From research we know that a considerable proportion of the patients are not following the advice given to them and seem to lack knowledge concerning the aetiology and prevention of periodontal diseases. So how can we as professionals better educate and inform our patients? The presentation will give clinical advice, based on science, on how to improve adherence to oral hygiene recommendations Aim: To provide a set of simple tools to use in the clinic to enhance your daily communication and increase patient compliance Learning Outcomes: • To have an increased understanding of the role of patient adher ence in relation to oral hygiene • To relate to the cognizance that the patient needs to take an active role in their treatment in order to achieve success • To be able to strategize an effective approach to professional oral hygiene instruction From Löe to Kotsakis – Easily Digested Science about Gingivitis, Periodontitis, InterdentalCleaning and Oral Health Duration: 90 minutes Presenter: Lina Gassner Kanters, Dental hygienist, MSc Oral health The clinical manifestations of periodontal disease have been noted for thousands of years. But little was known about cause and effect, and theories were often subjective or superstitious. Then in 1965, came Löe. For 55 years we have known that gingivitis and periodontitis are initiated by microorganisms and that plaque control is how we prevent these diseases. Presenting historical and current research with a special focus on ID cleaning. Aim: To provide a brief overview of the research that has been published in the last 55 years within the field of interdental cleaning and to emphasize Löe’s findings that support the importance of prevention by plaque control Learning Outcomes: • To acknowledge the importance of patients’ understanding of their oral disease and its treatment in order to achieve successful results • To recognise that interdental cleaning aids play a vital role in opti mising gingival health and preventing oral disease • To understand the scientific basis of interdental cleaning so that you can tailor your oral hygiene recommendations about products and techniques for their use to the specific needs of each patient. New periodontal classifications – An update Duration: 40 minutes Presenter: Sanjay Haryana DDS, MSc, EMBA Over the years, we keep learning more about periodontitis – through research and practical experience. Periodontitis itself never changes but our knowledge does and therefore we have to adapt how we diagnose and describe the disease. The new classifications from 2017 replaces the 1999 classification. Aim: To provide an overview of the new classifications, with practical examples and to be aware of how different countries adapt the system to fit their needs. Learning outcomes • Be aware of the history of the periodontal classifications • Understand why the classifications will continue to evolve • Understand the current classifications and how to use them in your daily practice • To understand the complexity to standardise a classification system for the whole world • Have a knowledge of how countries have adapted the classifica tions to make it work in their specific country Dr. Michaela von Geijer RDH Lina Gassner Kanters Dr. Sanjay Haryana
