In this course, Dr Rajiv Verma, will look at the updated techniques that ultrasonics play in the treatment of periodontal and peri-implant diseases.

Given the high prevalence of these diseases, it is essential to determine the periodontal risk assessment and consequently develop the most efficient long-term maintenance strategy.

This course is complemented by a hands-on component, delving into the recent advances of ultrasonics and the role that it plays in the treatment, prevention and patient education of periodontal and peri-implant disease.

The Ultrasonic Instrumentation in Periodontics course, is an excellent and unique opportunity to gain a further understanding behind the use of ultrasonics in treating and maintaining a highly prevalent disease.

Topics include

• Role of biofilms in periodontal and implant disease
• Recent advances in ultrasonics 
• Role of ultrasonics for prevention and treatment of periodontitis and peri-implant diseases
• Periodontal risk assessment 
• Long-term maintenance
• Hands-on training

Learning Objectives

• Participants will have a more advanced understanding of the role biofilm plays in periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
• Participants will obtain an understanding behind the recent advances in piezoelectric ultrasonic generators.
• Participants will be able to formulate appropriate treatment planning of periodontal and peri-implant diseases by understanding the periodontal risk assessment.
• Participants will be able to master the technique and application of ultrasonic treatment in patients exhibiting periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
