The 1st Joint APO-PSP Meeting
A Collaborative Approach to Treating the Ortho-Perio Patient
Breaking Through Against Compromised Periodontal Health
This three-lecture conference will present the various diseases that impact the periodontium, how to manage these patients appropriately, with special emphasis on the proper treatment of periodontally compromised teeth and approach in placing dental implants for such patients with severely reduced periodontium.
Creating Smiles with a Strong Foundation
It is crucial for dental professionals to acknowledge the interrelationship between periodontics and orthodontics and the potential of integrating both therapies to achieve optimal oral health and esthetics for our patients requiring complex interdisciplinary care. This presentation will delve into the synergistic relationship between periodontics and orthodontics, highlighting the importance of a strong periodontal foundation for successful orthodontic treatment.
Furcation Involvement in Periodontology
The treatment of teeth with furcations affected by periodontal disease is one of the most challenging situations for the dental community. When the periodontal disease affects the furcation area, tooth loss chance increases considerably.
Prosthodontic Considerations in Periodontally Compromised Dentitions
Placement of restorations and dental prostheses are necessary to rebuild missing teeth and to rehabilitate occlusal functions. However, design and fabrication of prostheses for the purpose in periodontally compromised dentitions should be carefully adopted in order to protect the limited periodontium from further deterioration. It highlights the need for well-balanced occlusal loading, adequate assessment of plaque control, and motivation of periodontal maintenance.
