SUMMARY:Introducing PerioMonitor: Integrating Oral Neutrophil Monitoring In Your Practice
DESCRIPTION:At any given time\, diseases of oral inflammation effect 75% of people and only the most severe stages are typically symptomatic. Like elevated blood pressure\, oral inflammation is a silent disease that has great effects on health\, yet is greatly underdiagnosed or even undiagnosed\, contributing to oral and systemic negative repercussions. \nRapid point of care oral neutrophil testing and monitoring provides a user friendly and cost-efficient method for detecting oral inflammation. This testing method will enhance screening\, diagnostics\, monitoring and most importantly\, treatment planning and acceptance. \nFrom this course\, the learner will be able to: \n\nDescribe the importance of oral inflammation and evaluate the pros and cons of our current diagnostic tools.\nDescribe oral neutrophils and identify why they are a strong adjunctive tool to monitor any source of oral inflammation.\nDiscuss the criteria for oral screening tools and correlate the features of point-of-care oral neutrophil testing to the necessary criteria of a successful assessment tool.\nDiscuss the mechanism of action\, administration and interpretation of oral neutrophil testing.\nDemonstrate how oral neutrophil testing can be used to enhance screening\, monitoring\, treatment planning and increase treatment plan acceptance.\nExplore case studies using oral neutrophil testing to assist with diagnosis of oral inflammation\, highlighting how testing positively impacts treatment outcomes.\n\nPRESENTER\nMartha is a passionate dental hygienist that has also established herself as a distinguished educator and speaker in the field. Working as a dental hygienist since 2005\, her professional journey has been enriched by her experiences in general and community dental practices\, dental hygiene education\, and mobile dental hygiene in long-term care settings. Currently\, she holds the position of Professional Education Leader at Oral Science. Martha’s approach focuses on analyzing the data to uncover the most relevant\, actionable insights for dental clinicians. Her vision is to bridge the gap between evidence-based practice and practical common sense\, aiming to provide solutions that are straightforward and actionable. Martha lives in Vancouver\, BC and enjoys staying active\, whether at the gym\, cycling scenic routes or skiing the local cross country trails. \nREGISTER HERE
