the human immune system is a fine line that can either protect or\nharm the host. A toolbox of strategies will be provided that will help clinicians\nto educate their patients about how to return a dysbiotic microbiome into a state\nof symbiosis. \nObjectives\n1. Discuss findings from the “Human Microbiome Project” and how they relate to the oral microbiome.\n2. Explain the interaction between a dysbiotic microbiome and its relationship to inflammation and periodontitis.\n3. Describe several systemic mediators that play a role in the transition from a healthy symbiotic state to one of disease or dysbiosis.\n4. Discuss how microbial dysbiosis and “Precision Medicine” influenced the development of the new classification of periodontal disease.\n5. Describe various evidence based strategies that will provide clinicians with the tools to assist their patients in reversing their state of dysbiosis back to one of symbiosis.\n6. Use a decision tree that models the concept of “Precision Medicine” to assist you with personalizing your recommendations for each individual patient. \nSalme E Lavigne\, Dip. DH\, BA\, MSDH\, PhD\nSalme was the founding Director of the dental hygiene program at Confederation College (Thunder Bay\, ON); Associate Professor & Chair of the Department of Dental Hygiene at Wichita State University (Wichita\, KS); and Professor & Director\, School of Dental Hygiene at the University of Manitoba.

Salme has authored three textbook chapters\, and has over 75 publications in both national and international peer reviewed journals and has delivered over 100 continuing education presentations in Canada\, the US\, Scandinavia\, Holland\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Australia\, China and South Africa. Her research interests lie in periodontics; oral-systemic health connections; and community health. \nRecommended QA Subcategories: D2\, D3\, D3\, E6 \nClick here to register
