Conference summary

Presentation 1.

The contribution of periodontology to oral health care: personalized approach, behavioural change and risk management (2h30 pm – 3:45 pm)

Aims and objectives

  1. To describe the rationale behind risk assessment and its role in contemporary preventive practice.
  2. To demonstrate the impact of personalized biofeedback on patient behaviour and on clinical measures of oral health.
  3. To demonstrate that risk-based prevention is the foundation stone of 21st century preventive dentistry.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Understand why risk assessment is central to the practice of individualised patient-centred care.
  2. Appreciate the learnings from the COVI19 pandemic and their influence on the short and longer term.
  3. Be aware of the stepped approach to evidence-based treatment from the S3-Level clincial guideline for Stage I-III periodontitis and the key role of risk assessment in Step-1.
  4. Understand the impact of individualised biofeedback upon patient understanding and engagement in their own oral health regime and the impact on clincial outcomes of disease.
  5. Appreciate the value of risk assessment in informing care pathways in contemporary dental practice, and how it underpins the shift from repair models of care to wellness models.
  6. Have insight into the medico-legal impact of risk assessment for prevention.

 

Presentation 2.

The inter-relationship between periodontitis and systemic pathologies (5h30 pm – 6h45 pm)

Death by Co-morbidity: is there a role for Periodontitis?

 

Aims & Objectives

  1. To share the truth about periodontal-systemic connections according to the current evidence base.
  2. To visualise the impact of periodontitis as a chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) using video animations.
  3. To provide the evidence base for the links between periodontitis and systemic diseases.
  4. To glimpse into the future role of the dental team in medical management of their patients.

 

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this lecture delegates will be able to:

  1. Understand the impact of severe periodontitis upon life expectancy.
  2. Be able to confidently discuss and explain to patients the impact of oral health upon general health without alarming them.
  3. To understand how periodontitis may be causally involved in systemic NCDs of ageing.
