“Treating Advanced Periodontal Disease: Are We in the Post Surgery Era?”

Traditionally, periodontal therapy consisted of SRP and then flap surgery and bone regeneration for sites that didn’t respond. Advances in technology have completely changed the periodontal treatment paradigm. The use of the periodontal endoscopy and Nd:YAG laser have provided a quantum leap in our ability to treat advanced periodontal disease in a conservative fashion. This fast moving and exciting program will discuss these changes and empower the audience to treat advance periodontal disease more conservatively.

Objectives:

• Understand the limitations of SRP.

• Understand how advances in technology have reduced the need for osseous surgery.

• Understand indications where traditional osseous surgery is still needed.
