Date & Time
Saturday, July 20, 2024, 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Kerry Lepicek
Description

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discover techniques to identify red flags and risk factors for patients as well as determine appropriate treatment interventions.
  • Explore the scientific basis for systemic diseases related to high-risk periodontal pathogens.
  • Understand when to collaborate with other health practitioners.
  • Identify why the assessment phase is essential for the early detection of oral cancer, high blood pressure, and oral microbiome dysbiosis.

Learn how to conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of your patient's health by paying attention to the common 'Red Flags' you observe in your practice. These indicators can help uncover underlying systemic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and dementia. Kerry will go over the items that are typically considered 'normal' or 'within normal limits' but may require further investigation. By utilizing technology, biofilm analysis, and medical test results, we can gain greater insight into our patients' overall health and identify opportunities for improvement. We'll also emphasize the importance of collaborating with other healthcare professionals as we identify and address Red Flags.
