Mastertrack: Periodontics/Implants – Dr. Jun Lim at Henry Schein, Elmhurst, IL
Registration is closed. Please call Dr. Sy Wachtenheim for course availability.
Current Methods in Periodontal Therapy Including a Periodontist’s View of Implant Dentistry
The most common treatment for periodontal disease is wait and see. This state of affairs is not without justification. Periodontitis is a chronic disease without a cure. Similar to most chronic diseases, early detection and treatment initiation results in better outcomes. We will discuss appropriate treatment options including dental implants for various degrees of periodontal disease. Recognition of adequate tissue requirements for implant placement can lead to timely treatment while avoiding difficult and unpredictable procedures. The course will include treatment planning and site preparation for implant placement, including a hands-on demonstration. Decellularized dermis grafting, socket grafting and ridge augmentation will be discussed, demonstrated and practiced on pig jaws.
