SUMMARY:In Office Periodontal Management with Air-Powder\, Ultrasonic and Hybenx Technology: Five Steps to the Optimal Dental Hygiene Appointment
DESCRIPTION:Successful and predictable treatment of periodontal disease can feel overwhelming unless you have a strategic plan. This five step program is a clinical approach that combines ADPIE\, traditional modalities and new evidence based technology to achieve optimum clinical outcomes. These new technologies help to easily remove biofilm and mitigate or arrest active periodontal disease\, lessen operator physical effort during debridement\, while simultaneously improving the patient experience and treatment outcome. \nThis presentation reviews the steps and rationales for a successful and comfortable dental hygiene appointment utilizing erythritol air polish technology\, ultrasonic scaling and Hybenx Desiccation Shock Technology. Evidence will be presented to support all steps of the process\, as well as the appropriate sequencing of these technologies. New mechanical and chemical debridement technology can enhance non surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) and help make periodontal disease management more predictable. \nObjectives of this program include: \n\nDiscuss limitations of convention SRP with ultrasonic\, hand scaling and rubber cup polishing.\nReview the five steps of ADPIE.\nIntroduce the five steps of the optimal dental hygiene appt.\nIntroduce supporting evidence for the use of air-polishing and Hybenx in a periodontal appointment.\nStep by step instructions for the five steps\, including air polish sequencing rationales.\nDiscuss where and when to apply Hybenx in an air polish appointment.\nReview decision making tree for maintenance of periodontal health and early gingivitis vs. periodontal disease.\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Palliative Oral Care
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging\, collaborative webinar as we delve into the vital topic of palliative oral care. Palliative oral care is essential for anyone (at any age) who is dependent on others  or who face serious health-related suffering.  Due to frailty and life-limiting illnesses\, oral care for residents in long-term care (LTC) is paramount to help maintain dignity\, wellbeing and person-centered care throughout all stages of life. \nThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic\, nurses expressed feelings of burnout. This emphasized the urgent need for collaboration among all healthcare professionals to ensure adequate support for caregivers and accessible care for BC residents. \nDental hygienists (DHs) play a pivotal role in maintaining oral health and are dedicated to maintaining competence in supporting the evolving and diverse health needs of the public. Developing competence in delivering palliative dental hygiene care presents an opportunity to apply the full scope of dental hygiene practice by implementing noninvasive techniques and providing comprehensive support. \nIn LTC settings\, integrating DHs as collaborative partners alongside nurses is essential for providing client-centered palliative oral care care. This collaborative approach is fundamental to reducing the severity of oral health problems\, preventing pain\, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort to the end of life. Come join Lynda McKeown (RDH)\, Carolyn Weiss (RDH)\, and Heather WoodBeck (RN) to discuss palliative dental hygiene care for persons in LTC and understand how our residents can access the “right provider at the right time.” \nBushby RL\, McKeown LL\, Raynak SE\, Weiss CL\, Woodbeck HH\, Palliative dental hygiene oral care. In: Darby and Walsh Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice\,6th ed. Pierun JA\, Amyot CC\, editors. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Define and discuss palliative care and explain palliative dental hygiene oral care.\n2. Recognize the signs of frailty\, aging\, and oral complications manifested in the mouth during the process of dying and death.\n3. Understand and apply the dental hygiene process of care to persons who are palliative and/or at the end of life.\n4. Enhance the ability of nurses to  value and promote  palliative oral care as integral to improved quality of life.\n5. Appreciate the role of interprofessional collaboration to provide appropriate oral care for palliative care clients\n6. Advocate for inclusion of dental hygienists as an essential health care provider in legislation in the public health care system. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar: Oral-Systemic Links: What Do We Tell Our Patients?
DESCRIPTION:Oral-Systemic Links: What do we tell our patients?? (1.0 hrs) \nResearch has been conducted for over 30 years on proposed relationships between periodontal disease and numerous systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease\, diabetes\, respiratory diseases etc. However\, the nature of these relationships has not always been clearly described or understood resulting in oral health professionals inadvertently giving their patients inaccurate information. As research continues to evolve\, having a clear understanding of the most current state of the evidence for these relationships can play a significant role in educating your patients.\nThere are currently 57 diseases being researched that are suspected of having some form of relationship with periodontal disease. This course will help you to relay accurate information to your patients about the nature of these linkages and how maintenance of periodontal health can have an influence on their overall health. \nCourse Objectives\n1. Discuss some common misconceptions about the nature of relationships between oral and systemic diseases.\n2. Describe the difference between “association” and “causation”.\n3. Discuss the current state of the evidence for proposed associations between periodontal disease and: cardiovascular diseases\, respiratory diseases\, adverse pregnancy outcomes\, diabetes\, rheumatoid arthritis\, cognitive decline\, inflammatory cancers\, and others.\n4. Discuss the most plausible explanation for these associations.\n5. Discuss how maintaining good periodontal health can have a positive influence on overall health.\n6. Develop educational strategies that will help to provide accurate information to your patients regarding oral-systemic relationships. \nSalme E Lavigne\, Dip.

SUMMARY:The Dental Professional's Guide to Evidence-Based Treatments for Nicotine Addiction (Part 2)
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will cover approaches that can be used by dental staff to guide their patients to change their behaviours around nicotine use and personal oral hygiene techniques. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: SHERRI WARSHAW\, RDH\, CTTS \nSherri began her career as a Dental Assistant in Miami\, Florida 52 years ago. She attended the University of Cincinnati dental hygiene program and has been an RDH for the past 29 years licensed in both Ohio and Florida. For the past decade Sherri has interacted monthly with dozens of dental office staff in her position as a Professional Educator for Waterpik\, Inc. This has provided her the opportunity to stay current in the dental world. After leaving clinical practice Sherri was accepted into the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center program and was certified as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist in 2013. In July 2023 Sherri piloted an certification exam for the American Heart Association and she is one of the first 150 people to receive this credential. Over the past 10 years she has been studying the constantly changing landscape of smoking trends and treating clients. Her passion in this field is motivated by her personal story of losing so many family members to smoking. \nShe has 25 years of experience working as a clinician in Periodontal Specialty offices and was a clinical instructor at the University of Cincinnati dental hygiene program. In addition to her dental career\, Sherri is the owner and founder of Smokefree Steps\, LLC.
