Saving Teeth Webinar Series
Developed by the AAP Work Group on Emerging Technologies for Bone and Soft Tissue Reconstruction to Save Teeth, this webinar series explores the latest evidence-based strategies to preserve natural dentition. Through engaging, one-hour sessions, expert speakers will highlight both traditional and emerging therapies and technologies that support dental preservation. Designed for general dentists, periodontists, and residents, the series aims to advance clinical knowledge, spark collaboration, and raise awareness about the importance and benefits of saving teeth.
Description:
Periodontists are uniquely positioned to diagnose and treat periodontal disease. Careful assessment of tissue destruction caused by dysbiosis is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment approach. Understanding changes in osseous architecture helps guide treatment planning, including incision and flap design, the use of biomaterials and strategies to promote blood clot stability and maximize wound stability. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a regenerative outcome that supports the preservation of a healthy natural dentition.
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the technical factors that the periodontist can control to maximize
the regenerative potential of a surgical intervention.
2. Explain the importance of flap perfusion, incision tracing, clot stability, soft
tissue handling, osseous architecture, biomaterial selection and wound
stability in periodontal regenerative therapy.
3. Incorporate practical tools to support intraoperative decisions when
managing periodontally compromised teeth.
