Abstract
The ramifications of an inadequate periodontal diagnosis include the development of iatrogenic periodontal disease and subsequent uncontrolled inflammatory conditions in patients who have entrusted their care to dental professionals.
Failure to diagnose periodontal disease is consistently a top complaint filed with state dental boards. The first step in treating and managing a patient's care is diagnosing disease accurately, ethically, and comprehensively. As diagnostics continually evolve, dental providers are encouraged to put down the scaler and pick up the probe to better guide comprehensive diagnostics for optimal care plans.
Alongside periodontal hygienist Katrina Sanders, explore the 9 distinguished classifications of health, gingival disease, periodontal disease, and acquired deformities and conditions of the periodontium, and review the clinical parameters of peri-implant diseases as well as the Staging and Grading framework outlined by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP). Gain guidance and confidence through case-based scenarios aimed to offer a practical application of course-acquired knowledge. Finally, receive updates as issued by the AAP for further clarity and understanding in classifying diseases of the periodontium.
