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.
